Go Blake Go!



Getting ready to kick it in for the last few yards!

Powering up!!!! GO BLAKE!
And he's gone!
Proud cheerleaders on the side lines. Cousins and friends! Aunt Brandi, Andrew, Mitchell and mom not pictured!

Blake loves to try different sports. He seems to enjoy everything he tries! Steve and I get so excited as he takes on each new adventure! He has been training with our schools cross country team since July. He would have morning cross country practice and afternoon wrestling practice. I wish I had his self motivation! I keep telling him his hard work will pay off! Last week his team had a competition to see who got to be the varsity team and run for this past Sat. meet. They were only taking the top 10! Blake was number 10! Thank goodness- He got to go. He came in 6th place for our team Sat. and number 33 out of all 200 runners. We were so excited for this being his first ever run! Tonight he did it again. It is amazing to see him come out of all those big cluster of kid and kick it in! It is so fun to watch. My little guy is getting some muscles-he starting to kinda get some buff going on! It almost makes me emotional to watch. I was one proud mama! I know this sounded bragging but I had to do it!!! Way to go Blake. He finished #21 out of 200 today and number #5 for our school team. I can't wait to see how he does Sat. again! He's trying to talk our friend that is pregnant with her 6th baby to run with him on his off Sat. in Sept. Too bad his mama's not in good enough shape to kick some bootie!!!Proud Daddy and sisters!

I have never understood running.


Doesn't he realize he could get there faster in a car?

Way to go Blake!

Way to go Blake!!! He is getting so big...those muscles! Wow! He is good at everything he does.

Gretchen- it is ok to brag on your kids. This is YOUR blog that is what you are suppose to do. These are YOUR memories. If there is anyone who doesn't like it they don't have to read it!!! ;)
