Friday was my birthday, so needless to say, we had a great weekend :).
My morning started off with a sweet card and a gift from these two cuties :).
Then, I did what all glamorous ladies do…I took my kids to Chick-fil-a with my friends and watched them all slide down the slide at one time over and over again.
The UPS man brought Kensington and me books to read! I’ve already started Mad About the Boy and I’m mad about it!
I picked Maggiano’s for my birthday dinner because I just love their pasta (and the ambiance and the Sinatra music they play, and so many other things…).
I love spending time with my sweet family!
While Andrew took Kensington to the family restroom, Smith and I occupied ourselves with selfies :).
On Saturday night, my mom hosted my family birthday dinner at her house. We were all set for the Red Sox game that night!
I love these two guys 🙂
I also love my sweet cousin Brooke!
I am incredibly blessed to have my two grandmothers! It’s so neat to have such wonderful women in my life…and it’s neat that they have been friends for over 40 years! I love them both!
I had help with my candle blowing 🙂
My two girls…Kensington and Paisley
Thank you to my parents for such a wonderful family dinner!!
And some bonus Monday pics…
Narci asked Kensington and Ebby Lee to be two of the models for her Sweet Honey photo shoot…we were so honored and I must say, absolutely thrilled with their pictures!
Such sweet friends!
Don’t forget, this is the last week to register for the Workout Mama’s online boot camp! You will love the convenience and motivation of this program!
And today’s Meal Planning Monday is a special Halloween Edition…
Have a great Monday!

Happy belated birthday, Shay! I've missed your blog in the mornings. Reading the post is part of my routine at work, and I was super sick for a few weeks. Beautiful photos!

Loved your Smith selfies and can I just throw out there that that pic of Ebby Lee and K NEEDS to be on a canvas in each of their rooms. Such sweet friends!

Hi Shay! Is that book for K a good book for independent reading for her, or do you read it to her? I am always lookin for ideas for my granddaughter, who is K's age. Thanks!!

Hi Shay! I'm Kelsey and I've been reading for a couple months now! You are so adorable and fun, and stopping by your blog is a wonderful part of my morning.
I played the violin at Michael Buble's show last weekend, and it made me think of you because I remember reading about your love for that beautiful man! 🙂 I just did a short post about the show. It was so much fun to get to perform with him!
Happy Birthday!

Happy belated Birthday! My birthday is next week and even at 29 I will also be celebrating with a birthday dinner at my parents house. Hopefully when my daughter is my age I'll still be cooking her dinner on her bday as well. 🙂 I love reading your blog simply for the love you have for your family and others around you. Have a fabulous week!

I just love your blog! We are a huge baseball lovin family too! We love the Rangers because my husband and I grew up in Arlington and we love the Cardinals because my great uncle/grandfather is Dizzy and Daffy Dean who played for the Cardinals! So we are rooting against you on this one! 😉 Your little red sox fan sure is cute though! Have a great day! 🙂

I had maggiano's for the first time about a month ago and loved it! I am still thinking about it. I wish they had one in the Fort Worth area.
