Weekend in Review

I had such a fun and jam packed weekend and the only thing that could have made it better is a nap and maybe an extra day! It started off Friday night with two soccer games that I had to go to almost directly from work. We tied and won one so can't be mad about that. I did scrape up my knee a bit again though so that was annoying because my scrape from outdoor last month was finally healed up! By the time I got home the girls were in bed and then I got up and left the house while it was still dark to head out to Tempe for Pat's Run (will post separately about it later). After the run I met Justin with the girls at the pediatrician because Aspen has been holding on to a sinus infection for a while. Girlfriend is still traumatized from all of those ear infections and cried when we put her on the scale (22 lbs.) and then screamed when the doctor came into the exam room. Luckily, she calms down again pretty fast. After the appointment I took the girls to Lakeshore Learning for the free craft Saturday. It wasn't a really cool craft but it was something free to do and Aspen loved playing with all of the toys on display. After lunch Everly came with me to go to the library to check out the booksale and also run a quick errand at the mall. Later that night I went out with my sister, her boyfriend, and my sister-in-law to go to dinner and a music festival. We saw Nate Reuss at AltAz and it was really fun. We had dinner first at the Pizza People Pub and it was a great choice. The weather was also really nice and it was just a great show. Sometimes I think I am too old for that kind of stuff but I am really glad I went. The next morning Justin had a trail run so it was just me and the girls until he got home. We made cinnamon rolls and then my sister and Mae came over for a little bit to play. Everly had a birthday party to attend for a girl at school so I took her to that since it was during Aspen's naptime. It was a really cute Sophia themed party and Everly was so excited that they had a bounce house. She also made out with a pretty awesome party gift bag so she wasn't even mad when I made her leave a little early so we could meet my mom and sisters to get pedicures. It was her first time going and we went because my sister is going to have her baby this week. Everly seemed to enjoy it and looked like she was going to fall asleep in the chair. Also, one of the nail techs has a little girl almost the same age so they had lots of fun playing together while we finished. We made brownies and stayed home for dinner last night and it was a good end to the weekend. Everly was so worn out she fell asleep on the living room floor! 3 more days until baby Nora is here!

 

 

 

 

I really needed this pedicure!

Weekend in Review

No birthday celebrations this past weekend but the weather was pretty great again. My dad was in town so we had pizza with him at my sister's Friday night since I didn't have a soccer game. This also allowed me to get up early and get in a 7-mile run with my sister. I had an annoying cramp the whole time but it was nice to run with someone else and like I said, great weather. We hung around Saturday until the afternoon when Everly and I met my mom and sisters at the movies to see the new Jungle Book movie. Thankfully, Justin agreed to watch Aspen and Mae so my brother-in-law could come, too. I actually thought they did a pretty good job with the movie. On Sunday we got some shopping and cleaning done before going to my sister's for dinner. Nothing too exciting but it will be soon because my sister is having her baby in just a little over a week!

  
Aspen fell asleep in the car Friday night and stayed asleep. That never happens.

Weekend in Review

We had a great weekend with lots of activities. We also finally got some rain and cooler weather. I love when it rains here, although, it did make my hike Saturday morning pretty humid. Friday night I had an indoor soccer game and then Saturday morning I was right back at it with an early hike with my sisters. Later we worked on taxes and then I went down to Tuscon Saturday night with Everly and my mom to watch my sister play soccer at U of A. They lost but it was still fun. Everly is such a great travel partner. I am actually excited to take her on a plane again this summer. Aspen, not so much. Sunday we went to my niece's first birthday at the park in Fountain Hills before it started down pouring. We finished the party at her house and were kind of exhausted so we got in a nice Sunday nap. My dad also got into town so we had dinner with him Sunday night which was also nice. We have a pretty slow weekend coming up so it will be a nice change to our normally busy routine.

Everly Sandra, 4.5 Years Old

 

I just got Everly's spring school pictures back so I thought it would be a good time to post an update about what is going on with Everly at 4 1/2 years old. She is definitely full of personality and imagination. She is a wonderful big sister and has recently started picking her sister up sometimes. It is going to be so cute to see her with her new niece at the end of this month. She is doing really well in school and hopefully we find out soon that she will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. She is a pretty good little eater for the most part but also really loves her treats. She is phasing out of taking naps but that is okay because when I get to spend more time with her I have a lot of fun. We really lucked out with such a great little girl! 

Weekend in Review

This morning I woke up and was not ready to start another work week but I actually don't feel like we were crazy busy this weekend despite getting a lot done. Friday night we went to a spring training game. I had to leave early to go to my indoor soccer game but it was still fun. I don't think I watched much actual baseball but I'm not really upset about that. On Saturday morning we grabbed a bagel and went to the Home Depot Workshop. It was one of the bigger ones where they have a bounce house and they even had a dinosaur there. It was pretty cool. The craft was a butterfly house which was pretty easy and now we need to get Everly a caterpillar. They also had Italian ice samples which Ev and Ted liked. Saturday afternoon we took Everly to the Deer Valley School District office for her early-entry Kindergarten screening. She misses the cutoff by 5 weeks so if we want her to start Kindergarten this year she has to pass this screening. We will find out in 2 weeks how she did. After the screening we took the kids to my mom and sisters so we could go get burritos with Justin's sister and brother-in-law. It was nice to enjoy some kid-free dinner and beers. Sunday morning Ev came with me to my soccer game and then we picked up lunch from my brother on the way home. Two soccer games clearly wasn't enough for me so Everly and I went to watch my sister's soccer game. On Sunday night we celebrated my brother-in-laws birthday with pizza and cupcakes and baby Mae went to town on a cupcake. Can't believe she turns 1 this weekend and then we are going to be adding another girl to this crazy group by the end of the month.
