Guns vs Hoses Charity Hockey Game 2012

Saturday night, we went to the Guns vs. Hoses Charity Hockey Game. The game was to honor For The Kids Foundation. We enjoy going every year to support our local officers and firefighters (some of whom I work with).


We got there a little late for the Face Off on the charity game. But it was ok since there was nobody to fight in traffic, parking or coming in the gates. The boys immediately found the fire trucks and made a b-line for them.




Once we got inside the game, we could sit anywhere since there wasn't a lot of people there for the charity game. So we selected the front row and Kyler was SO into it!

Look at the smile on his face:



A few minutes later, he wanted to sit with me:






He and Nicholas got to stand at the glass and watch all the action:






He was screaming HOCKEY!!! here:



One of the officer's I work with (and who I scored our tickets from):

The goalie ~ what HORRIBLE seats we had:


Sherry, Zachary and Nicholas:

Not sure what Chris is looking at; but it's not at me!:

The Sheri / Sherry duo. I'm wearing a red shirt with pink fire hat ; she's wearing a pink shirt with red fire hat.. aren't we cute?!:



Kyler wanted in with us:



I'm so proud of my lil fireman... Kyler LOVES firetrucks but has been scared to be around or get in them...until today. He thought he was all that climbing up and 'driving' the big rig:


He even had his fire truck horn sounding:




He got to climb through the back and check things out:




Look at his smile:




My boys and me:








Another first for Kyler.. the bounce house. He has not been found of them in the past. But here he is standing in line with his big cousins:



He LOVED it!!! He bounced until they called time and then he cried cause he didn't want to get out.. until he learned he had to get back in the line:




Zachary and Nicholas wanted to go in the gift shop and get a hockey stick. So we wondered in there and next thing we know, Aunt Sherry is buying one for Kyler too.

Here he is giving her a Thank you kiss:


Kyler showing off his new hockey stick:


One happy boy!:

Aunt Sherry, Zachary, Nicholas and Kyler:

The "vacuum" as Kyler calls it:

He was SO excited and screaming GO BLADES!:

Kyler got caught kissing an older woman.. Morgan, I'm telling Joey!!!:

This is TOO sweet... Kyler reached over and grabbed my hand and wanted to hold my hand. So I just HAD to snap a picture cause time will fly and he will want nothing to do with holding my hand:

During intermission; they had the police and fire fighters come back out (in their plain clothes and one guy even in flip flops) to do a game of tug-o-war on the ice. It was funny!:

Everblades vs Reading Royals:

The next day, Kyler wanted to ride his bike so bad! YES!!! 3 things he's learning to accomplish now! He rode it for a bit and was so proud of himself. We were very proud of him too. He's learning to pedal.
