Weekend in Review

Summer is basically here and we are already in full on pool season. On Friday I had the day off so I spent some time with Aspen and took her to a splash pad. On Saturday morning Everly had a quick soccer tryout before we went to the Water Safety event at the Pointe. Last year Justin and I were at the Kentucky Derby so my mom and sister took the girls but we have been several years and you can see them HERE. It was very busy and we didn't get a great spot but the kids had fun and the lazy river is always nice. After that Justin and I headed downtown to get ready to go to dinner and a concert with his sister. She bought us these tickets for Christmas so we have been excited to go for a while. I had won a gift card to CIBO so we went there for dinner. It was super busy so we ended up ordering to go which worked just fine. The concert was great and we had a really fun night. Sunday was Mother's Day so we met the girls up at breakfast the next morning. I had a very nice mother's day the included a nap and a workout and a delicious brussels sprout and pancetta pasta dinner. It was a good weekend!

New Years 2018

We had a great New Years holiday! We had planned to go to a block party with Justin's siblings downtown and stay at his sister's apartment that night. It worked out because my mom recently moved into a new place and the girls were so excited to spend the night there. They did some New Years Eve celebrations with my sister and the kids before spending the night. They also saw Ferdinand that day which I was cool with because I didn't really care to see that movie. Before Justin and I met up with his family downtown, we went to a little New Years Eve dinner. We were trying to take advantage of the fact that we didn't have kids so we went to Taco Guild. It was really good and they had happy hour so with drinks and an appetizer I think our total bill was like $30. I have been on a margarita kick lately and theirs did not disappoint. The salsas and tacos were super yummy as well. After we ate we hung out at Justin's sister's apartment for a while before heading to the block party. We all pre-gamed pretty well. There were a lot of people out but it was a fun night. Since it was outside, thankfully it was not super cold. I also ran into an old friend who was in town from Chicago completely by random so that was super cool. I know it was a good night because I barely took any pictures. I also actually stayed up past midnight so it was basically a miracle! The next morning I was definitely tired but eventually I got my crap together and ran a couple miles with Everly while she rode on her bike. I had been doing a 4-day running streak that went from Thanksgiving to New Years Day and so it was my last day. Everly did great on her bike as well. I am so excited for all of the fun things coming up in 2018.  Disneyland trip in about a week and a half, 2 new baby nieces/nephews, and a trip to Octoberfest in Germany. Happy New Years!
