Birthday Impromptu Family Bash

So it took everyone awhile to get home for dinner and cake.  Poppy Deer and Uncle Bob dodged trees coming up Route 202 and Poppy Snowmobile and I were rerouted several directions to get from there to here.  What an aftermath from a storm.  Thankfully we all made it ok.  Sarah had the boys at her house and waited it out there they were the last to arrive.  Fortunately I had picked up pizza on my way since we had no power.  I boiled water to make coffee and just before starting to make it by hand the power came on but only long enough to brew the pot then lights out again.  Not to return till the next morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAWK

    12 YEARS OLD!

Turning Twelve.

WOW, how did this happen so fast?  Hawk turns twelve in 4 days.  As if his 12th birthday isn't enough for me, he also will be experiencing "step up" day at the JR High that same day.  This just solidifies in my mind how fast these last 12 years have gone by.  I am lucky to have such a great son.  True there are many times in any given day that I wished to squash him like a bug with his constant dry and timely whit, but mostly I am just proud of the young man he is becoming.  12!  Half way to college graduation - I am not ready for this next 12 years.  After reading this to Hawk he just was kind enough to remind me that in twelve years I will be 51!  What?  Sigh!

Applees for Dinner to Support 6th Grade Rafting Field Trip

Family dinner at Applebees to support Hawk's 6th Grade class Rafting trip next month.  We had a  great time all four of us.  Hawk was very kind to share his root beer with his brother, and dessert when it came to table and Christopher decided it was his to share with the table rather than Hawk's.  What a good big brother!

PICTURE FAILURE - PLEASE BE PATIENT 

Our image backend is experiencing problems which may affect the display and/or uploading of photos. We are working to resolve this and will update this post when we have more information.

Bon Jovi @ Mohegan Sun

Thank you M and P for the concert tickets.  

Hawk and I had a really great time.  I haven't seen Hawk that impressed by a site since we came up out of the subway in NYC for the first time.  The opening band was good, Bon Jovi was great, and the encore was amazing.   I had never been to the Mohegan Sun before myself, I enjoyed the different design elements through out the space.   After the concert Hawk and I explored.  We ate a great dinner that could have fed a family of six at a BBQ Restaurant.  We enjoyed Ribs, Pulled Pork, Cheese Loaded Mash Potatoes, and Coleslaw.  Hawk enjoyed a very yummy Root Beer serve in a chilled bottle and I savored my so so coffee knowing that I still had to drive home and we still weren't ready to leave.  We visited the Arcade a few times and he watched on while I dropped a few bucks into the slots.  Hit some, lost some, oh well.  I was feeling it a bit wrong to be at the casino so late with Hawk until we saw a family including a young girl that couldn't have even have been three yet in the arcade at 1:30 AM. (Look in the picture above, Hawk Driving the Race Car and little girl cutting some rug on the dance pad.)  OK, at least I now had a scale to measure our appropriateness.  We saw many people taking naps in the car garage on our way out near 2AM in the morning . . . home just before 4AM.  What a blast. 

Head to Head

More on that when I post tomorrow night . . . preview . . . Hockey or Baseball?

Big breakfast this morning! MCAS Testing.

Pancakes, whip cream and strawberries for breakfast.  Getting ready for the MCAS State Wide Testing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Thank you to the person that bought Hawk a cap gun for Christmas.

Hawk thought it would be funny to shoot off several rounds in his room at the smoke alarm.  Little experiment . . . wondered if the smoke would set off the fire alarm . . . guess what . . . IT DID!  Dan Sr was on the phone in his office, didn't stop him, Christopher was watching a movie, didn't stop him either.  Time for a fire drill.

Hockey Play Offs

HAWK you are a HOOT!

Division Champs - Celebration on Falcons AHL Ice

Hawk on the Falcons home turf at the Mass Mutual Center

A few weeks back now Hawk and his team the Springfield Capitals faced off to WTM Hockey Org.  This picture is him giving a big "YEAH" to the phone camera during warm ups.

This Friday night his team has been invited to the Falcons Game as division champs for the season.  They will be recognized on the ice during the first period break.  Way to go CAPS!  Next we are off to the play offs!  Still waiting on the dates and times.

Also Hawk is still participating in the Greg Carter Sunday Night Clinics and now the Spring 3 on 3 Ice has begun in Greenfield.  So it's almost over but then no because it all begins again.  Soon we'll be into try outs for next year as well. Hockey camp this summer too.
