Drive-In Movies!!

When I first saw the previews/trailers to the Sorcerer's Apprentice I instantly wanted to see it. Also, we'd been talking about going to the drive-in with the Heavners' for a while. Well, this weekend we went to the drive-in AND saw Sorcerer's Apprentice!! It was great! The weather was slightly muggy and it rained a little off and on but for the most part it was great. The cutest part of course were the babies! Every time Teagan and Miles see each other their faces light up! Miles was especially happy that evening!

Begging time to stand still...even for a moment.

She's growing so fast.
The time that before Teagan tended to creep by is now becoming a whirlwind. It's moving so fast my head spins out of control some days.
Right now Josh is helping his sister and I'm sitting here alone in the living room. Just a few months ago I would have had Teagan asleep on my chest because she slept so much that we didn't put her in her crib until around 11 o'clock after she ate...now, she is asleep in her crib upstairs like a big girl and I am down here alone. You would think I would enjoy a little me time but I miss her. I want to run upstairs and grab her up out of her crib and snuggle her until she squirms for me to stop. Everybody told me that time was going to go by quickly and she wouldn't be an infant for long...I just thought I was cherishing every minute. At the time of the moments I probably was doing some cherishing but if there is even one detail I can't remember it bothers me. She isn't going to be as young as she was today when she wakes up tomorrow. Another day will have gone by and there will be things I forget. Like today, she said "Ba Ba" very clearly...what if there are some "words" that I missed while I was talking on the phone while she was talking? I'll never get these moments back. I know I can't shut her and I in a room and never come out but from now on I plan to double cherish every minute I get to spend with Teagan. I love watching her grow and gain more independence and more of a personality but it's sad to see that growth as well...
I have started doing something for her every time I feed her. As she eats I pray (we've of course prayed for her often but this is just something special I want to do for her). I pray for her future. I pray for her relationship with the Lord. I pray for her husband and that he is a God-loving and kind man. I pray for her education. I pray for her personality that she will be kind and good hearted but also strong and independent. I pray that she have a good group of friends. I pray that her daddy and I can set a good, Godly example for her in regards to our walk with the Lord and our marriage. I pray that the world will become better and safer but if it doesn't that she has the ability to handle it.
So, tomorrow I plan to snuggle up to my little girl, play & spoil her extra and if the house work doesn't get done then so be it...tomorrow my attention will fully be on my precious little girl.

Yummy dinner!

Shrimp & Pasta Primavera

These are my new favorite thing! These spice packets make life so easy! All the spices are already measured out and so that definitely saves time! I made the shrimp and pasta primavera last night for us (this is the second time I made it) and it continues to get easier. I changed it up a little bit from last time by using angel hair pasta and putting in red peppers and broccoli with it. It turned out really good but I think I'm going to stick to the organic penne pasta I used last time. You should definitely try it!!

Also, I have to mention that we had Mom stay with us last night (and she LOVED the primavera) because their air is out and Daddy was on a business trip! We had a lot of fun and Teagan loved having her Mamaw there to say goodnight to!

Mooooo!

July 9th was Chick-fil-A's customer appreciation day or something...all know is that if you dressed up you got free food. We went to Chick-fil-A on the way to Jeana & Seth's get together and decided it would be fun to put on the hats and get free sandwhiches...even Teagan wanted a free sandwhich (that she later let her daddy have).

FEET!!!

Teagan has been playing with her feet a lot here lately but had no interest in eating them...I love it when babies "eat" their feet and have been anxiously waiting for her to find them and stick them in her mouth. Well, she finally did it this weekend! It is the cutest thing in the world! I love it!!!

Grocery Store

Okay, so we started eating much healthier since Teagan came along because since I'm still nursing I want to stay healthy so she can continue to be healthy. I want to give her what she needs. Finding those kind of things around here is not the easiest thing in the world to do. We have a Farmer's Market but it's kind of small so I can't really count on it. So we have to try and find the good stuff at a grocery store. I have found a new favorite grocery store! Bloom!! It's a great grocery store. I was able to find everything we needed...for 1 month and a half! Between store deals and coupons I was able to get that many groceries for under $200 dollars. Over half of the groceries were organic and wonderful! Okay, enough of that...the cutest part was Teagan! She got to ride in the big girl part of the buggy and it was beyond adorable!

July 4th weekend

July 4th is one of our families favorite holidays. We don't do fireworks but we do have a huge cookout with friends and family at my parents house. It's the annual Goodhue 4th of July cookout and it gets bigger every year! This year we had it on Saturday since the 4th fell on a Sunday. We decided to have a "parade" for the kids since the big parade was going to be late on Sunday and the babies needed to be in bed. It was so much fun to see how much the babies from last year had grown and how sweet the "new" babies were!
On Sunday we went to church and then the cookout afterwards with our amazing friends the Davis family! Bryson (2 and some change) got to watch the train go by and played with his big trucks. It was great!
Then that evening we got to go to the Whitewater Center just down the road from us with the Heavners to watch fireworks. The babies loved it! We strapped them in the babies Bjorns facing out and they couldn't take their eyes off the fireworks. It was great! We can't wait to go back next year!
