What a weekend!

What a great weekend it was!  Kayla had a double-header weekend at soccer, unfortunatley due to the rain at 8:00 am their team pictures were cancelled...again.  First game was at 9:00am, yes...still raining...and very cold but the girls pulled off another blow-out game winning 7-0 against the Galaxy girls.  This was a very sweet win for all of us as this also is the team that holds the 2 girls that have given Kayla so much grief over the past year or so.  Also at this game one of the dads decided to come and stand next to me as he uses for one of his intimidation tactics..this time it didn't work but boy did I get to hear all the wonderful things that came out of his mouth... it didn't hurt that Kayla did some scoring, great defense and was all over the field showing us (and them) what a true athlete she really is.  We all left beaming with pride along with the girls as they continued their undefeated title since last fall.  They repeated their winnings at the 4:45 game beating that team 11 to 0.  Way to kick some soccer ball girls!

This is a photo from last Saturday, I didn't want to bring my camera out in the rain and wind that we had yesterday.

Part of the team that we took to the game last Saturday, they were a little tired from Kayla's birthday sleep-over with 6 other girls but none the less ready for a 9am soccer game.

We also had a great weekend visit with my sister, brother-in-law and my nieces and nephews.  We were not able to do as much as we had hoped outside on Saturday but none the less it was a great visit.  Once upon a time we used to spend a great deal of time together, many many weekends together but now that most of the kids are involved in hockey through out the winter and summer activities...as well as more hockey it can only happen on those rare weekends that both families are free.  Guess we'll take them as much as they come.  Maybe someday we once again can liver closer than 2 hours apart.

Here is a picture I took last year of all the kids as a suprise present for my parents.  Jordyn (14) is on the far right, Makayla (10), Nick (9), Justin (11)  and Amanda (6) on the bumper.  They are a great group of kids that I hope will let me do more photo sessions with me this summer!

Now our weekend winds up and I can feel the Sunday blue's sitting in with all of us as we prepare for another week of school and work...all the while it is sunshine, blue sky's, and little wind...will we ever get a full weekend of great weather??

I haven't had a chance to photograph it but we have a mother robin nesting in our pergalon again!  Hopefully I will get a great view of her this week.  This is the third set of babies we have had!  Last year we had two sets of babies born in the same nest...does anyone know if the same bird will nest twice in the same nest or would that have been a different robin?
