Welcome to the Gun Show

Angela, Jack, Levi and I were in the car this morning, driving to see Lily Kate at her "awards day" at the Infinity Sports camp she's been attending this week. Out of the blue, Levi said, "I check on my muscles every day."

"How are they today?" Angela asked.

"Fine," he replied. After a pause, he said, "I name them. Do you want to know their names?"

"Of course," Angela said.

"Strong and Buddy."

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Strong and Buddy.



Tomorrow, Angela says she will be showing you her biceps, too: Helga and Broomhilda.

The only thing that comforts me about Jackson getting older is the thought that he might be as entertaining as your kids. I hope y'all, especially Strong and Buddy, have a great weekend!

What is it about little boys and their muscles -LOL
My 2 boys constantly check their muscles and entice their dad and I to say many "WOW's" and "Look at those big boys!!"
It cracks me up

I am not sure that my 2 have named their muscles yet - let me ask...

Ok after asking my 8yr old says he has "power and power 2"
Cole my 4 yr old has "sword and laser"
Well, there you have it I guess boys do name their muscles - hehe

Enjoy your weekend :)

I have this EXACT photo of my 6 year old, Zach!!There is something about a little boy showing his muscles...every time Zach drinks milk, I have to check and see how much bigger his muscles are!

At the risk of sounding inappropriate, I thought Angela's muscles were named "Freakin" and "Hot"!

You have been on a roll today, haven't you? I just hope Angela holds you down and tickles you 'til you can't breathe with Helga and Broomhilda. :)

Y'all have a great weekend!
