Cabin Fever

It's Winter in Minnesota. As in...it's REALLY winter this year. Lots of snow. School closings. The whole caboodle. Cabin Fever is setting in at the Kopp household. Lil' TK's basketball tournaments help get us out for a day or two on the weekends. The Mankato West White 6th Grade boys won their FIRST game in New Ulm on Saturday. It was so exciting to watch. Then on Sunday, they scored 35 points in one game...more than they have ever scored! They lost the game in OT but it was still a great outing for the little team that could.

Kels is working on getting ready for Peppers Softball tryouts 3/28. Batting seems to be her strong point so far...she is literally knocking them out of the batting cage. Lil' TK has basketball and is also visiting the baseball warehouse to work on fielding, pitching and batting for his Royals Baseball tryouts in April.

Big TK is still diligently looking for full-time employment and playing in Acoustic Incorporated. He's had several successful shows with the group both in the Mankato area and at a little bar in St. Paul called Half Time Rec. He and Matt are putting together a rock band and hope to start practicing soon with a couple new band-mates so they can get gigging. AND he is still playing with the group, Roses and Thorns, which will be performing at the Loose Moose on 2/19. Check out www.myspace.com/acousticincorporated or find them under "Matt Tom" on Facebook for dates. The group is also on Twitter under "Acoustic_Inc".

Ang is just hanging out trying to get/keep everyone organized and where they need to be. She got a job as Assistant Organization Manager with MAYBA (Mankato Baseball) after MAGFA (softball) eliminated her position last fall. In addition to Asst. Org Mgr for MAYBA, Ang will be managing the Single A travel league. Things will get really crazy with MAYBA Fest at the RiverHills Mall March 13th and 14th - it's where over 1000 kids will sign up to play ball this summer. Ang is looking forward to being involved with youth sports again.
