Preschool trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Let me just start off with saying I LOVE Abby's preschool teacher!! Jenny is amazing! I had both Cameron and Abby in her preschool and they just love her and love to learn. Anyways... So every month they go on a field trip. This month was to the Pumpkin Patch. I was quite concerned when we pulled in to the parking lot to not only not find a spot, but to not find one on the street either. It was so crowded!! I saw three buses on top of all the cars that were there. Luckily, I think most of them were getting ready to leave. So, it turned out to be a pretty good trip. They have a corn maze, farm animals, a non-spooky alley, and 2 different play areas. Here are just a few pictures from that day.

Isn't she just the cutest?!

A busy week

Life hasn't seemed to have slowed down any, but that is okay. Last week Pug took McKenzie and Cameron to ride their bike over to the bike park. I rode in the car with Abby (we were pretty sure she wouldn't make it, and my bike has a flat). They had fun riding there and back, but the actual biking at the park was a little much for them. Maybe with more practice...

Here is Abby running down the trail. She must have been moving at warp speed to be so blurry :)

McKenzie looking a little bit concerned coming down the hill.

Last Friday, with no school and a beautiful day, we went to the zoo with my Mother-in-law and her Mother. We love being able to have fun times with family! Great-Grandma turned 94 in June. What an amazing woman :)

I ran my first 5k on Saturday. I wish I would have trained a bit longer/harder. BUT I did run the whole time!!! My official time was 30:07, but I am saying that I ran the 5k in under 30 minutes because the distance on my ipod said 5.32k. I loved it and I am hoping to run another one soon.

The past few weeks...

Okay, here is a quick, and I mean quick, view of what we have been up to the last few weeks. At the beginning of the month we took a weekend trip down the St. George to watch my brother in law run the marathon. Well, we actually only saw about 30 seconds of his run, but we were just happy to be there and support him.

The posters the kids all made for Scott.

Last Sturday marked the last soccer game for McKenzie. Here is her team and coaches.

Cameron had his last outdoor soccer game yesterday. (indoor starts next week)

And poor Kirby now gets to wear the cone of shame. We had him fixed yesterday as well. He REALLY hates that cone. He won't move if he has it on. hehe

Why?

So, for those 1 or 2 people who actually read my blog, I thought I would tell you why I haven't had any new posts lately. That can be summed up in one word... TIME. I have not had enough of it! We have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off!! With soccer four days a week, school, homework, preschool, piano, Zumba, yoga, impromptu trip to St. George, and life in general we have not had a single day where there is nothing to do. Outdoor soccer ends next week, and then I have a week break before futsol (an indoor soccer) starts. Maybe that week will be the week that I get things done. Probably not.
