Just the two of us

Aidan and I had the house to ourselves this weekend. The girls headed off to South Carolina with Brad to go to my parents house. Brad ran an adventure mudrun race on Saturday morning with my brother and dad. We had lots of fun back home. Friday night Aidan made a fort in our bedroom.....

Saturday morning he had a game in Hiawassee up in the mountains. What about this view from their high school stadium? Amazing!
Can you find my son? Number 10? No that's because even though he rushed for over 150 yards that day and scored 1 touchdown, they always had 3 boys all over Aidan. He spend many minutes under the pile. I am so proud of how he is overcoming his anxiety!

The rest of the day we spent in Helen. We ate lunch down by the river and enjoyed window shopping, listening to music and buying some fun goodies.

I love times like these. With his 7th birthday quickly approaching, I know times like these are going to be few in the future.

I love this boy!

Great

Great Grandparents is what I mean. My Grandparents (on my mom's side) usually stop every year on their way back down to Florida. We had a nice dinner and then took the kids to the park to throw the football around and to go swimming for the last weekend. On a side note...don't know why the pool is closed now because it has been in the mid 90's all week.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL????

It took a lot of convincing on the part of Brad and Aidan for me to let my baby boy play full tackle football. It is the most intense activity he has ever done. They mean business when it comes to football down here in Georgia.

Meet our Dawson Co 5/6 year old Quarterback......

Brad said he should have retired after this game after 3 carries for 210 yards, scoring 3 touchdowns and 3 extra points. Our boy is determined!

Take a break at half time.

Aidan also plays "safety" during defense. The only time he come off the field is during half time. How does he do it?

I guess this makes me a football mom! Didn't think I would ever say that!
