What's Up Wednesday | April

 

 

Hey guys! I'm linking up for What's Up Wednesday this week for the first time. Honestly, I was going to link up last month, but when reading all the topics I got overwhelmed and abandoned ship. Maybe I can get through it today. ;)

 

 

What we're eating this week...

Well, Monday was my birthday. I've actually been pretty good about staying away from sweets

and eating slower/having smaller portions for a few weeks.

WELL - THIS WEEK.

This is my birthday week so I've had way way way too many sweets!

Yesterday we went to BJs for dinner and the sweet waitress bought me two mini pizookies because I was having trouble choosing between the Salted Caramel and Monkey Bread.

FYI: Salted Caramel was better

 

 Leslie also brought a Cookie cake for me....

 

 

 And then Leslie gave me a bag full of my favorite childhood snack: Banana Runts

I pretty much made myself sick snacking on them yesterday.

I finally just threw them in the trash.

 

Yesterday at work they brought in my favorite cake!!

A red velvet Nothing Bundt Cake

 

I'm definitely eating my favorite treats, but I've been feeling sick from it! Its really crazy how when you stay away from sugar for awhile it just isn't the same.

 

What I'm reminiscing about...

My birthday last year! My entire family came in town and we had Hibachi Friday night. 

 

Then, on Saturday I went to my friend's

Bachelorette party and had my first visit to drybar.

Then on Sunday we went to the zoo.

And my baby was.....still a baby! Whaaaaa

 

 

 

What I'm loving...

All the sweet love that I'm receiving for my birthday!

My sweet Mother in Law and Sister in Law took me to get a pedicure Saturday followed by a surprise lunch with Cecil and Connor at Pappasitos after.

Its was so sweet of them and we had a lot of fun!

I felt love for sure!

What we've been up to...

Connor had a little eye infection this past weekend, so we didn't really get out much. We've been hunkering down and staying at home.

What I'm dreading...

The summer heat.

I know spring is going to be over soon and we had the most pathetic winter ever.

I'm just not ready to go back to the triple digit days.

What I'm working on...

I'm working on cleaning things out. We have serious storms coming and we really need to be able to get both cars in the garage. I need to make a serious good-will run to make that happen.

 

Also, I'm working on getting in pictures more.  

I'm thankful I have these two of my little man and me on my birthday!

 

What I'm excited about...

 A quick girls trip to Mexico in May.

I love Mexico. And I really love my girls. :)

 

What I'm watching/reading...

Since Connor had an eye infection and last weekend was pretty open Cecil and I watched a few episodes of Naked and Afraid. We had about 50 on our DVR and really want to get caught up.

I just do not understand the motivation to go on the show.

I find it fascinating, but its hard for me to relate.

 

What I'm listening to...

 Connor has become more interested in child songs/videos on youtube

so I had a song about a Helicopter in my head today.

My parents used to say:

'If it happened in the 80s we don't know about it because

we were only watching Sesame street in the 80s'

I'm sure with the internet and mart phones I won't ever be that removed, but I have definitely

stopped watching about 1/2 the shows I did before being a Mom and I know

its going to be a lot more kid entertainment coming my way.

 

What I'm wearing...

 You know, just the regular. :)

I'm going to have to really succeed at being in pictures if I'm going to do this category!

 

What I'm doing this weekend...

 My little birthday party with friends will be this weekend. We were going to possibly get in the pool, but the weather looks rough. No matter what, it will be a day spent with my favorite people. :) 

 

What I'm looking forward to next month...

 M-E-X-I-C-O

 

What else is new...

 Not much else seems new. Today is my parents 38th(!!) wedding anniversary.

Look at these lovebirds right around their 6th wedding anniversary.

 

And more recently. Aren't they the cutest?

 

Well that is Whats Up! :)
