The Special Olympics

So I haven't forgotten about the movie of Paul. We have it and it is coming. I can never get it to work for me so I need to have Scott work his wonders. Meanwhile I figure I should probably post something. The 2009 Special Olympics Winter Games are here in Boise. Scott has been covering a whole lot of it so we decided to go and see some of the games on his day off. It was a lot of fun. If you are interested at all go to KTVB.com and see some of the stories that Scott has done this last week. They have been pretty incredible.This floor hockey team from the Dominican Republic is one of the teams he did a story on. About a week or so before the games they found out they didn't have enough money for all of the plane tickets...half to be exact. Well people called in and donated and miracle after miracle happened and low and behold they were able to make it. Scott tells it better than I do... http://www.ktvb.com/video/?z=y&nvid=330221
Katie and Paul wanted to run around everywhere while we were at the games so we put them in the make shift "playpen"
It was the supports that were holding up the floor hockey courts.


This was the Trinidad and Tobago vs Canada game. There was a guy that was cheering on Trinidad so loud because there were about 6-7 people cheering on Canada. It was pretty funny. Scott ended up doing a story on this one too. http://www.ktvb.com/video/index.html?nvid=331200


It turned out to be a really fun day and we all went home and took about a 2 1/2 hour nap when we were all done.


SIDE NOTE....We have hit the half way point in the pregnancy!!! We find out if we are having a boy or girl next friday. We will keep you posted.

That is so cool that your husband is a news reporter. I had no clue! Does he just report on sports, or on other things as well? I bet that is fun for the kids to be able to see him on tv. How are things going?
