Braden Playing Hockey

Braden is playing little kid's hockey, it is call Cross Ice. They kids are split up into appropriate age groups and they work on drills. Then they play different types of games. It is 90 minutes long and Braden is on the ice the entire time.

The first drill they do it push a tire across the ice with their hockey stick. Braden has gotten really good at this, he is the quickest in his group.

Then they have to push it with their gloves.

The next thing they had to do was to pull their team mate across the ice with the hockey sticks. Braden was able to do this. Though the above picture shows how they stopped!

Below is Braden pulling someone across the ice while they were sitting.

Braden loves to slide across the ice. We also realized that as the class goes on they don't get up as quickly, we think they are taking a breather!

Below is B doing the Kovalchuk move after scoring a goal! Every time he scores he shows his daddy with his fingers how many goals he had shot.

Braden has been working on his stick handling. He practices at home and it has improved drastically.

Braden counts down how many days until he plays again. He loves it!

Caitlin's Recital

Caitlin had her dance recital today. She was super excited. She was sick yesterday so I was not sure how she would feel today, but she was doing better.

This is Caitlin and Ellie. They were in PreK together and have become good friends.

Caitlin, Ellie and Jessica. Jessica and Caitlin were in dance last year together and again this year.

Caitlin and her friend Hannah, they were in preschool together and now in kindergarten together.

Caitlin did so well. Her group did a tap and a ballet performance. She had so much fun.

My beautiful princess!

Proud Daddy and Caitlin!

There are not any pictures from the actual performance because we could not use flash. We did get it on video though!

Park Day

This past week we finally had a free day, which is very rare recently. The kids asked to go to the playground and since it was so nice out I decided to go.

Braden went around the playground finding places for me to take his picture.

They had fun playing with some neighbors and worked up a sweat!

They like this playground because there are ducks for them to feed. The ducks are very use to people and can get aggressive.

They had fun getting out and enjoying the day!

Egg Hunt

Happy Easter! We went to my mom's for an Easter Egg Hunt with my kids and the Rego kids.

Both my kids quickly realized there was money in some of the eggs and wanted to open them as they picked them up.

Isabella knew to run around and grab as many as she could.

Sam was a great egg hunter!

Daddy and C!

B and his tongue! Just like mommy!

Now the kids are ready to skate, they have pads!

They loved playing hockey with daddy.

C played hockey but still was a diva.

They tried to get Daddy to wear his skates, but he still played hockey with them!

DIVA

Hockey boy!

Easter Morning

Every Easter the Easter bunny leaves clues for the kids to follow in order to get their Easter baskets.

Both kids know that when they wake up they will have a clue waiting for them by their bedroom doors.

Caitlin now likes the fact that she can try to help read the clues!

Braden will follow his sister wherever she goes!

They went all over the house reading their clues.

The final destination was the basement.

This is when B just found his basket, he did not see his roller blades yet.

C is so excited to see all her things in her basket, not sure if she saw her blades yet!

Now, she found her blades!!

Crazy Hair just found his skates! (He is not crazy hair anymore, he decided he wanted to look like his daddy and get it cut. I was sad to get the curls cut out but he looks good!)

C eating Pop Rocks for the first time!
