Hockey~the last game at J.S. Glas

Last night (Saturday 2/20/10) the BSU Beaver's played their last game at the John S. Glas. It was a very exciting night and weekend. Jason and I were able to take our kids to Friday and Saturday night games Thanks to the Bank who has season tickets. Winning both nights was a blast not only it was the last home game but the last game at the Glas.  Below are some photos Jason and I took at the game on Sat.

Dropping ot the puck!

Our first goal of the night!

Vance the Zambonie driver taking his last round of the rink. He has been the driver for twent some years!

The banks seats are close to the red line as you can get. Jason was able to take this great photo of the rink.

Here is our ending score! What a game!

At the end of the night they took a photo of the first hockey player to score at the Glas and the last person who scored at the Glas. Cramer on the left and Denny Sauter on the right.

This is R.H. Peters the former BSU hockey coach.

It was a great night and we are looking foward to next year season at the BREC!

Ice Fishing!

A couple of weekends ago Griffin's family came over for the weekend. Jason took Braden and Trysten out ice fishing.  Trysten was not that excited because he never caught any fish while ice fishing before. He is now happy to say that he loves fishing with uncle Jason!  The fish were bitting that day and Trysten was the frist one to catch a fish too!

It is February!?

Wow it is already February! Where did January go? We have been busy around here again.

Braden has hockey 2 times a week and games on Saturday. And he is still going to church on Wednesday nights after practice for youth group.

Ava is also coming with us to church and loves meeting new friends. I think since Braden has joined hockey and church Ava has made 3 new friends her age.
We have been enjoying going to the BSU hockey games again this year…thanks to the bank who has 8 seats. Our team has been doing really great this again this year and we are looking forward to next year’s game in our new Bemidji Regional Event Center that is being built on Lake Bemidji. The BREC will be open in October. We will be hosting the first game to the Grand Forks Sioux. (Papa Doug’s team)
Here is a photo of what the BREC looks like now.

Here are the kids playing in a fort they built in the living room yesterday afternoon. We are home again today because Braden was tested positive for Strep. Today we sent Ava to Annette’s so Braden could relax today without her. He was able to sleep in today and be able to have lunch in the living room. He was very excited for that. So was the dog, who almost got his lunch.

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!
