The season is coming to an end. . . only 5 more games for Taylor & 4 more for Spencer - and then they have to get ready for the playoffs!

I am still going through our holiday & trip to Colorado photos ~ I will post more soon.

Can't wait for Spring. . .

Spring 2010 ~

We have a Champion in the family ~

Spencer's team won their division in a hockey tournament in Chicago ~  Taylor's team went 2-2 (they were in the hardest division in Bantam}  it was a fun weekend.  January 14-17th, 2011.

I am not doing well at my resolution to keep up with my blog ~  I will get to it starting this week.

Taylor's Wild Hockey team is now 15-1 after winning 3 games this weekend.

Spencer's team has won 4 games now {so they are not in last place any  more in the NTXHL}

Here are a couple of Picnik photos:

For 2011 - I want to blog more about what the family is doing. . .

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Colorado over New Years . . . after I get caught up on the laundry and putting away the Christmas stuff - I will post more about our trip and keep up with this photo journal- Mullen Madness each day {grin }  ~  well , maybe every couple days.  

Happy  New  Years!!   {{{2 0 1 1 }}}

Happy New Year!

Hockey & Soccer . . .

Taylor's hockey team is tied for first place - (8 - 1)   ~ they have won all their games except for the very first game!!  ~  they play the team they are tied with on Sunday (it is another Houston Wild Team) - update on that next week ~  Spencer's Team is on down ward slide - but I hope they can turn it around soon.  They have lost every game but their first game.  It seem in competitive youth hockey - one year you do well and then the next year the team can't win a game - but they are getting better because they are playing in a competitive league.   So good luck Spencer's team the rest of the season (three boys quit the team!)   Spencer is a goalie - but I wish they would let him skate out sometimes - he can skate fast and would be good for the defense - but the coach likes having two goalies ready to play.  Tommy's house team has not won a game yet either - they have tied and they have lost - but they are getting better each week.  Tommy made it on a select team that will play 12 games and it has kids that can skate better and faster than some of the beginners.   It is fun to watch them - they lost their first game 2-3.  He plays again on Sunday.  On to Soccer - Spencer's team went undefeated this season - 6-0-3  (3 ties) ~ but no loses.
The coach let them dump a cooler of water on his heads at the last game.  Tommy's team lost or tied all their games but the last one ~  the won 2 - 0.  It was great ~  he got to play goalie for a bit.  In 3rd grade is when they move up to the "big" field and it is a lot of running.  Soccer is over - now on to Church league Basketball after the holidays and the 2nd half of the Hockey season.

Check out my boys:

I Love my Pumpkins. . . .

(we will catch up soon on all the Mullen happenings soon) 

Artist at Work ~

I haven't posted in a bit because I was working on this:

I and some other moms made this for the 3rd grade auction project - it sold for $2000,  the parents that bid on this  are really nice and a asset to our school.  I will do a big post tomorrow and catch up on what the Mighty Mullens have been up to.
