Weekend in Review

We had a great last weekend before Everly had to go back to school this week. Friday night I had my championship game in the 6v6 league I have been playing in. We played really well and won so we all went out for a drink after the game. Saturday was Home Depot Kids Workshop day so we headed there in the morning. The project was a Penske Truck. It was kind of busy and annoying to build but the girls had fun. We kept it pretty relaxed the rest of the day and then Saturday night I went out with my sister and brother-in-law. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait for Vegas in a couple of weeks. Sunday we stayed home for almost the entire day and got ready for the back to school week ahead.

Champs!

 

We made her a custom pink paint for her truck because of course.

Aspen went with a classic Home Depot orange.

 

Yes, I am aware of how lucky I am to have married into an awesome family!

 

Friday Fun Day

Last Friday I was off from work and it was the beginning of Everly's last weekend of Summer. Our pool got hit hard by some monsoon winds so we decided to head over to my sister's pool. Her pool was actually really cloudy too but the kids still had fun. Aspen and Nora love the freedom of the shallow beach entry. Nora is straight nuts though. You cannot take your eyes off that girl for half a second. Cam is really independent and great at exploring the pool. Ev and Ted usually entertain themselves and did pretty good at not fighting. It was a great morning and start to the weekend!

Aspen is not supposed to still fit in this suit.

 

she is 100% nuts

love this girl!

A Day at The Pointe!

Last weekend my sister moved out of her house right before moving out of state so she had a couple of days where she was staying at the Pointe Hilton at Tapatio. She invited us to bring the girls out and go swimming and they had a blast. It was definitely sad knowing that we would not be seeing my niece any more but other than that it was a good day. Everly and Teddy both went down the waterslide and I got in some quality play time with Nora. They also blew up a waterslide and had water running down it which the kids had a blast on as well. Actually, Aspen hated it but Mae and Everly loved it. It was hot but if you are in the water it really isn't too bad. The girls for sure took a great nap after that!

lots of little fishies

 

see what I mean about that quality Nora time?!?

Cardinals Training Camp 2017

On Friday since I was off we decided to head out to Cardinals Training Camp. Last year I took the girls with my brother-in-law and we had a lot of fun (HERE) so I knew I wanted to take the girls again this year. Justin was able to get off work a little early as well so he could come too. I really like taking the girls to Cardinals Training Camp for a couple of reasons. They love the Cardinals but taking them to an actual game would just be ridiculous and expensive and not worth it so this is awesome because it is completely free. Also, in the dead of summer, it is awesome to have an air conditioned activity for the kids. This year they had a little kid zone which was fun for the kids to do some football drills. Honestly they are happy just running around the stadium and snacking on popcorn while we drink a couple beers. It really is a win for everyone. My niece was also able to make it and meet us there with her son so the girls really had a great time. I would assume it is busier on the weekends but it has not been bad on Fridays so I would definitely recommend it!

 

 

Awesome Friday afternoon

Breaking out our Cardinals gear

Friday Zoo Day!

Last Friday I had the day off from work (along with today) so we really took advantage of it with lots of fun. I invited my niece and her son to meet us at the zoo because I have an extra person on our zoo pass. Normally that person is Justin but he was working. My niece's son is the same age as Aspen so it is lots of fun when they are around. It was humid that morning but it was super overcast which was nice because we didn't get murdered by the sun. The zoo is under a bit of construction right now because of the restaurant with indoor seating that they are building. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal but they need to do a better job of putting signs up about what areas are closed. We got to see the tiger drinking some water and Jiwa the baby orangutan. We also had the splashed to ourselves for like 25 minutes. That was awesome. We checked out the lions and also the Rhino. Have you ever seen a Rhino pee before? It's interesting. The kids were great but also super tired by the time we were done since we got there so early. It was another great morning at the Zoo.

 
Aspen having a donut break...duh!
 
They are already putting up Zoolights!

so cute!

The orangutans were sharing yogurt
