So, the weekend was a typical Sheridan weekend except I've decided to share this weekend's schedule. Saturday morning AJ has hockey practice at 10am. Saturday afternoon Ryan leaves for LA to play with his team in a scrimmage in between the 1st and 2nd period of the King's game. Ali has cheer practice from 11-1. AJ has a game at 3:00 in Riverside (30 min. away). Sunday Doug, AJ, and Ali leave for AJ's game at 5:30am for a 7:00am game. Ryan graciously gets picked up by a teamate giving Laura an extra hour to be at his 7:15am game. 6:45am Laura and Jack leave for Ryan's game near Disneyland. 10:30am the whole family is home and napping because at 3:00pm we leave for yet another game of AJ's. 8:00pm Home.
Now, most of you may know this but for those of you that don't, our family life revolves around this sport we call hockey. We play it, coach it, study it, watch it, and think about it constantly. Just to give you all an idea, my actual due date with Jack was April 26....I had him April 5th. Not because I went into labor but because hockey playoffs in San Jose were going to be that weekend and I had to beg my ob/gyn to let me deliver early insuring that my husband would be in town for my delivery. So I went and got an amnio the day before to insure that little Jack's lungs were good to go and they were. AJ and Ali's birthday is usually spent in Colorado Springs, Thanksgiving is usually at some hotel with the team either in Portland or Chicago and this year it will be in Vegas. My own wedding day, my husband played in a hockey game. So, you see, we are the ultimate hockey family. As my son AJ would say, "It's not an obsession, it's a lifestyle." 
Oh, and by the way, it's my brother Adam's 31st bday! Happy Birthday Bro! Love you! FYI this is Adam at his 30th bday last year which was a costume party....he normally doesn't dress in leather.
