a renewed love....

... for rollerblading.

i have been telling trevan that i wanted rollerblades since i was pregnant with greta and i think he thought i was joking. well, here i am 2 years later with my own new rollerblades. trevan calls them "fruit boots" because i guess he thinks they are gay. whatev, they are totally awesome.

 i was a rollerblading fool in my youth. childhood friends, i know you know what i am talking about.  every weekend from the time i was about 9-12 you could find me at classic skating in orem. snowball anyone? for reals, i loved rollerblading. growing up with a gym in my basement only made my love for rollerblading even greater, even if my dad did hate us scuffing up the floor. i was also known to skate up to my dads office in alpine with friends in jr. high hoping to be scoped out in all our hotness along the alpine highway. after a long session we would all swim in my dad's pool (which we were positive we were being spied on) and then rollerblade home. so when trevan asked "did you really rollerblade?" i just look at him and grin. i lived for it and i was pretty good at it too. 

so when my "blades" came in the mail yesterday i quickly put them on and had to show trevan my skills..... unfortunately, it has been about 10 years and i have gotten a little rusty in my time off. good news is i am almost back to my professional level after only one day.

yeah.... i am good like that.

after trevan was done making fun of me because he is so cool he couldn't resist strapping my rollerblades on and trying them out for himself. 

side note.....you should know he has baby feet and fits into a women's 8 quite comfortably.

i may just get him his own pair for father's day just in spite of him. he would die. how hilarious would our family be all in rollerblades? the family that blades together stays together.

jude has his own tricks up his sleeve that he needed to show off... 

he's pretty adorable even if he does push my to limits on the hour every hour.

and here's a kiss from greta

.....

when brooke found out i got rollerblades she ran to sports authority to get her own. this morning we hit up my local park and strolled our babies along on our rollerblades. turns out we are not the young bucks we once were. even if brooke is the skinniest girl around she too was feeling the burn. all i have to say is that in about 4 weeks time if you see me around i may or may not resemble this.

  so be prepared.

i love rollerblading.

 i urge you to go out an buy a pair right now. 

totally worth it.
