Train Park day with Aspen

I had an extra day off with Aspen this week so we decided to take advantage of it and do something fun. After we dropped off Everly we hit up Halloween clearance at Target before heading up to Anthem to go to the train park. Aspen was very excited to be at the playground. She is becoming much more adventurous too. She has always been initially a scaredy cat so it is fun to see her growing out of that a little. Hopefully she is even more grown out of it by the time we go to Disneyland next year. She did great at the park and then we took a train ride before hitting up the swings. I just loved watching her face on the train. She has the best expressions. It was a fun morning and I am so lucky that I get this extra time to spend with her one-on-one. I love having girls (at least for now)!

The fact that this unicorn didn't scare her is also kind of a miracle

She went all the way up to the 3rd level by herself!

see what I mean about the expressions!

I love that little face!

Weekend in Review

Last weekend was the last weekend of "Winter" but it sure didn't feel like it! It was pretty toasty and full of sun. On Friday night, I stayed home with the girls while Justin went to get a beer with his sister because he had been single parenting it all week. Saturday morning I slept in slightly, but still got in a 5k and some gym time. Saturday was Special Needs Day at the train park so we met my sisters and mom there. We actually were watching our niece's son so Everly left early to go with my mom and Teddy and get a bagel. That girl is spoiled. The train park was fun. It was warm but the kids had a blast. There was a petting zoo, blow up slides, bounce house, face painting and lots more. We were pretty beat after all of that time in the sun so we just picked up Chipotle for dinner after going to church Saturday night. Sunday morning, I woke up early so I could get my grocery shopping done before I headed out to my two soccer games. I got all bruised up but we won both games so that always makes the day a little better. Sunday night we had dinner at my sister's with yummy pudding pies for dessert. A great end to a busy weekend. Looking forward to all of the Easter fun next weekend!

We found $7 boots to complete her Ladybug girl outfit!

That's fast for me!

these two are crazy!

Saturday Fun

Looking back, this past Saturday was kind of crazy. I ran a 10k in the morning, we fed Aspen her first solid food, we went to an event at the train park followed by lunch at Portillos and then watched my sister's soccer game at GCU at night. No wonder I didn't get all my cleaning done! The event at McCormick Stillman Railroad Park was called "Exclusively Little," It was just a special day for little kids and they had games, face painting, a petting zoo, bounce houses, and of course the playground and trains! The weather was pretty great and the kids love this park so it is pretty much always a great idea. It is where we had Everly's 3rd birthday party last October and we are already planning to go back in a couple of weeks.

After the train park we were all pretty exhausted so nap time was a must. Everly didn't even make it on the freeway before falling asleep. We rested for the afternoon and then met my family at night at my sister's soccer game. She had a scrimmage against NAU at Grand Canyon University. It was so nice outside and Everly loves running around with her boys at Katy's games. Aspen got a little tired at the end but was pretty much an angel, too. The hardest part about both the train park and the soccer game was getting Everly to leave at the end!

Getting some jumping in!

They both did pretty good but Teddy was really into this bunny. It was adorable.

Aspen and Cam waited patiently while Everly and Ted got their faces painted. Cam was so into the kitty's whiskers. It was super cute.

The carnival games.

Their favorite part was picking out prizes. Teddy picked out cars after each game and Everly picked out princess wands.
