Weekend Soccer Fun

This weekend was one of the most fun weekends we have had in quite a while....and the funny thing is that we really didn't do anything major! Just relax and enjoy each other's company. Saturday afternoon Dalton had his first soccer game. He was by no means the most aggressive player on the field but he ran and laughed and had a lot of fun. His soccer playing reminded me of what Mom used to say about me when I played basketball in the 7th grade...he ran the whole time and never actually touched the ball! Haha! Fortunately for him, there is a big difference between a 7th grader and a 3 year old so I'm sure he will "get it" eventually! Anna had a great time laying on a blanket in the shade and soaking up the sights and sounds. Here is a cute pic of Dalton, Anna, and Zack before the big game.
I have to include the sweetest thing that Dalton said to me on our way out...he was holding my hand and walking through the parking lot and looked up at me and said, "Mommy, did I do a great job and are you so proud of me?" I thought that was the sweetest little thing and it just made me so happy to have such a precious little boy. Of course I told him that I really couldn't be prouder!We had planned on going to the fair after the game but it was so hot and Dalton was pretty ill and tired so we came on home. I really hated to miss the fair as this is the first time since he was born that we have missed it, but there's always next year! Saturday evening Jenny came over and had some wine with me while the boys went to Zack's office to do a little work. So nice having such great neighbors! After we put the kids to bed we grilled up some of our fave Costco ribeyes and had a delicious dinner.
Sunday we went to church for the first time since Anna was born. She sat in the sanctuary with us and never made a peep. Such a good baby! Dalton is at an age where he is really enjoying church and loves to go, which makes me really happy. This week he came out with a little construction picture of a strange looking man and told us it was God. What do you say to that??? A little disturbing! We told him that no one really knows what God looks like so it might be better to just use his imagination. LOL
I will leave you with a delicious recipe that I actually made for dinner tonight. I have really enjoyed cooking and trying all kinds of new recipes since I have been out on maternity leave and this one tonight might be my fave...Butternut squash lasagna. The perfect fall comfort food!
