me and my fellers

hockey hockey hockey

Anyone who knows John and I knows that we are pretty big Oilers fans...but what some of you may not know is that it has already rubbed off on the boys!  One of the first words they all said was hockey...and they say it all the time now!  I just wanted to get a few "hockey" stories down so that I don't ever forget them!

My dad, sister and I took the boys to watch one of John's hockey games awhile back and they tell me about it ALL the time now!  "mommy hockey, anya hockey, papa hockey, daddy hockey, ella no hockey, puppy no hockey" - translation - mommy went to hockey, aunty went to hockey, papa went to hockey, daddy played hockey, fella did not go to hockey, and bones did not go to hockey.  

They also call their jersey's "hockey".  When they see a hockey game on tv they all want their jerseys on...like right now!  They are fairly impatient when it comes to getting them on.

Nathan said his first "sentence" the other day...and you guessed it, it had to do with hockey!  The Roys were coming over to watch the game a couple of weeks ago so John had brought out all the jerseys, and I was in the kitchen getting some snackies ready.  John put the boys' jerseys on and his jersey on and left mine on the banister so I could put it on when I was done in the kitchen.  Nate got my jersey, came over to me, grabbed my black hoodie and said "black off, mommy hockey on".  SO CUTE!  This talking thing is SO FUN!!!

RIght Now

It is 10:36 am on a Sunday and all four of my fellas are hanging out in bed...the big guy is tired (he got up with them all night to let me sleep, thanks sweetie), and the three little guys are not feeling well.  This house has not been this quiet during daylight hours in 2.5 years...and it is making me crazy!
