A Columbus day update : )

Well Wed. Harper will be 30 weeks along! Last week at the Dr. my belly measures one week larger (consistent every time). That was our last monthly appointment- we have another in 3 weeks, then 2 weeks, then EVERY week until she arrives! I am so so so excited, we are very much ready. We have some awesome new friends Adam and Brandee and Brandee is due on the same day as me and they are having a little boy named Aree!! It is soo much fun to have another pregnant friend to talk about stuff with! We went to the beach with them this weekend:

Harper's room is coming along too! My dad is here visiting and he brought down the rest of her stufff!!

Ahh mondays..

Hey everyone!  It's been a crazy week so far and it's only MOnday!! We had a wonderful, pretty relaxing weekend though! Saturday we just did a little shopping and went to see the SWITCH and it was AWESOME!!! It was so funny and original and I just LOVED that movie so much! Sunday I taught my little kids at church, heard an awesome sermon, and Jon and I signed up for grouplink so we can get plugged in to a small group at church with other couples in our stage of life! Our church doesn't do the traditional sunday school setting, it's small group-focused so we are missing out right now not being in a small group! Anyways then sunday we got some stuff done like... cleaned out & washed our cars... cleaned a lot, took a load of things to our storage building that were taking up too much space in Harper's room! Ski stuff.. camping stuff.. etc. Then went grocery shopping! Fun Sunday! SO Monday.. NOT so fun! I made a cup of coffee and got some work done and got a fresh cup of coffee and went and sat on the edge of the bed to wake jon up and BOOM his knee comes up from under the covers, tossing my VERY fresh cup of coffee all on my lap!! I did not handle it well i screamed and cried- that was pretty much the fastest Jon has ever woken up! lol THEN, Jon broke a mirror on the way to throw it away! Baaaad luck... Jon left really early to go work out- he's been working out EVERY day! Other than that today has been work, work, work! Can't believe I will offically be (medically) six months pregnant on wed. WOW I really don't feel like I'm very big for being 6 months! It is just flying by. I will try to do another post on Wed. for a 24 wk/6 month pregnant post!

OH yea, Saturday, a few things we got while shopping were of course a few things for Harper! Outfits, bows, and a "My story" book!! I love it! I haven't kept a pregnancy journal so this is a cute substitute for Harper and it is SOO cute, I've been working on filling it out for her! Here are a couple of pictures!
THE ONESIE ON THE LEFT WITH THE PEACE SIGN IS MY FAVORITE!!!

Look how cute! It came with a kit to do her ink footprint

Starting filling out her book for her- have to add lots of pics!

A few things hanging in her closet- can't wait to add tons more!

Chicken and mushrooms!! Yummm

Chicken and mushrooms! Yum

Ok, so today we made a new crock pot recipe and it was AWESOME so I am posting it up so everyone can try it out too! 

Hope yall enjoy it as much as we did!

Ingredients:
-4 bone in chicken breasts with skin removed
-salt
-pepper
-lemon pepper
-paprika
-1cup of sour cream
-1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms
-1/4 cup of white wine or chicken broth (we used chicken broth)

After removing the skin, sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, paprika and place in the crock pot.
Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken pieces.
Cook on low 6-8 hours (we did 8 hours- chicken was very tender)
Serve over rice or egg noodles- we had it with brown rice- jon said we should have added a little butter and salt to the brown rice but I like it plain!

Harper's Crib!

SOOO today we put together sweet Harper's crib! Of course totally Jobrey style we threw away all crib hardware away earlier in the day yesterday! SO late last night when Jon got home, he had to go through our APARTMENT dumpster and dig the hardware box out! Luckily there was a back door so it was pretty easy to get out. : ) ANYWAYS we slept in super late this morning and ate breakfast.. got dinner ready and started it in the crocpot... drank too much coffee... layed around forever.. Jon learned some new stuff on guitar.. and then we put the crib together! The boys were very curious what we were doing in that room! lol Here are some pictures!

Lazy Saturday pugs!

Learning new song on guitar!

Getting Started! That's the hardware box we threw away! lol

Started to read directions, then just gave up on that! We winged it : )

Serious get-to-work face

Ok we thought this was hilarious but we have NOT taken the plastic off the mattress- don't worry we will not let the pugs all over our baby stuff : )

Harper Kaylee Tilson!

