I don't understand the mentality out there today that we should always make sure that everyone is rewarded. Personally, if my kids works their behinds off to achieve an excellent position, I do not want that watered down by kids getting a certificate just for showing up! This is life people! We are not always going to win and I can guarantee that - no matter how good you are at something - there is someone somewhere in this world that is better at it than you. That is just a fact of life! Now, that so doesn't stop me from being a very competitive person but I do try to act with a modicum of grace regardless of what place I finish. At our house though it is harder to show that grace when you have just beat the pants off your teenager who thinks you are "so lame". I guess I need to work on that using your family as an example. Good job Sherra!

I would make a big one, in my case, to remind me of the good times during the "all too frequent" bad ones! It made me smile...and again, does that "father" ever take a bad photo? I hate people like him!!! :) Sherra-the picture of “PhilBillPaul” and the “Grunter” is beyond sweet, and totally cute.

Did anyone else notice? OMG! I thought he was winning and gloating! Just kidding, Sherra! I love bowling too, I actually took a PE class focused on Bowling. Every Friday in high school they would put us on a bus and take us to the bowling alley - we could buy the food, and a coke (which wasn't allowed back in those days in the cafeteria), and have fun bowling for about 30 min or so before going back to classes. What a blast! Everyone in your family looks great! Okay – THE GRUNTER SMILED!? Did anyone else notice? OMG! I thought he was winning and gloating! Just kidding, Sherra!
