Game on!




Well, we just finished with a very eventful weekend. Connor had his first Squirt B hockey tournament of the season in Rochester. To go along with that was a very nasty blizzard. Blizzard or not, hockey continued. The weekend started with a Friday night game for Connor's team against another Rochester team. Our team came out on top 3-1. On Saturday as the snow was falling heavily, we played at 10 a.m. against Osseo Maple Grove and won 9-1. Later that afternoon at 3 p.m. we played St. Francis and won 5-2. That set us up for an 8 a.m. game as second seed in the tournament, and we played another Rochester team and came out on top of that game 3-1 in which Connor scored a goal. That took us to the Championship game of the tournament. Again, we faced yet another Rochester team. Unfortunately, the other team came out on top ending with a score of 3-1. We proudly took 2nd place in the tournament that included 12 Squirt B teams. What a finish! Thankfully we made it to those games on Sunday with the help of a neighbor with 4 wheel drive. Our streets did not get plowed until 1 p.m. that afternoon. It was a wonderful and busy weekend at the arena.

Uh oh!

Well, I was hoping this day wouldn't come this early, but today I received a call from school. Mr. Goetz, the school administrator, told me that he had Cody in his office along with another boy from Cody's class. Apparently, Cody's teacher asked Mr. Goetz to talk to the boys regarding their behavior. They had been shoving and hitting each other so the teacher decided they should be taken aside to make sure they know the rules. We will see what Cody's take is on this when we talk to him about it this evening...stay tuned.

Hard to believe...

Here I am again.  This time I really need to keep up with this.  I am writing this with a son in his junior year of high school and a son in 7th grade.  With each school year I have more emotions.  As each year passes I am more aware of how fast time is going as well as how the time with my boys is getting shorter. Cody loves to sing and has performed at Pure Rock Studios and also sang the National Anthem this summer at a soccer game.  I am proud of his willingness to perform in front of an audience even thought it can be nerve wracking and intimidating. Connor is now a licensed driver and has a girlfriend.  Her name is Riley.  I really like his girlfriend.  It is hard to believe he only has two years of high school left.  I think I am in denial.  This year we will probably take a look at colleges.  It is still so hard to believe. Both boys are still playing hockey.  Cody is still playing goalie and loves it.  His co...

Time Flies

Hard to believe it has almost been a year since I posted anything.  At that time I had good intentions of posting more regularly to capture things going on throughout the year.  Well, I am going to try again. We are getting close to another new school year.  Connor is a senior!  I am still trying to wrap my head around it.  The time has gone so fast.  We went to several open houses for friends of his that graduated this year.  It makes me sad even though I know it is a part of life.  Part of starting up this blog again is to help me put my feelings down as we go through the journey of life.  Cody is starting 8th grade.  One last year of middle school. Both boys make me so proud.  They both continue to play hockey.  Cody is still a goalie and does such a good job in a tough position.  Me, on the other hand...being a goalie mom is not easy.  Almost a year ago my grandma moved in with us.  I am blessed to stil...
