Weekend Cornucopia

After enjoying the RUSH concert on Friday night, Christopher and Aidan woke up bright and early Saturday morning and made sure that mommy and daddy did not "waste" anymore time sleeping. We piddled around the house for a few hours, and then left to attend Aidan's Tball game about 9:25 am. Aidan's game went well, and he hit the ball better than he ever has. He actually hit two balls past all of the outfielders, and if you do that in this league, you get to take two bases. He was pretty excited about that.

After his Tball game, we headed home for a little rest and relaxation before Aidan's soccer game. We have found that Aidan plays much better during his second game if he has a nap between games. Aidan was able to nap for almost two hours, so we knew before we left that he was plenty rested and we hoped it would show on the field. We were not disappointed.

We left for his soccer game at 3:20 and he played phenomenally. Aidan scored 10 goals in the two quarters that he played, and his team won 10-7. The other team scored 1 goal while Aidan was in the game. Counting this game, Aidan has scored 28 goals on the year, and the opposing teams have scored 4 goals while he has been in. Pretty stinking remarkable.

Although Aidan has one soccer game remaining in the season, all of the parents decided to have the team's end of the season party after the game last week. It just fit everyone's schedule better than having it next Saturday. All of the parents and families went to Double Daves pizza after the game, and had a great time. All of the boys received their end of the season Trophies, and all were very excited. Here is a picture of his first sports trophy.After we got home from eating pizza Saturday evening, we decided to take a trip to see my mother and brother. My mother purchased a new car and last week I picked it up for her in Denton. While Lori and the boys (and Mystic) piled in the CX-9 to follow me to my mom's house, I got in her car and started to enjoy the 160 mile drive. Here is a picture of her new car.As you might have guessed, I had a blast driving it down to her house, and I am insanely jealous about her having this car. It is an absolutely fantastic car. We all had a great time visiting on Sunday, and got back home last night a little before 10:00 pm. All in all it was a great weekend.
