Laura got a really good picture of the three of us during Asia's birthday celebration weekend. She even managed to get J to smile for the photos. He had to be tricked into it. But hey, whatever works right?

Sunday, April 26, 2009
Sunday was a jam packed day. We had a lot going on. But those kind of days are always fun.
After church, which JJ decided to come to with us, we had lunch at a southern restaurant in McDonough. J had to head home so he couldn't join all of us. But before he went we got a couple more pictures. Asia wouldn't get out of the car so it was just him and Sean for one and then the two of us.
After lunch, we had our shopping trip I already wrote about. And then the neighbors came over and invited the kids to go swimming at their pool. Almost the entire neighborhood was there as far as kids were concerned.
The water was freezing cold. But at that age, I don't think they really care. Their lips were turning blue after awhile, they were shivering and loving every minute of it.
Sean got out and posed showing his washboard abs. He's fallen in love with the weight room and workouts with the football coach at our school 3 days each week. He's 70 pounds and is now reps 80 on the bench. Coach says he had perfect form in all of his lifts. He better. :)

Shopping!
JJ and Grandma Pauline gave Asia some money for her birthday. She had absolutely no idea how much it was. But she knew they were dollars and that's all that mattered. And then Johnny gave Sean some spending money so after church and after we had lunch we, the kids and I headed off to Ross.
We were in there for about an hour, browsing and trying on clothes. They both came out with several items and still hadn't spent all their money. They decided to pool their money together and buy another wii game at gamestop.
When we got in the store Asia saw all the DS items and immediately changed her mind. But since she doesn't have a DS I was steering her away from making the purchase. (She's getting one in the morning on her birthday.) And then she and Sean couldn't decide which game to get. So they decided to save their money for another day.
All of the outfits the kids picked out themselves. They both know what they like and have their own fashion sense which is kind of funny.

Birthday Weekend!
Asia is turning 6 tomorrow! Can't believe how fast she's growing. So Johnny, Laura, Nana came up on Friday and made the kids day. Then JJ, Kim and Julie came on Saturday. All of us minus J went to Asia's soccer game on Saturday first. Then we headed back to the house to wait for J to get there to start the festivities.
We grilled Kabobs and had corn on the cob and rice pilaf for lunch.
And then we had cake, homemade ice cream and let Asia open presents. She really didn't want to eat. That was just in the way of her getting to what was important, presents!
She really loves clothes and especially trying them on and modeling for everyone. So once she had opened all of her presents, she put on a show for us showcasing all of her new fashions.
She ended up keeping on the basketball outfit that Mom and Dad got her and played the rest of the day in her new "workout" outfit she called it. There were just too many outfits to show them all. And then she wore the pink dress that Kim got her today. She looked so grown up.

Game Day!
It's been raining almost none stop it seems for the past couple of weeks. Asia has hardly had practice and the first game was actually cancelled last weekend. But thank goodness, the sun came out yesterday and dried out the fields somewhat. So let the games begin!
Her game time was 9 this morning. And let me tell you. It's no where as intense as football. We showed up at 8:30 prior to game time to be ready and check in with coach. Well, we were the first ones there. And when I mean first, the only other people there were two church members setting up the fields. Her coach ended up getting there just after 9. So now we know that we can show up at game time and we'll be okay.
Well, the game got started and Asia was on the bench for the first "round". When she got in the game, she kind of stood around, ran a little but mostly watched the other kids kick the ball around. She touched the ball one time the first time she got in.
The second time around, I thinnk she found her sea legs because she was all over the field. She was in and out of clusters, pushing and fighting her way through. I was so proud. She really got aggressive and went after the ball. She almost scored near the end of the game and was driving down the field and was all alone when the buzzer sounded. Next time.
And Sean was definitely the proud big brother. He actually stopped what he was doing, playing with buddies, to watch his sister play. I think he yelled loudest out of everyone there including me. He gave her pointers when she would come off the field and was encouraging her the entire time.
And Sean did get a hair cut a couple weeks ago. He surprised me as I was in the kitchen. But if you ask me, I think Sean misses his long hair. He can't do his break his neck while swinging his hair out of his face thing anymore.
