When we built the ice rink, Kannon made it clear that having a bench was just as important as having the ice!  He was out there bright and early on the 10 degree morning!  I watched him for a while, them told him I was going to step inside the garage to warm up for a minute.  He said "OK, I'll take a rest too", then went to the bench!

Another tumble meet today!  It was a small meet, with just one event.  Carsyn placed 4th out of  9 in her group.  Not the best picture of my little beauty, but I sure am proud of her and love her to pieces!!

Not the picture I had planned for today, but when I started weeding through them all, this one was the winner!  I dusted off my flash ( actually, I just found it after a year of so of not knowing where it was)!  I've never known how to use it, but I sure like playing!!  I just love his big brown eyes, and perfect little eyebrows!!  He used color changing tablets in his bath... they love those things!!

7/365

He loves getting his Hockey magazine in the mail every other month.  He sits and "reads" it from cover to cover, circling  items he likes( even though it's not a catalog)!!  And yes, he IS wearing the same outfit as yesterday...whoppsie!!

When my littlest is playing hockey around the house, he sometimes likes to put on a baseball hat and pretend he's "the goalie with the hat"  aka-  The back-up goalie, that sits on the bench waiting to be put in the game!!
