Oops, sorry Jake :(
O.K. we loved the Olympics over at our house this summer...every party of it! It seemed like some nights we were glued to the TV and couldn't get away! A bit cheesy, but we felt so much love for our great country and each of us wanted to achieve our dreams. Anyway, if I were to choose, I think swimming and gymnastics were our favorites. We cheered on Nastia Luikin because she lives in Plano and because she's so darn talented. We were excited to hear she was going to be at a Kroger 8 minutes from our house today.
I took my kids out of school (questionable...I know, but the school receptionist approved & said her lips were sealed. Just for that we brought her back an autograph :) The 5 of us got lunch and waited in line. After an hour we left with 2 signed Wheaties boxes, 4 signed papers, 10 pictures and 5 smiling faces. Fun times! It was memorable for the kids AND me.
Waiting anxiously in line.

That's so cool. I would totally have done that with you. And your kids will never forget it.
I can't believe how big Taylor is! They are just adorable! And how fun. We loved the Olympics too at our house. Say hi to the kids for me.
What a neat experience! I'm sure your kids will always remember it! What a nice mom you are. :)
How COOL is that!! I would have taken my kids out of school too.
Hello McAleavy's! This message is from Colby Cole Warnock. (My husband bryan and I grew up in Plano with the McAleavey's). I saw your name on Bryan's oousin's blog (Katie Warnock Morphew) and had to peak. You have a darling family and I'm way jealous you got to see Nastia. Totally worthing missing school for.
Tell Heather hello for us. And tell Sylvia that whenever I watch my fav show "pushing dasies" and see the sychronized swimming aunts, I think of her "electrifying" sychronized swimming story!!

You guys are so lucky!! She was so fun to watch. I can't lie...I'm jealous!
I replied to your comment on my blog but not sure if it went anywhere, so I'll try it this way. So I think I have the worst memory ever. Does each kid just suck some brain cells out or what? I totally don’t remember anything about shortening cubes! Tell me more!! I totally use them and love them still but don’t remember when I showed you!!! It’s so cool to have found you! We are still here close to Mesa Dr. and McKellips in the house we built in 2000. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years since we were in that Olive ward. Do you guys live near Geoff and Andrea now? You’re in Texas right? What part? You can just send me a direct email if you want at karen.webb@cox.net so you don't have to keep posting comments.
That sounds like so much fun!! We would have totally gone with you!
Wow - what an experience. I remember them saying that she was from Texas. She's a great example of hard work for your kids. Go McAleavys!
Hey Lyss! That is so fun that you took the time to do that with your kids. They'll always remember it. If you're like me, you were probably just as excited as the kids??? Miss you!!
