Speaking of Hockey!

Here's a few of our favorite Hockey Monkey . . . 

. . . in Action!  
He's the one in the white helmet 
with a tiny bit of red pants sticking out beneath his knee/shin guards.

Most of the time he's the blurry one, cuz he's moving so fast!

He L.O.V.E.S to skate all-out, full-speed-ahead, fast-as-he-can!  
I'm convinced that's his favorite part about the whole thing.  
Well, that, and all the gear (skates, knee pads, shin guards, elbow pads, gloves, 
sticks, helmet-with-face-grill, padded-undershorts-complete-with-built-in-cup called a girdle)  Which reminds me, can you just hear him loudly shouting, "Mom, did you remember to bring my pants & my GIRDLE!"  hee! hee!




After every game he N.E.E.D.s to spend some time at the skate park adjacent to the hockey rink -- Sometimes in his hockey skates, but this time he brought his skateboard.


You might notice that he is FULLY protected, uh, except for his feet.


Even the "punk's" moms make them wear TENNIS SHOES!


btw "Punks Not Dead" . . . ?


. . . But, apparently Punk - tuation IS!!!



NOTE TO SELF: NEVER, EVER drop Porter off at the skate park by himself...

I sit here thinking...Nels isn't so great at soccer, maybe he would love hockey...do I want him playing hockey...?

Yea Sue! So glad to have a new blogger friend :). Porter is a pretty cute hockey boy - have you tried ice hockey yet?

We are ALL loving your blog over here - even though we live so close sometimes we take that for granted and feel out of touch anyway!

I want to bring my kids to Porter's hockey game - you'll have to give me the details and we will be there to cheer on Porter and his team - we'll be his own cheering section.

and, THANKS for lugging all of that stuff over and dropping it off early this morning - dang that air-compressor thing is heavy!
We'll have you over to see the lovely finished product - hopefully before the thanksgiving/christmas season starts....:-)
