Weekend Recap

We had so much fun this weekend!

Fun Run!
Friday morning I took off work for about an hour to watch Jaxen
run in the school’s “Crazy Sock Fun Run”!
I dropped the ball in the mom-department….
I should have bought some white socks he could decorate himself.
Instead…Nik picked up some striped socks at the last minute.
It was fine. No one cared.
But I will have to remember that for next year!

This is his class, all ready to go!

Jaxen had fun running around the school yard!


Every time they passed their ‘station’ they got to pick out a bracelet.
I think Jaxen said he got 19!


 Soccer!
Saturday morning we had soccer!
Thankfully, it was a 10am game, instead of 9am. 
9 am is a bit early when you have to travel 20 solid minutes to get there, and be there early. 

They played a really tough team and the final score was Brazil (Jaxen’s team) 2 and Spain 1.

I told Jaxen I would give him money if he made a goal - 
but poor guy didn’t really get a chance - tough team.
But he did great, and had fun playing!



Farmer’s Market!
After soccer we hit our town’s Farmer’s Market.
We had so much fun walking around, checking everything out.
They even had a kids scavenger hunt - that was fun helping Jaxen find everything!
They enjoyed listening to live music and drawing with chalk, too. 


Zoo!
Sunday morning we went to church and then decided to head to the Zoo!
We made a quick stop at QT for drinks.
While we were there, the boys and I took some pics.


Before we ever got into the zoo, we had a boo-boo.
See Jaxen’s knee?

By the time we came out of the zoo, we had 3 boo-boo’s!
I need to remember to pack band-aids next time - haha!

We had a great time exploring.
And the best thing?
We actually got a membership - so we can go as often as we want!
It was no rush to see everything, or do everything.
In fact, we only saw maybe half of the zoo before we headed home.


 This is the only ‘animal’ picture I took.
Zane loved this tiger!

See him pointing!

I cannot wait to go back to the zoo and see more animals!
The boys loved it!

Zane was tuckered out...

And we were all so hungry!
We skipped lunch and just had a snack.
So it was pizza for the win after the zoo.
Zane woke up just in time to polish off his pizza before his brother did!

We had such a nice weekend, with beautiful weather (finally)!

Weekend In Review

thursday:
our night started off rough
jaxen was super upset about something and laying on the floor, crying
but look how sweet zane was with him - giving him hugs and kisses

the night got better as we went to soccer practice
well, for jaxen
zane stayed in the car because he was super whiny and would not listen
they were both in bed, passed out at 8:40pm

before bed, I entertained zane with this discovery ball
it gets bigger and smaller - and he belly laughed every time i put my head in it

friday:
everyone was tired by the time I got home from work that night
so after dinner the boys and I built a fort and watched tv while eating popcorn
jaxen even slept there all night
and thought that was the greatest thing

saturday:
we had soccer that morning
it was cool and rainy…but much warmer than the week before
thankfully, jaxen thought so too
and played 2 really great soccer games - they won both
(with a donut run in between games - we live too far to come home in between)







zane enjoyed watching brother, eating leftover popcorn, and playing



after soccer we ran an errand to ikea
more about that later
and that night i had jaxen and zane helping me bake


sunday:
the boys looked adorable as we headed to church
in blue and white striped polos
i tried to take their picture and this is what they insisted on


monday:
i got to enjoy these beauties all day
they make me smile
there is an orange daisy behind that pink one
it’s employee appreciation week at work

Pics for you to enjoy!

Jaxen put together a “goody bag” for me to take to work one day.
Contents: Diet Mt Dew, Fruit Roll Up, Vanilla Wafers, Licorice, Fish-gummies and a few more items.
He was so proud of himself - it was so sweet!
(I only drank the Diet Mt Dew)

Cute boy, getting ready for the day!
 

We can catch some pretty cute things on the monitor!
However, we do not let them go to bed together anymore.
They play way too much.
We put one down first (usually Jaxen) then when he is asleep, we put Zane down.

Zane, showing off his new jammies he got for Easter.


I love getting pictures like this through out the day!

Sunday Zane and I had some good cuddles!

Look at this big boy!
I made him carry a bag out of Wal-Mart the other day.

Kids Yoga.
We (all) had a fun time doing it!

The one night this week the weather was actually “spring” I took the boys out for a walk.
We all enjoyed it so much!
They love finding rocks and sticks and throwing them into the creek.
