Congrats to Travis

I was just on the APU football site and saw that Travis (Tom and Kim's baby boy) had a great game last night. He is a senior at Azusa Pacific and they had a home game last night that we missed. Travis had 6 sacks, 3 for a loss and the only quarterback sack of the game. Good Job!! They had to have been going crazy in the Bengard section. We had a great day yesterday. We started the day off at Colleen and Gary's for a "carnival" themed birthday party for their grandsons Brendon and David, who are both 3. Aiden was there as were several other little kids. They all had a great time winning prizes and eating the carnival food, corn dogs, cotton candy, etc. I bet the Starrs are beat today!! After they took down some of the game booths, they set up the waterslide they own. I think Gary had more fun than anybody after he was "forced" into going on it. We left there and then went to babysit Aiden so Alex and Jamie could go on a date. Jamie told Aiden that Alex was going to get a haircut then they were going to go eat fish. I guess fish is something that Aiden doesn't like. Aiden got his halloween costume on and he almost wore it to dinner. I finally convinced him that he couldn't get it dirty, mommy would be unhappy. The last thing Aiden wants to do is make his mommy or daddy unhappy. Aiden was golden, we took him to Ruby's and then to Yogurtland, a BIG favorite of his. He squealed with so much delight when we pulled into the parking lot. He was really excited. We ate our yogurt then went back to his house and tried to get him settled, the key word is tried. He was on fire, even bath and books did nothing to settle him down at the right time. As soon as he almost would give up he would ask me "is mommy home now?" No, sweetie, she is on her way. This breaks my heart. I can't wait to see him again. He is in soccer now and has games starting on Oct. 2. I am sure Jamie will post plenty of pictures after he first game. Well, gotta go and watch football, it is Sunday after all.
