One Week Down...

A week in to the Winter Olympics! woohoo!

If you haven't been watching, then this won't make much sense.

So...exciting stuff so far!

Seth Wescott in the Snowboard Cross. AWESOME!

Apollo Ono. AWESOME! Though, I will say that the short-track relay thing is ridiculous! RIDICULOUS! If you watched that, you know what I mean. That's just really stretching for some sort of competition. Which brings us to curling. We're grateful they're not showing THAT during primetime. Really, a "sport" 90 year old women can play should not be included in the Olympics.

Poor Lindsey Jacobellis. After her crash in Torino, we were soooo pumped about her hopefully bringing home the gold this year. It was one of those moments where we almost woke up the kids again, because we were so excited watching her in the semis and then when she DQed we both gasped! Makes me sad.

Watching Lindsey Vonn bring home the gold (on men's skis!) on the downhill was awesome. Can you believe they go like 110 mph?! INSANE! Eden happened to be up watching with us that night (Olympics are a good excuse for a 9:30 bedtime, right?!) and there were so many terrible looking crashes that I probably should have covered her eyes. She was genuinely concerned every time someone faced planted into the snow.

Shaun White. That red hair. What else can you say?! Got the gold! Yet again! But we weren't expecting anything less. And he put icing on the cake with that mc-twisty-whatever. Truly impressive on the slopes and so entertaining off the slopes too. We've also decided we want Burton Snowboarding Plaid jackets like the USA team.

And the Luge. oh the Luge.

The only thing we've actually seen on tv so far that left us saying, "hmmm, what was the U.S. thinking?!" was this guy

He was pretty good! But is this all we could come up with? meh. I dunno. Just not digging the pink, glittery man-corset. We're not completely sold on ice skating, though I'll admit it's really impressive. (Ice dancing, not so much) That Evan Lysacek was absolutely incredible! And then he became 10 times more impressive in his interviews with good ole Bob Costas. Seriously, an all-American type of guy who makes you proud he's representing our country.

After one week:

woot! woot!
