School is back in session, hockey is back in session

School started back about 3 weeks ago! Joy and Ben so far like school and their teachers. I like their teachers too! Joy scored average on her reading and math wasl, so if she wants to get the academic award with hockey she will have to work harder in school. Ben has found out he really likes math, he flies through his homework now! :)

Where did June go?? I'll post something more tonight, but it just hit me, June is almost over!

Baseball

So you know those days when the other team doesn't show up? We had one today, I've got to say it's probably the best thing that could have happened today! We played parents v/s kids! Here's a picture of what they did to Marc! :D
And that would be Joy directly on top of him in the blue pants!

Ben was tickled to have made it past the parents to first base! LOL

Camera

The posting doesn't show the pictures to the best of their view, however, if you can see, the tulips actually have drops of water on them from the snow, and in the picture of the snow flying, it actually caught the snow in mid flight! I love that it caught Ben in mid movement also! If you double click on the picture it should make a closeup. If you look at the baseball you may even be able to see the stitching on the baseball.

pictures....

Ok, so I am way behind on updating my blog... :)

Let's see...

Joy: Hockey finished in March, she did great and can't wait to play for Squirt level this year! She has been playing 3X3 hockey and isn't real happy with it, but at least it's ice time and she loves ice time! It's hard to believe school will be out soon and Joy will be in 4th GRADE! How did that happen???? Her class is going to the aquarium this week and I get to go with them! :)

Ben: is playing baseball again this year, I will post more photos of it all. Marc is the head coach and I am the team manager. It's been fun, but fortunately almost over. They actually tied their last two games, which was against a bunch of 2nd graders! Ben goes on to 2nd grade this year, WOW! for the most part he does really well! Turns out he plays baseball as a lefty much beter than a righty!

Marc: Had a nice weekend in the hospital to have a couple of stents installed in him and is almost done with cardio rehab. That has been fun... NOT!

Me: Other than I still love my new job, taking care of the kids, the cats, dog and rat (Who now belongs to Joy, Ben got tired of him...) I have a new camera that I LOVE!!! The other hockey mom at work showed me hers and I played with it a little while... I will post some pictures to show you what it can do! It's a Nikon D70. I need another lens to go with it, but it is awesome already!!!

I will post more later!
