Embracing the Winter

2009-01-11T12:14:00.000-08:00

I have found that the only way to enjoy the winter in the NE is to embrace it! The kids absolutely love the snow as well as Jim. C man had a game yesterday them Jim took him snowboarding afterwards. First time out this year besides the front yard and no one was hurting this morning. We got about 6 inches or so last night and the kids were excited to play in it this morning. Little E could not stand at the window and watch any longer so he joined in the fun. He had a blast sledding and playing. Mr M loved the ramp dad made and was able to get some good air! I even enjoyed a few runs down the driveway. It was so much fun watching the kids have fun in the snow and watching Jackson play with the neighbor dogs. Jim hooked Jackson up as the sled dog and he had fun pulling the kids down the hill while chasing a pig ear as a reward. Happy New Year to all...

Holiday fun!

Getting ready for the holidays...yeah! We finally got our tree and as you can see hung the ornaments with care, well maybe a few broke! The kids were more excited to get on the frozen pond across the street for a little hockey. I love the photos of them playing with a few of the neighbor kids. I think that the trees and our house looked so pretty after all the snow and ice we had a few days before. Oh it's going to be a long winter, I can feel it already. Do us a favor..click on the cookie to feed our reindeer!

Snow Day

First snow day of the season!! The kids woke up at 8:00 and could not wait to get outside. They ran down the steps in time to catch dad before he went to work so he could get the snowboards down. This is the time we are glad we have a good sized hill in our front yard! They were in it all day playing with friends in the neighborhood. Little E wanted to join in the fun but he has such a bad cold and a little fever so he hung inside with Jackson and they had there own fun. They were so tired tonight everyone fell asleep quick. Good thing C has and early hockey game! Happy weekend to everyone.

The kids didn't start out too great, but ended with a terrific win. The C man scoring in almost every game!! Grandma and Grandpa got to come up for the fun and get a taste of what youth hockey life is all about. I think they had fun even though grandma couldn't seem to get warm in the North Country!

Halloween

2008-11-01T06:52:00.000-07:00

The kids had a blast carving pumpkins!! Mr M insisted he do it all on his own as well as the C man. Little E had fun too with his pumpkin. He loved going house to house and getting the candy, but he didn't want to put it in his spider bucket, he preferred holding onto it. The boys had friends sleep over and watched a movie on the big screen. They had a terrific Halloween.

Since my sister-in-law took so long to make this site for me I really need to start making entries!! Thanks so much to her for this beautiful site that friends and family near and far can enjoy.
The kids are crazy busy and hockey season is in full swing. C man is doing fantastic with so many shots on goal. He is getting quick and is still loving the thrill of the ice. We are so proud of him...just to brag a little he is managing straight A's with his busy schedule.
Mr M...what a blast he is having in kindergarten and discovering new friends. He too is doing fantastic in hockey and school work. Keep it up Mr M!!!
Little E is busy, busy, busy and has found his scream. Cover your ears. He is happiest with a hockey stick in his hand. He continues to be such a spot of sunshine in all of our days. Keep checking in things are always in high speed at our house!!

Way to go C, you saw the open shot and took it. We are so proud of you. It was so hard for you to get up at 6am to make the game. We have seen much improvement in your skills! Keep up the great work.
