Rick Pictures (2 years old)

Here are some pictures of Rick, as a two year old.

Messily eating a popsicle at the zoo. He was one hot mess after eating a popsicle, or shall I say, licking it while it melted in his hands.

Waking up with crazy hair.

Anika's Little League Season

During Anika's little league baseball games this season, Ricky kept attempting to sit on the bench and put on batting helmet just like his big sister.

Playing footy for the first time with the Milwaukee Bombers

I scored 1 goal (worth 6 points) playing footy for the first time on Saturday with the Milwaukee Bombers (Australian rules football team) who came to Madison for a metro game.

I had a blast playing and getting to know everyone.  Footy, another name for Australian rules football, is a very fast-paced game where the ball can be kicked or punched forward and has some of the hitting you see in rugby/American football.

Although I must admit I was pretty tired and sunburnt that night and quite sore the next two mornings.  I knew I was out-of-shape, but I didn't realize how much I was out-of-shape.

Thanks to Doren, Paul, Cory and the rest of the crew for teaching me the ropes and taking it easy on a newbie!

The Bombers plan to have another metro game in Madison in August, if anyone is interested in playing, no experience required.
