Olympics…around here

i don’t know about your family, but our’s is in full on Olympic mode over here!!

it kinda started back in April with the Boy’s Olympics B-day party, which just got us super excited for London 2012 to finally get here. and since its arrival, its added so much excitement to our house!

i was down at the beach doing a photo shoot the other day, and the kiddos tagged along. i glanced over and just happened to catch them right in the middle of performing their own opening ceremonies:

and then they came out one morning decked out in USA unis. they coordinated this all by themselves:

is it odd that we just have all that USA stuff lying around? but i’m happy that those Olympic tshirts are getting lots of use around here!

apparently these are their “game faces:”

synchronized diving is one of their favorite events. after watching the USA women take silver in the event, my crazies attempted to make up their own dives:

(don’t pay any attention to the fact that Canaan has outgrown all his PJ pants…or the fact that he’s wearing Bella’s shirt. whatever works!)

i caught Canaan in full on googles the other day, attempting to dive into the pool that has apparently crept its way into our living room, cause i have often over the last few days seen little swimmers practicing their strokes all over my floor:

i guess he was accepting his gold medal here:

Canaan is BEGGING me to send this to London so the newscasters can give this to Lochte when they interview him. i can’t quite explain to him that that is much easier said then done.

(and if you are, like me, wondering what is around Lochte’s head…its his swim cap. just thought i’d clear up any confusion

Ping pong has also been a favorite. they attempt to recreate the way the Olympians serve. its quite funny to watch, and if i were tech savvy, i’d show you a video of the Bug doing her best to be a professional ping pong player. its quite funny.

sometimes i catch them just sitting quietly, watching the events…

until the USA does something amazing and the quiet is no longer!

i took a little time off from editing vacation photos to finish up some photos from some shoots that i’ve recently done. oh….and i’m pretty sure i’d be lying if i told you that i wasn’t absorbed in these Olympic games too! so when the pics are all finished, i’ll be sure to share!

go Team USA!!!