Hi everyone!!!! Well I'm officially the worst blogger ever! : ) My big sis is trying to make me change my ways- good luck Manda! Well I guess I will just start blabbing about nothing now: JON AND I ARE HAVING A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!! IN case you haven't heard yet. It is the best news ever. It squeezes so hard on my heart to think about it... If she was not trying to kick out of my belly right now I don't know if I could believe it's true. : ) Being pregnant has been the best best best time of my life so far. Jon is so awesome and understanding... well there hasn't been that much to be very understanding about. I have generally been a happy bouncy pregnant lady lol. It hasn't been too hard on me at all so I guess it hasn't been too hard on him either! Yay! Her name is Harper Kaylee Tilson! We just picked the name out last weekend! Her precious nursery furniture came in yesterday and we will be putting the crib together in the morning! Jon says his little princess now has a place to sleep! Everyone says they can SO picture Jon with a little girl! I guess i can too! I guess I have NO mother's intuition since I was SO sure that this was a little boy! Poor Harper, I called her a HE about a thousand times! Ummm what else is new.... umm work is awesome, I really love working in new construction! visit our website www.geordandothan.com. My office is in the model home and it's a lot of fun.. hard work but it is fun! Anyways.. that is so not as interesting as my daughter! : ) I will try to think of some more updates and post some soon! I will definitely post some updates as we work on Harper's room and get it all cute looking! At the top is the most up to date belly pic that I JUST took!

Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

HI Everyone! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Jon and I did! We woke up and laid around forever watching the Macys parade and drinking coffee.... Then we started cooking around noon and watching the dog show! We made all of our fav Thanksgiving dishes and tried a new one- Pumpkin cheesecake- BEST THING EVER!!! I took a picture of the food!

Then we went to see a Christmas Carol in 3d and it was awesome! And we finally sold the tickets to the Radio City Christmas extravaganza, My uncle scott bought them and my Aunt Sharon and Amanda are going to go! That was a relief, I did NOT want to waste 8o dollars! Um what else is new.. hmm I should have my real estate license approved any day now so I have a TON of stuff to do for that! Well.. not much else is new, we are just super excited to come home for Christmas! We will be in town on the 19th! Anyways we miss our sweet families and love you!

Updates on everything!

Hi Everyone! I miss everyone so bad, sorry that my blog posts are extremely rare! Here are some updates!!

We went to Stoney Lonesome Jeep trails with Ryan & Haley (Jon's friend from work and his wife- they also have a jeep wrangler). We spend the night in an awesome little cabin, went swimming and went on Jeep trails during that weekend! Here are pics and videos!

Here is Jon grillin out some burgers in front of our cute little cabin!!!

Following Ryan & Haley in their Jeep!

A cool sign that points to an Extreme Rated trail that is for Jeeps only!!

Look at this happy happy happy boy! That face is priceless he was having so much fun!!

Me, Boogie, the Jeep, and some trail mix! Fun day!

Creek Crossing video!!

Another Creek Crossing Video! lol

SO that is it for the Jeep trails! We will go back next spring!

Next update: My friends Hannah & Kim came to visit, and then Taylor & chelsea came too! Chelsea and taylor only stayed for one day though because they were headed to Destin to her family's condo for her family vaca! So Hannah, Kim, and I went to stay with her family for a couple of days later in the week! I had soOOOO much fun with them! Here is a pic!

We got to see crazy storms on the beach for about 30 mins!:
But don't worry, the sun came back out!

Then Hannah & Kim left Saturday morning, so Jon and I had a very relaxing lazy weekend after they left! We went to dinner and a movie on Saturday, went to church on Sunday and then went to our Dave Ramsey class Sunday night! Yes, we are taking Financial Peace University again because we feel like we can apply it more now that we actually have regular income ( it is truly hard to make a cash flow plan without any cash flowing... : ) lol) and once you have paid for the course once, you can take it for free as many times as you want! So wiregrass church is having the class and the first one was last Sunday! we LOVE it! After that (our class gets out at 6) we grilled out some kabobs by the pool! Here are a couple of pics!

Drivin around in the Jeep on the weekend, I think this was on our way to dinner.

Jon grillin some kabobs! They were SO yummy!

I suppose that concludes the updates for now! We are so excited about Will's wedding coming up in a few short weeks! Well.. about 4 I guess! But it will be here before ya know it and we will get to see family! YAY!! BUT no Lydia & Bo : ( Don't know when we will see them next! We are going to Destin again this weekend and staying at our friend Trey's condo so that will be fun. And then the weekend after that, MY SISTER AND MY COUSIN KYLE ARE COMING IN TOWN TO VISIT!!!!! : ) Daniel is coming too but he won't be here until later in the week! And it is Daniels bday and he has softball tournaments in Panama city on Labor Day weekend so we get to go watch him play! So I will blog more about that fun stuff later! Miss you & Love you!
