Carson:
Devin’s old number was #12. That is a 2 number and a 3 number. Because you can get there by counting by twos and by threes.
Carson is 5, by the way
Now he’s trying to count to 98 by threes to see if it is just a two number or a two number and a three number.
Month: January 2015
Pre-Man Rush
In the car this afternoon, Carson asked me if I knew what a pre-man rush defense was. I figured he meant “three man rush” so I asked for clarification.
But no, he meant PRE MAN RUSH. That’s when anyone can go after the guy who has the ball.
Then I got asked if I knew what a free-man rush is. Because that’s when you go after the quarterback after he hikes the ball.
For more clarification, see video below.
I guess maybe we need to watch MORE football.

Rick is out of town this week so I had to take the kids to before care for before school care.
This picture is remarkable in that it shows my kids at school and neither one had a meltdown getting ready that morning. That never happens. #momsrock
Ski Trip 2014 – Take 2
I hate to say Mallory jinxed the football team, but I think Mallory jinxed the football team. Back in the summer she asked if the next time Michigan didn’t make it to a bowl game, if we could go to Colorado to ski at Christmas.
Well, we didn’t make it to a bowl game. Or even Colorado. But we did go skiing up north before Christmas. And we had a fabulous time.
These are all iPhone pictures so ignore the selfie-ism-ness of them :-D
We arrived around 5p on Saturday, thinking we’d get unpacked, swim (outside!), grab dinner and watch my Broncos play …
Rock Star
Mallory swam today.
Check out those time improvements.
That is all.
Oh and she won a heat finally!!

In an effort to actual post stuff more frequently, I’m going to try this 52 week thing.
This is week 1.
Mallory got her grade back on a speech she did last month about Michigan football. I have a video of her practicing her speech somewhere – I need to find it. She recited Bo Schembechler’s “The Team, The Team, The Team” speech. So awesome.
I am in a challenge with a friend to get 30 days of 30 minutes of exercise, so I have been on the treadmill earning minutes and steps. Last night Carson came down after his bath and announced …
#JustKeepSwimming
Mallory is still swimming this fall – this time for DCAC. Fall swim team was way different than summer swim team – it isn’t as warm & fuzzy as we experienced with summer. After some adjustments – to new coaches and swimming inside and cold pools – Mal-Star is rocking it. She had a couple of friends who swam this fall with her and helped with the transition to this new team.
These pictures are from a meet in Dexter in December (was just a small one-club meet – so I got to be on the deck to take pictures!). Mallory …
