Car Wash

I remember a summer day in 2005 when my boys went knocking on the doors of neighbors and volunteered to wash their cars for free.  It was their idea, not coaxing from Mom or Dad!

Of course they began with Mommy and Daddy's cars.

Over the Years {Hockey}

Brandon was born to play hockey!

6 months old - 1997

When Brandon was teething, he would put a hockey puck in his mouth.

As a toddler, Brandon would watch his older brother, Ahren play both ice hockey and dek hockey.  As soon as he walked, played hockey outside with both Ahren and Zachary, but he began expressing an interest to play hockey at the age of 4.
