The story I wrote for the Mammoth tickets won! We are going to meet the Mammoth Sunday night!! We are so excited. I will be sure to post pics when we get back! I can not believe it! As you can see Katie is very excited. Go Mammoth!

My Mammoth Baby

This is a story I wrote this week to win tickets to Sunday's Mammoth game. I will find out today if we won or not. Wish us luck!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Our daughter was a Mammoth fan from the very start. Her dad and I went to our first Mammoth game on Valentine's Day 2003, three and a half months before Katie was born. Starting with that game and every other game for the rest of the season, she would kick wildly whenever the Mammoth were behind. As long as the Mammoth were leading though, I didn't feel her move at all. She was only upset when they were losing.

The next season was great! The Mammoth games were the only place we could take Katie and not have to worry about her crying and disturbing others. The loud noises didn't bother her and she even learned to clap. We could all go out as a family and watch our favorite team.

Last season her little brother TJ was born just a couple games into the season, but Katie was still able to make most of the games. She perfected her clapping skills, but she only seemed to clap after everyone else had stopped.

This season Katie is2 and big enough to need her own seat. So, Katie has not yet been to a game this season. I am sure she would love to take her little brother and her stuffed Wooly to a game.

Lacrosse is great for the whole family, from family priced seating, to Wooly, to the Wild Bunch, to Willie B, to Head Coach Gary Gait, to ALL the amazing players on the Mammoth, what's not to love about the Mammoth? Lacrosse is a fast-paced game sure to entertain the whole family, but best of all the Mammoth are the best team in Lacrosse (according to this Mammoth fan's momma.) This is why we are hoping to win a family four pack, so we can take Katie, the Mammoth fan from before birth, and her brother to a great family event.

Thank you

Thank you all for your kind words. It has been a hard week, but we are getting by. A special thanks to everyone who came to be with me this week so I wouldn't be alone. You all have a special place in my heart. Becca I really don't know what we would have done if you weren't there. A special thank you to the Drs and Techs at Deer Creek Animal Hospital, thanks for trying and being there when we needed you. Some days are harder than others, but with all the love and support everyone has shown I know we will make it through this rough spot.

Going to the theatre with kids

Who says your days of going to the theatre has to end when you have kids? I am going to take the kids to Sesame Street Live in May. I can not wait to see the look on Katie's face when shs sees Elmo LIVE! I was a little upset that I had to buy a seat for TJ too, usually they can lap it til 2. Oh well. They are pretty good seats on the floor center. It is going to be a the Denver Colesium, Pepsi Center is better since you can ride the train, plus you have to pay for parking up there. Oh well, I still can not wait. I hope it is good!

Poll results

Only one person knew I play... the piano... the guitar... and ... the... flute. The popular anwser was piano, guitar and sax. Although, I love sax music and SCOTT has a sax, I don't play. Piano is pretty obvious if you have ever been here since you can't really hide a piano, and dad has been teaching me guitar since I was very little. The flute is the tricky one since I don't play often or well.

Next poll. I have noticed at the time of this post I have gotten 616 hits. Just wondering who the heck you are, because I only know 16 people. Just curious!

PS- The green is for March. St Patty's Day and all.

My little girl

She is so sweet I thought she deserved equal air time as her brother. I know she is going to go blind that close to the tv... really, I think it will be ok. She was very excited about the gym daycare today (when she got out) because they had icecream for snack. Just what every 2 year old needs at 9:30 am.

They are so sweet... when they are sleeping.

Walking boy

It is true! TJ is getting to be a good little walker. I am so proud of him! He is getting so big so fast. I am having a great time with this new camera. Although, he has gotten more independent with learning to walk and all, he is turning into being a needy boy. He doesn't like to be left in the nursery at church or the gym anymore. I think he will get over it quickly though. He seems to calm down pretty quick. I think it is just a little harder for kids that are home with mom or dad all the time, but they learn to cope.There he goes.

My love bug

Isn't this a great pic? Our new camera does these boarders automatically. Sure I can do them on the computer after the pic is loaded up, but I want to play with all the gadgets. Anyway, Mr. Scott is fishing with his boyfriend Mr. Chuck today. Apparetly, they do not know that winter is not for fishing it is for skiing. SUMMER is for fishing. Not only are they fishing, they are FLY fishing. Wadding in the freezing water is not my idea of a good time. Anyway, I am sure they are having a ball. As long as I don't have to clean or eat anything they bring home, it's all good.

My new Camera

My new camera came last night. So far I am very happy with it. It takes underwater pictures, macro-pictures, self pictures, candle light, fireworks, it even has a self timer. It is going to work out great I think. I still want to get a SLR, but for right now it looks like this camera is going to take care of all our photograpgy needs. Plus it is not going to be as much to lug around as the last one.
Enjoy the pictures! I will be getting more up shortly!

New pictures coming soon

I finally got a camera ordered today. It should be here later this week and I will finally have new pictures up. Not having a camera has driven me up the wall. I am glad I will have one soon. Look for new pictures in the coming days!

Lent

So, I was doing laundry the other day and I emptied the lent trap for the first time in months and OH MY! . . . just kidding!
Seriously, I love Lent! Well, the first few weeks. By the end I am dying (and usually cheating here and there). I went for the usual no tv with a no computer games kicker (I think I have been playing to much poker!) I was reminded last night that I did sweets last year, I have no recolection of that. I had a newbor though, I remeber very little from then. The kids went to Ash Wednesday services with us last night. We walked in and it was all somberly lite and everyone was quiet and Katie walks in and says "BECCA!" Everyone laughed and her feelings were quite hurt. She made it through the whole service though. TJ ended up in the nursery; he just likes to move too much. Speaking of the boy, he was doing some power walking this morning. He walked all the way across the livingroom, got up and came back. He was even practicing standing with out pulling up on something. He is turning into such a little guy.
