A Fun Saturday!

We started off the morning with an 8:15am soccer game and wow! The Rockets were outstanding!!! They looked great! Ian had quite a few shots on goal...had a quite a few breakaways and he finally was able to kick a hard shot into the goal! My mom and grandparents were there to watch. It was wonderful to see my grandmother walking around with her 4-pronged cane! Goodbye walker!!!!!!!!!!! She looked very nice since she just had her haircut by Justin and she just looked sooooo happy. Then there is my grandfather! He sat closer to the field and right on the bleachers. He was one proud great-grandfather cheering on Ian and watching Gavin interact with the siblings of Ian's teammates. We came home and did tons of work around the house catching up with laundry and cleaning. We watched some of the NCSU game on tv, too. Ian and Gavin did their share of cheering on the Wolfpack!

After Gavin's nap, we all headed over to Sophia's birthday party at her house. Ian and Gavin bought her a fishing pole and even gave one to Ella. Now all four can go fishing together just as we had planned! Tom and Lori put on such a wonderful party. The kids had a ball just running around in the backyard. It was a circus theme, so they had a neighborhood friend there for tattoos and face painting. I believe the girls had their faces done and the boys had these pretty cool tattoos put on. Ian and Gavin had Spiderman tattoos! They had the bean bag toss, balloon popping, parachute, sand toys and bubbles. Snacks were popcorn, pretzel/marshmallow mix, drinks and they even had a sno cone (spelling??) machine that Tom was running. The cake was yummy, too!!!! Oh, how could I forget to mention the pinata??? All the kids had a turn to hit and then Lori's niece ended up with the winning swing. The kids cleaned up with the candy. Yes, I believe the Turner boys cleaned up house! They love their candy (ugh!!!). It was just a fun day with soccer, housework and celebrating Sophia's big day!

Here's the link to a slideshow of pictures. The first one is Ian at Back to School Night on the Monkey Bars.
