Good Times

We've had a lot of fun over the last few days catching up with all the peeps, and taking pictures, of course;

Jason Plays Hockey, with Class

Never in my life have I seen a sorer bunch of losers than a group of high school aged kids on a hockey team out of Morton, IL. They were losing 6 to 0 with around three minutes left in the game, and rather than accept that they were outplayed, decided to lash out like a bunch of common street thugs. Things started to get so out of hand that the officials decided to call the game early.

I hope the players on the Icehawks are embarrassed. Shame on you.

With that said, I'd like to congratulate our good friend Jason on his team's well earned victory, and their exemplary sportsmanship.

ISU Tailgate

One of our last tailgates of the season. We had a big crowd at this one.

Seedling Theater

Our good friend John performed once again in the Seedling Theater, and as he has in past performances, did extremely well. Many of his lines had the audience in stitches. Pictured with John are  his brother Jason, his mother Krissy, his grandmother Sandra, and his father, John Sr.

Six Flags

Last Friday we we spent the day at Six Flags in St. Louis. It was very hot, but not at all crowded. We had a great time watching the kids have a great time. I took a lot of pictures as usual, here is but a small taste of what we experienced. The kids prepare to shoot monsters on the Scooby Doo ride.

Soccer Game 4

Yesterday's game was a face off with Alex and Nick's friend Jason. It was a solid game of action, and in the end, Jason's team came out on top 4 to 1. Here are a few of the photos I captured at the game.
