Disney on Ice

While Tanya and I played at the Seahawks game David and Jordan took some of the nieces and nephews to Disney on Ice Toy Story at the Showare Center in Kent. The kids and I used to go to Toy Story every single year and not until they were old enough to really protest did that tradition stop, sadly. Everyone got dressed up in their Disney best!

And off they went....

Got their toys...

And their snow cones...

Ready for the show...

And a little Mickey D's afterwards and I'd say that was the perfect kind of day! I'll bet they all would agree!

Student of the Quarter!!!!

Jordan got student of the first quarter for 8th grade reading/writing class

Brat.

So I squeezed him super hard.

Rude!!!!

All the sudden lettuce came flying from above....

Thugs! I tell ya!

Seahawkas Pre game

Tanya and I rode the train down from Kent. So much quicker, cheaper and no dealing with traffic but mom and dad drove down this time so we waited for them to get there. We wandered around, bought some kettle korn, walked through the expo hall, etc... took pictures of ourselves. I had to take like 5 on my cell phone to get myself even in the picture! Not so good at cell phone self portraits but I got my camera down pretty good.

Watched a little Blue Thunder. Just love them.

Seahawks game vs. Ravens

Seahawks coming out.

I always love their big flag. And every military branch was represented on the field.

They went to a lot of orchestration to do a tribute to the Veterans. They placed cards in different colors on the back of people's seats with instructions and all at once you held them up and it spelled out Thank You Veterans. It was prior to the game so the stadium wasn't completely full but you could still read it. It was pretty neat.

Fly over by some kind of humongous military plane!

Half time show!!!!!

Seriously!?! One of the best half time shows ever! Ha! Weiner dog races! Those cute little dogs were running all over everywhere! Tanya has a weiner dog (Rocky, a silver dapple dachshund)

Kentwood Playoff game

Thankfully Friday was a holiday. We traveled to Vancouver for the playoff game. The weather was crappy and it took us 3 hours to drive there in traffic. Thankfully the weather let up a little bit for the actual game, but it was cooold and wet. Their bleachers were old wooden bleachers, not too high and not covered. So was thankful for the reprieve.

In the end we lost 7 to 34. Very proud of our boys. But it was a weird feeling knowing this was the last time Anthony would be suited up in a Kentwood uniform playing football. The boys have a love/hate relationship with it but Anth was actually disappointed he didn't have to go to practice today. What a fun 4 years this has been. I love those boys. They are just great kids and played with so much heart. I am excited to support Jordan this summer and he begins his Kentwood football journey! It will be weird for Anth not to give up his summer doing football stuff. but...Jordan will be :-)

I was a lot more emotional than I thought I'd be...
