Just a mom raising The Boy (adopted from Guatemala) along with my fabulous husband (MFH). I am a shoe whore, especially of the high heeled variety. Hence, the nickname.

Going 4 Gold

From the Parade of Athletes at the Opening Ceremonies, to the medals presentation after the last game....the 2008 Big.Sky.State.Games were a success!











The team minus one - there was a wild fire in the area and his home was evacuated so he was unable to make the parade.












We registered The Boy as a goalie, and because several teams entered without a goalie, they had the option of asking The Boy to play for them. He played three games in a row, two for his team and one for another team. In his fourth game, playing for an opposing team, he dropped down to block a shot and was unable to get back up, so we pulled him. After a rest and some sugar, he was able to finish the day.

Making a save!




He ended up medaling twice - his registered team took third place and got the bronze.

He goalied in the championship game for an opposing team and they won, so he took a gold medal with them.


Way to go!

    What a handsome, handsome boy -- and he's learning the true meaning of sportsmanship!
