Mark found this deal for some cheap tickets for the Portland Winterhawks hockey game. How could we pass it up, especially when free hats were included?! We were worried our kids would get bored and not want to stay but when 9:30PM rolled around and we still had one period left, we couldn't pull them away. The third period was most exciting so it was well worth the really late night (we had 9:00AM church the next day). This kid in front of us kept yelling "fight, fight, fight" each time a little fight broke out. I thought all the slamming into glass was fight enough. I might add I fully enjoyed this slamming into the glass. It made me smile inside...I mean how often do you get to witness this good clean fun. I was in for a rude awakening when a real fight between two players broke out. I had no idea the refs would let these guys go at it with their fists until they went to the ground. I could have done without that part (it was Mark's favorite). The funny thing is, this kid who kept chanting for a fight wasn't there. Anyway, if you have never seen a hockey game in person, you must add it to your list of things to do. It was amazingly fun!
FUN!!! I totally agree--if you have never seen a hockey game, you should. I've found the closer you get to Canada, the bigger hockey is. Kevin grew up in Michigan and has always been a hockey fan, and it's pretty big here in NY, too. (I guess, after all, what are ya gonna do with all the ice??) Anyway, I, too, am always amazed at how long the refs stand around and let fists fly before they stop it. If the same thing happened in the NBA, the guy would get a technical! Glad you got to go. I really enjoy hockey games, too. We need to get to one now that we're New Yorkers.
I jumped out at Kenny and said "Boo". He looked startled and I asked him if I scared him. He says,"No, I just got concerned."

As we were driving in the car one day, Carley (out of the blue) says,"I know why we have ears."I ask her why and she says,"So we can hear when Jesus speaks to us."It was so sweet!
August 2007
"Of the boss of me's, you're my favorite."She said this to Mark when I was in Arizona for Harmony's wedding.
She also said the same thing about a babysitter:"Are we going to have a boss of me tonight?"
Lauren

"Bikes are pretty much evil, but I ride them because it's fun!"

"These scary decorations are kinda creeping me out."

June 2008
Lauren has a really shiny purse. The sun was shining through the window on the purse and made lights shine everywhere like a disco ball. Lauren noticed and said, "Now when we want to dance, I just need to get my purse and we will have 'boogie lights'."
February 2008
"I can tell I'm growing up because there are strings growing out of my arms."

Lauren was telling her dad about a bird she saw at a friends house. Mark asked her, "What kind of bird, what did it look like?" Lauren responded, "The ones with a beak."

Carley asked Lauren to play "hot lava" with her. Lauren responded,"I don't like hot. Let's play warm lava instead."

"You fuddy duddy!"She said this to me while holding my face with both her hands so she could look me in the eye.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves (too bad it wasn't Olympic hockey). I must admit, the fights are my favorite part of the game:)
