Ryan's Cross Ice Hockey Tournament

Ryan had his Cross Ice Hockey Tournament on March 13th. He did an excellent job and scored a couple goals! Fred was the coach of Ryan's team and it really was awesome! He enjoyed having hot coca with his friend Jamison too! Hockey is over until August-September! Come on warm weather... we want to open our pool!

Ice Rink

Since Trish and Kevin have their own ice rink....Fred thought we should have one also. He and our neighbor Chris ("B") have worked on it for two days now. First phase was to snow blow the side yard, Phase 2 was to lay down the huge blue tarp and water it, Phase 3 was to put boards around it and plastic down over the tarp and start filling it up. Since the ground is so uneven they are filling it and then letting it freeze and then filling it more to try to make it even- I hope that it works! It has been fun watching from inside the house since last night it was 5 degrees outside and this morning it was even colder.... I am not complaining though- the cold really hasn't bothered me as much in the past. Maybe I have just come to realize that it really isn't going to stop snowing or get any warmer by complaining, I just have to ride out the winter months until Spring comes.... Of course now that we are putting an ice rink in I hope it stays cold for awhile. Ryan and Landon are ready to go out and use the rink, they don't understand that it isn't ready now.... freeze water freeze!
