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!!

Don't tell Jax I said this since he's a boy and boys don't usually like it, but he looks ADORABLE in his uniform! So cute! I'm sure to the other team he looks intimidating. What a great idea for boys to play this. I'll bet it's a hit with all the boys.
