Hockey BBQ...

We always celebrate the end of the hockey season with a BBQ, this is something I always look forward to. I really enjoy the parents & I LOVE seeing the kids enjoy & get to know their teammates off the rink. A great time was had by all. Here are a few of the fun shots I took...

Princess wanted to show that she was a "big girl" so she watched & learned how to roll down the hill...

Last hockey tourney of the season...

All 3 of our age divisions did GREAT.  They all made it to the championships, both the 12u & 10u teams took home the GOLD, the 8u got the silver.  That game went into OT & was GREAT, such a fun game to watch.  Final score: 9-8.

Here are some random pics of the boys from the weekend...

It was another GREAT season, lots of growing & learning & of course, tons of FUN! Can't wait for next year so we can do it all again. GO WILDFIRE!

More on the weekend...

Now I'll focus on the hockey part of the weekend, seeing as how that's why we were in Portland to begin with.

The kids all did great.  D was asked to skate with another team on their 6u team (we weren't putting a team in that division), he was SO excited!  He was definitely one of the stronger skaters, I think he scored 3 goals playing with them.  They took home the GOLD, so that was pretty exciting.

All of our teams made it into the championships, they all ended up taking 2nd place, but they played GREAT! C-Man played the best he has EVER played. I swear, he looked like a totally different skater out there. He was strong, aggressive, wasn't "choppy" on his skates, he was EXTREMELY confident out there. He was so much fun to watch. Here are just a few of the many pics I ended up with.

Bubby with both his silver & gold...


This last one is just one of my favs from the weekend. D had just gotten done winning the semi final game & was sitting down next to the Princess, nothing fancy, but I think it's cute.

So, there you have it, an update on our weekend away.  We only have 1 more tourney to go & that one is here.  I love hockey, but am glad it's coming to an end.  Next up... (after baseball is finished of course) is soccer, then football, then basketball, then... you get the idea!  It's never ending around here, but I LOVE it & wouldn't want it any other way.
