Colorado Rockies Game Opener

Eric was able to have a wonderful experience going to the Rockies game.  He, along with a group of co-workers, were asked to hold the American flag on the field for the opening game of the season.  What a great experience he had.  Besides the joy of watching sports for Eric, the pride  that came from representing his country by holding the flag was spectacular.  

The Rockies went on to win the game.  Eric was able to see wonderful sights of downtown Denver and wonderful sights inside the ball park.

Ice Skating Fun...

After spending the winter season watching several hockey games, going to see Princesses on Ice, and helping dad shop for hockey skates, Savannah was ready to try Ice Skating.  Spring break was the perfect opportunity for us to go.  No school for Alex and no work for Dad.  (Emily went to Florida with her mom).  

After a few attempts we finally found skates that would fit on Savannah chubby feet.  With her helmet on she was ready to conquer the world...or skate like a princess what ever happens first.

She held on to dads hand and made realized this is very strange.  Its a lot harder than it appears.

She finished up the first round with dad carrying her and we thought for sure she was ready to go home.  To our surprise she was persistent and kept trying.  She would have to sit and take a break after each time around, but for her it was just as fun sitting where the hockey boys sit.  While she took a break Alex and Dad enjoyed racing each other around the ice. 

"Daddy please don't let me go"

"look mommy I'm skating"

The race is on...

Alex make a fast break

You can never get enough of these two...so much alike in so many ways

This is Savannah skating just like princess Ariel

Savannah & Mommy Date Night

It was a mommy and daughter date night...Princesses on Ice.  The even was to be spent dressed up like a princess with some friends.  Before going to princesses on Ice she didn't really have a great love for them.  This was the night that changed it all.  She loved getting dressed up and was excited about her shoes, hair gloves, and dress.

She was even more excited to spend the evening with friends.  Gracie and Cassidy would become Savannah's instant best friends.

She loved every minute of it.  By the end of the evening she decided that Ariel was her favorite princess of all.  She loved most of all to watch them skate like her hockey boys and even wanted to be their team.
