The Mavericks

We enjoyed cheering the Mavericks on through their championship season. Aidan was especially excited to be a part of the action.
Thanks to some good ticket brokering, Darren was able to score two tickets to the final game in Dallas. I have never seen Aidan so excited about anything in his life. He was a super fan.

Too busy to even take a drink...

The celebration after the game. Aidan was still going strong.

After the final game (which was in Miami), Darren & Aidan went to the sporting goods store at almost midnight to get some of the first of the 2011 Champion gear.

Mexico

In June, we had the opportunity to attend a friend's wedding in Mexico. We decided to bring along the kids and make it a family vacation.

If the pictures make it look like all we did was eat, drink and play by the water, it is because that is all we did. It was a very relaxing trip.


First tastes of the sweet drinks...

...and they were hooked.

Hanging out on the rooftop.

Lemonade Stand

While we were having our garage sale, Aidan had a very successful lemonade and cookie stand. He even sold out of cookies and had to make a second batch. He was a great salesman and generated business by standing by the street waving and getting Kiersten to be cute too. He made almost $30.

Kiersten at School

Even though I teach in the same building where Kiersten goes to preschool, I don't get to see her during the day. I had her sweet teachers take some pictures of her during their day.

Nap Time

Being silly at home while wearing Aidan's sandals.

One morning I had a little extra time so we played beauty parlor. This is what she would look like with straight hair.

Aidan at School

Here are some pictures from Aidan's school events around the end of the year:

His artwork was featured in the Art Explosion show (although you can't see any of his pieces in this picture).



He celebrated Texas history with cowboy day. He is pretending to swing a lasso in the picture.

He participated in his schools fundraising run. He ran 31 laps.

Taking Kiersten on his 'victory lap'.

He learned about US history and the Statue of Liberty.

He finished his second year of AWANA Cubbies.
