A "blustery"day here.

Do I post about the weather too much?
Seriously folks it is 37 degrees today, I have seen some flurries, but the WIND is incredible!

If you are wondering how Zack did last night you can check it out here. Not such a banner night for distance but we expected as much (apparently, I wasn't told that until after the meet). Coach Brandon has been "breaking him down" so that he will be able to peak at the end of the season. I am not sure what that means but that is what my hubby told me so I thought I would include it in case any of you can figure that statement out. With all the weight lifting Zack has been doing he hasn't be throwing much and so hubby didn't expect to see a big toss out of him.
Can I shock y'all with how much my baby can lift? Maybe you won't know what a big deal this is unless you ask your own hubbies for a reference point of what most guys can lift but here goes... Zack can bench press 385#, he can box squat 550#, he can hang cling/military press above head 250#, and full squat 500#. Go ahead and ask your hubbies what they could lift in HS and then tell them Zack just turned 17. I love to see peoples reactions but it is a crazy amount of weight. Good thing Zack understands it is all a God given gift.

Hanging on to the roof!

Smiles!

You are right, Jennifer, I don't understand any of those numbers, but I am not surprised at them. Your Zack is a big guy and he is all muscle! You better be nice to him!!!

I think he meant "PEAK at the end of the season" instead of PEEK at the end of the season. As in make himself look better at the end by not doing as good now. That is my impression of that anways. :)

How can we not talk about the weather?!?!??? It's been CRAZY!

This winter has just been too long. We better have a fantastic summer. :)

That is great for Zach. Awesome!

So, if we have a lot of snow in the winter, does that mean we will have a rainy summer?

As far as the wind goes...we had a couple of those really windy days here too. It does that a lot down here though!
