Peoria Pirates vs. Green Bay Blizzard

Last night we went to the Civic Center for a Peoria Pirates vs. Green Bay Blizzard arena football game. We had never been to one and it was fun! Too bad tickets are so expensive, becuase Justin had a lot of fun! We splurged and got front row seats for the game...the seats were awesome and it was neat being so close, but Justin didn't like it when the players crashed into the padded boards right in front of us. It ended in tears the few times it happened :)

The game was great too! The Blizzard won 49-47....which is good because we were cheering for them! Jamie Fossitt's little brother Billy plays for them - it was good to see him! He waved at Justin a few times during the game and he thought that was pretty cool :)

Oh, and another fun note is since the Pirates fired the old coach after a 2-7 start, they recently hired coach Ho from the Chicago Rush! We met him when Rob coached football with Uncle Dave and Coach Ho was a guest speaker at the banquet. Connie and Dave have kept in touch with him since and he recently lost his job when the other arena league folded. I hope he can do good things in Peoria and bring some football excitement to the town!



Justin with some sort of mascot - not really sure...but he liked him!












Billy - I think this was right after a TD got called back for an unsportsmanlike on him....oops!













Billy again :)












And again :)

Our family with Billy on the field after the game. All was going fine and Justin was having fun running around until a couple of probably 10 year olds just smoked him - leveled him to the field. He has some rugburn on his legs. Billy offered to take care of the kids for us, but we told him to let them live :)

That was on purpose. I am the size of a house...probably won't see any more belly pics until 38 weeks or so when I'm supposed to be that big!!!!

Oh come on....the baby boy is growing :) Embrace the hugeness and show me some belly pics :) (just kidding). I think you look great!!!! I always showed my belly and cut off my face because it was the size of a basketball. Wish I had your genes :)
