Aidens First Mudcats game








So part of my birthday present Ashley got us tickets to a Carolina Mudcats baseball game. We went Mon. night and brought 2 of Aidens friends with there parents. As we pulled in, the excitement started. Aiden was going nuts over the stadium and all the players. When we got there we decided to go sit on the front row where the players were warming up for a bit. We were about 3 feet away from the other team stretching. As you know Aiden is not shy and decided to call out to every player that walked by, "Hey, baseball player!!" He talked to a few of them and met the other teams pitching coach. The coach liked how enthusiastic Aiden was for the game. Aiden kept showing him his glove he brought saying he was going to catch a fowl ball. Right before the game started the coach came over and threw Aiden a ball over the fence. He was in shock. A little later I saw a Buddie of mine that worked there. He ended up upgrading our seats to the 4th row right behind the first base. He also gave us free passes to a practice pitching booth for the kids. He later showed up with 3 balls signed by the Mudcats team. The boys loved it. Here are a few pictures of us at the game and a video of Aiden and his friends.

So I'm a little late but at the beginning of June Aiden graduated from Pre-School. His school put on a great graduation. If you haven't gotten to see the video we took on the video camera you must!!! It was too cute! Aiden's class put on a show for us on stage with several songs and dances. As you all know Aiden is not shy. He belted out the words to those songs. He had the entire audience laughing at the volume he was singing in. We had many parents tell us he stole the show! The video is too long to put on here but let me know and I'll figure a way out for you to see it. Here are a few pictures of him in his gown at his graduation.
