Check out my Baby Girl!

Rock on, Ms. Priss! She was getting a good 5 feet up the wall before she'd roll back fakey to the other side. WooT! Before you know it she'll be dropping in all over the place and giving the boys a run for their money.

She wrote a little blog entry of her own about skateboarding. Here it is:

Skateboarding is fun.
I like skateboarding because I get to do it with my family. I can feel the breeze on my face. Skateboarding may seem hard, but it’s not always hard. If you work on it you’ll get better and better and realize it’s not so hard afterall.

Last Friday

I took the day off from work last Friday. My children had a Shakespeare festival they were acting in, so while they were at school getting ready to head down to it Dan and I longboarded around the lake. We hadn't done that in a while and it was really nice to just goooooo.

After we got back to the school from the festival I was waiting for the kids to finish up with their teachers and so I took a spin around in front of the school. The kids were amazed. I like to think that the other mom's were a little envious.

So, yeah, that was last Friday. I don't know if I'll skateboard tomorrow. My shoulder is somewhat jacked and I don't want to push it. Maybe I'll just cruise on my longboard a little.

Barefoot!

I couldn't help myself. I just had to be skating and I was in flip flops so...

That's right. I took off my sandals, stole my son's board and off I went. WoooT!

Mighty Mama's indeed!

I'm a member of a group called International Society of Skateboarding Moms™. This past weekend they had their annual Mighty Mamma Skate-O-Rama. Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but there are some fantastic media reports out there about it. I did get to skateboard at the Boulder park on Mother's Day though, so I was there in spirit. Here are the links:
