End of February already?!?!



Hello Family!
I do believe, with the exception of one picture, that this will be a "Caleb Blog"
He is so hard to pin down for a photo or to find him doing anything but school, sleeping and hockey. Fortunately, this was a month for hockey and we got a lot of it :)




Caleb facing off against Juneau - they won 8-1




another action shot





The game against Juneau was also "Senior Night".
My friend and fellow hockey mom, Kelly, and I put this event together. It's tradition that Junior parents do most of the work so the senior parents can enjoy the night along with their players.




We had posters and balloons, gift bags, flowers, cake and lots of pizza!





Here are the seniors minus 3




Ok, Emily's token picture is of her tricking Stephen.
She lured him over to the house under the false pretense that she needed his help with a science fair project - something to do with your sense of smell. The poor guy didn't know what hit him! We came to later find out that he had had a really bad day. We felt horrible, but he said it actually cheered him up.




Caleb asked Leah to the Senior Ball one night after a hockey game. He used whipped cream on her car and made a cute sign so she couldn't refuse :)
The night of the Ball all the girls got ready at Jenna's house and the boys scurried over after a game to beautify themselves as well. 




The gang... that's Caleb in the middle. Leah is really tiny. 
I think it's adorable how most of the girls are still taller than their dates :)
After ball, they all went to Denny's. Caleb asked Leah to be his sweetie and she said yes!




Gabe, Keal (goalie), Caleb and Marcus
Holding the High School MAC Regional Conference championship plaque!
Way to go Wolfpack!




Winning the MAC brought us to the state championship in Wasilla. 
We were joined by Rodd's parents  (Wayne and Cindy) and sister (Bunny).





After 2 amazing games, the boys entered the Championship game against West Anchorage.
Sadly, they lost 4-3.
This is their 2nd place photo - no smiles there...





Hockey banquet party a few days later.
Caleb got two awards...
(Those are his coaches behind him)





One for "Best GPA" and one for "Unsung Hero"
So proud of this boy!



Hockey is over and he doesn't know what to do with himself. 
He's looking forward to baseball, but that's still a few weeks away.

Emily is healing from her slight concussion after being dropped out of a stunt in cheer practice. 
Her squad will compete in March in Anchorage at the state cheer competition, then cheer on the boys and girls basketball clubs as they battle to win their state tournaments as well. Our girls are undefeated, but the boys have their work cut out for them. GO PACK!


Love you all
(Is it July yet?)
