First Swim in our pool!

The kids just got home from school from the last day of school for the 2009-2010 school year. The pool just finished filling, the pumps were just turned on, and the water was still a milky green. And this is what happened….

 

Ryan Skating @ Cedar Park Center

Ryan was invited to skate at the Cedar Park Event Center where the Texas Stars play. He was invited because he sold tickets as part of the Peewee age division to one of the final regular season games for the Texas Stars.

Unfortunately, I started goofing off and not video taping so this is the only segment I caught.

 

WOW…

Just one word is all I have after watching my daughter perform her first ever voice song in front of an audience. The reason we are so amazed at her performance is that Krystal just started voice lessons recently and she has came a long way with her voice in a short period of time. And the most amazing thing is seeing our shy little girl perform with such confidence on stage. We are so very proud of her…

 

Why hockey coaches should wear face shields

Last night during my peewee practice I was being a big tough defender during warm-ups.  The player did a backhand scoop of the puck and BAM.  Soon after, I noticed a big pool of blood in my hand and on the ice and the end result is 5 stitches and some pretty good bruising.  Needless to say, I will be buying a shield before my next practice.

Day after pictures for your enjoyment…

Enjoying the new Leander Skate Park

During the Christmas break we got a chance to play at the new Leander Skate Park. Krystal had a blast riding her scooter in a lap formation around the skate park. Krystal also spent some time in the bowl and learned how to balance herself on the walls. Ryan spent most of the time in the bowl and learned how to drop-in.

Of course I just had to help Ryan learn how to drop-in from my Clown Ramp days in Dallas but I have to admit the kid picked up dropping a lot quicker than I ever did.

Ryan’s Toilet Paper Holder

Today we went Xmas idea shopping to fill out our Xmas lists as a family and Ryan cracked a funny one.

He got real excited and said, “Hey mommy look at this great toilet paper holder.”

We all had a good laugh and let him know it was a wine rack :-)

Water in Face

This summer we had a chance to go visit Grandma and Grandpa in Okmulgee. During this visit Grandpa got his boat working so we took the boat out for a quick trip around the lake which the kids enjoyed. But the highlight of the event was Grandpa allowing the kids (me too) to ride in the back of the truck on the way back to the house.

The kids were singing and pretending to be dogs but the funniest part was when Krystal decided she wanted to try to spit water out of her mouth.

The video below best describes what she learned :-)
