Chidi had a training session from 12:00 - 1:30 pm at GSA. You can see Baboucarr and Raif kept themselves busy...



Baboucarr's about to steal the ball Raif!!!




Happy-go-lucky Raif, all smiles...regardless...

Mother's Day Sunday May 10, 2009

After we saw X-Men Origins we went to Baboucarr's for a little while....



No more pics (something's up with my 'new' camera). We did enjoy a delicious dinner comprised of grilled chicken, grilled lamb and potato salad.

We took Nicky and Chidi to Stevie B's for pizza. It was Nicky's 11th birthday.. sorry the pics I took inside were horrible. So here is an after-pizza shot, as we prepare for some cake...



At Nicky's house...



Two buddies from next door came by for some...



Do you see those moustaches? They won them in Stevie B's game room.



Kinda like the four stooges...



With these two as ring leaders...



As they go off together to find some trouble....

0425thru262009 Lazers Cup Tournament - Peachtree City

A fabulous weekend in Peachtree City. The weather was phenomenal. We could not do much sightseeing, although we did spot one or two infamous golfcarts when we went to Publix. Chidi's team, AC Milan went undefeated to win the Championship. Two games on Saturday (8:30 am and 1:45 pm) and two on Sunday (8:30 am and the final at 1:30 pm).
The team awaits the trophy presentation

Chidi receive's his first place medal from Coach Sean

AC Milan - Champions



The runners up were a tough team to beat; they played their hearts out

On an overcast and drizzly Sunday, we rode out to Alpharetta for our 12:30 pm game against Alpharetta Ambush. Nicky and Baboucarr tagged along.


Chidi was suffering from an early morning tummy ache, can't you tell? Think it is anxiety or Too.Much.Oatmeal? I hope it does not affect his game.





Baboucarr and Nicky watched the game from the sidelines...



Offering up interesting commentary from time to time...sorry no action shots this time.



What a treat to meet these two 8 month old great danes; one weighed 130 lbs!!! All in all, a pleasant afternoon.





Later that afternoon, we all went to watch Nicky's game against Stone Mountain.



Chidi and Baboucarr are kings of this sandhill.

Another trip to the Bright Water creek
Chidi leads Raif across the rocks over the creek; Nicky looks on from yonder

Raif contemplates the rough waters to be navigated

Chidi, Baboucarr and Nicky spy some fish

A closer look

They make it through unscathed! No snake sightings this time...
