Diamond Backs vs. Pirates
Milo's first game was literally the sweetest thing I have ever seen. The hats. The uniforms. The boys sitting on the bench, waiting their turn. I just couldn't take the cuteness! The energy was electric on both teams. Our boys had plenty of Dad's to show them what to do and where to go because they were understandably confused by it all. I can't wait to see how the develop over the season! 
Atlanta Rollergirls: Dirty South Derby
Do you know the rules? At least there is a rule book. We almost understood and we had a lot of fun watching! 
The Game
Roller derby is a confrontation between two teams of five players on the track: four blockers and one jammer per team. The four blockers for each team, so eight in total, will form what we call ‘the pack’. The jammers’ goal will be to go through this pack, scoring one point per opponent they pass. The blockers’ goal will be twofold: prevent the opposing jammer from passing and, secondly, help their own jammer getting through the pack. The team with the most points at the end of the game goes home with the honors!
The Bout
A game of roller derby consists of two periods of thirty minutes. These periods are subdivided in jams that may last up to two minutes. The teams have thirty seconds of rest between jams to substitute players and get back in formation.
The Jam
The first whistle blow from the officials will signal the players to get in motion. On their first pass of the pack, the jammers will not score any points, but will instead be contending for the ‘lead jammer’ status. This status will be granted to the first jammer to go through the pack without committing any fouls. If both jammers should fail to do so, there will be no lead jammer. This special status of lead jammer gives its jammer the opportunity to call off the jam at any point by simply putting her hands on her hips. Once the title of lead jammer (or lack thereof) as been established, the jammers’ only goal will be to score points, which they gain at a rhythm of one per opponent they pass.
The Penalties
Skaters can be given major penalties for certain infractions. A major penalty results in the skater being removed from the game for a full minute of play, leaving their team to compete shorthanded. If the jammer should be sent to the penalty box, her team will not be scoring any points for the next minute!

MY CF ladies
Even after 3 years, I still love coming here almost daily. And these ladies are part of the reason. They are strong, healthy and my inspiration.

My baseball boy
This kid is loving everything about baseball. He can't wait till practice day and is head-over-heels on game day. He is one of the youngest on the field, the league is for 4-7 year olds. So fun to see him so jazzed! 
Gymnastics
My kids have really enjoyed gymnastics over this last session. Millie is excellent at almost every single thing except for the balance beam. And who can blame her! 
Milo is in a boys only class and seems to really enjoy that. This was his last class as he has t-ball practice on the same night. However I think he will be back as he loved the challenge.

Milo's Art Show
Mile was very proud of his art work. 
See here? He did the green glitter and couldn't be more proud :-)
