Five on Friday Tuesday

I have a lot of posts started that I can't seem to get finished! I feel like this summer has been very status quo, and there just hasn't been a whole lot to blog about. So instead of blogging about nothing, I haven't blogged! Hopefully, with changes on the horizon, this will change!

ONE

School starts TOMORROW!
I can't wait to share the girls' first day of school outfits - be prepared to die.
ALSO, Drew got Trent's lower elementary teacher, and I'm so happy.
I think their personalities are really going to mesh!

I have spent the last week in a tizzy of school supply shopping,
clothes shopping, shoe shopping, schedule checking...
I have a small list of things I need to finish, but we're getting there!

TWO

The end of summer...mixed emotions here...
On one hand, I think we're all fading fast - 
it's SO hot, the kids {except Paige} are getting sick of the pool, they're bored.
And some peace and quiet during my work day will be so nice.

On the other hand, I'm not sure any of us are ready for the chaos that the school year brings.
I'm already dreading the alarm clock on Wednesday.

THREE

I got my Jazzercise bag! 40 classes in 2 months!!
It was a lot of work {sometimes I had to do 6 classes in a week},
but it was totally worth it. I love a good challenge. {grin}


FOUR

Trent and Drew seem to be losing teeth way too quickly for my liking.
Drew lost her first 2 teeth this summer, which is so fun.
And Trent lost at least 4 - maybe even 5 or 6!


FIVE

Family Golfing

It's been hard to be outside the last week or so.
The kids are tired of swimming, and it's insanely hot.
[The high tomorrow is 104]
But we have done a little family golfing!
Trent is actually learning to play, Drew is starting to learn,
and Paige is just having a blast doing what the big kids do.

It gets me excited thinking about things we can do together as the kids get older.

Plus, isn't that sunset beautiful??

Salado Birthday Shenanigans

Today I turn 39! EEEEEK!
I can't believe I'm entering my last year in my 30s.

Brent had a great idea to go to a cute town {Salado} near us for a night,
and 3 of our couple friends came along.
The guys golfed and the girls shopped, then we all met up at the pool.
We got cleaned up for a nice dinner and then did a little bar-hopping.
Such a great time, and I'm starting 39 feeling a lot of happiness!

Karin ~ Rhonda ~ Allena ~ Susie


Chicken & waffles brunch with mimosas. Yes please!

Fancy at dinner!

Brent eating a deviled egg - my nightmare

 Within walking distance of the hotel were 2 breweries that were so cute!
I'm not much of a beer fan, but both places had good ciders.

Riley and Susie





Board games! A perfect night!

Scrabble strategizing

The second brewery also had games!
Somehow we end up playing Jenga a lot??? 


I love how you can see Brent's finger pushing on the Jenga stack!

Brothers who dress alike...






Love my friends! 

Sunday morning we stopped at a little coffee shop we found shopping.
They had all these specialty toast dishes, and it was AMAZING.

Excited over avocado/fried egg/tomato toast 
{Another nightmare of mine!}

My breakfast - AMAZING!
1) peanut butter and nutella
2) creamy brie with apple slices and honey drizzle

We all agreed this needs to be an annual trip!
