How I know my kids are really my kids…..

…..they’re champions!!! :)

I know I started this blog as more of a analysis of life as a Republican rookie tree hugger. However, at times I have found it necessary to venture from the message and share experiences that I find to be either interesting or in this case just plain incredible.

My daughter is a swimmer. I know what you all are thinking…duh. She clearly got her streamlined, svelte, carving-through-the-water physique from her father right? However, you would be wrong.  She did not get the swimming gene from me and I am forced to give credit to mom on this one.

In the Valley’s most competitive junior high swim meet she rose to the occasion and got a Gold medal in the 200M relay. They nearly broke the meet record and pretty much buried the other teams.

 

Last night Jakes baseball team won the AAA River Park Little League Championship. In the semifinals in the very last half of the inning with the score tied, Jake hit a walk-off RBI hit to win the game catapulting the team into the finals where they beat the Cubs, a team that had dominated the league for most of the season.

Next up…..the Tournament of Champions which is the District Little League tournament.

We’ve had a pretty good year and I couldn’t help but take this opportunity to brag on my kids a bit. Thanks for indulging me. :)
