Sam's Preschool HEB Field Trip

Well, I have one more thing I can check off my been there, done that, list....preschool field trips. Sam went on his last preschool field trip to HEB. There was lots of fun to be had with about 28 students, 4 teachers, & a dozen or so parents.....

Watch out shoppers...here we come!
Super silly HEB kings...Nate & Sam
A bit chilly in the freezer with Ms. Alicia.
Checking out the fish counter...."do you really think they are gonna make us try that??"
Done....

McAllen, TX - Hockey Tournament

On February 6th, we drove 5 hours so that Matthew could play in a hockey tournament. Four games on Saturday & four games on Sunday. He was awesome. All wins. Out of about the 300 pictures I took, here are some of the best ones....

G O R O A D R U N N E R S ! ! ! ! !

About to hit the ice...
Taking someone out....(something you are not suppose to do in Mite hockey!)

Almost in. The puck is just to the right of the goalie. The goalie stopped it just in time.
Reaching for the puck...
This is what youth hockey is all about...friends & their coach!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

With being sick from strep throat, a weekend out of town hockey game, and just the business of life, I was able to sneak away one night with some great girlfriends to celebrate that birthday, than ends all birthdays.....40! We got hit Cedar Street on a Wednesday night and got to dance to the Spazmatics!!!!!!!

Cheers to me!!!!
The whole gang....Kim, Karrie, Jenn, ME, Beth, Kim, & Summer

Mr. Ribbit

Introducing Mr. Ribbit from Sam's class.
Each week someone from Sam's preschool class gets to enjoy Mr. Ribbit for the weekend and then document the things they did together. You know, more parent homework :) ... love ya
Ms. Karissa!!!!

He had a really great time with Sam over the weekend. First order of business - a bath! Sam was worried because I was putting him in the washing machine instead of the tub, but I explained he could hold his breath for a really long time, then he was fine with it! (How long am I going to be able to get away with explanations like this???)

Then, of course, he had to go to hockey practice. He had to stay in the locker room during practice because he didn't have a helmet....Sam's explanation, not mine!!!
Next playing around in the giant ball. Thanks, Nannie & Pa..Mr. Ribbit loves the ball too!

Finally, getting a pump on the bike. Sam didn't mind that he didn't have a helmet on for this activity.
