Moments of fame

Both Cooper and Kaiya have had a little time in the spotlight in the last couple weeks. Kaiya had a piano recital in Boulder and Cooper got to spend a little quality time at Coors field, rubbing elbows with players, coaches and the media.

Last Saturday, Cooper got the chance to go to Coors Field for Fan Fest. It's an event for season ticket holders in which fans have the opportunity to meet players and coaches and tour the entire facility, including things like the locker room. I had worked the night before, so I had to sleep and Doug was working. So, we gave the tickets to a good friend and he took his two sons and Cooper to the event.

Cooper's moment of fame came when he landed an on camera interview with Alana Rizzo and Marc Stout from FSN. Those names don't mean much to many of you, but they are household names around here. They are two of the primary announcers for FSN, who broadcasts all of the Rockies games on TV. I've always said I wanted Alana's job, but I might have to let Coop have the job instead. It's small and kind of hard to see, but check this out!

Here is Kaiya's piano recital video. It was an after Christmas theme and she worked pretty hard on it, which isn't easy in light of her gym schedule. I'm also posting this link to show her latest feat in the gym--can now do a round off, back handspring, back tuck. She is pretty pumped to be learning all this new stuff!
