Great Weekend of Hockey

After getting home at 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning, Corey had a hockey tournament this weekend in Gilbert starting at 7 a.m. Saturday. Corey and the Capitals lost their first game, 3-1, to the team that eventually lost the championship game in OT. Corey saved 14 of 17 shots and TWO penalty shots! He told me last night this game was his favorite of the tourney. Corey actually didn't play as well in the second game Saturday, making only 7 saves on 11 shots, but the Capitals won, 5-4.

On Sunday, the Flyers needed a goalie, so Corey played for them, and it was one of his better games. He only allowed one goal (and it was short-handed after a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty), saving 7 of 8 shots. In his second game, the Capitals rolled to a 6-3 victory to win their second game of the weekend and just their fourth win of the year. In two days, Corey was 3-1, allowed an average of 2.75 goals a game and saved 35 of 46 shots (.761 save percentage).

Happy Birthday Jude!

We're pretty much packed up to leave this afternoon and hope it all fits in the car. We're getting Corey at school at 3, and then the fun begins!

Coyotes Games

Carrie got us tickets for the Honeywell suite a couple of weekends ago, which was great! However, it was an 8 p.m. start after a birthday party after hockey so Corey was pretty tired by the second period. We had fun, though! In fact, as part of the "We Win, You Win" promotion, we got four more free tickets! Corey and I also went to see the Coyotes-Wild game. Even though he wore his Wild jersey, Corey was cheering for the Coyotes (who won again, 2-0).

Busy Week!

After a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with Grammy and Grandpa and the Evahnenkos, we've been pretty busy. Corey and I went to the ASU hockey game with Jason and Zach last Saturday night, and then Corey spent the night at their house. We all went over there for lunch/dinner the next day for Zach's birthday. Corey loved his "24 Hours with Zachy!"

On Tuesday, Brody's preschool class had a field trip to the Phoenix children's museum that I went with him for, and then we met Carrie fun lunch at Chase Field. I also was the class helper on Thursday. Friday night we watched Polar Express and Christmas Vacation.

This morning we went to play in the snow at a local mall. Corey's hockey team fell behind 7-1 early, but rallied for an 8-5 defeat. Carrie made us hats in the Capitals team colors. Now Corey is at another birthday party and we're resting (watching Polar Express again) before going to the Coyotes game tonight!
