Sioux Game ( A little late)

We took Grady to a Sioux game in Feb.  Yes a little late, but we have been busy with

our big project.  He loved the game.

Payton sat by us for 2 periods.  She has babysat the boys a few times

and I believe Grady may have a little crush on her.

Say CHEESE!!!

Grady took this picture of the players coming out.

Standing in front of the REA.

Picture with all their awards.

If you noticed that I said we had a very big project earlier and

are interested in checking out pics.

We bought the townhouse next to ours and remodeled it.

It was a two month project and now we rented it out!!!

There are also pics from Kaity and Nathan wedding on that website.

HOCKEY, HOCKEY, HOCKEY

This video is from the other day when we went up to the hockey rink

and I told Grady to skate as fast as he could across the ice!!!

Grady had his first two hockey scrimmages that last two Saturdays. 

He did really good in both.  4 goals first Sat and 3 goals yesterday!

We got Bennett some skates and had him out on the ice for the first time

on Friday.  He really showed interest, but tired out fast.



Hard to explain which one is him, but he is #24, has a white helmet
and is to the right of the kid standing closest to the bottom of the pic.



Papa B and Nana B came to watch my first game. 
Thank goodness Nana remembered her camera cause I forgot mine!!!!

Bennett with his skates on for the first time.

Ready to SCORE!!!!

He posed so nice for me!!!

schedules being conflicting.

Kiss under the mistletoe!!!



Bennett kiss under the mistletoe, he didn't like it much.

Bennett didn't open one present that night, all he wanted to do was throw all the garbage away.
He's our garbage boy!!!
