Aden's First Soccer Tournament

It's Thursday night again. My cousin Carol is coming in from Florida this weekend. We are trying to get together a family lunch for 25 people. That's like really hard to pull off! It will be great to see everyone though. It's our first weekend without soccer in 2 months. We are debating Winter soccer in January, but for now, we have our Saturday's back! So last weekend, Aden had his first CRUSA soccer tournament. He had 3 guaranteed games. The teams that won all three would go to the championship game that night. We had a wedding to go to that night and it was going to be such a long day already, I wouldn't have been very disappointed if they lost a game or two. (don't tell Aden that).

This popped on Facebook that day. Cute.

9:00 am. Game 1 against the best team.

Some action shots. Our boys were dominated.

Go Finn!

I love getting Aden and Jake in the same shot.

Go Ben!

Some live action.

They lost game 1. All the parents were secretly happy but the boys were really upset.

They call this Jackpot. I think we used to call it Baby in the Air. I love watching them make up games and play them.

Some shots of them playing around before Game 2.

Some strategy for Game 2 at 11.

Our boys did great.

Aden was super serious.

Alway ends up on the floor.

They won game 2!

They always went over the game when they were done. I will get to game 3 and the aftermath in the next post.

While we were at soccer, Ariel had dance. They wanted the kids to dress up. They also surprised Amy by putting on a show for the parents. These are her pictures.

Cute! Have a great weekend!

Trunk or Treat

Does anyone else have way too much trash by trash day? We used to have 2 pick ups a week. The once a week we have now is not enough, especially when you have 2 babies in diapers. Somehow it became my job to take it all out every week. I can't wait till Aden is old enough to take over. I hate going out there when it's cold.

Back to last Friday. Boys, I don't think that's what the train table is for.

When they get older, it will be fun to set up the trains for them.

Where are you going Noah?

In to the garage to help setup daddy's car for Trunk or Treat at Aden's school.

Bev helped is get it ready.

Everyone got involved.

All set up by 5:00.

They had a lot of room for more cars but they stopped accepting them. I'm not sure why.

The kids had fun running from car to car trick or treating.

They had a really yummy barbecue truck there.

I didn't get a great picture of my trunk but it came out cute. We had two buckets deep down in the trunk. One was full of candy and the other was full of slime with some candy on top.
