Olympic Letters

Read below if you want a good laugh for the day :)
- Thanks Lindi!

***Dear Kobe Bryant:
Seriously? You speak Spanish and Italian? How? Where? Why?

***Dear NBC:
Thank you for showing all two hours and twenty-seven minutes of the women's marathon. I think that is the first time that has happened. Ever. In the entire universe. Yes, I did fast-forward through parts, but I appreciate your effort nonetheless.

***Dear Tyson Gay:
I hurt my hamstring once too, so I know how you feel. Given, I wasn't performing at the Olympics, being an actual contender for a medal ... but I just didn't want you to feel like you were alone ... and clearly you're not because our hamstring injuries are so similar.P.S. I bet you have good come backs when people make fun of your name.

***Dear Usain Bolt:
Things I can do under 9.69 seconds ... Scratch my head, blink my eyes, swallow a piece of gum, and push the scan button in my car. You on the other hand, you ... you jog your way to a WORLD record. Congratulations.P.s. You're tall and you celebrated a little too early.

***Dear Dara Torres:
That was nice of you to wait for the swimmer who had a swimsuit malfunction. You're 41 and have been in 5 Olympics. I don't need to say more.

.***Dear Deana Kastor:
Never in my life have I ever heard more poetic words than what you said before your marathon, "The human body was not meant to run 26.2 miles."

***Dear Michael Phelps:
Michael, Michael, Michael. On behalf of the entire world, I would like to thank you for not shaving your eyebrows to become more aerodynamic. And, I want to add you as a friend on Facebook, but I won't because i heard 7,600 people already did.P.s. You have earned more Olympic gold medals in the past week than every country except the United States, China, Great Britain, and Germany.P.P.S. You are a robot and you were made in the same factory as Shawn White. Both Amazing!

Sincerely,

Alicia P. Yarger

Happy Birthday Brittney!

We celebrated Brittney's 11th birthday on Saturday, August 9th in sunny Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Brittney's aunt held the event at her house. Jesse and I had a wonderful time! :)

This was right after the water balloon toss that Jesse and I won! What a team!


Brittney and her cousin


I won a puzzle and Jesse won an airplane that you can catapult in to the air. As soon as Jesse opened the package he shot that baby WAY up up and away... in to the neighbors backyard. The neighbor happened to have a MEAN and LARGE Rottweiler dog. The next half hour was spent devising plans on how we could retrieve Jesse's prize. Next thing I know my brave husband jumps over the wall, grabs the plane, and bounds back over to our side with the ferocious dog at his heels. I was really worried we'd be spending the weekend at the hospital. Everyone thought Jesse was a hero... and a little crazy out of his mind!


Blowing out the candles... birthday wishes!
