Mouth Guard Or A Chew Toy

Every season of hockey or football Cooper has went through mouthpieces like a dog goes through a chew toy. We have bought the nice expensive Nike one to a couple Walmart cheapie and Howie's brands. I am amazed at how they look after about a month. I have been wondering if they make a chew-proof mouth guard. 

While getting his skates sharpened last night I struck up a conversation with the employee as I was looking at mouth guards. He suggested the one pictured below. So I purchased it and we shall see if it truly chew proof because Cooper is a good test subject! It supposedly molds to your teeth better for a tighter more snug fit, and you have to pull it off to remove it. You can drink with it in too. So once his helmet is strapped he doesn't spit it out and it's not hanging on his helmet to play with. It comes in a nice case to store it safely. 

Day 5

Rainbow Looming didn't quite workout for Ralphie!

Braedyn and Daddy day

Charlie took Braedyn to the Carolina Panthers game this past weekend... They left Sunday morning for Charlotte for a 1:00 game. At least it was a little warmer. They had a lot of fun and had a good time spending some one on one time together. But Cooper made sure to tell them he will be going to a Hurricanes game with JUST dad soon too! 

Game Face

I snapped this waiting in the locker room -as it pretty much summed up how I felt by 2:00... After his morning clinic from 9:30-1. He had a game at 2:30!  I was surprised he wasn't exhausted. He was ready! 

It was a great game and just spending time with those guys this weekend I could already tell the difference in his skating! We will be going back to them! He had two breakaways and headed to score when a kid on his own team stole the puck from him I was surprised Coop contained himself on those! It's been a frustrating season but he seems to be having fun so that's all that matters right now! We lost yet another one but they never gave up... 

Day 3 Ralphie

He got held up by the joker and penguin but apparently they caught batman and Spider-Man crashed his bike...

He's trapped:)
