Weekend in Review

Last weekend we had some great overcast weather and we took advantage of it. Saturday morning I slept in and was still able to get in a good 5-mile run because the weather was so nice. Everly had some soccer testing Saturday morning so I took the girls to that while Justin worked on the backyard. He is laying some pavers and working very hard to get it done. He already rocked our front yard and the final step will be turf in the backyard because grass is just stupid in AZ. Saturday night we went to church and then had dinner at Habit Burger because we had a coupon. Sunday morning Everly slept in late so I took Aspen to the grocery store with me. We ran in to my sister and Ted and Nora. Aspen thought it was the best. They were running around the store like a bunch of nut jobs. We got back home just in time for me to go to my soccer game. Everly was barely waking up. Later that morning she went with my mom to Board and Brush in Glendale to make an Easter project. It was very easy and it turned out super cute. We currently have it hanging above our fireplace. This was our last time we went to Board and Brush. Sunday night we had dinner at my mom's and it was a great way to end the weekend!

Aspen was mad at me because I yelled at her for playing with the outlet by her head.

Aspen was cheering on her sister. So cute!

 

Everly read that book about Rosa Parks and then started crying because it was sad. The sweetest girl.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great and long Thanksgiving weekend. It started Wednesday night when we took the girls to go see Coco. It was very cute and not horrible to watch as an adult either. The girls love popcorn and movies so it was a success. On Thursday morning I ran 5 miles with my sisters before we had our Thanksgiving breakfast. After breakfast we headed up to Anthem for the kids 1/2 mile turkey trot. They did great. Ted even fell and got right back up. We got in some park time before heading back home. Thursday evening we went back to my sister's for dinner. My mom cooked the turkey upside down but other than that it was good. After dinner my mom and sister and I went to a couple of stores for some shopping, but nothing crazy. Friday was the real deal. I picked up my sister to start shopping before 5 AM. My mom met us up a little later with Nora. We spent the morning shopping and got a lot of great deals. Saturday morning my sister and I did a 3 mile trail run before taking the kids to the Home Depot workshop. It was a cute Christmas tree ornament project. Later that afternoon Justin and Doug took Everly and Teddy for an overnight camping trip. They had fun and he made a little video so I will post that tomorrow. While they were gone, Aspen and I went to dinner with my mom and sister and picked up some craft supplies at Michael's. We had fun. Sunday we put up the rest of the Christmas decorations before going to my sister's for dinner. It was a good long holiday weekend with lots to be Thankful for!

Weekend in Review

This past weekend went by really fast and I have a feeling this week is going to go by just as fast. Friday night I had a soccer game and then got up early morning to go for a 10k run. I went early so Justin could go for a ride after me and still have time to make it to Everly's soccer game but I had to call him back early from his ride because Everly woke up with an ear infection after being sick most of the week. He did still get in 14 miles but we headed over to my sister's and she gave her some oils since no where was opened yet. She also had some ibuprofen and I think that helped with her discomfort. She said she wanted to go to her soccer game and was feeling better but she really didn't play well. We got her into a clinic after her game and got her a prescription for the infection and she is doing much better. Saturday night my siblings came over and we celebrated Justin's 34th birthday with pizza and cake. On Sunday I had a soccer game and then after I got home we took the girls over to my sister's house so we could go to dinner with Justin's family for his birthday. He wanted to go to Camp Social which was very cute and fun. It was good to see his family since we don't do Thanksgiving with them. We will, however, be hosting everyone for Christmas breakfast this year so that will be fun. I sure do love this time of year!
