Hockey Time!

Of course Jax didn't want Dylan to be the only one to try a new sport so he found a new one to try himself.... in line roller hockey. I was actually really surprised when he said he wanted to try this. He had got a flyer from school about it and to be honest I think he was more excited about getting new skates than actually playing hockey. The deal was if it is your first season you get a pair of skates for free when you sign up. These weren't just any skates, they were the "fast" ones! As it turns out Jax is pretty good at hockey. He usually scores 2-4 goals a game. Jax and one other boy on his team usually score most of the goals. He has one practice a week and two games a week. I love this sport for two simple reasons, it's inside (huge positive when it is snowing outside) and they games are only 30 minutes long. It's been a good season and Jax has really enjoyed himself. Of course he can't stop talking about next year when he will be able to play tackle football and hockey will just be thing of the past. These boys of mine what am I going to do with them!!

Everyone gets to play goalie at least once... this is serious business!!

Are you ready for some football??

As most of you know Dylan loves football. He has wanted to play tackle football for quite a while and this year he was finally old enough. I was a little scared but Dylan is a big boy for his age so I figured we would try it out and see what happened. His coach was a little high strung for me and quite aggressive but over all Dylan had a good time. He had practice 3 times a week for 1 1/2 hours and then games on Saturday. They had a rough start but finally won their first game today. He will miss the last game next week b/c we will be out of town so I was really happy they won today. He plays right tackle on offense and nose tackle on defense. He was also the punter. He thinks he is going to play in the NFL someday so here is the future star!!!

Go Dylan.... Go hit somebody!!!!
