Weekend in Review

Last weekend was filled with lots of activities. I burned a lot of calories, that's for sure. Friday night I had a soccer game so I headed out there shortly after getting home and eating dinner. I am really like the outdoor 6 v 6 coed better than indoor and it is also cheaper. I stopped by my mom's house that night after my game because they had to put down her Golden Retriever who was a couple days shy of 9 years old. She had been having health problems for a while and was no longer getting up or eating. Sad, but glad she is no longer in pain.

Saturday morning I met my sister for a quick 5 mile run before I headed to take Everly to her last soccer tryout. We decided to keep her at CCV this next upcoming year and start her in the Integra program. It is close to home, not terribly expensive, and she will be playing with girls that are better than her so hopefully she learns from them. Saturday night we met everyone at Scottsdale Quarter for some splashed time. Sunday morning we got up super early to hike over in east Scottsdale at Tom's Thumb. My mom, 2 of my sisters, my sister and law and her friend all went. It was a great hike and we messed around and took some pictures before heading back. Sunday afternoon Justin was working on building my sister's table so I took the girl's to the park and then Everly went swimming in the afternoon. Pool weather is officially here. We went to my sister's for dinner Sunday night for a great end to the weekend!

Weekend in Review

Last weekend the weather started to really warm up. It worked out well for our plans Friday night. We headed out to Scottsdale Quarter to enjoy their Spring Movies at the Quarter. Last Friday night it was Finding Dory. They cover the splashpad and there are little patches of grass that you can set up chairs/blankets on. My sister picked up pizza on the way and it was a lot of fun. The kids probably ran around more than actually watched the movie but that's the best kind of situation for them. On Saturday morning I got up early and ran 6 miles to my sister's house and then we ran 4 miles to go get bagels because I wanted to get in a long run. The weather was great and I ran in a tank top at 4:30 in the AM. Can't complain. Saturday Everly had a soccer game. She didn't score six goals but she did do well. Sunday morning I had a soccer game and then was pooped the rest of the day because that sun makes you tired. We went to my sister's for dinner Sunday night and the kids played around with water balloons and the water table. We may have to hit up a splash pad next weekend! It is pretty hot here in the summer but at least we don't have to deal with the snow that the east coast is getting right now!

 

 

One of the best times of the year in AZ.

 

 

Everly has a fan club. 

 

These kids are nuts. 

Weekend in Review

We had a really good weekend. My house is still messy but I felt good Sunday night and I have a 4-day weekend coming up so I can clean then! Friday night Justin met his sister for happy hour and I took the girls to run an errand at the mall. We stopped by Trader Joes afterwards because Everly loves the little shopping carts and I love their dark chocolate pretzels and cauliflower rice (not together). Saturday morning I met my sisters for a 4-mile hike/run at Pinnacle Peak. It was a good hard hike and felt good. We met my mom and nephew for a quick bagel and coffee after. After I got home we got the girls ready and headed over to Scottsdale for some splash pad time. It was my girls first splash pad of the season and my nieces and nephews met us there. We ate lunch in the grass and it was just a really nice afternoon. Everly, my mom and I stayed longer and did some shopping. Everly is really a great little girl. I treated her to a little outfit for her American Girl doll because it was only $10.00. After shopping Everly fell asleep in the car so I just went to church a little early and let her sleep as long as possible. She was still grumpy for church but what can you do. Sunday morning I slept in a little but still got in a 6-mile run. It was hot so I won't be able to do that much longer but I was proud of myself for not cutting it short or bailing all together. While we didn't get the house all cleaned, we did clean out the garage so that Justin can park in there. We got rid of a lot of junk, so yay! Sunday night we had dinner at my sister's for the first time in like a month as her house has been adjusting to life with 3 kids. I got my baby-wearing time in so I'm set for the week! Haha! Can't wait to kick but this week and enjoy the long weekend! Here are some pictures from the weekend and a video from the splash pad:

this obviously didn't last long.

love where you live!
