[babyw15]

I'm free again!!! Start of my 4 day weekend!!

[babyw15]

I'm hoping everyone is having such a good morning and that is the reason there is no Friday random thread!!!
I just laid LO down for a nap and I might do the same!! I'm hoping DH can get done early at work today.
We are working around the house tomorrow and packing/cleaning.
What are your go to summer dinners?!? I am lost and tired of making the same things!! So I will take any new recipes you want to share!
Hope you all have a good rest of the day and weekend. Not sure if I will be able to get on this weekend!

DH found out yesterday that he won a radio contest for surf lessons! So we're dropping peanut off at daycare for the afternoon and going to take our free lesson. Pretty pumped about that.

babyw15 do you have a grill?

That's seriously our go to. Anything that involves not turning the oven on. lol.

I made really yummy chicken skewers for our cookout. Chicken/bell peppers/pineapples with different marinades.

Posting and running because we're getting ready to go camping. Lo is staying with my parents and we're going up with a group of friends to tube and camp.

babyw15 stuffed peppers are a go to summer dinner around here. We also grill a lot. Pork tenderloin seasoned different ways us good when we can get pork on sale.
ourcrazynavylife have fun surfing!

babyw15 happy 4 day weekend! My go-to summer dinners are lots of grilled things. I love making grilled pizzas! I've been buying the "flat out" brand pizza flats and doing homemade pesto, mozzarella, tomato and feta pizzas. So delish. I also love doing grilled fajitas, grilled veggies, turkey burgers, and if I cook inside, tacos or something simple!
ourcrazynavylife that sounds like a blast!!!
ashlantic have a great weekend!

New couch has arrived! (Excuse Thomas the tank and the stuffed sloth)

Did a little light shopping at Lowe's last night!

Took little man to build a bear yesterday on a date so adorable! He chose a sloth!

[ourcrazynavylife]

Haha sgio7485 that's what our guest room looks like. We're waiting on the ceiling fan to arrive so I can take all the fixtures over to the new house.

Nice couch!!!

[sgio7485]

ourcrazynavylife our kitchen is installed, counters coming next week, appliances coming in today! Woo!

[ourcrazynavylife]

sgio7485 woohoo!!!! Looks awesome!

Hi! P&r. Work sucks. I need the winning lotto ticket so bad.

[nemomof2]

Happy Friday ladies!
babyw15, I will have to agree with PP and say that we grill everything in the summer. If I am cooking inside it is usually spaghetti or something else as easy.
ourcrazynavylife, surfing lessons sound so fun!
ashlantic, have fun camping!
sgio7485, I felt that when the kitchen came in when we were doing our remodel, that it was done. Love your colors! I also loved that Leo chose a sloth, how cute!
littlelion, sorry for the sucky day at work. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you on the winning lotto ticket. Just remember when you win that it was my positive vibes

Had a dr's appt on Wednesday and baby looks good and my EDD is 2-13-17. That means I will have birthdays in Jan, Feb, and March. I also got some meds to help with the MS and it has been working, it just makes me really tired.

Count us in for this! We have Sept, Oct, Jan and Feb for the kids' bdays and me and my husband are in Feb and March. That plus Christmas makes not over doing presents from us and the grandparents hard!

Hey everyone! I've been gone for so long because my life has been super stressful! MH finally got a job at the school where my dad is principal and my mom is the resource teacher! He'll be teaching 4th grade. My university is in the process of setting up my student teaching and I found out that I can't do it at my dad's school

We just moved last Monday and we are in a temporary apartment, but we put in an offer on our first house yesterday! The sellers countered and we accepted!

Also, ***** trigger warning*******



I POAS and got a BFP this morning! We weren't really expecting it and dh seems more excited than I am. EDD is March 18th.

[sgio7485]

Congratulations landonsmom15!!!
nemomof2, so glad baby looks good!!

[sgio7485]

You guys are making my baby fever a little crazy! DH and I are contemplating when to start trying for baby #2. So many mixed feelings about it!

Glad you're getting some relief! Right now it looks like we'll have 2 bdays and christmas in the same month.

Hello ladies! I've also been MIA for awhile. I had a chance to lurk a couple times but couldn't comment. Congrats to all the new J15 babies! I'm so happy for you all! Things have been pretty crazy here. We finished counseling and I'm happy to say that DH and I are in a great place! We had a lot of underlined issues that we didn't realize were issues that we were able to work through. We are still a work in progress but there is a future which is more than I could say a couple months ago. After our sessions DH surprised us with a trip to Disney! Z had more fun seeing the characters then we both thought she would! It was so much fun!
I've been working summer school which has been a little crazier than usual but it ends next week. I wasn't able to go back to full time this coming school year so I've been looking for another job. Admittedly, I've been dragging my feet but I'm running out of time so I'm hoping to find something soon. Z is growing into her own so fast! She tries to climb everything and we ended up having to drop her mattress to the floor and board off the back of her bed because she kept climbing on top of the changing table and getting into the drawers and trying to pull pictures off the walls. :/ So far it's worked but she's still trying to climb everything else in the house! All of her teeth have also broken through! It makes me sad sometimes to see her smile and not see a mouth full of gums. She's also become very vocal and loves telling us "no" which is both adorable and frustrating lol.
I love seeing how big all your LOs are getting! I feel so privileged to be able to watch them grow from infants to toddlers! Here's some recent pics of Z. She loves helping me brush my hair. vimeo.com/173979084 She totally dissed Minnie for Pluto lol Goofy got the most love though. vimeo.com/173979338 She was so excited to meet Merida! vimeo.com/173979396 Dancing in Disney Springs Cheesin on the boat after playing on an island. spending some time with her younger cousin. Blueberry picking! She was making faces instead of smiling so I made one back at her and the picture on the right was her response lol!

Sorry for the over load! I don't know how to do the spoiler thing.

[babyw15]

Well I'm in bed with LO next to me. He had a fever of 101.0 at 2 so I gave him Motrin. I just checked him again at 8 and 102!!! He wanted nothing to do with dinner. I gave him milk and Motrin. And took him in the shower with me. Poor baby had the chills. So I washed as fast as I could and got him out and dressed. Now we are chilling and watching TV. Poor baby!!! I hate not being able to fix them with a flick of a wand!

Edit to add. Only other symptom is runny nose. Also he took a 4 hour nap today.

How fun! Esp as a date with yh! Had you surfed before?

[ourcrazynavylife]

littlelion I've surfed maybe 1-2 times a year for the past four years (since I married DH haha). So I get the general concept but am by no means proficient.

We're getting food at Rubios now. Yah for not cooking!!

[laceysbryan]

I just spent 2 hours making a chicken spaghetti for a friend with a 2 week old LO. I'm a good friend but damn - not doing that shit again. I'm totally excited to hold a squishy liddle babyyyyyy tomorrow though!

[laceysbryan]

ourcrazynavylife Sounds like a fun date!! Glad yall enjoyed it.
babyw15 Sorry your LO is sick. Get those cuddles in and enjoy your long weekend.
kml218 Glad you and YH are in a better place and I LOVE the Disney pics!
landonsmom15 Congrats!! So many preggos around here!
nemomof2 Glad you had a good appointment and that you're feeling better, but boo for being tired. I was completely useless during my first trimester with LO - naps all the time on the weekend. Everyday going to sleep at like 8. Can't imagine being tired with 2 LOs - you go, mama!
littlelion I hope you win the lotto only if we have the same numbers. I kid, I kid...
sgio7485 LOL that your LO picked a sloth, or that they even have that as a choice. I've never been to a build a bear.
ashlantic Have fun camping!!
