The weekend

Does the weekend ever end and you think to yourself "how in the world did I do so much in just one weekend?" Well I say that a lot. Todd had to work this weekend and as usual it was a very packed weekend. Saturday we had 3 basket ball games. They all did well. JT's team is the only age group (of my kids) that keep a score. They ended up losing by 2 points. It was an exciting game. I helped coach Emily's team and they did great (you aren't suppose to keep score, but I am sure they won as they made way more baskets than the other team). I also coach Dylan's team. They played well too, his game was a close one too. After Emily and Dylan's game in the morning we rushed back home to come to Popsy and Uncle Mikes Birthday party. Todd's cousin Lana and her two boys came in from out of town as did his cousin Michael with his wife Michelle and their two kids. The kids are all close in age so they had so much fun. We had barbque and yummy cake:

Here is my kids with Lana's two boys playing in a big box. All the toys in world and they like the box. They had so much fun with it, it did end up tearing, but they taped it back together

Here is Todd's cousin Michael taking Lila for a ride on the 4 wheeler

Ryan loved riding Uncle Steve's 4 wheeler with his grandpa, Uncle Mike (to us)

Here is Lana holding sweet little Maxwell

Uncle Steve got out his BB gun and the kids took turns shooting at the fake deer target. They were all pretty good shots:

My mom and dad came over to help us celebrate so JT and grandpa went outside to play catch with his new frisbee/boomerang toy:

JT loves his 4 wheeler and loves it more if someone will ride with him so Popsy got on Uncle Tysons 4 wheeler and rode with JT:

The two lone girls had a blast riding around in the jeep:

After the party we had to run to JT's basketball game and as soon as his game was over we were suppose to run to the boys indoor soccer game. The problem was during JT's game Dylan started crying that his ear was hurting, so after JT's game ended I tried to run Dylan over the the Redi clinic to see if he was getting an ear infection, but by the time we got there it was closed so I got him some Motrin and he started to feel better about 30minutes later. Hasn't complained anymore so maybe it was just the wind from being outside playing and riding the 4 wheelers. We never did make it to the soccer game, but did meet some friends at Cici's pizza for dinner.

Then on Sunday morning JT had an 8:00 AM (yes you heard me right) baseball game. Both JT and Dylan's select teams were playing in the same tournament. Well the team they were suppose to play at 8 didn't show up ( I don't blame them, it was cold and way too early) so we waited until 10:00 and played then again at 12:00. Dylan's team played at 10:30 and 12:00. JT and them lost both the 10 and 12 game, but Dylan and them won the first and lost the second. Not bad for a team that was just put together that week and had only had 3 practices. Here are some pictures from the tournament:

Wow, it was a great weekend, but it was over before I knew it. This weekend is almost just as busy. It was great spending time with family and hope we can do it more often. I hope Popsy and Uncle Mike as well as Sarah (we didn't get to see her on her birthday which was Saturday also) had wonderful birthdays!
