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.

Standing in front of Ralph.

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

are interested in checking out pics.

Go to holenfamily.shutterfly.com

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!!!

Christmas at the Holen's



We had Christmas this last weekend with the Holen side, due to daddy and Uncle Pats
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!!!

Playing with one of the toys I got, a little air hockey table.
I love it!!!

Visiting with Santa.

The whole Holen Clan.



Thanksgiving at Brock and Kathryns

We got to have Thanksgiving at Brock and Kathryns this year.

They moved into their new house not to long ago, so they still have an

unfinished basement.  I think thats cool because then we got to play hockey.

It was lots of fun.

Even Bennett joined in for a little hockey.

Kathryn made little turkeys out of oreos, peanut butter cups

and some other good stuff.  They were REALLY good.

 Bennett doing his part of helping clean up.  That kid Loves the garbage.

Bennett loved the turkeys too!!!



Hockey Camp and Bennett being Silly!!!

Grady started hockey the first week of November.   He had a whole week of hockey camp and now has hockey practice on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.  My baby is too little to be starting a sport, but he LOVES it.  He asks me everyday if he gets to go to hockey and had put many scratches on my laminent flooring and a hole in a door already and he's only 4. 

These pics are from the very first night of camp. 

He is already skating all over the place and getting up from the ice all by himself



One of Bennetts new hiding places.




And another.
