What's Up Wednesday...

Hi All! Today I'm linking up with The Larson Lingo, Mix & Match Family and Pinterest Told Me To for What's Up Wednesday. This is my first What's Up linky and I'm super excited to join the party!

So to be honest I hate cooking in the summer. I hate hot food, I hate using the oven, the stove even the BBQ. My husband doesn't get home from work until 6:30-7 and so I do most of the BBQing. And when it's 100+ outside I just can't do it. So this week we are eating:

Monday - Rib Eye cobb salads and Shrimp Louie Salad. We had my parents over Sunday and had a couple steaks and some shrimp left over so that worked into our salad protein for Monday.
Tuesday - Pork chops, 3 bean salad and tomato basil mozzarella salad
Wednesday - Hamburgers, fries, macaroni salad
Thursday - Something with chicken
Friday - Panini's
Saturday - Pizza

I try really hard to meal plan and I usually do an ok job with the main but the sides don't come together until that day.

I'm reminiscing about this...

 

This was almost a year ago. They were so little!

 

 

I'll tell you what I'm not loving... hot sun that rises at 5:45am and doesn't set until 8:30pm. I am not a fan of summer.

 

 

This is what we've been up to...

Lots of playing outside and swimming! 

I'm working on and excited about our trip to Napa! We went last year and had the best time! So I've been scheduling wine tastings and tours and getting our lunch and dinner reservations figured out! I can't wait. Here we are last year.

 

So, I'm also super excited about our family vacay to Pismo Beach for a week! And that's happening mid July. My sister is coming with her little one and then of course us and my sister in law. Our husbands will mostly just be there on the weekend so that means it's going to be all girls during the week! We are going to have the best time!

I've read so many books this month I lost track. I'll list those another day. But I'm totally hooked on watching Odd Mom Out, Younger and The Real Housewives of Orange County.

When I'm not in my swim suit I'm wearing my favorite Old Navy pixie shorts and my v-necks from Target. 

This weekend is all about my 3 year old and her first dance recital! We can't wait! 

And for the 4th we always go to my parents for a BBQ, swimming and fireworks so that's on the agenda this year also!
