Happy Tuesday, friends!
Here’s a little life lately…
Madeley had my phone at dinner to take pics of hot air balloons nearby…but she also took these pics as well…
…so much joy in this girl…
…and silliness too.
Awwwww! Love these pictures so much!
Madeley also took a selfie…
…and it’s perfect 😉 .
We’ve reached that time of the year when all of our pics are outdoors! We have been LOVING this beautiful Spring weather!!!
Once a week, I have kindergarten lunch duty…and always manage to steal a kiss!
I picked up Madeley’s iPad the other morning and realized she had changed her cover photo. My heart.
We could swing for days!
The dogs really love my new office too 🙂 .
Sweet Yankee! She always knows how to find a cozy spot!
Boy, I love this family of mine!
Heading off to a busy sports-filled Saturday…with all of my necessities. A bag, coffee and two cute girls in tow!
Madeley is such a trooper! Our sports schedule right now is crazy, but she wakes up early, goes from game to game, and not only does she not complain, she has the BEST time! I cannot wait until she’s ready to play a sport and the other three are there cheering her on.
The little girls helped their dad plant all of our spring flowers and our veggie garden! They were so excited!
The weather is so nice that we’ve been eating every dinner outside at home and when we go out to eat. The Yard in McKinney is our favorite outdoor dinner spot.
And just like that, the baby of the family lost her first tooth.
Only about 6 more weeks of school! This will be the last time Smith is ever in the same building as Madeley. All things considered, it’s been a great year for the three of them in elementary school. I was fun having kiddos bookend the experience this year.
All smiles for SPRING!!
See? We’ve been outside a lot! Ha!
No shoes, no shirt, a huge bag of veggie straws…it must be SPRING!
The weather was so nice that we played outside all day on Good Friday for Andrew’s birthday. The pool was too cold for swimming, but we wore our suits and just enjoyed being outdoors.
We could not stop laughing.
All Andrew wanted to do was to spend all day outside with his family celebrating 40…
…and then have a nice dinner that night.
We had the BEST time at Cafe Pacific in Dallas after our day by the pool.
This is 40 (and almost 40!).
And that’s a bit of life lately. xx

Happy Belated to Andrew! Can you share where Madeley’s cute gray sweater is from? It’s adorable! Thanks!
Lauren Sheaffer Sims says
Madeley with the bow on the swing is a total vibe. Love that girl!
Paula says
Sweet pictures!
Dana says
I love these posts! I think they help us all to embrace our daily lives, too. Seeing Andrew with the girls while gardening takes me back to my husband gardening with our kids who are now almost 19 and 17. ? Yesterday we had to tear out our dead bushes (from the snowstorm) and I knew I should have taken pictures! Thanks for the reminder. These days pass so quickly and being able to look back at them is the sweetest!
Mindy Amick says
First, you have a beautiful family!! What’s sunglasses do your older kids wear? My face is petite and looks like they might work for me.
Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Random ones they’ve collected over the years. I mean to tell you…it’s a random and not current assortment!
Kristen says
Beautiful beautiful family!! ❤️
Carrie says
This post just made me smile!
Danielle says

Danielle says
Thank you!!
Laurie says
Great pics of family! Did Kensington cut her hair? Question… why do your Instagram family photos give your skin an orange-y color ? Reminds me of the old Coppertone instant tanner QT from the 80s which gave the same orange tint. I like the pics in this post better.
Mix and Match Mama says
Because I like to have a cohesive kind of look on my Instagram. It makes me happy…all orange and all 😉 .
Biral says
Your family is so so so cute! Looks like y’all are having a blast this Spring!
Terry says
Who picks out all of your flowers for the garden?
Mix and Match Mama says
I pick out the veggies/herbs and then Andrew picks out everything else! He’s really good at yardwork!!!
Kim says
Hello Shay! I have never been to The Yard but I have been wanting to try it. Do they have gluten free options?
Mix and Match Mama says
They do! They have a g-free menu as well as their “normal” one.
Beth Graves says
Love them all! Kensington in that hat at dinner…she looks beautiful and looks so grown up!!! ❤️
Michelle O says
I can’t stop laughing either!
Diane says
All the spring vibes in these pics?! We invested in a heat pump for our pool, tried it out with the grandkids for Easter and love it! I wish we had bought it years ago. Hugs from this Baylor alum and the National champion Bears ???!
Lauren says
Love your Spring version of life lately! Where is K’s sun hat from? I’m looking for one for my 13 year old daughter and K’s is so cute on her.
Mix and Match Mama says
Target 🙂 I”m so happy that spring is here!!
Sandi Kellman says
I love your sweet family how fun for you all I’m hoping one day you can do a blog post on your vegetable garden I’m obsessed with Gardens right now we have one in our yard several raised beds! Have a beautiful day
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s on my list!!!!!!! Stay tuned!!!
Cathryn says

I see a photographer in Madeley’s future! Love your family!
Liz Thorson says
Lots of smiles, joy and fun for the Shull family! Happy Birthday to Andrew!?????????
Martha says
What happy pictures to share with us, thank you. I just love how Madeley is wearing her Minnie Mouse necklace in each picture! I remember my girls being little and wearing their favourite accessory all the time, with every outfit, in every picture. So sweet!
Sara says
I love the picture of your family in sunglasses! Can you please share which aviators you’re wearing in that pic? Ray Bans? Happy Spring! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re Ray Bans! They’re “blue gradient” from Nordstrom.
Diana says
I love that you get to do lunch duty for your kids at their school! My oldest started Kindergarten this year, and thanks to Covid we’re not allowed in the school for anything… so I’ve never been in the building and I’ve never even met her teacher! it’s so hard!
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s so hard!!!! Just to be clear, I get to help with only Madeley’s grade since I’m the designated “room rep”. I haven’t met Smith’s teacher or seen either his class or Ashby’s class (I have met Ashby’s teacher previous years, but Smith’s is new!). It’s hard not knowing the people your kids are with all day long. I’m so happy they’re back though!
Kacy M says
Madeley is so cute on the swing!!
Jenn says
Can you please tell me where you got that beautiful oversized chair Yankee is laying on? I’ve been looking for something similar and am having no luck!
