Does it run in the family?

Last night was the program at school for 1st and 2nd graders. It was a circus theme with clowns, monkeys, tigers, elephants, etc. Wesley's class was elephants and performed with hula hoops. After the class all did it together, Wesley went over and did 3 at the same time.

Melinda Dransfield was sitting behind me and asked, "Do you practice that at Family Home Evening?" Last year, I hula hooped for the Primary talent show. Wesley learned to hula hoop after we went to a party that there were some hoops at and he tried all night to learn how. I bought some and it was fun to watch him learn. When I was little, I would hula hoop on the driveway while reading. I used to be able to make the hoop go up to my neck, down to my knees and then back to my hips. My body is a different shape now and it's definitely not something I've kept up with. Maybe it should be my new workout?!?

I'm a Winner!

I got a fun phone call today. "You won tickets to Tuesday's Rockies game!" See, 850 KOA is having a contest to win the stuff the Rockies gave away at the opening home stand commemorating their National League Championship last year. Here's a picture of the "loot."

We actually went to the game where they gave out the poster, but it's fun to have the other stuff, too. They also were giving away a replica trophy, but that game was postponed to June because of a snow storm, so I will get that later (as well as tickets to the make-up game).

This is actually the 3rd time I've won with KOA. I won tickets to Rockies Opening Day last year and then won $850 as a "consultant." My mom won tickets to an Ice Capades show from KOA when I was little, too.

P.S. I need someone to tell me how to make the picture "clickable" to a bigger image...

Should I stay or should I go?

I'm still trying to decide if I can/should do a blog. I'm sure I won't post very often and make people frustrated! Check back again and see what happens...
