Bella's first time on skates

This will always be a treasured moment for her dad.....

Everyone giving a helping hand to Bella

Dad and Bella tying up their skates

A little wobbly, but doing good so far!

Even though he didn't have skates, we couldn't leave him out.....
he went for a slide on his boots

so precious!

Mommy's Little Helpers

What wonderful little helpers I have...if only they could be so

willing in about 10 years??

Yes, I know....wishful thinking.

The girl has got Talent!

Jason and I were both VERY impressed with what Bella drew...

as you can see in the picture she drew a sun....I'm assuming they do this at school.

Still, pretty darn good for a 3 year old!

She started to draw shapes and told me she could draw a circle...

they don't say 'circle' in german....so who knows!

Maybe watching some good ole Blues Clues paid off!

Daddy's Rinkrats

Daddy took the kids for a skate after a win at home...

the kids just love it!

The Contest winner.....Mask #2!

Johnathan Becker Wins Goalie Mask Design

Saskatoon Blades are pleased to announce that Johnathan Becker, a Grade 6 student, has won the 2007/08 season Saskatoon Blades goalie mask design competition.
All kids were encouraged to visit the Blades website or get an entry form at Blades home games to receive their mask design templates and, from there, colour their goalie mask design for judging.
The Saskatoon Blades received a very strong response and narrowed the list down to the top five finalists. Using the poll on www.saskatoonblades.com, the Blades left the final voting up to their fans as well as the general public and, after nearly two weeks of voting, Johnathan Becker’s design was determined the winner with 1,205 votes out of a possible 2,357 votes.
Becker’s mask design will now be custom painted by a professional painting artist to eventually be worn by Braden Holtby or Garrett Zemlak in a home game this season.
Johnathan will then be presented with the mask for him to keep as the winning designer in this season long competition.
Congratulations to Johnathan and THANK YOU to everyone who took part in voting!
