Saturday Hockey Night at The Wagner's

For all of you who know us dearly, you know that we spend at least 1/2 of our lives at the hockey rink. Every Saturday is completely full of hockey. We start at 8:30am with Sam's practice, then Matthew has a game, then on some Saturdays Kurt has either a game or coaching at a Bantam (9th graders) practice.

Today, I remember my camera. There were a ton of people at Matthew's game and there are no bleachers, so it is difficult to get good shots. But here are a few that I thought were really cool.....I didn't get the best shot of the night, his first official goal....the winning goal for the game!!!




Then at Kurt's (#22) game, I got some really good action shots. The lighting is much better, the boards are cleaner, & there are only a handful of people there.....



For every minute we are running around from rink to rink, we love it & wouldn't want our Saturdays to be any different!!!

Kitchen Helper



I am usually in the kitchen by myself whipping up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But Sam has started to want to help, so of course I can put him to work. After we made chocolate chip cookies, I started working on the green beans for dinner. Sam watched for a few minutes, then wanted to join in. He did a great job, such the little helper. And with the green beans, there wasn't any flour to spill all over the cabinet & floor. Now, if I could only get him to eat more than the one bean I force his to choke down!!!!

Are you ready for some football?!?!?







Matthew has found a sport that he loves almost as much as hockey.....football. Not only does he play at home with us. He has a group of kids at school that play during recess. I've got to see them play at school a few times and it's as if they are playing for the Super Bowl. It's so cool to see boys find something they love to do.

Matthew is also turning into Kurt's dream child. He will sit and watch games with him & ask about the rules, the plays, and the penalties. It's super cool.

Once in a while I throw in a cheer here and there and I get the evil eye from the room! I don't care, I just keep on yelling. Like yesterday while we were watching the UT/OU game, I was yelling "Hold 'em, defense, Hold 'em defense, hey, hey, hey" Kurt and Matthew were yelling at me "Be quite!!!!" Don't care......UT wins....Hook 'em....OU sucks!!!!

Oh yea, Sam is loving football too, but this day he wanted to race motorcycles....
