Olympic Moments..

19 Go Team Pancakes!
Good Morning Friends...
Mr. Pancakes saw how sad i was not being able to watch the Olympics...
so he went and got me this contraption that allows 
us to have regular channel without dealing 
with the dreaded cheating and conniving Cable companies.
I TRULY love my man!!

That being said, i have enjoyed many Olympic moments thus far this weekend.
And i've been in awe of the athleticism...how the athletes push their bodies to the max..it's incredible.
I am also loving all the amazing stories of the athletes working hard to realize their dream.
It's quite emotional if you watch it long enough...

My favorite moments thus far include:

Golden Girl Gabby Douglas
Amazing that at such a young age, she knew what she wanted, 
she dedicated herself to her craft and is enjoying success at the highest level.  
And she seems to have the best kind of positive attitude!


Oscar Pistorius
I think it's pretty amazing that he is defying the idea 
that a person's limitations (double amputee) has to prevent them from doing what they love.
He qualified for the 400meters!
Plus he is a cutie pootie with an awesome ascent!

Serena Williams
She was so excited to win the Gold...
she was having fun out there like a little girl!
You could definitely tell winning thnis meant a lot of her.


Jessica Ennis
I had no idea what a hepthalon was until last night...
but British Athlete did her thing by winning in high fashion.
And her abs...this will be my abs once this baby comes out.
I can dream right?!



Michael Phelps



The most decorated Olympian...who wins 22 medals, 18 of them gold?
He has made many memorial memories.
Baby Pancakes is definitely getting into the swimming pool soon as he is old enough!



Question of the Day:
What has been your favorite Olympic moments thus far?

My condolences go out to the families and friends of those involved in the 
Wisconsin Sikh Temple shooting.
So much hatred in our world despite all the positivity that is coming out of the Olympics.
Smile at someone today...

If I Could...be an Olympian!

16 Go Team Pancakes!
Happy Tuesday!!!
Can't wait until Saturday...i need to sleep in just a little.
I am getting black eyes from lack of sleep...
Not the new mother glow i have been going for...

Anyway, am i the only one excited about the Olympics?!
There is something magical about an event that occurs every four years,
which encourages athletes to train and dream all their lives in order to compete!
I just think it's one of the best expressions of passion out there!




So today in IF I Could...
i wanted to ask what kind of Olympian would you be?


I would definitely be two kinds of Olympians:

GYMNAST
Via

Track & Field Star

Allyson Felix 100m 200m track and field
Via


I truly believe i would be an awesome gymnast because of my height
and great track and field athlete
because i think it's just amazing to be able to run that fast and strong!!
But seriously, wishing all the Olympians much success starting 7/27/12.


Now, it's your turn to be an Olympian...
IF I Could be an Olympian...which one would it be?
