Game Night Results!

First a little pizza for some fuel!


Next up, time to practice!

JJ and Jayla ran around the floor just like they were at any old gym. Neither of them have any idea that most 3 year olds and 1 1/2 year olds don't ever get to step foot on this floor!


Later on, it was a FULL house!

JJ & Jayla were more interested in keeping their eyes on Cy and Herkey (the mascots) than the game. :)
Then came time for Daddy's debut! I caught the first shooting time on video....and during this one he made 9 out of 10 shots! If you turn it up loud enough you might get to hear the guy in the stands yelling obscenities at Jake. Oh yes, when you're good at something there are always haters. Just fuels the determination as Jake always says (in fact, when this happened to him in college it even spurred an idea for a tatoo that he got!). :)



After this one, he got to shoot 2 more times. The second time he made 3 out of 5 shots, and the 3rd time he made 4 out of 5 shots! They ended up changing the rules, and he only got to shoot 20 shots, but they were all from the top of the key so that was good! They also decreased the money amounts that each shot was worth. All in all he made 16 out of 20 shots and earned $1075! Good job, Daddy! They wrote a check to the guy in the stands that was picked, and he was this cute 70-year-old guy that Jake said kept thanking him and thanking him. :) This amount will also be donated to a charity of Jake's choice, and will also be matched and put into the ISU scholarship foundation.

A few more pictures...
Daddy chats with the refs (doesn't this look familiar?!)


Leaving through the old tunnel....this is the way we always left after the games, only then we didn't have two little munchkins with us! :)

What a FUN night! Did I mention that the CYCLONES WON?!?!?!

Awesome reporting Janel! Thanks for the video and pictures! LOVE that the kids were running around at Hilton. Little do they know...that's where it all started.

Fantastic job Jake! Too bad all the rules changed. Unless if the top of the key is the 'money' shot.
