Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

On Saturday Darryl, Nate and I attended a friends wedding.  

While Josh attended our local fair with his girlfriend. 

Josh had friends over on Monday while Nate hung out at a friends house. 

I was able to catch up with friends on Wednesday! 

On Friday we attended a field trip with our co-op at a local missionary based flight school. 

Then we went to McDonald’s for lunch and to congratulate Josh’s girlfriend in her last day of working at McDonald’s! 

Friends 😊

A cool photo of Josh!

 How can it be August!  I feel like the summer has just flown by and I just want to make it slow down!  I am not ready to start thinking about school and schedules quite yet! 

Here’s the plan : 

Friday - Chili dogs and Corn on the Cob

Saturday - Nate is going to a teen activity so I’m not quite sure how timing will work - I may drop  him off and go see a movie! 

Sunday - my plan is that Darryl and I can take off for the day for our anniversary!! 

Monday - My guys band is playing in a talent show at a local fair and I’m part of the “transport team” (in other words —I’m hauling gear 🤣) so I am hoping to indulge in my one elephant ear a year for dinner!! 

Tuesday - it’s our anniversary and I’m not cooking! 

Wednesday - tacos

Thursday - BBQ grilled chicken, fried potatoes and green beans 

A few of my favorite things

 It’s been awhile since I shared some of my favorite things!  

Giraffes!!  The boys and I went to a local zoo and I spent quality time with the giraffes 😊

I love this spinning fidget ring! 

My new favorite- It’s Cherry Lime Sprite Zero! 

I enjoy a good renovation show and these two guys are favorite hosts! 

This guy.  I picked him up on the same zoo trip 😊

I love that little Shazam widget that Nate taught me about!  If I head a song on the radio, I just click on that and it identifies it!  How cool is that!

Another great song I heard while listening to WCSG!

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

On Sunday I dropped Nate off for his last week to work at camp!  

Josh had to visit the Orthopedic doctor for a wrist injury - which at this point requires PT. 

And then he got to pick dinner since we were in Grand Rapids!  He picked Five Guys 😊

Weekly Menu

Recipe Fun - Triple Berry Crisp

 I think that any type of crisp or cobbler are some of my all time favorite desserts.  This particular recipe I came across a few years ago and just fell in love with it!  One, it is so easy to put together and two, it tastes amazing.  The full recipe for Triple Berry Crisp can be found HEREand is a Skinnytaste Recipe.  

I do make some adjustments.  I always add more fruit - I use one container of raspberries, one of blueberries, and one of strawberries (by container I mean those plastic ones in the grocery story that the fruit comes in - just the normal every day size HA!).  For the crisp topping I always use 1/4 of butter and 1/4 of brown sugar which is more than the recipe calls for but it sure tastes good!  

Enjoy!
