Colton's Birthday and Soccer Games
First of all, we would just like to say thank you to our family and friends. Everyone has helped make Colton's 9th birthday really special. He LOVED everything that he received including the gifts and phone calls. He had a wonderful birthday weekend!!
On Friday, we drove Matt to Cary/Raleigh to meet his friends so they could go to the HORRIBLE game in Greenville. We arrived early, so we went shopping! Colton was able to buy a new goalie jersey. Then, it was over to Toys R Us, because the money he received for his birthday was burning a hole in his pocket. Then, we dropped off Matt and Colton and I went to Red Robin Restaurant, which is a yearly Colton Birthday Destination. He says the Fish Sandwich is his new favorite and that it was "love at first bite".
Saturday we went to Raleigh with my parents to go to the IMAX theatre where they were showing a movie about the ocean in 3D, which Colton really liked. Afterwards, we went to the Japanese restaurant where they cook in front of you. It was absolutely delicious!! Then, it was time to watch the dreaded WVU game. BOOOOO!!!! Poor Matt called a few times from the game and as Colton says "he wasn't happy".
Today, Matt arrived home around 10:00 am. Colton opened more gifts, was able to talk to some more family and then it was time to meet the team for the caravan to the double header. Colton played in goal and they won both games. It was EXTREMELY HOT!!!!!!!!!!! I do not know how the kids did it. We were in the shade and baking!!!! During the 2nd half of the first game, I didn't think Colton was going to make it and then he made an awesome save, so I guess he had enough energy to finish. During the break in between games, we sat in the air-conditioned car, ate grapes, drank water, and Colton had a Go-gurt. It worked and he was ready to go for the 2nd game. He did really great and we were very proud of him. After the last game, the team and parents sang "Happy Birthday" to Colton and then the team had Colton do "butts up" (see picture below-it is easier to see if you click on the picture to enlarge it). If you don't know what it is, here you go...a player (or several just depends) get in the goal, grab his ankles or covers his head, and others kick soccer balls at his bottom. Sounds interesting, huh? The boys think it is hilarious and enjoy doing it for some reason. Anyways, we arrived home and had Colton's fishing cake. What a great weekend.

Colton fresh out of the shower and playing his really cool Guitar Hero toy. He puts this little amp and belt on. Then, he plays air guitar with a special pick by strumming it in front of the belt. Then, plays various songs as he strums.
