                                       he can be a great boo-er especially when he stops being your friend
CYCLING - TOM  L.
                  Women's gold , silver , bronze
              I guess Tom did best when dressed in drag because in the Men's , he didn't come close.
 Maybe if he was allowed to ride with a glass of wine in his hand .. Back to riding to work only .

                  As long as Carol gets to wear a bikini and there's a beach . . . she's good . All that's
 missing is a can of beer and all bleeping sounds .
BASKETBALL - TIM
                 Both Men and Women  - gold
                     Of course , he's my grandson , so he's a winner all around .
BOXING - LUKE
                 Women's - gold , bronze
                  All that boxing with his brother did him no good since all he thought about was working on the cars but with the help of Elvis he got the gold
TRACK/FIELD - FAITH
                 Men's  3 gold , 9 silver , 3 bronze            Women's 5 gold , 4 silver , 4 bronze
                  Since she weighs only 40 lbs . and 10 years old. she blew with the wind .
FIELD HOCKEY - JUSTIN
                        no medal
                        Even though he is built for the sport , his heart is as big as the sky ! He is more interested in nature than in blocking someone .
DIVING - ELAINA
               1 Gold , 1 silver , 2 bronze
              With her father's coaching from below , she beat China . Quite an accomplishment for a 5 year old.
WRESTLING/JUDO/TAEKWONDO - HENRY
               2 Golds, 2 bronze/ gold,silver / 2 bronze
                       Since we were children , he's been jumping out dark hallways and kung fu-ing me so he should exalt in this sport .
TRIATHLON-TAMMY
                    4th place - I'm really proud of Tammy to get this far , it's quite an accomplishment for a mother of three  just to find the time to train .
ANYTHING WITH A BOAT-JOEY
           Women's Rowing- gold and bronze
                               Not sure why we placed him in  these sports except he looks good in a boat while fishing but then , if he knows what good for him , he will let his wife bring home all the medals .
TENNIS/BADMINTON/TABLE TENNIS - AUBREY
            Women's - 3 gold , Doubles bronze
            As usual , the women kicked butt , but then we are not surprised here . In our family , the women wear the pants and the men clip coupons .
ARCHERY/SHOOTING - DESTINY
      Men's  Archery-silver  , Shooting 3 gold , bronze
                    I still can't believe we gave Destiny a gun or any weapon at all , but , luckily they were blanks and everyone ducked .
FENCING - TOMMY U.
      Women's Bronze
                   Of all the sports , he sure looks the very best in his little fencing outfit  and no one can do that stance better than him .
WEIGHTLIFTING - ZOFIA
     Women's bronze
                     This is perfect for my Aunt since I have always known she was a very strong woman .
SOCCOR/HANDBALL- LOGAN
    Women's gold
                     My Godson , so I'm very partial to him as well . He has always been good at sports . Why not ? It's my blood rushing thru his veins .
EQUESTRIAN - HANNAH
       6th place
                   It's not about winning . It's about looking GREAT and she looked FABULOUS ! She got a gold in that category !
