Where did the last week go!  Man it went by quick.  We started my husband’s radiation last week and he did pretty well.  He felt very nauseated a couple of the days and takes about a 4 hour nap after treatment, but we are happy to be chugging right along.

This past weekend, we also had my sister in law visiting from Texas with her son.  It was a sweet time.  We took them up to ride horses and had some fun painting horses 🙂

Here’s what we are having this week:

Monday: Meal from friends

Tuesday: Steak, potatoes, broccoli

Wednesday: Meal from friends

Thursday: Meal from friends

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Chicken, cole slaw, mac and cheese

We had a pretty good week last week.  The kids got together with their cousins and had fun with our annual Easter egg hunt.

As I mentioned before, my husband’s cancer is back.  It has spread to at least 2 lymph nodes and at this point requires radiation to move forward.  We are on board with that plan.  He will have 15 treatments and then hopefully that will be the end of this season.  Even if it’s not, we will still give praise to God for giving us strength to move forward.  I don’t really know how these next few weeks will look for our family.  We are told that it’s likely that he will get sick, so we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.  We appreciate prayers during this season.

Monday: Meal from friends

Tuesday: Nachos

Wednesday: Meal from friends

Thursday: Grilled chicken salad

Friday: Dinner out

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Taco bar!

What are you up to this week?

I love my new fridge magnetic board for menu planning!  Isn’t it cool?  It came with 3 markers and is the perfect size to write down everything we need to know.

Last week was pretty good and then ended shockingly.  We found out that my husband’s cancer is back and spread to 2 lymph nodes in his lower back.  That was definitely not expected by us or by his oncologist.  This week, we will meet with the radiologist and then move on from there.

On to the meals:

Monday: Dinner Out

Tuesday: Buffalo Chicken Dip 

Wednesday: Beans and rice

Thursday: Fettucini alfredo with broccoli

Friday: Dinner Out

Saturday: BBQ

Sunday: Ham, rolls, mac and cheese

 

Meal Plan Monday!

We had a fantastic Spring Break 2019!  We had a bunch of family time, rode horses, played in creeks, had friends over, explored mountains, went on hikes, and more.  It was epic!  We even celebrated our 17th anniversary and thanks to my mom, scored 2 nights away from the kiddos.  Now I think I need a spring break from the spring break!  Not quite, though, as I do feel refreshed.  It was so very much needed.

The week ahead brings more scans and a visit to the oncologist for my hubby to recheck.  This is first one since after his cancerous tumor was removed.  We are a little nervous but very hopeful that there isn’t any reoccurrence.  Since it’s a busy week, I’m going to rely on some quick and easy meals.

Monday: Southwestern Quinoa

Tuesday: Egg casserole, toast

Wednesday: Grilled chicken salads

Thursday: Burritos

Friday: Cajun cream chicken

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Sandwiches

We had a great weekend and last week was a great week, too.  Thankfully my husband was off, so we were able to get some family time in.  He’s been doing a lot of overtime lately.  We had a great time at the PBR event.  I’m amazed at the talent!

Don’t forget that this weekend is the local Touch a Truck.  That’s always a fun event to take the kids.  Most of mine are no longer impressed, but at least I have the 3 year old who is obsessed! LOL!

Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Meatloaf, veggies

Tuesday: Black beans and rice

Wednesday: Cube Steak, Broccoli

Thursday: Brats, beans, chips

Friday: BBQ, salad

Saturday: Egg and sausage casserole

Sunday: Leftovers

Our youngest at Monster Jam

What an amazing weekend! My husband and I divided and conquered this weekend and were able to attend Marvel Universe Live, Monster Jam, a birthday party, and our oldest went to The Mix.  I hadn’t heard of The Mix before but our daughter is attending a new youth group and they go.  Basically it’s a ton of churches in the Athens area that get together for a huge middle and high school student event.  She had an amazing time and learned so much!  She can’t wait to go back next year!

Working to turn the monster truck back upright

 

As far as Marvel Universe Live and Monster Jam, both were huge hits with the crew.  We are so thankful to have been given the opportunity to check them out for you guys!

The week ahead is a little bit slower, in which they have a break from their homeschool classes that we do outside of the house.  Meanwhile, we will be doubling up to get caught up a little here at home.  Here’s what I plan to make this week:

Monday: Bean burritos

Tuesday: Crack Chicken

Wednesday: Chili

Thursday: grilled chicken, sweet potatoes

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Kielbasa and Brussels 

Sunday: Bean Soup
