A weekend of celebration

Aidan's football team had the honor to play in the state football playoffs last weekend. It just happened to be on his birthday. I don't think if you had told him in July when football started, that he would be playing football on his birthday...he probably would think you were crazy. Chosen by the state as one of the top 8-6 year old teams, they were invited to play in a state tournament against the best of the best. Because of the temps being as cold as they have, we have had to practice inside. The team we played is an "all star" team from their region in Macon and only play with 8 boys on the field (which in my opinion is not football...you play with 11 boys in football). Anyways, we wanted coaches on the field and to have that, we had to drop down to 8 players. Huge difference for our boys. We ended up loosing the game, but the second play of the game this happened......

Yes, that would be Aidan scoring a touchdown on this birthday. Even though he rushed for over a 100 yards, they came up short. No person could have given him a better birthday present, than to score a touchdown. We are so proud of how hard he has worked. Mommy is sure glad she doesn't have to sit over 8 hours a week at football. I think the girls think the same thing! Until next year.....
Aidan and his shirt. Can you find Dawson Co. Aidan thought it was pretty cool that they were at the top.

The Kudlas family isn't doing any formal birthday parties anymore (at least for a few years), so this is what Aidan chose to do after we had lunch at O Charlies.

This time with family is so precious. I don't want to waste it with silly parties and lots of gifts. These memories they will hold so much more!
Carsyn even got to bowl this year with a little help from Daddy and Grammie.

When we got home, he opened gifts from the fam.

And ate the requested oreo icecream cake.

What an awesome weekend filled with lots of memories.

Happy 7th Birthday Aidan!
