What's Up Wednesday!

This is my first What's Up Wednesday post! I'm so excited because they are pretty much my favorite to read!

1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:

Sunday we were in Brainerd so we decided to hit up costco because it clearly has the best deals and produce! So we are well stocked for a while! 

• Monday: Pork chops and green beans. Do you shop at costco? If so they have these skinny green beans in the produce room. TO DIE FOR! So good! Get them now. Also it has been really really warm here lately. Like 56 and we are usually mid twenties! So we have been grilling as much as possible! 
• Tuesday: Stuffed red peppers. These are so easy and so delish. I did this recipe but did rice instead of quinoa since I didn't have it on hand and added ground beef! 
• Wednesday: We got heart shaped pasta at costco for sale because it is past Valentine's day and we will fix that!
• Thursday: I think Elliot has a nose polyp.... anyone ever had this issue? So we have a late last minute doctor appointment and I'm thinking we will swing through somewhere on the way home
• Friday - Sunday: Momma and Daddy are on a kid free, friend filled fest! 

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

The last year of ice fishing and camping. Now for those of you not familiar with ice fishing, its pretty much a camper on ice. No lie. Well when we first got ours we didn't know how much we would use it so we got a base model knowing we could always upgrade. Well we pulled the trigger today and got us a bigger more camper style one! I've just been thinking about all the memories we have had in it and the ones to come! Here are some snap shots from it! 

 Sitting in the fish house for the first time. Elliot testing it out! 

 Elliot's first fish. Not excited about it! 

Even - 20 degrees didn't keep us home! 

Warming up to fishing. She looks like such a baby! 

Last trip of the year up in Northern MN

First camping trip! Itasca State Park where the Mississippi River starts! 

Black Hills in South Dakota in our hammock! 

Hammock Relaxing! 

First fishing trip of this season! New Years Day! 

Dixie lounging! 

Pretty view of the lake.

Last sunrise of the fishing season! 

3: WHAT I'M LOVING:

This warm weather! Seriously GORGEOUS weather! It's like it's pretty much summer. Except next week it will be 15 degrees and we will get a foot of snow. That is how MN winter works. 

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

Lots of busy weekends! Last weekend at brainerd we had the best time ever! Check out my loves at the pool! 

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:

I need to pack for the girls to be at my sisters all weekend and then pack for Jason and I. I hate packing, and I always wait till last minute, and I always forget something. Last weekend I didn't pack socks for Jason. Whoops! He told me I was fired from packing for him.... lets hope! 

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:

My bod. Not what you meant with this? Well its my main focus right now! I've worked out 5 times a week at least for two months (minus our vacation) and I'm FINALLY starting to see results. If you like home videos check out Jillian Michael's 90 day body revolution. KILLER!

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

Two full days of pure adult fun time! We are going to an ice fishing tournament (aka party on ice) for real check it out. It's all about catching these huge ugly fish. But there are parties and bar tents and vendors all over the lake! I am so stoke to get some adult time with Jason and also hang out with all our close couple friends! 

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

Ok so I either read so hard that I fly through books and ignore anyone and everyone or I go months without reading. But I just jumped into this one that I have had forever and lets just say I'm rather intrigued. For a while Nicholas Sparks was getting a little too gushy mushy for me, it seems he brought back a little mystery/plot to this one and so far I love it! 

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

I always listen to Spotify this is Thomas Rhett. My fav! But this is almost embarrassing to admit but the other day I was running and singing so loud to Call Me Maybe but within fifteen minutes I was rapping Eminem. Jason came down and just laughed. What can I say, I like to mix it up! 

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

I've got to get back to snapping some outfit choices I make! Next time I'll be able to post some, but for now I'll leave you with what I haven't been wearing... a jacket! Holla!!!!! 

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Just Kidding! That isn't me.... and I won't be kissing any fish... but that is a picture from the Eel Pout Festival! 

12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

March Madness!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not a basketball watcher, but I am over the course of March Madness due to the fact that I am SO competitive and I definitely do brackets with family! The first day of March Madness my sister and her husband host an all day event at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the games and I take the day off for it and it is SO fun!

13: WHAT ELSE IS NEW:

 Absolutely nothing! I feel like we haven't done that much but its already almost March! Holy Cow! Ready for warm weather all the time!
