Here it is Thursday night already. Where has this week gone? Between Aidan's Soccer game on Tuesday night, and Lori working a night shift on Wednesday night, and Aidan's baseball practice tonight, it's no wonder our world's stuck in overdrive. Whew, let me catch my breath.
Speaking of Tuesday night's soccer game, Aidan had his best game yet. It made up for the slow, tired game that he played last Saturday. Aidan scored 7 goals himself, and personally prevented 2 other goals when the other team had clear breakaways. His hustle was unmatched. Through his 6 quarter of play so far this season, he has scored 14 goals, and the other teams have scored a combined 2 goals while he as been in the game. A great start to the season I would say.
Aidan and his teammates had their best baseball practice of the year tonight. They are really starting to understand what they are doing, and each boy is swinging the bat with more confidence. It's really neat to watch the maturation of the boys at this age. You can almost see the light emanating from their heads when the bulb suddenly turns on, and they understand what you are teaching them.
Aidan's swing is sweet, and he looks great at the plate. His bat speed is fantastic for a boy of his age. I really hope that he sticks with baseball as he is growing up. His instincts are so natural on the field, and I really feel like he could become a very special player. Most people will probably roll their eyes at that statement, and chalk it up to parental blinders, but I'm not one to blow smoke. His skills are rare for a boy of his age, and his competitive drive is unmatched. Hopefully he will continue to enjoy himself on the field and continue to love the game. If he does........watch out.
Christopher is growing more "boyish" each and every day. It is fascinating watching him figure things out, and he is a real pistol. I still do not know how we got so lucky. Our boys are everything that we could have ever wanted, and then some. Watching Christopher run around the ball field trying to emulate his older brother is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen. I would not trade these times for anything in the world.

A Moment's Notice
William is taking a small hiatus from the blog only for the moment to let his gastric juices settle down after all of his excitement and to let me jot down some thoughts. No worries the master blogger will return in all of his glory to resume his post.
We have all had our little dramas and headaches to deal with on a day to day basis but nontheless something happens when you are engulfed in your first grade drama to bring you back to reality. Our friends in Houston are dealing with a little more hurricane driven drama right now that has still left them without electricity but it is going to be restored soon. We are also hopeful their house in Sea Isle will be in reasonably good order on Wednesday when they return to Galveston to assess the damage. Regardless of what we face on a day to day basis minor or major drama, all of these things become insignificant when faced with a grieving family.
I had two children that I came in contact with on Friday that made me want to come home and hug the boys. I will spare you the details but both children were doing very innocent and normal things like riding their bike and sitting with their family when something happened that instantly changed everything. The miracle is that one of the children, which is incidently about Christopher's age, survived and so far appears very lucky with respect to his injury. The other child and family was not so fortunate and my heart just broke for them. I can't even imagine nor would I want to even fathom losing one of my children. William and I thank God every day for our boys and we are so thankful to have them here with us, to treasure each and every day that we afforded. Life is so precious. Hug your children!

Sometimes It's Not "Good To Be The King"
I need everyone to be on the lookout for the sneaky bandito that pulled a fast one on me yesterday. It seems that someone secretly exchanged all of the beverages that I consumed on Saturday with imported water pulled from the deepest, darkest, and dirtiest well in Mexico. That has to be it, for there can be no other explanation for the revolt that my digestive system staged yesterday. The word miserable does not even begin to describe my suffering. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being mostly dead, I was a strong 10. I'm telling you, I should start going by "King" William considering how much time I spent on the "throne" yesterday. Here it is 24 hours later, and I am just now starting to feel better. Uhhhhggg........next time just shoot me.

Is That You Roy Hobbs?
Man o man, I just got in from Aidan's baseball game tonight and I am still pumped. He played absolutely awesome! He was an out getting machine in the field tonight. Made two great plays at home to get outs when he was playing pitcher, and made another great stop and put out at second base when he was playing shortstop. Combine that with two great at bats, a single and a double, and he was turning some heads. Sign him up.
In case you couldn't tell by now, I am PROUD of my boy! Woo Hoo!

