Family Fun Night

Go Oilers! Ty has been wanting to go to a hockey game. A game finally came up that started early enough in the evening where we could go without wrecking the kids bedtimes. Had great seats - three rows up from almost center ice and boy, oh boy did we have fun!!! Ty and Laci loved all the hockey action, the music and all the freebie activities. Ty and I were lucky enough to catch a ball they threw from the ice for a lottery win (didn't win the prize - but did catch the ball!). Laci, however, was the big winner! A man with a camera came down and kept filming her, we didn't know why until a little later when the cheerleader came down and said "She, won!". Won, what we said....she was the cutest little kid on the kid cam on the big screen winning a free Build-a-Bear gift card! Then, during play one of the Oilers threw Jason a puck to give to Ty! Ty and Laci thought that was so cool and so cooold!!! We got a little restless about 30 minutes before the game ended but we had the whole row to ourselves so they were able to get up and walk around. And, lastly.....the Oilers didn't win - but the Martin family felt like we hit the jackpot! What a fun night!






Yum...dippin dots!

ArenaCross!!!

Okay....I've been doing my chores this morning and after making the bed in the front room (where the computer is) and was thinking about what I should work on next. I basically told myself I wasn't in the mood to clean toilets or vaccum and I can't snack (watching my weight for the wedding) SO.....I realized I haven't posted anything lately.....I chose the last folder that I updated pictures to and wa-la....Arena Cross!

I must say I really enjoyed myself....It wasn't too loud and the kids were a hoot to watch! Ty was not feeling his best, but he mustered up enough energy to have fun. And, our little Laci....she loved every moment! The motorcycles, the cheetos, dippin dots - the works!!! She must have gotten up and down a million times. In Daddy's lap, Mommy's lap, Aunt Beth's lap, relished being in her own seat, messing with Ty, studying all the people around us.... headphones on, headphones off....oooing and ahhhing at everything! Then Ty wanted dippin dots....Sissy had to have some too and when they dropped on the floor she didn't hesitate to take her napkin and clean the floor! Aunt Beth, so nicely leaned over told me what was happening and said that she was my daughter totally - through and through! It's funny sometimes you don't notice yourself sometimes in your children until someone points it out and boy, is she right! I just hope they pick up on the good stuff not all the not-so-good stuff!

Anyhoo....all fun must end and we did stay til the end!


Ready!
Here Sissy...I'll protect your ears!

Cheesy mouth!

Ty and Aunt Beth!

Motorcycles jump so high!

So cute!!!
