2 Words...SA WEEP!

Okay so the Cubs Swept the Chicago White Sox! These are the world series moments for Cub fans...I wish and hope for the World Series to show up and of course win...but until then I will take these moments and relish them...relish as enjoy...not relish as the lime green stuff on a Chicago hot dog! These games were great as we finally took the win on some 1 run games. Our bull pen game in and did a great job. And as always the Cubs are great a making the Sportcenter highlight reel with the what the heck is going on play with DeRosa's out field hit and interference with Pagan to Pie holding at 3rd to double play to no outs with bases loaded and Ozzy complaining and getting thrown out...If that didn't make sense then you know how we all felt watching the game. Needless to say we went 5-1 for the season against the White Sox!

Also went and saw Waitress with Keri Russell and it was really good. Not good if you are on a diet though because I wanted to taste every pie she made!

Social Distortion coming up!

Chowderhead!

Oh What a Night!

Okay so we went to the Chiefs game on Saturday night. It was Legend at the Ballpark night. The Amazing Ron Santo was there. We went to the actual IPMR event and got to see him up close and here him talk. Also we were able to get his autograph and photo of him. Truly the most amazing ball player NOT in the hall of fame right now! It was a very hot night and we had hank but he did really great in the heat. The event in Pepsi Park was really nice but it is amazing how many tables hosted by corporations were empty. I know it is a tax write off for them but seriously if no one is going to use your seats you should hand them out to people who would love to be there. I know 5+ people who would of loved to have had the opportunity to meet Ron but didn't or couldn't spend the money. Really not a bad deal though. Food and Beer and wine all included for the money. It would of been even better if the place was called Coca-Cola Park but whatever! Seriously there is a difference and which ever you like better more power to ya but I am a die hard Diet Coke drinker! We registered for it as a wedding gift for goodness sakes!

so much to post ...SO LITTLE TIME!

Okay so sorry for the absentee but I got a little something extra taking up some time!
I have had tons going on so lets see if I can give you all some short recaps on "WHATS HAPPENIN!"
These are not in chronological order as my brain can't function that way!

CUBS VS. BRAVES
I took Hank and along with my parents went to to Chicago for the Cubs series against Atlanta.
Chicago was hosting a huge oncology convention so 3 weeks prior the only hotel we could get was out by O'Hare. This was not going to work. Thank goodness for the LUCK gene in our family because we got hooked up at the Westin on Michigan for quite a reasonable price!

Okay so I should back up...
My dad's best friend from high school lives in Hawaii and his son is a pitcher for Atlanta so he invited us to come see the games in Chicago and the team always stays at the Westin. So he called and told them he had family coming into town with him and he got us the room! SWEET!
Okay so we get up there and we can't check in yet because it's like 10 am so I have to feed, change and get Hank ready for the game in the lobby of the hotel! HEHEHEHE

Off to he game ...we had sweet tickets 1 section behind home plate. I just strapped Hank on me with the baby bjorn thing and he was awesome! Sleep for almost the whole game. Feed him once and changed him once but what a champ!
So this Friday game was the 1 with Zambrano and Barrett getting into fisticuffs in the dugout!
Cubs Lose!

That night I stayed in the hotel with the baby and went to bed early I was POOPED!
Mom and dad with with Tyler and his wife to this place called Rockit. I guess it's the it place to go in Chi town right now. Well they saw Rex Grossman sitting at the bar!

Saturday we went tot he game again and this game was the Pinella throw and and the fans in the Bleachers throwing trash on the Field!
ARG!!! This really pissed me off! The mentality of these "Fans" just boils my blood!
You just threw trash on WRIGLEY FIELD!!! Seriously! I digress sorry!
Cubs Lose!

That night Jim came up to meet us and we all went to eat at Ed Debevics and our guest really thought it was fun! Afterwards my mom and dad watched the baby and Jim and I went to the hotel bar had a drink and watched the final game of the Cav's and Pistons semi final!

Sunday game just Jim and I went and Mom and Dad watched the baby. This game started off Sweet! Grand Slam by Mark DeRosa. Gotta love it! We won FINALLY!!!

Mom and Dad went home after the game but Jim and I stayed up over night and hung out until Monday. Good times and Hank's first trip to Chicago and Wrigley field!

PSST If anyone points out the fact that the Cubs lost both games my son went to and then won the one he didn't I will find you and paint you Cubs colors. Believe me awe are in therapy about this but it will be alright!

BIRTHDAY!!!

Okay so I had my 36th birthday on June 13th!
Just had a great fiesta BBQ with some great food and Muchos Marvellous Mango Margarita's
That is what Steve from Beverly Hills 90210 always called his! Right Angie?!
Great times were had by all!

FALL OUT BOY!

Okay so we made it to the concert at The Mark in Moline. My friend Linda and my mom tag teamed sitting for the baby!
We made it up and thankfully missed Paul Wahl .
We also missed Cobra Starship but we had to eat our dinner there so we enjoyed a $4 piece of pizza and a $3 pretzel.
We did see The Academy Is... Very energetic and enjoyable to watch sound was kinda crappy though.
Next up was +44. Travis Barker on the drums! It was great but again the sound not so good.
Fall out Boy made it on and they always put on a thoroughly energetic show but low and behold sound was in the toilet. So we don't know if the sound at The Mark has gone to the shits or the set up for the tour was bad. Anyway it was a good show... Cracked us up though cause they did a cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller and it was funny seeing who knew the song and who didn't.

Hank and I been to some Chiefs games too!

Hopefully I will be back to soon to fill up the posts!

Coming up!

Jim and Shawn are going to TOOL
Jim and I are going to Social Distortion
