steve's 15 seconds of fame

We went to the Tribe Game last night with Bogie, Max and his two friends Ryan and Jack. It was beach night, so we broke out our hawaiian gear from Hilo Hatties Maui. The 13 year old boys thought we were pretty embarassing for dressing in beach gear. The boys sat in my dad's season ticket seats right behind home plate. Steve and I took the seats in center field. It paid off big time...

The Twins Third Baseman Buscher hit a three run homer straight to Steve in the first inning. Steve kept the ball even though the Tribe Fans booed us for not throwing it back. After the shock wore off, we walked over to where the boys were sitting. They of course did not believe us until we got home and saw the highlights on SportsCenter.

Check out the video and the funny commentator from Minnesota. It was quite a moment for Steve.

new stuff

i posted my first entry on the Work In Progress Blog today. go check out the great ideas shared by the design team.

this new paper from Rusty Pickle looks so cool. reminds me of 7th grade.

it rained today. which was actually a very good thing. steve took the boys to see Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D. i got to scrap! in the daylight hours! to top of my fantastic day, my mother brought over dinner so i didn't have to cook and we scrapped until midnight!
