More hockey....

J. is having a blast playing hockey. He even got a little aggressive last week and check someone. He also got in the penelty box (We don't know the reason), but he was pretty excited to be there.

HALLOWEEN 2011

For Halloween this year the kids were hockey players. E. played the part really well, 3 days before Halloween she dropped a weight on her finger and bruised it really good. She couldn't use it for 2 weeks.


THE SHARKS

This year J. wanted to play Hockey. It turns out that he finally found something that he loves. He is really good. His season runs from September to March, so we have a lot of hockey to watch. GO SHARKS!!!!


POWER SLAPPERS

This year's fall soccer team was awesome. They played hard and only lost a couple of games. E. scored in about half of the games. We love our POWER SLAPPERS!!!

PALISADE STATE PARK TRIP #1

We had so much fun at Palisade State Park. We got to spend 4 days there. We swam in the lake, kayaked, played in the raft, (J. named it The Black Pearl Jr.), played golf with Grandma and Grandpa Combes, and rode bikes. We had 2 really good days, and then the wind started to blow so it was hard to raft and kayake because of the white caps on the lake.

NO MORE BLING!!!!!

NO MORE BLING!!!!! J. got his braces off and now he sports this new colorful retainer.
