I'm Famous, I'm Famous!!!

Nashville Predators vs. Minnisota Wild (booo!!!!)
Evans' first National Hockey League game with the greatest team on Earth! The Nashvilllllllle Predators! Let's just say, it WON'T be his last game...
This is my friend Holly, she is a Predators Dancer who is kind and beautiful. I used to work with her at Tangerine but we now both work elsewhere. Luckily we've kept a friendship. We were sooo happy we got to see her! Always a treat. Can't wait to see you next time Holly (evan thought you were really cute ;) lol)!

me me me me me me. ahem... "Oh...Say Can You See..."

pooped.
enjoying the view...
Proud father.
"Daddy? Why don't we come here Every day?"
A family in the right place. Go Preds!

So we went as a family to the Nashville Predators Game and guess who got on the "Jumbo Tron" for being soooo cute!? Michael even took a picture of the video guy filming Evan and I. He got me a moment too late from looking into the camera apparently. It was fun as always. Evan was of COURSE a Hit! Everyone loved him around us and he was very good, didn't even care about all the cheering and noises. We'll be back Preds. Thank you Uncle Matt for the Supercool Predators outfit, pretty soon, it'll fit into it perfectly. ;) Thank you Walmart for the Santa Hat accessory.
p.s. Preds won, One to Zero.

Thanksgiving in Gulf Shores Alabama

Getting ready to leave from our house. Saying goodbye to the pets and feeding Evan for the LONG drive. You can see Smokey and Oliver want to come too! Wish we could take them but they had awesome babysitters. ;)




Evan's first time to a beach. We got there around 8pm and just HAD to go out right away! It was a lot of fun. Thank you Grandma Jennie and Papa George for letting us come to Gulf Shores a


getting ready for the beach the next morning, it was windy still.
