A Dream Come True

Last Thurs­day, my step-dad took Tyson to the MN Wild Hockey prac­tice and they then got to visit with the team in the locker room after prac­tice.  For those of you that know Ty, and his obses­sion with hockey, you know what an amaz­ing expe­ri­ence this must’ve been for him.  I thought he would clam up and get all star struck, but that’s the beauty of the age he’s at, he has NO fear!  He talked to the guys and even called them by their first names, just like he’d known them all his life and hung out with them every day!

Here are a few of the high­lights from his day!

I think I need to teach Grandpa how to focus his cam­era

Sport­ing his new Wild jersey

Head­ing into the locker room

Hangin with Brent Burns

This is Nik Back­strom, one of the goalies.  He and the other goalie gave Ty a signed goalie stick!  The thing is HUGE!!!

Der­rick Boogard

Josh Hard­ing, the other goalie we have

Here’s one with the giant stick.  Good thing it’s stay­ing at Grandma’s house!

Rob­bie Earl I think?  I think he’s a new guy

Shep­pard, mommy doesn’t know his first name, so last name will have to do.

He’s so spoiled, isn’t he?

Learning to Skate

So, we’re about 4 weeks into our skat­ing lessons at ProEdge Power. Ty’s mak­ing S L O W progress, but progress nonethe­less. Grandpa Mur­ray took some video of him last night. Excuse my mom’s and mine chuck­ling and com­men­tary in the back­ground every time he falls! LOL

Here’s a bonus one of Miss B too chillin (lit­er­ally) at the rink with me. Ignore my hor­rid hair and roots please!
