We have been little fishes so far this summer!

Yesterday we went skinny dipping at Mrs. Beckys! ha

had to crop out her business

cuddle time 

she was so cold!

 After a long day of swimming and no nap...this happens...passed out at dinner

 Then today we went to the club pool and this time Jasmine skinny dipped ;)

 While the girls napped I took Nala for a walk and she couldn't resist the sprinkler when we got back! 

She likes to "swim" to!

 Mom took this pic at Evie's garden yesterday! Beautiful!

Evie fish!

Evie has been gone for 18 months today, almost as long as she was with us

how is that possible

What's for dinner?

We tried a couple more recipes this week and they were good enough to share!

I found this recipe on Kraft.

 Another delicious skinny taste recipe! 

I didn't have the red peppers to put on top but i bet that would make it tastier!

 This is what Reese thinks of all my cooking :)

The Conqueror

I wanted to ask for your prayers and support for our sweet friends The Dismukes! We have known them since the first year i taught school. I had their oldest daughter Madison in my class. Then I had her sister Lindsey the year i got put on bed rest with the girls. We go to church together and their son Ingram and Ramsey are the same age!

Ingram was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma in April and is currently undergoing radiation treatments. Please follow their journey here and join me in praying for this sweet family!

3 Months

Happy 3 month birthday Reese!

Reese you are already 3 months old! You are continuing to be such a joy and are such a sweet baby. 

You love when we sing and talk to you, you always talk and smile back at us. Some of your favorite new favorite songs are wheels on the bus, jesus loves me and if your happy and you know it. 

You are getting bigger! Not sure how much you weigh but you are almost out of size 1 diapers, wearing mostly 3 month clothing and some 6 month depending on the brand. 

You are kicking out of your swaddle so it looks like you are ready for your sleep sak. You are still sleeping in our room and sleeping an average 10-12 hrs a night.  If we are at home you take several little naps in your bed but we are usually out and about and you cat nap in your car seat. You nurse every 3 hours during the day then every 2 at night until bed time. You still love your bath and get one every night. 

You are noticing Ramsey more and watch her every move and smile when she comes to play with you. She is still obsessed with you but you hit at her when she gets all in your face, ha! She thinks its funny for now :) You love watching tv which isn't too good but every time i turn you around you try to turn your head to watch it! You like sitting in your bumbo and playing on your play mat. You have started grabbing and hitting at things and you love putting your whole fist in your mouth! You won't take a paci unless i am holding you which isn't fun when you are screaming in the car but we got these little bug toys that hang on your car seat and you love talking to those! We have loved watching you grow and change. You are developing such a sweet personality and we love you more and more every day!

Bumbo time

I completely forgot about the bumbo. 

Reese is holding her head up better so i decided to see if she liked it and she did! 

Nala joined in of course :)

 sweet kisses

 happy girl!

 Then we too a break and played on her new play mat, she likes it too!

Reminds me of these sweet times

What's for dinner?

I have been looking for some new good recipes and trying to cook more during the week. I have found a couple good ones that we really enjoyed and thought i would share with yall!

Tuesday night we grilled fish and i made this vegetable dish.

I didn't layer it the same way and i used red potatoes instead of regular. 

The 3 of us ate the whole thing!

Thursday night i made beef and spinach roll ups and they were also delicious!

I changed this one a bit also. I had fresh spinach so i layered it on top and i also stuffed the noodles with 1/2 the meat instead of just putting it on top.

Thanks to my friend Cortney i have found several recipes on skinny taste that i can't wait to try. 

I will let you know how they are!
