Only Hannah

Only Hannah would send me SnapChats while getting her teeth cleaned. Love my Girl.

Ice Scrapers

Matthew and a few teammates were the Ice Crew for the UAH game on Friday night. They were a bit nervous they might mess up but they did a great job. No one fell and there was a bit of a snowball fight at the end of the night with the pile of ice collected. The Security Guard frowned on this. Whoops.

Knoxville Hockey Pics

Look at me! Two posts in one day! Hockey Dad has posted the pictures from Knoxville...and I am putting them here...just for you...

November in Nashville

Hockey in Nashville did not live up to the high hopes of good times with the team. The team only won 3 of the 4 games, Matthew was unable to play in the last game because he got hurt in the first period of the 6 a.m. game we had this morning. He finished the third game. (I think his adrenaline was pumping so hard, he didn't realize how much he banged up his knee. The shin guard was broken, M's skin was scraped, and the knee was swollen.)

One of Matthew's teammate forgot one skate at home so the team was off their game for the first game yesterday. Lauren came to the rescue. She drove to the far side of town and high-tailed it to Nashville to make the second game. (Which they won, so she must have been a good luck charm) She drove home after watching the second game. I think there is a good chance she made a detour by The Cheesecake Factory for some coffee and a slice of delight.

After the second game yesterday, we all headed to the hotel...only we found out we did not have a room. Yikes! It was truly a night of "No room at the Inn" in Nashville due to a Preds game, a Titans game, and a big concert. The good news is the reservation Greg made was for another Holiday Inn in Cool Springs. Who knew they had two? Now we know.

I discovered I forgot my phone charger, a crisis these days. I forgot my pillow. Another crisis in these days of cheap hotel pillows. And I forgot my medicine. So, not the greatest weekend.

We will get 'em next time.

PS

And...I didn't even take pictures...Hopefully, the Team Dad Photographer got some good ones.

Down Weekend

What do you do when you have a weekend with no travel hockey? Go to a hockey game with your friends.

And We're Off...

Halloween is barely behind us, Walmart has decorated, and before we can get to Thanksgiving...Christmas is upon us. Under normal circumstances this would drive me crazy. (I'm the girl that found decorating the day after Thanksgiving too early) BUT, today was special, It was for a good cause. It is First Saturday Serve for our church and we prepared the boxes for Operation Christmas Child. So, I'm good. However, I'm a traditionalist and no matter how many times I find Hannah playing Christmas music, Christmas begins sometime after Thanksgiving. After all, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Ever. Being thankful is what it's all about...

Knoxville Videos

We had hockey this past weekend in TN. Fun times had by all. We won 3, lost 1. Matthew had 3 goals. The little D-man scored the only two goals in one game. He might have had more but coach gave him the "No more goals" command and the D-man stood down. :-)
