Mavs game 11-11-08

Tonight, I took Ryan to a Dallas Mavericks game. I think he had the time of his life. Wait I know he did (cause he told me so). First of all, we had the best seats that we've ever had. We were literally 11 rows from the court. It was like we could reach out and touch the players. Oh by the way the other team, the LA Lakers. That's right. Ryan got to see Kobe Bryant in person. That was totally awesome. Then he caught a t-shirt that they throw out when the team takes a time-out. He was super excited about that...Then the got to have his picture taken with 2 of the Mavs dancers (he's such a ladies man.) But more importantly, Ryan was on TV. That's right. My baby boy was caught on TV cheering for the Mavs. A friend of mine was watching the game and they recorded it so we can see it. I sure hope I was not in the camera shot. lol...
Did I mention that it was a close game. The Mavs were leading the entire game and then late in the 4th qtr the Lakers came out ahead and it was down to the wire. I would tell you who won the game but, it wasn't the Mavericks. So it's not important.

Finally an update...Still no new pictures...

Ok...So I'm just as bad at posting on Ryan's blog as I am at sending updated photos to the family. Things have just been super busy around here. Ryan's football team has made it to the playoffs. They finished the regular season 5-3-1. Although, they finished in 6th place, the team definitely deserves to be in the playoffs. Ryan did really well this season too. In the game against the Vikings he had a sack at the end of the 4th qtr that held the Vikings to 4th and inches, resulting in a turn over on downs (the teams don't punt on 4th down in this age group) with less than 45 seconds to play. They won, of course, 14-12. But the game he is most proud of was the last game against the Sharks. He had 2 key tackles, that resulted in a Bears touchdown.
I haven't been very good with the pictures cause I'm just too excited during the game to remember. But I will definitely have my camera ready this Saturday - Bears vs. Owlets...GO BEARS!!!
