The Olympics...

I know that we have another week of the 2012 Olympics, but I just had to repost this. This little gal below is so wise beyond her years.  It was 11:00 p.m. when they aired the Gold Medal Ceremony for Gabby and when she made this statement, it gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I have been sleep-deprived this week staying up late to watch the coverage from London....and staying off Social Media to prevent from coming across any 'spoilers'! But, it has been so worth it!



Another favorite part of the Olympic coverage that I always enjoy watching is the stories behind the Athletes that are taped prior to competition. I love seeing where they come from, how they were raised, their cultures, and how they trained in their particular sport to become an Olympic Athlete.

I couldn't help but notice a good handful of kids' at the pool just this last week sporting shiny new Speedo swim caps. It really does clarify that our youth really are 'sponges' and pay attention to the world around them! What great role models that have been streaming through our computers and coming across the air waves through our TV's this week! I have even caught the boys' making comments about the swimmers and stopping just a moment longer when Jeff and I are yelling at the TV cheering on a swimmer to 'Go, go go! Get to the wall!'

Another one of my favorite Athletes is Missy Franklin for the USA Swim Team. What character to turn down endorsements so that you can still swim on your High School Swim Team?!? Awesome!!!

The USA Swim Team also made a You Tube video that I think is so adorable too! Enjoy! Go Team USA!
