just for fun

i heard that dockers was giving away a pair of pants to the first 2010 people who went to the dockers website after their super bowl commercial. i pulled up the site before the game began and put in all my information. i happened to be walking by the tv when the dockers commercial came on. i ran to the computer, hit the enter button, and waited to find out if i won a pair of pants. i got an email today that i did... how fun is that? so ron is getting a brand new pair of dockers flat-front khakis for free. awesome!

since i'm on the subject of the super bowl, i have another good story. ron went to watch the game with some guys from the hospital. i mentioned to my mom when i talked to her yesterday afternoon that i was bummed i wasn't going to be able to watch the game. i'd be taking care of my 3 children instead. i love my kids, but i also love football. the pizza was delivered at 5:15 and we were sitting down eating dinner when my doorbell rang. it was pops, my step-dad. "what the heck are you doing here?" i think were my exact words. he works in huntsville some during the week and was planning to come on monday. he decided to come a little early so i could watch the game. i spent the next several hours watching football while he played with my kids, bathed them, and put them to bed. i am amazed by this man and his selflessness!!

it's too late. you had to be on lookout for the commercial during the super bowl and be among the first couple thousand to go to their site. i'm sure they went quickly...

EVERYONE says what a good guy Pops is. I am so much more than glad that you and your mom met him. :-)

Penny, loved the pictures and was touched by your kind words about Pops. He was happy to do that special surprise for you. Susan, maybe you could meet him one of these days. :) Love, B
