Out door hockey!

There are 3 postings today of the past 2 weekends!

Here is Braden at his first out door hockey practice.  He was very excited about it too.  Yesterday (Saturday) he was suppose to have his firts out door game.  Becasue of the cold temps he did not.  In stead they had practice instead.  It was a very nice day today. 

We were hanging out with the Spive's while the boy's practiced.  Ava the daredevil she is. Started jumping off the snow bank and having Jason catch her.  Good thing that there was tons of snow arounds us.

Ava's first time on ice!

Today after Braden has hockey pratice we took Ava out on her skates. She had a blast and was very good at it. Jason and I took turns holding her up and she would walk alittle bit and then she told me I want to try by myself. I let her go and off she went.  Walk not skating a few feet away from me towards Jason.  We are very proud of her!  Jason even showed her how to get up when she fell and she was able to do that a couple of times too.  She was very excited at skating today and she wants to do it again!

Part 2 of Christmas 209

After spending some time with my mom and Jim and my brother's family. We head over to my dads house for the day.  Ava did not know if was Grandpa Fox or Santa at the house when were arrived.

Then on New Years Eve we jumped into the car and head to Oakes ND. To see Jason's side of the family. We did lots of fun things while we were in Oakes.  Bowling was one of the kids favorite things were did besides opening more gifts.

Here is Ava with Uncle Keith!  She had a blast bowling for the first time.

Here is Braden running away not wanting to see if those 2 pins ever made it down! He had a blast also and was wanting a strike.  I can tell you it is not like Wii bowling!

Here is Macy, Ava and Great Grandma Hattie playing with the dice.  They were making towers and seeing how high the could build them before the fell over!

The Loepp's got Braden and Dino egg.  The Valcanio was filled with water and then you put the dino egg in the center and it started to foam.  Once all of the foam disapeard there was a T-rex in side.  Very COOL!
