Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Will post later this week about all of our Easter fun today but for now here is the girls Easter Bunny picture from a couple of weeks ago. One year, Aspen will smile.

Shamrock Farms Tour

This past weekend we did the Easter Egg Hunt and Farm Tour our at Shamrock Farms. It has been 3 years since we did this and I really thought Aspen would have fun since she is older now so I wanted to do it. Here are a couple of our previous trips out to Shamrock Farms. It was a long drive out to Maricopa but we made good time and got out there early enough for the kids to get their faces painted and play some games. Besides Aspen freaking out and panicking at the Easter Bunny (who was creepy tbh) the kids did really well during the tour. They were funny and all plugging their noses because of the smell. They got lots of fun prizes during the Easter egg hunt portion and then after the tour was over we stayed to eat lunch and have some Shamrock Farms ice cream. It was a fun morning and I am really glad we made it out there this year!

Cuties!

Creepiest Easter Bunny!



Ready to hunt


The best!

Spring Training 2018

Last night we finally made it to a Spring Training game this season. It actually ended up working out really well. The weather was beyond perfect last night. We just went to Peoria Sports Complex because it was a school night and it is close to our house. They also have a pirate ship playground and the girls absolutely love it. It kinda scares the crap out of me because Aspen is so tiny and there are so man bigger kids running out but that's life. Justin and I enjoyed a beer and the girls ran around and chowed down some popcorn. As usual, not much actual baseball was watched but it was fun. HERE is some of our past years out at Spring Training.

Aspen still letting me wear her at 3.5 and popcorn face

Weekend in Review

Last weekend I had an extra day off and it still didn't feel like enough time. Thankfully, Spring Break is right around the corner. Friday I had the day off so I took the girls to IHOP for 77c pancakes before school. I spent the rest of the day shopping with Aspen while Everly was at school. Friday night we took the kids to watch a movie in the courtyard at Desert Ridge. They were playing Coco and we haven't seen it since seeing it in the theatre so it was fun. The kids did great and I am glad we went. On Saturday I went for a hike and then went out for St. Patrick's Day. I got home entirely too late but it was fun. Sunday we took the kids to take pictures with the Easter Bunny. Aspen seemed like she was going to do good and then decided to hate it at the last minute. We were able to get a picture without tears but she looks pissed. She was pissed. Sunday night my sister came over for dinner and I went on a 2 mile bike/run with Everly and Teddy. They are getting too fast for me! We ate dinner and played a board game and it was a great ending to the weekend.

these two!

she kills me

Ted

beautiful afternoon hike

I'm a sucker for packaging

While it is hard to see them grow up and get older, stuff like this is really fun too.

Game night with Nori

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.

 

Aspen eyed her swim coach at soccer and Nora with a grocery store donut face.

MLK Weekend

MLK Weekend this year was filled with lots of soccer. I always play in a local soccer tournament with my women's team so I had that but this year Everly also had a soccer tournament. She played 4 games I believe and did really well. I also had 4 games but we lost in the semi finals. I wasn't too bummed though because it meant that instead of having a game Monday morning, I was able to take the girls to the zoo with my sister. Since this was the week we were leaving for Disney, Justin stayed home to get stuff done around the house. It actually worked out really well. I sure do love my long weekends.

Everly always has a fan club

Is there a cuter bunch???

Nora is still nuts


Don't mind Cam just pounding that donut!
