Hockey Tournament #2, Aiden's Tooth, and Mother's Day

The little brothers cheering squad at Luke and Liam's hockey tournament.  Left to right:  Braiden, Otto, Callan, Brody, and Aiden.  They actually have a few cheers that they do during the game!

Luke and Liam's team gave the mom's roses after the game.  Happy Mother's Day!!
Celebrating a win!
A picture of me and the boys!  This doesn't happen very often so I will take it!

Aiden and his friend Otto who both lost their first tooth at the hockey game!?
New Soccer Uniforms!  Luke and Liam are "Team Mexico" and Aiden is "Team Russia."  Its kind of ironic that Aiden keeps getting on teams with the Gold/Yellow color.  Before he got his uniform, he actually said-"I bet it will be yellow."  He was yellow for T-ball last year, hockey over the winter, spring hockey, and now soccer!


We had a busy weekend with another hockey tournament for the AAA Team that Luke and Liam are playing on.  This was our final tournament before we take June and July off and pick back up in August.  I know the boys could play hockey all the time, but a little break will be nice for all of us.  Its hard to go into the hockey rink when its sunny and 75 degrees outside.  

Luke and Liam's team did well in their tournament.  The competition was a lot harder in this tournament than it was in the one we did at the end of April.  They had several teams that actually came from Canada!  We didn't win the championship this time, but we were competitive and the boys are learning a lot about how to play as a team, how to pass the puck rather than driving through the defense, and how to play various positions on the ice.  Its been a learning process for everyone.  

At the final game in the hockey tournament (and on Mother's Day), Aiden actually lost his first tooth!  Ironically, there was another child playing with him that also had a loose tooth and about 5 minutes after Aiden lost his tooth, his friend did as well.  This was not the result of an accident, both of them actually had teeth that were loose.  Aiden was pretty excited to get a visit from the tooth fairy.

Special wishes for a belated Happy Mother's Day to my mom and my mother in law.  We love you both and we are very thankful for both of you.
