a little of everything

Instead of sharing our weekend review, I'm sharing a little bit of fun Mia and I have been having in the last couple weeks because.... we are still soaking up the "weekend" with Eric! After almost working the last 30 days straight (I wish I was kidding) we are in the middle of soaking up FIVE whole days together! It's heaven! 

Speaking of heaven... Arizona has given us the most gorgeous weather the past two Friday's! I'm talking a high of 70 plus rain! I'm pretty positive this isn't the norm for Arizona weather in May so I soaked it up! The first Friday I met up with Aubrey at the zoo... along with the rest of Phoenix... because the weather was just too good to pass up! I assumed that would be the last time we'd be able to enjoy being out (and the animals, too!) until Fall! Mia was having a bit of a rough day (she came down with a fever that night, no other symptoms, so random!) and wanted to be held the whole time. I love the snuggles but girlfriend is gettin' heavy these days! So when Emery was ready for snuggles with her momma, Mia gladly took over Emery's stroller! She curled up as tightly as she could and reverted back to baby talk and whining... silly girl! She's taking all the tips she can from the little ones on how to act like a baby again, ha ha! But she loved the animals and of course her favorite part was the carousal ride!
We have been keeping busy with a ton of play dates while Eric has been so busy at work, and I'm so grateful for how many amazing friendships we have made already since moving to Arizona just over 3 months ago! Splash pads, baby pools and chalk have been occupying a lot of our time as well. It's a good thing we love the water so much since we will be living in it this summer :)
So far our weekend fun with Eric has consisted of lots of daddy/daughter play time, walks around the lake while searching for ducks, movie night with air popped popcorn, eating at the Cheesecake Factory (I can't believe it's taken us over 3 months to finally go eat there!) and... motorcycle browsing. Yeah. Eric's on a motorcycle kick and it looks like he'll be picking up a new hobby in the next year (I'm really crossing my fingers that I can get him to hold off from buying one until 2016) Of course Mia think it's GREAT! "Bike, daddy! I want a bike!" Heaven help me! Hopefully I take more pictures in the next couple of days because I've been too busy soaking up family time to take pictures, oops!

P.S. Eric and I stayed up until midnight  one night watching Interstellar... we all know how big of a deal that is since I'm pregnant and my toddler doesn't sleep in, right?! What a waste of precious sleeping hours, we hated it! I know this movie is old news (Eric and I have a long list of movies to catch up on) but why did everyone love it so much?! We really don't get it!
