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 confidence makes it easier to be a goalie parent.  He handles the pressure of the position well.  I sometimes can't say the same for his mom.  :-)

I hope to keep this blog more up to date.  Seeing my posts over the years makes me realize how quickly time goes and how much can be missed along the way.  It is hard to believe at times that I at this stage in my life, but here I am and I am a happy mom of two great boys!

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...

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

Still got a chance...

Last week Cody and I had gone shopping. As we were going through the checkout lane he noticed a magazine with Carrie Underwood in her wedding dress on the front cover. He loves Carrie Underwood and even drew hearts all around her picture of one of my magazines. He asked "Mom, did she get married?" I answered "Yes." Right away he said "Do you think they will break up soon?" I told him that if she did break up with him, she likes hockey players so he still has a chance. He said "Good!"
