Willow Grove, PA


Last week it snowed a bit in our area.  My husband went out to take pictures of the scenery.

VFC vs Quakers

The Quakers are leading the division of league my son plays in.  VFC played well, it was impressive.  The last time they played the Quakers they lost 0-10 (ouch).  The boys came out on FIRE this game and for a time they were even winning the game.
This is my son hip checking a boy right off his skates. Wahoo MOOSE!

Lake Placid

Brandon's hockey team got to participate in a tournament at Lake Placid.  Lake Placid was where the 1980 Olympic games were held. The USA hockey team were the underdogs and went on to beat the Russians.  This accomplishment was considered a miracle.  Hence the name of the movie "Miracle on Ice".  
Although VFC team was listed as a B team, they played up to A for the Can Am Tournament.

8th grade Dance

Last spring Brandon had his first formal dance.  He went with his (now-x) girlfriend, Jenn and friends, R.K. and Samantha.

Brandon and I spent HOURS looking for a pink tie that would match Jenn's pink dress.  It was impossible to find that shade of pink in a tie.  So we settled with a light pink tie.
Samantha, Brandon, Jenn, R.K.
The pictures were taken in our back yard.
It's funny to look back on these pictures because Brandon is now a head taller than Jenn.



They made a cute couple, but Mommy wasn't ready for her baby to get serious.  I was kinda happy when the "relationship" only lasted 6 months.

Fore!

Remember I told you about my son, Zachary?
He is my golfer!
Zachary spends a lot of time with his Dad on the golf course.
This course was in Williamsburg, VA while we were on our summer vacation.

If you look close in this picture you can see the golf ball in the air.

My handsome boy!

Life Is Good

I am addicted to hockey t-shirts and was ECSTATIC when I found a 'Life Is Good' hockey Tee!
In case you haven't noticed, I talk a lot about hockey!
I'm sure it gets monotonous hearing about hockey, hockey, hockey….
~
You may surprised to know I have another son! Yep! Really!  
His name is Zachary and he loves to play Golf.
Zachary is on the high school golf team.  In fact, when Zach was a freshman, he had the highest golf average on his team!
Unlike hockey, I cannot attend Zachary's golf matches.  I can't cheer him on, I can't take pictures, I can't hug him when he wins, I can't embarrass him….

and unlike his brother...LIFE IS GOOD…. for Zachary!
