"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is [Sarah Dalpiaz]! I'm proud to say I'm 50 years old! I'm not one of those gals who's afraid to hide her age... and I like to kick, stretch, and kick!"

My boys make wonderful graphic art for me!

Oliver had an amazing game on my 50th birthday!

He scored 22 points, and his team scored 60 for the win!

He made a 3-pointer to tie the game and get to 20 points.
