What's Up Wednesday 6.25.15

I am joining some lovely ladies today for a little look into our lives! I realize today is Thursday..a day late isn't so bad, is it?

What we're eating this week

I had planned out meals for this week....and then I realized it was harvest.  So we have been having picnics in the van when we help take food out to the field!  I made Zach's favorite chocolate sheet cake for Father's Day, so we've been snacking on that when we make it home.

What I'm reminiscing about 

My niece and nephew are turn one today!  A year ago we were wondering how long they would hold out before they made their debut, and praying they would be as healthy as possible at 8 weeks early.  What a difference a year makes!

Look how little Summer was!

And look how big they are now!  Granted this picture was three months ago...

What I'm loving

Lemon Lime Water

What we've been up to

Combine riding and outside playing

What I'm dreading

Baths every night.  I will admit giving baths are not my favorite, and in the summer when the kids are all sweaty, dirty, and covered in sunscreen and bug spray, there isn't much avoiding it.

What I'm working on

A few baby gifts (I will share after they have been gifted!)

What I'm excited about

We find out if my brother and sister-in-law are having a boy or girl this week.   I am SO excited.  SO EXCITED!!!!

Stephanie holding Aria at Christmas.  Can't wait to hold her baby this year!!!

What I'm watching

So many of our seasons are over (sob), and we finished watching all the seasons of Castle (another sob), so we are enjoying summer television:  So You Think You Can Dance,  American Ninja Warrior, and The Bachlorette (this season is a TRAIN WRECK-but I can't help myself).

If any of you watch The Bachlorette, you HAVE to read these recaps by Pinterest Told Me To.  They are the FUNNIEST thing ever, and she says exactly what we were all thinking!

This is my favorite quote from today's post: Nick had 10 minutes to get dressed, so he threw on a pair of sensible green jeggings...

We also love to watch shows on Netflix/Hulu.  We are currently watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  Anyone have good suggestions of a new show for us to binge watch this summer??

What I'm reading

The Girl on the Train

The Power of a Woman's Words

What I'm listening to 

In need of suggestions!  I'm tired of everything on the radio and on my Pandora/Spotify stations. 

What I'm wearing

Scrubs during the day and athletic shorts and a t-shirt in the evening.  Nothing too exciting over here! 

What I'm doing this weekend

Zach will most likely  be in the field, so Saturday morning the kids and I are planning to head up to Wichita to meet up with one of my good friends from college.  Our church has a pastoral candidate coming for the weekend, so they are having dinner with our Sunday School class Saturday night, and the Preschool board is in charge of serving breakfast Sunday morning. 

Planning on a breakfast burrito bar...my favorite!

What I'm looking forward to next month/4th of July Plans

We have Friday off next week for 4th of July, so we are headed up to Kansas City to hang out, and go to Kodi's baby shower on Sunday.  On the agenda is the zoo (Lyle is PUMPED that they have polar bears there.  We've been watching them on the zoo cam!), pedicures, donuts plus lots of other good food.

What else is new?  

We have flowers planted in our front flower beds for the first time in...well...ever.  Since we moved in six years ago.  I love them!

Happy Thursday!
