I wanna drive the zamboni....

Last night we went to the Rivermen game. It was fun! Justin loves watching them skate and he actually follows the puck! He kept calling it a ball, but that seemed safer than telling him it was a puck :)



We got this from school yesterday. Rob and I laughed so hard when we saw "C.". We can just picture Justin sitting there like - yeah, so what...their fingers were in my mouth. I am not saying that I like him biting people, but this is the first report in months and I don't feel as bad since he didn't go "attack" anybody.














Mommy and her little buddy














He'll do anything for Cherry Coke :)













Grandpa Kent face!













Cheesy grin! We were right on the glass and he liked it when they skated by, but he didn't really like it when they hit the glass and fought for the puck right in front of us.


























A lot of you who read this probably know Chris Durno - he played hockey at Tech. He plays for San Antonio now, which is who the Rivermen played. We said hi after the 2nd period as he was coming off the ice, but we didn't wait to talk to him after the game because Justin was already 90 minutes past his bedtime.

There is also a guy who is at every game who had on a UP Sports Hall of Fame hat, so of course I had to talk to him (this was back in October when I first met him). He was born and raised in Hancock because his dad went to Tech. I finally met his dad last night - he is such a sweet old guy! He was captain of the MTU hockey team in 1948-1950! He has some cool stories about what Tech was like. I want to organize a Peoria area MTU alumni gathering. I talked to Mr. Burns (that makes him sound old!) and they are getting together a program to do regional alumni groups. I am going to be the contact for Central Illinois. I think it would be fun to get a section of tickets at a Rivermen game and do dinner/drinks before and then all go to the game. There are a ton of alumni in the area with CAT here, so I think we'd have a great turnout!

That's all for now - have a great day!

The alum activities sound like fun - there's a handful of Techies here as well (all work for Marathon), and Findlay plays Tech so I always think it would be cool to have everyone over for Library soup or pasties and then head to a game.

Did you tell the other kid to keep his fingers out of Justin's mouth? ;)

Noah got in trouble at day care last Monday. Since there are only 6 kids total who go there, and Monday was a holiday, I happened to be the only parent who had to work, which meant Ava and Noah were the only kids there. Apparently, Noah tormented Ava all day and had many time outs. Oops! Guess that's what little brothers are good for.

I'm with Laura on Justin's incident...hello don't let the other kid stick his fingers in anyone's mouth then!
