Day 162: Shopping in Williams-Sonoma with my babies. We always have so much fun sampling, smelling, touching and checking out all of the fun baking and cooking stuff.
Day 163: It was a rainy and kind of cool Thursday, so we headed to our town square for lunch and pie with Sheaffer and Carter. Sheaffer and I declared it the perfect lunch…chicken spaghetti, Nutella pie and three kids who were so well behaved! 🙂
Day 164: My friends and I have declared this the summer we are the “fun moms” at the pool. We’re getting our hair wet and apparently, jumping off the diving board too. It was totally worth the humiliation of jumping off the diving board at our public pool just to hear the squeals of delight from my kids. Sarah, Karla and I had a blast!
Day 165: Just a typical Saturday. I followed behind this sweet boy as he skipped all over town.
Day 166: Happy Father’s Day to my sweet husband! He is such an amazing daddy to my kids. I am extremely blessed to raise these kids with him.
Day 167: Hello Monday. I was the first to arrive at my strength class on Monday morning…so I laid down and rested a minute…before the torture began ;).
Day 168: We all love Lovie Day around here! My mom took the kiddos to see a movie while I went grocery shopping. My kiddos love spending their morning with Lovie!!

We are really working hard on our Summer of Fun over here! Every day, I try and do something a little special and fun with the kids…and they love it! Here are a few pics from our summer of fun…
Kensington has become a fish this summer! I can’t keep her out of the pool and off of the diving board. I love, love, love seeing her be so active and having so much fun :).
Sheaffer and I had the best time visiting after lunch while our kiddos played by the window and watched it rain. Sheaffer brought a little bag of dinosaurs and cars and all three kids had so much fun entertaining themselves.
The boy has cheesy popcorn, candy Legos and a silly sister behind him…what else could he need?!
My kids are loving the sprinklers this summer! They play in them every chance they get!
Love my sweet boy 🙂
They played in the sprinklers (again) the other night and then took a selfie. XO
For lunch today, I’m making my Honey Mustard Chicken and Corn Wraps…
…these are such a simple lunch and work for a light supper too. Enjoy!

It's summer of fun here as well. 🙂 I've declared it a screen-free-summer, and we're having a blast! It's been easier than I imagined, and I LOVE that the kids are having so much fun – and hopefully making so many memories!! And girl, look at your rocking your swimsuit!!! I know you've done a shade of shay on your fitness routine – have you ever done one on your diet? And how you maintain looking so good? 🙂 happy summer! – Anna

Hi shay, love Kensingtons clothes! Could you share with us where you shop for your sweet daughter? especially the dress she wore to lunch on the cool and rainy Thursday? Thank you 🙂
Christy says
I agree with the above posts… Will you share your diet plan AND where you get Kensington's cute clothes/dresses? I LOVE the rainy day and the Father's Day outfits.
My original question was going to ask, "Where do you find chicken spaghetti in the square?"
Thanks! I wake up every single morning and read both of your blogs! I also love Shaffer's blog.

Shay,
I just wanted to thank you for your awesome blog and let you know you have inspired me! I wanted to start a blog for awhile and finally did. It is called: whereitcountsblog.blogspot.com I would love you to check it out and any feedback is welcome. 🙂 I know you probably get a lot of this! Thanks again-I read your blog daily!! ~Julie
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Yes. Hands down. BEST. LUNCH. OVER. rainy outside….chicken spaghetti, pie, and well-behaved kids inside. Perfection. And listen, consider buying me a couple of adult beverages at the pool tomorrow and MAYBE I'll let you take a picture of me jumping off the diving board. You can drive me and the little fella home after I've done my day drinking. 😉
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
I saw your "fun moms" post on IG last week and it totally inspired me! You look amazing in your swimsuit! Maybe if I had more body confidence, I'd jump off the diving board too. 🙂 Agree with the other posters, we need to see your workout plan!

You and your friends all wear bikinis?? So jealous! I can't tell you the last time I wore a bikini! I need to check your 52 Shades list and see if you've done one on what you eat!
Speaking of your 52 Shades, I just recently read your laundry/dishes one and have put your tips into use. This has been one area that I have not been able to keep under control and your tips are so simple and practical. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I recently discovered where mean girls go when they grow up – they hit the internet to "snark" on nice girls. I know you occasionally get comments from them and hope you ignore them and keep on doing what you're doing! There are still plenty of nice girls out there who love & appreciate you & your blog! You're one of my favorites that I read daily! 🙂
Darcy says
What fun pictures! Love the diving board pics – you all look like you're having a blast. 🙂
Jenny says
Your summer definitely looks fun. Can't wait to get ours started once the weather in Montana gets nice again. Ready to put my rain boots away and put on some flip flops.
Aubs says
The diving board pics?! awesome!! love it!! And those honey mustard chicken wraps?! SO trying them! And I love that I can make it work for my picky littles ~ one of them will eat the wrap and the other two I can just give them plain chicken with the corn! Winning! 😉
Narci says
I just love this! It is such a fun summer! So thankful to get to spend it with you and your sweet kids! yay, summer!
Sarah says
That last picture of them, so cute! And the one of you guys jumping off the diving board! So awesome, your kids will definitely remember how you guys were the mom's doing the fun stuff in the pool!
Angie says
You just won the funnest mom of the year title!!! My kids would be so mad if they saw this post 🙂

Shay, I have been looking everywhere for a pair of Ray-Bans like yours, and I can't find them! They look different than the traditional aviator but they are bigger than the cockpit style. Any chance you could share the model number? Thanks!
