turtle.man!

You may be wondering why in the heck I named this post "turtle man!!" Well, my brother was given that nickname when he was about 2 years old because he LOVED the ninja turtles. I mean, he was obsessed!! It's the dorkiest name, but it still makes me laugh so hard that I call him turtle man (sometimes, I crack myself up. Simon gives me a hard time about this trait of mine, but sometimes I can find something so silly to be so funny)!

Anyways...now to the reason I am talking about the turtle man. On Saturday, I went to watch him run in an indoor track meet at Anderson University. Yes, he's a runner too! Kyle (which is his real name!!) ran the 3000 meter race and WON! We were all so proud of him! And guess who was there with me to cheer him on besides me and mom...YEP! You guessed it--my little girles, Claire and Lyza. I think you'll enjoy these:

Here are the 4 Anderson University guys that ran in the 3000 Meter run. They've got their "game faces" on (or should I say "running faces?") Kyle is in the center of the shot in orange (4th guy from left).

jogging up to the start line. (the turtle man is in orange with orange running spikes on)

In second place, JUST before he started to kick everyones' butts!

Miss Claire watching Uncle Kyle run:)

That's me holding Claire, and Mary (Kyle's girlfriend) on the right. I had JUST gotten my hair whacked off before the race. It's SHORT!

I love this one because she thought she was HOT stuff when Kyle put his number on her after the race. Also, you can barely tell here, but she's holding his hand!!


Lyza slept during the race. In this shot, she had just woken up. As you can tell, she is starting to cry, but I caught her with this pitiful little frown on:(

...now it's a full blown cry!

...and here she's just mortified that I'm taking this picture of her because she knows I'll end up posting this on my blog! Guess she was right!:)
