Yesterday, was a HOT one. Peewee's soccer game started a little later, so we all enjoyed the heat of the day. Connor's cheeks were as bright as his jersey (p.s. He gets his cheeks from me). He had an outstanding game! He began practicing with his coach, working on how to take the ball from his opponents. Auntie Katie & Auntie Nicole were there among Connor's cheerleaders, so it was extra special! I was equipped with an umbrella for shade & vitamin water for Mr. Red Cheeks, so Peewee made frequent visits to the sidelines to visit with his fan club in the shade. He was very proud to announce he scored 23 goals in practice & told his coaches he was going to play defense. I love how he likes to call the shots, even with speaking to his coaches. He was in the game for about 80% of the time! HUGE progress!
He even got to do kick off for his team!
Before the game was over, Peewee parked himself close to me & his Whitaker fan club. He had decided his was no longer playing. Maybe it was the heat. Maybe he was tired. Maybe there was no good reason, but I didn't care. My little guy had made a huge breakthrough with playing with his team happily, so if he decided he was done for the day--that was ok. He kept telling me he just wanted to sit out until the 'tunnel' at the end of the game (when the fans make a people tunnel for the kids to run through). It's his favorite part of the game :).
After the game, we had a very special treat. Peewee spent the remainder of the day with our family. I long for weekend family time with Connor, so I enjoyed every minute of it. We headed back to Nana & Papa's to play with Bobo, swim with Papa, and get ready for the Meyer/Lagana wedding.
How handsome are these two?!
I'm always the one wanting family photos whenever we get the chance, so the wedding was a great opportunity. Everything was great...except Peewee was not on board with wanting to smile. His buddies, Aidan & Brody, were part of the wedding party & Connor was getting impatient waiting to play with them while they did post wedding photos. He declared "He was angry," right before we wrangled the entire fam together. Figures! Peewee may not have smiled & Bobo was not present, but still a good family photo :)
The Brew-Whits
*I'm in love with my sister's 'new hair.'
*Less than 1 month until she's done with her Doctorate (DNP)!! So happy for her!
I wished these two lived closer.
Matt & Eric looked like twinsies :)
I look rather large, but its the price you pay!
The Mother of the bride--Pip! God blessed us the day Mom met Pip. She is such an amazing person & it was beyond wonderful to see her so happy last night. She & her family are an extension of our family. We had a great night celebrating with them.
Connor had a blast with Pip's grandkids! Aidan, Brody & Connor took over the dress-up photo booth! They each took turns posing while the other took the picture (with the little petal on the floor). The photographer will be delightfully surprised to see a good 1,000,000,000 pictures of goofy boys after the wedding!
Cheese for the camera! They were TOO funny! Aidan (who is 5), at one point, threw his hat down on the ground & goes "Oh my gosh! Gosh darnit! I can't believe that! I blinked!"...
If they weren't taking pictures, they were dancing down the hallway along side the dance floor! They were hilarious.
At one point we made it outside to mingle & the kids made their way to the golf course sand trap. While I cringed at the sight of Peewee rolling in the sand, it was the perfect place to entertain kids. They were jumping off the top into the sand, hiding golf balls & recovering them with the rake like an Easter egg hunt, and just being dirty kids. Connor made a new friend, Owen, which he hung with for quite awhile.
Spending the evening with my entire family was extremely refreshing. Watching Peewee play with the kids just topped it off. Yay for a lovely night!
