Joy's Hockey!!!! 10/5/08

Joy's hockey - she is now on the SJHA Eagles Squirt team and doing great! They had an awesome game this morning... 7:00AM and won! 7 - 2! Two hat tricks for the team! (1 player gets 3 goals in the game) We are really liking the majority of the parents and the coaches are AWESOME! This was their first game! Joy came REALLY close to 2 goals, she took shots on goal, but the goalie blocked them! I video taped it and as soon as I can figure out how to get vidoe on the blogs I will post it on Joy's! :)

School is back in session, hockey is back in session

School started back about 3 weeks ago! Joy and Ben so far like school and their teachers. I like their teachers too! Joy scored average on her reading and math wasl, so if she wants to get the academic award with hockey she will have to work harder in school. Ben has found out he really likes math, he flies through his homework now! :)

Baseball



So you know those days when the other team doesn't show up? We had one today, I've got to say it's probably the best thing that could have happened today! We played parents v/s kids! Here's a picture of what they did to Marc! :D
And that would be Joy directly on top of him in the blue pants!

Ben was tickled to have made it past the parents to first base! LOL

Camera

The posting doesn't show the pictures to the best of their view, however, if you can see, the tulips actually have drops of water on them from the snow, and in the picture of the snow flying, it actually caught the snow in mid flight! I love that it caught Ben in mid movement also! If you double click on the picture it should make a closeup. If you look at the baseball you may even be able to see the stitching on the baseball.

Ok, so I am way behind on updating my blog... :)

Let's see...

Joy: Hockey finished in March, she did great and can't wait to play for Squirt level this year! She has been playing 3X3 hockey and isn't real happy with it, but at least it's ice time and she loves ice time! It's hard to believe school will be out soon and Joy will be in 4th GRADE! How did that happen???? Her class is going to the aquarium this week and I get to go with them! :)

Ben: is playing baseball again this year, I will post more photos of it all. Marc is the head coach and I am the team manager. It's been fun, but fortunately almost over. They actually tied their last two games, which was against a bunch of 2nd graders! Ben goes on to 2nd grade this year, WOW! for the most part he does really well! Turns out he plays baseball as a lefty much beter than a righty!

Marc: Had a nice weekend in the hospital to have a couple of stents installed in him and is almost done with cardio rehab. That has been fun... NOT!

Me: Other than I still love my new job, taking care of the kids, the cats, dog and rat (Who now belongs to Joy, Ben got tired of him...) I have a new camera that I LOVE!!! The other hockey mom at work showed me hers and I played with it a little while... I will post some pictures to show you what it can do! It's a Nikon D70. I need another lens to go with it, but it is awesome already!!!

I will post more later!

Latest Movie...

We loved watching the movie "The Game Plan"! It is so great!!! The Rock does an awesome job!
The little girl who stars in the movie is already well on her way to a career in acting! She is extremely talented.

What's new?

Marc:
We are all rollerblading now, even Marc! This is his newest hobby! :) Joy and I still enjoy ice skating more, but we go with Marc and Ben for family time.

Joy:
Joy received the PHD award for her team this month!!!! Pride, Hustle and Desire! She was so tickled and so were we! She is doing great with hockey and looks like she wants to continue!

There is the possibility that Joy may get to participate in 2 tournaments in March, we are waiting to see if it happens still.

Almost got away with out mentioning it... Joy is a closet "girl" now and is in "love" with a boy in her class named Jonathan... She has taken to writting Joy + Jonathan on paper around the house! Even brought home a coloring sheet from daycare that has a boy and a girl in a dress that she wrote Joy + Jonathan on and colored it in! She is VERY mature for 8! She will dress like a girl when no one else can see it! She got her ears pierced and wants to wear makeup sometimes.
Ben:
Ben is about to turn 7!!! We are getting ready for his birthday party and upcoming baseball season. He is doing awesome at rollerblading and enjoys it!

He has come such a long way in such a short time! He's extremely smart! Aces his spelling tests no problem in school!

Crystal:
Where to begin... I still love my new job! Imagine, working 7-3:30 M-F 20 minutes from home and all of us have kids, so they understand if I have to leave early or if I am out! One of the ladies I work with is another "hockey mom" and is really nice! The other two I really like also!. Work may be moving even closer to home! :D It would cut off almost 10 more minutes!

In the last month I have lost 10 pounds! :D