The Battle of Camelot Pass
Well, here it is Tuesday and I think that I have finally recuperated from Aidan's birthday weekend festivities. If you thought Aidan was normally a bit high strung, well throw in a birthday with screaming friends, lots of sugar and lots of presents, and it's enough to send a 42 year old man to the loony ward. With the exception of my mental fatigue, the weekend went great, and Aidan made out like a bandit.
On Friday Lori was off work and decided to go by Aidan's school and have lunch with our oldest Monkey. Even though his actual birthday was on Saturday, she brought along 2 dozen birthday cupcakes for Aidan and his classmates. You know, I always have thought it's a wonderful idea to stuff 6 and 7 year olds full of sugar while they are in school. It usually works out great. I am sure Aidan's teacher thoroughly enjoyed the extra excitement that was created by the wonderful sweets, and can't wait to thank us in person. Here are a couple of pictures of her visit.
Because Aidan's cousins Wyatt and Jackson were going out of town on Saturday, we decided to have them celebrate Aidan's birthday with Aidan on Friday night. We met up with Cricket and the boys at the local bowling entertainment center called Strikz. We rented two lanes, ordered a couple of pizzas, picked out our spherical weapons, and started pummeling pins like there was no tomorrow. Bowling brings back a lot of fond childhood memories, and it's easy to forget how much fun it is. There is something almost therapeutic about hurling a 16 lb ball down a lane as hard a you can in hope of obliterating as many pins as possible. Boooooom!!!!! Yeah Baby!!!!! It's like being a kid again, and it's great stress relief. After the bowling was over, the kids took their game cards over the arcade, and digital bliss engulfed their bodies shortly after. Everybody had a great time, and we all retreated to our house to open presents. Here are a few pictures to help visualize the party.
Once we got home, Cricket brought the boys over for a SLEEPOVER! Oh Joy!! Screaming Monkeys in the house for the entire evening and most of the night!!!!! The cake was cut and the candles were extinguished,
the ice cream was opened, and the sugar river flowed like the Nile. You know, it's never a real party until the party's shades make their appearance. Oh, and make their appearance they did, in resounding fashion. Elton baby, eat your heart out!
After floating along the sugar river for a while, Aidan made a bee line to the presents that Aunt Cricket and the boys brought over. In what can only be described as devastating carnage, the wrapping paper was torn to shreds. It never stood a chance. He opened all his presents with Herculean Gusto, as like I said earlier, he made out like a bandit. He loved all of his gifts, including this Pokemon T-Shirt. I don't know if the shirt has magical powers or what, but Aidan seem to suddenly take on the characteristics of a lizard/bird boy the moment he placed the shirt in front of his body.
The boys finally ended up going to sleep about 10:30pm, and Lori and I collapsed into our bed shortly after. We both looked forward to a good night's sleep, and we actually got to enjoy one until about 4:30am. You see, it was about that time that the three monkeys that were upstairs decided to wake up for the day. "What the............................why are those primates already up?" Lori was nice enough to get out of bed, and let me sleep. Thank God. She ended up staying up until Christopher woke up about 6:30am, and then had all 4 to deal with. It did not take long after that, for Dad to get the ol' wakeup/distress call. So we all got up Saturday morning and wished Aidan happy real birthday. Aunt Cricket came over early, and she and Lori went out to get breakfast for the whole crew. After donuts and croissants, Aidan got to open all of his presents from his Mom and Dad, and was spoiled through and through. Wyatt and Jackson had to leave, but before Aunt Cricket took them home, Aidan challenged them all to a silly string fight. I was lucky enough to have my video camera at the ready, and captured most of it on film. And now, for your enjoyment, I present THE BATTLE OF CAMELOT PASS.
I hope you enjoyed reading about Aidan's birthday as much as we enjoyed living it. The rest of the weekend was pretty tame, as all of the Soccer games and Baseball games were cancelled by IKE. I still find it hard to believe that Aidan is already 6 years old. It just seems so fast. I am enjoying the ride, but I wish it would slow down a bit. He is such a sweet, handsome, and inquisitive boy. We are blessed to have him as a son, and we watch every day with wonder and amazement as he grows and matures before our very eyes. Happy Birthday Monkeyboy.

