Sometimes you just gotta laugh . . .

So last night was busy, nothing new, just busy as always! We needed to make 2 dinners and 2 desserts, have time to eat and digest all before 7:45 for my walk. So we worked together and started making it happen. Jonathan was grilling meat and cooking pasta shells, while I was cutting up pound cake, making a tiramisu mix and washing dishes as we went. It was a well oiled machine, we didn't get in each others way (in a small kitchen that is hard) and we were getting things done pretty quick. Well Jonathan finished the dinners, put one in the fridge and one in the oven for us. I realized I forgot to tell him one of the ingredients so I pulled out the meal, added the taco sauce and then put it back in the oven, setting my oven mitts on the side.

Right after this we ran out of the part of the tiramisu mixture that calls for coffee (that's the only ingredient you guys are getting out of the secret recipe) so instead of making the coffee in a cup, Jonathan decided to just put the bowl under the coffee maker and let it drip right in. Genius Man, because its one less dish to wash! Well the timer went off for the dinner plate, so I grabbed the pot holders to take it out. I did not realize that Jonathan had used one of the pot holders to prop up the bowl to which the coffee was dripping into.

So I pull out the potholder, therefore losing the balance of the bowl, and spilling our mixture all over the floor, counters, and a little on ourselves. After looking at each other and making sure that neither of us were burned with the hot coffee, we couldn't help but laugh. I am now known as the "coffee launcher" in my house :) I am so thankful to be married to someone that can laugh with me even through the disasters :)

Happy Father's Day

This was our first un-official fathers day and both of us had odd work schedules for the weekend, but we did what we always do, and made it work. So Saturday evening started Father's Day for us, which including opening all of Jonathan's gifts, dinner at his favorite place and a movie of his choosing. Each gift had a note from either Tidbit or I to explain what the gift was for

Gift 1: Note - "To help keep up with me, love Tidbit " and the gift was a 6 pack of red bull

Gift 2: Note - "To start me early... to make sure I enjoy what you enjoy, love Tidbit" and the gift was a box set of John Wayne movies

Gift 3: Note - "To teach me about what you love, love Tidbit" and it was a stainless can cooler with all the facts of saltwater fish that you can fit on there!

Gift 4 : Note - "To remind yourself, love Wif" and it was a shirt that said " I LOVE when my WIFE, lets me go fishing"

See pics below

Father's Day picked up again on Saturday morning for a breakfast with friends at Jonathan's favorite spot, Cracker Barrel. Breakfast was fantastic but the company was even better. Then off to church, this is where Father's Day stopped as I went to work for a few hours and Jonathan went to volunteer and then treated his child to his favorite lunch (thankfully it had to go through me so I got fed too :) ) Then off we were again to see a movie of Jonathan's pick "The Proposal" ! It was really cute and we really enjoyed it!

So that was the recap of the day, oh and there were puppy kisses in there as well from the pups so we didn't forget about them! I hope that every one's Father's Day was equally as special. Happy Father's Day honey, your going to be a great dad!

Week 16

So I'm not a big avacoda fan, but with respects toward Tidbit, I will try them out more this week :) If anyone has any cooking or recipe suggestions, send them our way!

San Antonio Mini Vacation!

This weekend was fantastic. I picked up my hubby from work and we were off to the Joyce's in San Antonio. Upon arrival we were greeted with Asher (Shaina's and Kevin's son) kisses and snuggles and then homemade pizza! I swear some of the best moments in my house were when Shaina was living there and I had tons of homemade food... she loves to cook and is good at it! The following morning, I was greeted with more Asher snuggles and homemade pancakes from Shaina, we took the day easy and ran some errands and just spent time together just doing normal stuff(I really miss her). We got home around noon to get ready for Wicked and for her to get ready for her baby shower! Off we went our separate ways, while I was in much anticipation for the show! After finding our seats seconds before the show started, I gave my husband a kiss in thanks and sat back to watch the amazment. It was FANTASTIC. The details in the costumes, the make up, the sets and the actors was glorious. Jonathan even got me binoculars so I could see everything in up close detail. Our seats were perfect and the show was great, what a perfect anniversary gift sweetheart! After the show, we crawled our way through traffic and just spent the evening with Shaina and Kevin, I love this couple seriously! We woke up the following morning and attended Kevin's church Imagine Fellowship and then Shaina shoo-ed Jonathan off to Bass Pro Shop while we spent some girl time together, cooking, talking, cleaning, making Asher laugh. The best part about the weekend was that I couldn't name a highlight, it was all perfect and absolutely wonderful! Good job Babe!

Week 15 Update - hope it makes you laugh

That's me at week 15 today, wahoo. As you can see Tidbit and I are growing and it makes me laugh. I am lucky enough and like the gym enough to have never experienced a large belly, so it is so weird to me to have this piece of skin sticking out further then it ever has before. When I walk I keep my hand on my belly every now and again, I don't know why, maybe I'm afraid its going to drop off or fall off something :) like I said this is new to me. Anyway 2nd Trimester is much smoother, no more morning sickness, I get to work out and even start swimming soon! Only 9 more weeks until we know if Tidbit is a he or she and we can't wait! We will update you on more soon!

Prego Brunch

I am so lucky to have some of my closest friends be pregnant at the same time as me. I have texted several of them at the same time to find out the answer to my latest pregnant dilemma, they have been great! I came to realize though that my new friends that were pregnant with their first babies didn't know some of my other friends that were pregnant with their second child. So I decided to get us all together at one of our favorite brunch locations, HESTERS, for a little Prego Brunch. Where we all could get the chance to know each other a little more and also for us to exchange numbers so we could all ask questions together. Although we were missing a few of the ladies, it was still a fabulous time and I am so lucky to have such great friends nearby!

Can't wait for our next one!

Jingle Bellies, haha
