Weekend Review

It has been such a great weekend for us! This post will be rather lenghty since we've done so much lately.

We are the proud owners of my dream vehicle! 2013 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. We decided our cars were to small for both babies and all of the stuff we drag along. We spent three days at the dealership but finally got a great price and left happy. I'm already not loving the one vehicle but we'll remedy that soon enough.

We also got B a new bed! With Ryker on the way we knew that we'd need a toddler bed for B. We moved the crib to our room to make breast feeding easier on me and set the new bed up. He loves that he has a car bed. 

We also spent a little time at a car show. B wasn't into taking pictures unfortunately. He's rocking his new Moraki diaper (I'm in love) for memorial day.

Sunday night we spent sometime with our new friends. Combined we have 6 kids and Ryker will make the 7th. We've been hanging out more and more these past two weeks.  It feels great to get along with people that have kids for B to play with. We had a great time and didn't leave until midnight. Everyone was pooped the next day!

Yesterday was the last day the Chrysler Duck was in Norfolk. We finally took time to see it. It was HUGE. So many people were there to see it. B keep quacking and saying yellow. I think it's safe to say he was impressed with the giant bath toy.

We spent our Memorial day weekend as a family. We took time to honor our lost loved ones and remember the freedom they have helped keep possible. Overall we had a great Memorial day weekend and I'm so thankful we spent time together and with our wonderful friends. 

Weekend review

It's Monday again, time for another weekend review! 

Friday was GORGEOUS. We all woke up rather early to join a good friend at his reenlistment. So glad we got to share such a special moment with him and his family. After the ceremony we joined Chance's old division for a few games of bowling. B was awesome and even got to bowl a few frames. Before heading home we checked out a new park. It wasn't packed which I love. B ended up meeting a couple little girls and they chased each other for what seemed like hours. When it was time to go he didntt fight at all. He was so awesome!

Friday night we finally made pretzels again. The dough wouldn't cooperatr so we made different shaped pretzels. They turned out amazing once again.

Saturday morning the local car club (757illest) hosted a car show and of course we were there. B was way more interested in the playground than the cars this time. He was extremely upset when it was time to leave. After his nap we walked down the street to our neighbor's to play in their bounce house. The kids ended up ditching it for bikes and battery operated cars. They were obsessed. Saturday night we joined our friends for a pizza night in. The kids were wild but grown up time is precious. 

Yesterday was Chance's duty day. We spent our day indoors watching the rain. We did get to use our Audrey diaper finally. Yes, B is a boy wearing a girly diaper... get over it! 

We also enjoyed one of B's favorite meals, mac n cheese and hot dogs. When Chance has duty cooking for one and a half doesn't make sense so we get a little treat. B was thrilled to have mac n cheese!

Overall it was another lazy weekend in Hampton roads. Hopefully our weather will pick up and we can spend more time outdoors. 

Weekend review

This weekend we were all but lazy. The weather was pretty nice so we spent our time out and about. 

Friday Chance got off super early as usual. We spent our afternoon groceries shopping and running errands. This past week Chance has began cooking dinner for us! He has no knowledge on cooking so its a slow process but he's rocking it. B especially loved Dada's spaghetti. 

After dinner we did our normal friday night ritual of redbox and slushies. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I found some hard to find diapers for a great price in the area before Chance could complete his five minute drive. He was awesome and agreed to go with me to pick them up. I got them for a steal and was so thrilled.

Saturday B woke us up at a normal hour for once. We ended up having plenty of time to get ready for the annual St. Patty's day parade in Norfolk. We met up with some friends and headed to the parade. It was the longest parade I've ever been to. It lasted two hours and it was rather calm and family friendly. B really enjoyed it and it was great to bask in the sun. We ended the night with Chance making us homemade pizza and watching Grown ups 2.

Sunday we had prior engagements. The local car club, 757illest, was hosting a scavenger hunt with proceeds going to relay for life. Chance had mentioned it a few weeks ago and I thought it was a great idea. We all met up in some freezing weather to hear the rules and acquire our list. It was a super fast pace day. I'm crazy competitive and was really determined. B slept most of the alloted 4 hours while Chance and I hunted things down. One of my favorite pictures of the day has to be Chance planking his engine. The girl in the other car was cracking up. 

After a grusome day we all met back to hear the winners. We ended up beating out 23 other teams to be first. We recieved a little price but truly the day alone was rewarding enough. 

As soon as we arrived back home we headed out again for our friends LO's birthday.  B was WILD. He barely had any pizza or cake but he was pinging off the walls. It was a great time with a friend we haven't seen in months.

Our weekend ended up being awesome. I love being able to spend so much time as a family. B loves being outdoors and we would hate to miss a minute of him. 

Weekend review

This weekend we were SO lazy. I had no motivation even though I was sick of staring at our walls.

Friday always starts our weekends. Chance gets off at lunch so we get ample time to get out a do a few things. It was freezing but we managed to scout out a few homes in the area. Never thought we'd go for townhome but it's becoming an option. We picked up About Time (AUHmazing) on the way home and spent the night watching that and baking pretzels. I'll have to post the recipe because they were awesome!

Saturday we woke up super early thanks to B. We spent our morning lounging and finally got ready to go. We had no idea where to go but ended up at Mt. Trashmore with a kite. My husband sucks at kite flying. B wanted to play on the pkayground so bad but there was so many older kids who obviously wouldn't pay attention to him. We ended up grabbing snow cones and dog watching in the sun. We ended our day with yet another movie, Despicable Me 2, and some couch cuddles.

Yesterday we laid around until 3... I know I know, we are lazy! I decided we should hit up a local ice cream shop (Handle's) we had seen on TV. I wasn't disappointed at all. I LOVE ice cream and it hit the spot. We chose to look at a few more houses on the way home and were very disappointed on price point. I hate the cost of living here.

We had a pretty great weekend. We've been trying to budget so we spent as little money as possible and still had a great weekend. B loved getting out and it was great to see some sun.
