Senior Night at Lacrosse

At the last home lacrosse game,
the seniors are recognized on the field during half time.

Usually they are escorted by their parents on the field,
while the announcer reads what the senior wrote.
It's information about their lacrosse career, where they are going to college and a short tribute to their parents.

The playes are wearing their home jersey and they usually give their away jersey to their mom to wear.
Hopefully it's washed!

Since Brian and I were trekking across Wyoming,
Garrett invited his younger brother, Parker and
his 14 month old cousin Mr. Chunkers to be his escorts.
Usually the escort walks the senior across the field - not vice versa.

Here is what the announcer read -
Tonight, Garrett’s favorite people are out of town. He is being escorted by his younger brother Parker and his cousin Mr. Chunkers.

He has played lacrosse since 4th grade. He played middie until sophomore year and then switched to LSM and defense.

Garrett will attend Brigham Young University in Provo starting in June and then Brigham Young University in Idaho this fall.

Off the field, Garrett likes to snowboard, play the violin, play COD, see the world, take long walks on the beach, and eat wings.

Garrett would like to thank his parents by saying, “Thank you for supporting me in doing the things I love and helping me become the person I am today.”

A GOOD time was had by all.

My brother was only able to take 73 pictures AND video the whole thing. ;)

And the Oscar For Editing Goes to the Ultrasound Technician

Best day of the week!  It's RaNDoM THouGHT TueSDaY and what could be more RaNDoM than my mind?

Go on over to Keely's - The Unmom and see some of the other randomizers!

* Did you watch the Academy Awards?
I didn't.
I read a book while it was on in the background.
I looked up to see the dresses occasionally.
That's all I care about.
I saw exactly 0 of the nominated films.
I don't get out much!


*Our whole family was dressed and out of the house by 5:45 today.  Garrett and Parker were attending the Early Morning Seminary (scripture study) class.  And Brian and I were teaching - different classes but all of us were there.  We'd all like to roll out the nap mats now!!!! 

* Last night was our first of about 30 lacrosse games this season.
To celebrate, I went out and bought 3 new pairs of long underwear.
Don't laugh.
You stand outside in the less than 40 degree weather being pelted by wind, sleet, hail and snow while taking stats for 2 1/2 hours.  I dare you!

* On the bright side,
I bought myself some of these

Last season, I borrowed a pair of Garrett's gloves.  He didn't appreciate me constantly wiping my runny nose on them. I decided to get my own pair.  My gloves have to be 1) Warm, 2) Not too thick because I have to be able to write all the stats, 3) Not chafe my nose, and 4) WASHABLE.

 So I got my own pair, but mine our furry.  They are warm and cozy and soft on my nose. ;)

* I have to turn some pictures in for a Senior program. I am supposed to turn in a baby/toddler picture, three pics of him participating in sports or something he likes when he was younger and a senior picture.  the photographer will insert recent lacrosse action shots.  Here is Garrett -

Going through the pictures made me sooooo nostalgic.

* Today is "someone's" appointment with the urologist.

I went and picked up this:

Really?  Did you think I was going to show you the contents of the envelope?
I was thinking that maybe we should gather the family around the TV for some quality time viewing the scrotal ultrasound.  But then, I decided not.   So no Oscar for the ultrasound technician because the judges didn't want to view this particular piece of art.

* Could someone out there please find me a CHEAP ticket - make that 3 cheap tickets - to Cambodia.  Please?????  I will love you forever.  I almost want this more than cupcakes.

Happy RaNDoM TueSDaY!
