Olympic Thoughts

I've been watching some of the olympics with Tyler and Johnny today. Tyler has decided he's a China fan and is rooting for the Chinese in every event. Johnny wants to know why he doesn't speak Chinese since he was born in Singapore... He also thinks the diving commentators really need to stop knocking the divers for entering the water too soon. I think someone needs to get real and get rid of synchronized diving! What kind of event is that? Was it too boring just watching one diver at a time? You never see synchronized free throw shooting, or synchronized pitching, synchronized bicycling... why is there a need for synchronized diving and swimming.

The Climbing Wall

Johnny & Tyler went to the climbing wall today - Johnny's 2nd time and Tyler's 1st. If you click on the thumbnails be aware the files are big.

Hat-Trick Saturday

Johnny during a rare moment of rest from his game Saturday. He plays the equivalent of the Sweeper position (except there are only 4 players on a side and no goalkeepers). He ran the field like a madman and scored 3 goals as well as making a number of great stops. He hadn't scored this season (5 games so far) and kind of dejectedly told me before this game, "I don't know if I'll get a goal or not). So he was pretty excited, but played it cool on the field after each goal. Tyler was unable to replicate his 4 goal game last week, but had a blast playing - as usual.

Soccer & Baseball

We've been busy lately with soccer season in full swing and baseball season starting up. Johnny is playing soccer and coach pitch, and has his first baseball game tomorrow. Tyler is play soccer and had his first t-ball game last night. Nothing like a saturday starting with 2 baseball practices at 9 and moving on to 2 soccer games and then 2 more baseball games and 2 soccer practices mid-week!

What a match: Tottenham 3-4 Man City

Manchester City produced one of the greatest comebacks in FA Cup history as they came from three goals and a man down at half-time to beat Tottenham 4-3. I caugth the second half last night (after watching the Lakers pull out a win in OT).

Man City won on a 90th minute header! To make it even more dramatic they were playing 10 men the whole second half as Barton was shown a 2nd yellow card for arguing at the end of the 1st half.

Double Flips

Tyler & Johnny have been having a blast with all the snow and their 'snowboards,' as you can tell from the pictures. Tyler's only complaint is that he wants to do '2 flips.' He mentioned this desire Christmas morning when he first saw the snowboards and it has not let off even after finding out it's a bit hard for him to ride standing up without ending in a face plant.

We watched some snowboarding competition Sat. and saw a couple guys do a flip. I asked Tyler if that's what he wanted to do and he said yes, except he wants to do 2 flips, not one like they did.

Boxing Day

24 degrees and snow!
