This weekend I... - Our Three Peas

I have never done a “this weekend I” post before…why?? Because my weekends are normally BORING! But this weekend was FUN and we did all sorts of things! I thought that this would be a fun way to share all that we did.

Soccer!– My kids had their first soccer games this weekend! They both did great and had an awesome time.

Adorable, huh??It’s so fun watching them play and try their best on the field. Jacob scored two goals and Abby almost scored once- she did an excellent job defending and REALLY wants to score, hopefully she will next game! Pumpkin Patch!Yesterday in the afternoon we took the kids to the pumpkin patch in Marana. Despite the fact that I was sweating (what else is new!) it was so much fun!

They had a huge jumping “pillow” where the kids could bounce. It was so fun! Hannah kept sliding off and was laughing her butt off- so funny!

There was a huge hay mountain the kids could climb.

We took lots of “obligatory” pumpkin patch pictures- so cute!

We did two corn mazes and then got to take a wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. We HAD to sit in the front so Jacob could see the tractor wheels!

We all got to pick the “perfect” pumpkin. I love taking the kids to pick their own- it’s so fun for them see how they grow and to see how different each pumpkin that they pick is. It’s neat to see their individually show through their pumpkins.

After, we took some family pics and then headed home, but we had to get some “baby pumpkins” on our way out!I love the pumpkin patch! It was so fun and would only have been made better if we lived in a normal state where pumpkin patch outings means cooler weather! Hopefully someday! I ran a half marathon!Yes, this sunday I ran my third half marathon. I was a bit worried because I didn’t get to train as much as I knew I should have, due to our busy schedules and our vacation, but it turns out I did ok! My personal goal was to 1) FINISH and 2) to try and get in between my two other times for my previous races and I did that! I finished in 2 hours and 12 minutes- not too shabby!

I love getting your tech shirt and race bib- it’s always so exciting!!

Yay! My post race picture. I was proud of myself for finishing and in decent time.

Waiting for me at the finish time was my hubby and kids- it’s always such a great feeling to see people cheering you on as you finish- especially when you are as tired as I was at the end!! This race will be the last long distance one I do for awhile. I would eventually like to do a full one but it just takes SO much time to train properly and with three kids and a hubby that works so much with such an erratic schedule, it’s not as easy feat. I have two other 5k’s I’ll be doing this year and then will begin finding some fun races for 2014!I completed this race 3 weeks before I turn 33- I feel very accomplished in this area of my life. Now, if only my thighs and butt would catch on, we’d be all set (eye roll). So that, along with my daughter’s BFF’s birthday party, was our weekend!! How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun and exciting?

  I know!! Normally we don’t do so much because my husband works but he took Sunday off for my race so we took advantage of it!

You had a busy weekend and it looks like you and your family had fun. I miss playing soccer, I had to give it up a few years ago because of my back. 🙁
