Our weekend!

Friday’s plan called for 14 miles without a workout involved, which was a good thing because our legs weren’t up for speed after the big trail we did the day before.
We had a Chipotle picnic after school because they all came home starving, and it was Friday, so why not?!
Saturday morning involved a lot of juggling. Everyone had games around the same time in very different directions, and they were extremely early. Brooke, Andrew, Brooke’s dad, and a few teammates all left together at 5:45 am for a game two hours away. Skye and I left the house at 6:45 for her game that was 45 minutes away. And then it took a village to get the boys around!
I went on a walk during her warm-ups around the field. (softest long-sleeve and leggings)
Skye scored with a crazy kick with the outside of her foot, and I’m still impressed.
We then made it to Knox’s game to see him play his entire game without any substitutions… Look at his kick!
It was a wild ride, but somehow it all worked out.
We then got to go to the BYU vs. Arizona game, and BYU won!
Necessary.
It was 90°F for the game, so we went to the shade for halftime.
I flopped on the couch when we got home and took an insane nap, but I did catch some gorgeous clouds from the sunset later on.
We drove into the mountains on Sunday…
I could have stayed up there all day!
And then the Brookie came home a bit later from time with her dad.
I saw this recipe for a steak salad, and it was love at first sight, so that is what we had for Sunday night dinner.
PS The MADE BY MARY Birthstone Baguette Collection is stunning. They sent me the Birthstone Charm and Birthstone Baguette Stacking Ring. I’m in love, and so is Brooke. I have this code for one more day: JANAE15 gives you 15% off at Made By Mary!

You had an incredibly busy weekend which was so opposite of mine..lol!
I really did just kind of chill this weekend and enjoyed just milling around the house a bit doing little things here and there. I did have to work yesterday as I had a project going live but I was still at home.
I miss having games to go to BUT my daughter is joining the high school flag football team in the Spring so soon Ill be able to cheer once again.
Tonight I am making chicken pot pie, it has been quite a few months since it was last made. May add that chicken pot pie to the menu later this week.
Valene, you needed the chill weekend. I am so glad! Okay, I love that she is joining the HS flag team. That is SO FUN! Oh my kids would LOVE it if I made chicken pot pie, you are inspiring me. ENJOY! Have a beautiful day!
I love a good steak salad!!
Way to go on getting the kids everywhere!
I read most of The Correspondent yesterday. So good!
Maybe I’ll text you the funniest part of my weekend.How did you not spit your water out when they told you?!?
SUCH a good book. Loved loved loved.
Have the best day, Molly!
Thought I would share this with you. On Sunday, we had a lot of rain which created flash floods in the tri-state area (New Jersey/New York). There was a half marathon in a town about 20 minutes from me and I guess they didn’t cancel the race but some or most of their course was flooded. People still made PRs! It is crazy and unbelievable–not sure I would have ran in those conditions–I personally waited until 1:30 pm after the rain to run on Sunday because of the rain.
I saw people posting about that race. I am surprised people were not washed away
DAMARYS! Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing that with me. THE WATER IS TO THEIR HIPS?? How did people PR?! That is crazy and I’m shocked it wasn’t canceled. Us runners are crazy when a race is on the calendar. You were smart to wait! Have a beautiful day and hopefully the weather is better today!
I love weekends like that. There were some great college football games and NFL games this weekend! Loving that football is back.
That steak salad sounds good. I may have to make that this week.
We’re finally getting a break from the heat, yay.
Looking forward to a good week.
Have a great day Janaewe spent the weekend walking the golf course at the Sanford International golf tournament. it was the movement that my body needed.
I am in need of meal ideas for this week that doesn’t take much prep. We are trying to get outdoor things done for fall at night….not much daylight left to get a lot done plus our weather is not to be nice this week. I am excited to start my taper for my October 3rd race. I only have 12 miles for this week’s long run. I am meeting up with a training friend on Saturday to run above Park City.
do you ever freak that you are going to forget a major piece of equipment or gear for a race? I need to pack for my race this week and leave it in the car while we are in Park City. The race is in Duluth so I will fly back to Minneapolis on Thursday then drive start to Duluth for the race.We had a busy weekend! Must be this time of year. Our church had mass on the lawn and a huge bbq after. I also took my kids to Colorado Springs to the zoo there for the day and they enjoyed going up the chair lift and the playgrounds more than seeing the animals.
I am making this recipe I found on instagram that is honey dijon apple chicken in the crockpot with roasted butternut squash. There is a young teacher sharing crockpot recipes on a budget and they look really healthy. Have a great day!
welcome!
