Thank You Shaun White!

Last night Shaun White won Gold in the halfpipe!!! If you don't know who Shaun White is, he is an amazing snowboarder and skateboarder! He is also know as the Flying Tomato for his red hair. This guy is such a great role model for kids. He's a good guy and great athlete!





Ethan loves watching him. This morning he woke up and was talking nonstop about him winning the gold and the crazy tricks he did. He even wanted to wear one of his Shaun White t-shirts (they sell his clothing line for boys at Target) to school.



So thank you Shaun White for giving my son the dream to fly as high as the Flying Tomato!!!

  4. We moved from Denver recently and so, of course, have tons of snowboarding experience being that close to the Rockies. He's huge there.....as he should be. A great guy!

  6. Love the Flying Tomato. His skills are incredible!!! And to see how high he gets is unbelievable. I love watching snowboarders, but hate being on the mountain with them. No offense if you're a boarder. :)
