Sled Wings Vs. Grand Rapids Griffins

Tuesday night we went down to Belknap Park Ice Arena and got to watch our cousin Tyler play hockey against the Grand Rapids Griffins.  The Sled Wings play hockey in Sleds and have a hockey stick that has a pick on one end of the stick and on the other end is the actual stick part that you hit the puck with.  As you can see in the pictures I was able to go in the sled and try it out.  It was a blast.  I was tired and didn't know just how much work it took to be able to move around on the ice.  You need the upper body strength.  It's a great work out for the arms and stomach!!  Terri Sue also went out there and we got to hang out with Tyler on the ice for a while.  Tyler was interviewed by Fox News At 10 last week and was on the news talking smack about the Griffins and how they were going to lose.  He said that the Sled Wings would win 7-0 and they did!!  Tyler scored the first goal.  He was tipping over the Griffins players and making them work for the puck.  He did such a great job....we are so PROUD of him.  In the one picture is just Me and Tyler and the other picture is Terri Sue, Tyler and Me.    

Busy Busy..

Just wanted to say that I am still alive and kicking.  I haven't updated the blog in a while.  Things have been crazy for Jason and myself.  We were both laid off from work here in November so we have been looking for jobs and all of the fun stuff that goes along with being laid off.  We now both have a new best friend called MARVIN that we have to call every other week for unemployment.   We both are doing good through all of this.  With the holidays it's been hard because of thinking about the kids and just getting through the holidays with that alone and now we have even more stuff running through our heads...but we will get through it.  We have been through worse this year.  I am just ready to bring in the New Year and start up 2009 and see what happens.  We were planning on doing another transfer in February but I think that will be on hold for a few months.  Jason has been lucky enough to be able to lend a hand to our friend Chad out (Lizz's husband to those of you who know Lizz) in the heating and cooling business so that has been keeping him busy.  We spent some time in Chicago to help out our friends in the Appliance Business going around Chicago and helping repair appliances and all of that fun stuff.  Jason enjoyed it and loved driving around in Chicago traffic.  (Yes, I am being sarcastic) I got to stay back and work in the office and do some paper work.  That was fun.  My fingers were itching to do paper work!  I will be down there again next week helping out so Jason will be home by himself missing me next week.  :)
