Time goes by.

Well it now been a year (March 20th), that Kelly's mom has past away. Last Saturday was an emotional time for the family. We love and miss you "GRANDMA", "MOM"!

The hockey season is winding down. Tonight starts the league playoffs. Hopefully we can surprise a team or two. Double elimination, so we hope to be playing this weekend. Deric has been invited to a camp run by the Phoenix Coyotes and attended by a few College and Jr. hockey coaches. The camp begins next Monday and runs the entire week. He will be competing against other kids from the state of Arizona. They will pick 6 offensive, 3 defensive players and 1 goalie to advance to Salt Lake City for Regional competition. From there the next move would be the Nationals in Chicago. He still wants to play for the Wisconsin Badgers. We'll keep everyone posted.

The rest of the family is just waiting on the hockey season to end so we can move onto doing other things. We all love going to the rink, but it's time for us all to relax and get away from it for awhile.

I'm waiting to hear from Transpac Avaition Academy (at Deer Valley Airport) on a Supervisory position I interviewed for about a month ago. Talked with them last week and they are still in the process of writing a job description (it's a new position) and maybe more interviews. I have a friend who knows the Presidents A.A., so we'll see. It would be a huge raise.......Crossing my fingers, toes, eyes, etc. etc. etc.........

Jason has finished all of his classes and can finally get his license back if he doesn't have any hold ups from Wisconsin. Things are looking up!

The girls are getting bigger by the day. Cierra and Destiny have birthday's coming up in April. Cierra (11), Destiny (7). Wow, just 11 more years and we will be through round 2 (and the final round), with kids in the house. Brianna had a tough go at it in school in the beginning. Grades were not to good, but the good news is - she has turned it completely around. Report cards came out yesterday and she's a "B" student (hip hip hooray!!!!). All the kids had trouble adjusting when we arrive, but everyone has come through with flying colors......

Easter weekend soon. Mom and the girls will be attending "Disney on Ice" with Grandpa. Then we have and Easter Egg hunt at Peoria Sports Complex and then a Parade. Busy, busy, busy. A very busy life with 4 kids.

No travel plans for this year, just can't afford it right now. Hopefully some raises on the way and things could change. In the meantime, we'll just enjoy the AZ weather and a cold brewski or 12:).

Until next month, "Later Dudes"!!

Willie, get well soon so we can have 1 or 42 beers together!!!!!
