Disney On Ice

We surprised Lorelei (and ourselves) with an impromptu trip to Disney On Ice this morning.

$70 for tickets, $20 for a tour program, $15 for cotton candy (with a crown), $7 for pizza.

Smiles all around = priceless.

Happy Valentine's Day !!!

Talent Show

Lorelei's school talent show was fantastic !! She practiced so hard for her song, "A Million Dreams". Even with her getting a little flustered or as she likes to call it, 'scared fright', she did fantastic and we are SO proud of her.

Snow Day 5 & 6

Yes. 5 and 6. Hopefully this is the end.

Inspired by our new favorite show, "Ellen's Game of Games."

Last Friday night, our favorite rock band, Styx, did a show after the Admirals hockey game. I wore a vintage Styx shirt featuring one of the founding members, James JY Young. Since we got to be in the front row, I got a lot of attention from JY and lots of guitar pics as well.

After a fantastic show including a full rendition of "Mr. Roboto", I was very interested in seeing if we could run into any of the band members. Long story short I ended up backstage at the Milwaukee Arena and got to meet the bassist, Ricky Philips, the drummer, Todd Sucherman, and JY. See the video below for the very special meaningful regarding "Lorelei".

Snow Day #2, 3, 4, AND 5

As I update the blog, we are currently in our 5th 'snow day' of the year. School has been closed due to snow, extreme cold, and today is freezing rain. This is crazy !!!
