Soccer Star

Aspen was down with the flu for 3 days last week so we were pretty excited when she got to feeling better weekend. The weather has been so nice we got to play outside quite a bit. These two girls love to be outside.
 
Aspen loves to play soccer! Can't believe she'll be old enough to play on a team soon!
 
 
Don't mind the wind and sprinkler in the background!

Our weekend

We started the weekend out with a great dinner of grilled shrimp and potatos...except that we didn't time things very good and ended up eating shrimp and rolls and then waiting on the potatos - only to find out we didn't mix something up right and they tasted terrible! haha Oh well, try again next time!

Saturday morning Aspen and I ran over to a garage sale, and I scored the best deal ever! I got her a little tumble mat. I was so stinking excited about it! I will get a picture of it soon, but lets just say it's been spread out on our living room floor and Aspen has jumped and rolled on it like you would not believe. I have no idea where we're going to store it, but for right now on the living room floor works! haha Then we got ready to go to the KU Football game. I'm not going to talk about the outcome of the game, b/c it was so disappointing but I'll just say we had fun at the game.
 
Aspen ended up falling asleep pretty much right after kickoff and slept for the first quarter and a half of the game (I don't know how she does it but she can sleep anywhere!) so I actually got to pay more attention that I usually get to. It was hot holding her but as she's growing, I get to snuggle less and less so I'll take what I can get.
After the game we went to my fav - El Mez for dinner and I had, I'm not kidding - the best margarita ever! haha
Sunday we went to church this morning. Came home and made breakfast, did some cleaning and playing, and laid Aspen down for nap a little after the Chiefs game started. Too bad, we started off a lot better than we are finishing...looks like it might be another rough football season around our house this year. I'm half reading, half watching the football game...it's hard to get back into the routine of having school stuff to do! We have steaks to grill for dinner tonight! Great weekend at home with my family.

Are you ready for some football?


 I am SOOO pumped that it's football season again!! I love everything about it! We have season tickets to the KU games again this year so we got to go to our season opener last weekend. Kind of bummed it ended up being the same weekend as our 10 year high school reunion, but I couldn't miss the game!
All Aspen could talk about was seeing Jay and giving Jay a five. She kept telling me "not Big Jay mommy, just Baby Jay"...well we didn't see Baby Jay so she wasn't so sure about taking a picture with Big Jay. She might have even said "don't touch me" to him.....From far away she's waving and saying hi but up close, not so much of a fan.
Family pic before the game.
We had so much fun!! Aspen clapped her hands when we were cheering, waved the wheat and would throw her arms up in the air like we did when something good happened. She does a great job at the games. Let's just say it was a good thing we were on the aisle considering we took her potty at least 10 times. Not even kidding at all. I think she just liked climbing the stairs-goofy girl.
We even got to sit next to some of our really good friends which made the game even more fun. These two girls enjoyed the game! Brynlee did great at her first Jayhawk football game!!
So here's to hoping we have a better season than last year -honestly it would be hard not too but we aren't going to go there. haha Rock Chalk baby!
