Ok I’m done bragging on him, just very proud!

I’ve been using his games to shoot a ton.  I think in the three games hes played, I have shot over 1000 shots.  I also have been sharing them with the other parents, and  I have been lucky enough to have people with interest in them.  I have sold 20 or so (but I am also being nice and throwing a couple in for free).  I don’t consider this a money making job, I am just happy to share my shots of the kids with the other parents.

Anyway, here you go:

The boys were pulling over rocks to see what was under them.  I decided to snap some pictures since I haven’t used the camera in at least 36 hours.  Click Me

Well, that wouldn’t stop him from lusting after his Grandmother’s Canon XTi..  I guess he get’s it honest, because I want one as well!

Basically I have let the site go, no posts, no new pictures, etc.

If you dwell  under a rock, or don’t have a TV, you may have heard that Ohio had a Blizzard this weekend.  We spent the weekend pretty much indoors with the exception of digging ourselves out, and letting the kids play in the snow for a bit.  Oh and a quick trip to the store for some laundry supplies.

Head on over to THE GALLERY for some pictures of the carnage (and of the kids enjoying themselves) .

Everyone else was busy.

Fortunately I was not. I asked how many tickets she could get and told her I would like 4 but 2 would work. She came back about 5 minutes later with 4 tickets in hand and a red parking pass.

I took a look at em and they were club level seats. In my 30 years, I have never been to any event with tickets as good as these. Called the wife up and asked her if she wanted to go.

We had plans to take the kids to the local firehouse and see Santa. Game time, 7pm. Santa time, 7pm. She was set on going up to take the kids to see Santa and then go to the game. I was kinda bumming but the kids were excited about telling him what they wanted for xmas.

In comes the father in law to talk some guy sense into her. Needless to say, I made a deal with Paxton to take him friday to see Santa and we got to go to the game on time.

Club Level seating…. It was awesome. We had a waitress, a bathroom that was 50 feet away and no lines (good for a 2 year old bladder that has to pee every 20 minutes)

Total Spent? $61 dollars on dinner and drinks. A great present from my new boss eh?

Paxton has already asked if I can get tickets again since this was his first hockey game, he definitely wants to go again. Both kids had a great time.