Deux Sports - Une Garçon
Last weekend marked the beginning of both Fall Soccer and Fall Baseball for Aidan. We were all very excited to get the season underway, and Aidan certainly did not have any problem shaking off the rust from a 3 month hiatus.
Aidan woke early like usual, and was really excited about his "Gameday Baby!". All morning he pestered both me and his mom to let him put on his soccer uniform. Of course, we all know that "almost" 6 year old monkeys are very dirty animals, so we held steady and did not allow him to dress for his 2:00pm game until after he ate lunch. With lunch finished and a quick shower taken, Aidan was dressed in his new soccer uniform in a flash.
Aidan not only had a 2:00pm soccer game, but he also had to be at the baseball field at 3:40pm for team pictures. Because of this, we were not going to be able to go home between his soccer game, his pictures, and then his 4:30pm baseball game. So, we packed an ice chest full of drinks and snacks, loaded up on the sun screen, and left the house about 1:25pm to begin the festivities.
Aidan was really excited to play his first soccer game of the season. He plays for the "Texas Twisters" and his team was playing the "Transformers". It was not until we got to the field that we realized that Aidan would be playing against 2 of his friends from his baseball team. This made Aidan really excited, and for a moment Lori and I were both worried that he might want to socialize a bit too much during the game instead of playing hard. That thought ended about 30 seconds into the game after Aidan scored his first break away goal. In all, Aidan played 2 quarters of the 4 quarter game, and he scored 6 of his teams 8 goals. His team won 8-5, with all of the opposing goals scored while he was on the bench. It was a stellar start to what we hope turns out to be a great season. Here are a few pictures from the game:
Here are team Captains Aidan and his friend Davis awaiting the coin flip.
Here is Aidan just before the start of the game, giving instructions to his teammates.
Here is Aidan, red face and all, watching the game intently with his friend Gojet.
And finally, here is a picture of Aidan, getting congratulation from his baseball teammate buddy Aidan Nelson.
As soon as the game ended, we had to quickly get everything and everybody loaded in the CX-9 and drive across town for Aidan's baseball pictures. Aidan changed in the car while we were driving to the baseball park. That might not sound too difficult to some, but pulling up sliding shorts and installing and positioning a cup while the lap belt is tight across your waist, takes quite a bit of dexterity. We arrived in plenty of time, and we actually had about 15 minutes to sit in the vehicle and enjoy the cold AC.
We got out of the car about at 3:35pm and made our way over to the picture taking tent. Aidan smiled for the camera, and miraculously his team sat still enough for a few seconds to get a team picture made. His team is the Braves, and last season they were allowed to dress exactly like the Major League Team that they were named after. Well, I believe that MLB had a licensing problem with that, so they are no longer allowed to mimic the MLB team's colors. Here are is a picture of Aidan in his uniform, and Aidan in his team photo.
The game was really hot, and Christopher got pretty restless. Lori did a fantastic job keeping him appeased, as I served as the bench coach for the team. Aidan had a really good game, and was one of the few kids that actually hit the ball that was being pitched by the coach. In this league, you get three pitched strikes to swing at, and if you do not connect with one of them, you get three swings from a tee. Aidan never had to use the tee, and we were really proud of him. Christopher was really proud of him too, but for some reason he found it hard to express himself.
After the game we finally got home about 5:45pm, and our outdoor activity quota had definitely been met for the day. I showered and changed, and then met up with a few old friends that I had not seen in 4 years. We played penny poker for about three hours on Saturday night, and I had a really good time catching up. Sunday was spent relaxing and gearing up for next weekend's activities. Not only do we have the games to attend, but a certain Monkeyboy will be turning 6 on Saturday. Yes, Saturday should be a realllllllllllllllllllllly long day. I can't wait.

Delightful Sojourning
Three day weekends are always nice. That one "extra" day always seems to be just what the doctor ordered. This weekend was especially great because Grandma and Uncle Jim decided to drive up for a visit. It has been quite a while since they have been to our house, so we were all looking forward to reintroducing them to our little zoo.
They arrived around noon on Friday, and all was quiet at the home front. Aidan and Christopher were at school, and Lori was at work. I was here and after getting them settled in their rooms, and having a bit of lunch, we starting visiting properly. Before long it was time to pick up the boys, and Jim decided to accompany me to the school. He got to experience first hand the bizarre labyrinths that must be conquered, and the illogical rituals that must be followed in order to pick up one's child. Regimented confusion is the only way that I can describe the requirements.
After picking up Aidan, we stopped off for Christopher on our way home. Ahhhh....how refreshing......park, get out of the truck, get Christopher, and back in the truck in 3 minutes. Oh yeah, give it up for a little normalcy baby!
The rest of Friday was spent chasing the monkeys around the house, and introducing Uncle Jim and Grandma to the ear peircing sound of a one year old pterodactyl. We picked up some BBQ for dinner, and after eating and visiting some more, we all got to bed at a decent hour.
Saturday was spent playing at the house. Since Uncle Jim and Grandma were not able to make it down last weekend for Christopher's birthday, we went ahead and celebrated both his birthday and Aidan's upcoming birthday. Here is a picture of Aidan and Grandma taken after opening his birthday cards.
Aidan made out like a bandit and was itching to spend the money he received, so we piled in the CX-9 and off we sped to TOYS R US. WooooHooooo. Aidan looked at just about every toy in the entire store, and while mom and grandma were picking out some clothes for Christopher, Jim and Aidan and I were in LEGO heaven. Aidan finally decided on a Sponge Bob LEGO set, and some POKEMON items, and soon we were on our way home.
While Jim was helping Aidan assemble his new LEGO bus, I began to prep the kitchen for the special dinner I was going to prepare. After what seemed like hours, I was finally ready to grill the Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese stuffed Jalapeno Shrimp, and the Filet Mignons. A little Surf and Turf was on the menu, with a side order of grilled Corn on the Cob. Lori made a salad to go with the rest, and we all sat down for a feast. MmmmmmmMmmmmmmm it was Gooooooooooood! Hmmmmm....what do you top off such a wonderful meal with? In this case, how about some of Lori's wonderful homemade Lemonade Pie. Oh My!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, the pie was delicious, and after finishing my gargantuan slice, I waddled over to the couch for a well deserved rest. Ahhhhhhhhh.........
Sunday morning came in a flash, and just like that Grandma and Uncle Jim were already heading home. It just seems like there is never enough time. Well, fun was had by all, and the family unit and I spent the vast majority of the rest of the long weekend relaxing. A great visit I would say, and very much appreciated.
