Pirates & Hockey Players

Things have been going pretty good here in Alaska. Its starting to get colder-its been in the low 20s, high teens, but its been sunny, so it has actually been pretty nice as long as you are looking at it from inside. We have been keeping pretty busy, so I thought I would drop a quick blog to let everyone know how much fun we're having.

To begin with, Kierin seems to be on a pirate kick. He likes a Scooby Doo episode that has pirates and he plays a lot with the pirate playset that Meemaw got him for his birthday. He also got a pirate costume from an older kid of one of Jessica's friends and Kierin really loves the eyepatch. So much that he sleeps in it!


Kierin has also started up hockey again. He enjoys getting out there with the other kids and skating around. He is doing so great-he is such a good little skater and he is getting more comfortable out there with his teammates. He even scored two goals in practice this morning!


Speaking of hockey, we went to see the UAA Seawolves choke up a two goal lead to lose 5-3 to the Minnesota-Mankato Mavericks. It was still a good time as you can see-one of the WCHA officials gave saw Kierin standing along the glass and gave him one of the actual pucks that was used during the 1st period. It was a treasure!


Connor also enjoyed the game, too. He liked to stand right by the glass and watch the "doalie" and the "Boni" go by. He got to touch an actual "Boni" today at Kierin's hockey practice. He likes hockey and will probably be out there on skates in the next year or two.
