State Tournament

Kyle is fortunate to have his birthday fall during state tournament. Single handedly the best 3 days of his life. When I was pregnant and on bed rest for him, days away from delivery, Ron left me home alone to go to state tournament so Kyle was destined to love it too. Non-stop basketball games and hotel tag with his friends and a diet of donatos and dippin dots, who could ask for anything more?

As I have "blogged" before, I stalk people who I consider famous. Between games on Friday Bob Huggins was in St Johns parking lot so I shamelessly asked for a picture then I couldn't get him off me. you see when I lived in Columbus I worked at an office who's office supply salesman was no other than Larry Huggins (Bob's younger and much cuter brother). I ,of course, used that I knew Larry to get the picture and then we were instant BFF's. He invited me to Larry's camper that was parked at the Holiday Inn for a party that I graciously declined. It's not that I didn't want to see Larry I just didn't want to go with Mr Hands. I just want the picture to put on my facebook.

The St Mary's Royals

Over the weekend we traveled to Columbus for an all St Mary's Catholic Church tournament. It was only St Mary's named churches in the state. There were 9 teams from all over. It was a 7th and 8th grade tournament but the majority was 8th. Our team lost both games and didn't advance but it was fun. We competed. Kyle knew one of the boys from the Cincinnati squad from his Moeller basketball camp. The kid was amazing and almost dunked it on a fast break. Dr Bidlack brought his Buckeye RV and between games we tailgated -complete with cornhole. The tournament was at the St Mary's church in German Village. The highlight of the weekend though came with my quest to stalk Buckeye athletes when... we were at the hotel pool and Ron struck up a conversation with a women (he says she started talking to him first) who was asking about the Buckeye RV in the parking lot (Dr Bidlacks) when he found out who it was is when I got involved... Beanie's mom was in town for a NFL scouting session at Ohio State! We became instant BFF's... (sorry Jill) she is hoping he gets drafted for Jacksonville, the NFL told her they prefer if the parents move with the athletes who are under 21. She gave us a "Beanie Wells T-shirt". and I couldn't figure out that damn cell phone camera and didn't get a picture. I needed Katie. I told her to have Beanie call me. I'll let ya know how that turns out.

Happy New Year!

Spent the end of 2008 in Columbus with some good friends and the Ohio State Buckeye Basketball team. We had a great time as usual and it was a great game. Almost everyone made it on the jumbotron. The kids had a blast with hotel tag and the Drury didn't eject them. Life lesson= it doesnt hurt to have a scalpers number in your speed dial.

I stalk people...

... the latest, Ryan Hamby.

I met him at an OSU v MICH party. I'm trying to get him to move to Van Wert. If you know of anyone (besides myself) that I can hook him up with please let me know... although we do look cute together? for some reason he was surprised to hear that I have facebook. Is that weird? doesn't everyone?

I haven't been blogging lately. been busy with everything. basketball is started and I love it. I have a new years date with William Buford. Can't wait to see him light up the court at the Schott. And that dreaded holiday Christmas -- soo much work goes into that one day. ugg.
