This is ReAnn's brain child. Pudding slip n slide. Does it get better than that?! I don't think so.

Corbin may or may not have been dipping his fingers and taking a few licks of this...

MUD RUN --- YOUR MOM'S TEAM DOMINATES

Cincinnati August 2012

The most fun race I have ever done. Mud+obstacles+slides+running=Awesomeness

Seven of us headed to Cincinnati for a girls weekend and to run this race. It was so fun. And we got dirty. Really...check it out.

We got lost on the way to Cincinnati trying to stop for dinner. It was fate. We found the best place (even if it was an hour out of our way:)). They had a live band and everything.

We made Cicely go up and sing with the live band. She sang a song by Adele. Cicely rocked it. Must've been all of her past rock star experiences (she was in a band!).

We are freaking cute :)

Eating it up--breakfast before the big run

I made these super most awesome shirts of all time for our team.

This just makes me laugh. That is a real genuine outfit. So good.

YOUR MOM'S TEAM REPRESENTS!

Lunch and then shopping

Dave and the kids made me a mud pie for when I returned. So cute! It even had pretzel and marshmallow people running on the top of the mud pie. Clever.

NUMBER ONE SPEECH

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
