Hockey Practice

  It was a super busy weekend for us and it’s not even over yet!  Gma and Gpa Wikoff and Auntie Lulu are here for Chandler’s hockey tournament in Brainerd.  They were all delighted to find out that Dylan had some hockey entertainment to provide for them as well!  This is the first practice of his that I have been able to attend.  Normally, his practices are at night on weekdays, so I just stay home with Avos.  So you just know I was the crazy mom with all the cameras!  Here he is getting his stuff on with Coach Wikoff.Avery enjoyed playing with random kids and running up and down this ramp a bunch of times.  Grandpa thinks she just likes to stomp around in her boots.  Could be. A

bout to hit the ice!

Gliding along!  Can’t believe how far he has come since last year.  Last year, he moved so slow and now he glides across the ice with ease!

Dang kid turned his head before I could get a pic of his face!  I think he likes the “play” time at the beginning of practice the best.

Avos definitely enjoyed all the extra attention from everyone this weekend.  There was no shortage of arms to hold her.  She befriended lots of strangers too () and we heard lots of “she’s so cute!” comments.  Sorry peeps, she’s MINE!

Here is Dylan and his best buddy, Evan.  They go to school together too.  

Grandpa says that we’re gonna have many years of him looking to make sure that Mom is watching.  Hopefully this doesn’t cause him any bodily harm.  Watch what you’re doing, D! Ooooooh, its Coach Wikoff!  I will have to make sure to get his autograph later!

Then it was time for drills.  I could tell he was tired and not as interested in it.  Staying up until 10pm when you normally go to bed at 7pm will do that to a guy.  Avery hamming it up with Grandma. She was laughing SO hard here.  Cheap thrills! Chandler is getting to be s

uch a grown up young man!  The team isn’t doing so well this weekend.  So he’s been a grumpy gus.  Oh well!  Ya win some, ya lose some, Chanz!  

And we’re hoping today’s game is a WIN.  It is early this morning, so I better head to the shower before the rest of the peeps get up and a line forms.  Later!
