Lakers Lose

We haven't had a lot of luck this season, as the Lakers lost once again while we were at the game. We went over right after the softball dinner. At least Brian got to hang out with the mascot for a little bit. We still had a lot of fun together, and Lily's friend Julia was able to come with us. This was probably the last Laker game we'll make it to for the rest of the season, but there's always next year.

Lakers Win Over Broncos

To end another very busy weekend, we watched the Lakers beat the Western Michigan Broncos 3-2. Papa was up for the game and we had a great time together as usual. Trevor got a treat and was able to stay the night in the hotel with him. Brian wouldn't stay still long enough to get a picture with him and Papa, but we'll catch him off guard sooner or later. This was the final regular season home game for the Lakers. Not sure yet if they'll host a playoff game or not. I hope so, or this will be the last we'll see of them until next October!!!

Full Hockey Game, Half the Amigos

I'm still catching up on things, so bear with me. Last weekend we celebrated Brian's birthday, but unfortunately he couldn't make it to the game with us. Neither could Trevor, as they were both sick with the flu. Poor Brian got sick right during his party. They did announce his name and birthday over the loud speaker, though, which was really cool. And the Lakers were able to hold on for a 4-3 win over Miami, so that was good, too. At least Papa could join Lily and I, as he was up for the party.

Brian And The Whale

After a busy day of bowling and football, we still had the annual Lakers Blue/White game to look forward to. It's fun to watch the team play against each other, and they let us on the ice after the game to meet the team. Brian was a little upset that he couldn't go onto the ice BEFORE the game, so he showed his displeasure by throwing his toy whale onto the ice...Lucky no one was hurt, and he even got his toy back. We decided to watch the game from seats a little higher up, after that, and they gave us free pizza and popcorn toward the end. The Blue team won on a shoot-out, and we were on the ice. Brian still has fun skating around, and we were able to mingle with some of the team.

The 'Brian' Streak Continues...

After a Laker loss a couple of weeks ago while leaving Brian at home, we knew it was crucial that he made the game last weekend. Brian and the Lakers didn't disappoint, either, with a 4-2 win. With me having to work that night and Brian being a little rambunctious, we could only stay for about half the game. His presence was enough for the victory, though. Lily and Trevor had fun also trying to keep their little bro from running all over the place. I'm thinking of changing seats so he can't run so much. The Lakers will need Brian's luck for their last home games of the season, as they take on top ranked Miami.

Lucky For Lakers

The last two weekends, and even opening night, we've been pretty lucky for the Lakers. Last weekend we watched them skate to a 1-0 win over Ferris State, and the weekend before a 3-1 victory over the hated Northern Michigan Wildcats. Brian has been having a pretty good time, but has been prone to running away and hiding in the gift shop. The fun of having a two-year-old. At least he finally built up the courage to 'high five' the mascots last game. Lily and Trevor are having fun, too, but we haven't run into many of their school friends so far this year. Next games are the first weekend in December, and hopefully Santa will be there. So far, the Lakers are undefeated when we're in attendance so we need to keep it going.
