i want to be a Roller Girl

I am sports challenged. I admit that, something about Eye-hand coordination is what i am lacking in, its another reason why i dont play video games. i never was one to complete or win even basic mario brothers.

But then I went to a Roller Derby!!! And I fell in LOVE!... I use to roller skate all the time in Elementary school I loved it. And i was good at it. I want to try out to be a Naptown Roller Girl. 

Its a sport I understand and its not to difficult to learn, skate in a circle dont let anyone pass you, use your body to block. Totally can do that!

So I will, At least I will try.. The next tryouts are in March/April and I will be getting skates and safety equipment at the next bout.

Besides I already have the Derby Girl attitude and a lot of the clothes, might as well make it official.

Jocelyne went to her first bout tonight, she has been wanting to spend special time with just Amos and I so we took her on a date to dinner and then the derby.... She had so much fun!

She got to see her God-mother Laurel who she calls Aunt Laurel, as well as Eric who Jocelyne calls Uncle Eric.
 We got her her own popcorn, dino mask and naptown roller girl shirt.

Im glad that Amos loves the derby as much as I do, that Jocelyne sees the girls skating and automatically thinks of them as strong and they must drink lots of chocolate milk because they go super fast.

(thats the only way we got joss to drink milk was by telling her it would make her grow and run super fast)

When she got her own shirt, was the ultimate for her, at least till she got cotton candy.

So here are the rest of the pics from the evening, Enjoy I did, it was a nice break from the chapter reading I have been doing. 

Laurel and I, BFF since Aug 2001
