Video Chat!

Today, Mr. Phillips and Mrs. Pio's classes joined 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in a video chat with Mrs. Leinen using Skype.  We got to ask questions and Mrs. Leinen gave us some really cool answers!  Here are some pictures from the assembly.  Thanks for taking time out of your busy week Mrs. L!

Former Eagle in Souderton-what????

Guess who is coming to Souderton for Super Bowl!!!  Probably my favorite old Eagle and one of my great friends, David Akers.  

David and I have been friends for 12 years.  He was the person who married Mr. Leinen and me and he baptized me (in Caela Talmadge's pool!!!) a few years ago.  He will be in town speaking at the Men's Breakfast Bowl on Saturday.  Sooo, if you see Mr.Leinen driving around town with him, say hello.  He will be staying with us and they will be hanging out while I'm gone.  

Funny how it was only a few years ago that David was on the 49'ers and I was working with him at Super Bowl. Now I'm here - and he's there!

If you want to send any notes home with Mackenzie tomorrow (I know she's sick today) please do and she will give it to him!!!  

Have a great day!!!!

Family Arrival Day!

Hello West Broad!!!  Today is a fun day for the team.  Their friends and family arrive at Super Bowl!  They will leave for practice around 2:00 and when they get back there will be a big party to welcome everyone.  It is supposed to be around the pool but we are expecting rain so I'm not sure what will happen.  

I want to talk about Media Day!!!  Did anyone see ESPN or NFL Network on Tuesday?  There are always crazy people running around trying to get extra attention from the players.  Check out these two "clowns". 

There are also a bunch of celebrities and people you would recognize if you watch a lot of Sports Center!  Do you recognize this guy???  

His name is John Clayton.  He was the closest person I could find who may be Pony tail guy.  I looked everywhere...and unless this guy

Shaved it off...I'm pretty sure he wasn't at Media Day.  I even recruited my friend Ashton (pictured with John) to help me.  John did wear a ponytail in a commercial once, does that count???

I also wanted to share a few pictures of the players lounge which they used to eat and get ready before going out to see the media.  It had video games and a barber shop!!!

Here are a few other pictures of the day.  Their arrival, the media talking to Richard Sherman and back stage of the NFL Network booth.

Have a great day - cannot wait to see you all tomorrow!!!

 

Media Day today!

You all know what that means!!!!

Time for me to go and find "PONYTAIL GUY"!

For those of you who do not know what that means, visit this site later today or tomorrow for pictures of this fun day (and rare find from our first blog).

Have a great day!

Great weekend!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I sure did!!!  

We spent Saturday making final preparations for the team to arrive.  Here are some pictures from their locker room at ASU.  

We went to the stadium to pick up signs to put around the hotel.  We decided to pick up the Patriots signs too.  Funny how the coaches' signs ended up side-by-side, isn't it??? Hope the bigger sign wins :)

Lastly and probably the best part of the weekend was when the team asked me to take Russell Wilson to the Pro Bowl.  Did anyone watch it???  He had to do an interview with Chris Berman at half-time and I had to get him there!!!  I was nervous we may not be on time so the police helped us by letting us follow them.  When we got into traffic, they put on their lights so we could get by faster.  Here are some pictures of us on the field for the interview.  It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

All of the mascots were there too!  Here are the two "horses" from the Broncos & Colts. 

Have a wonderful day - I hope it doesn't get too snowy!  Stay warm (I know I will!!!)
