Aloha from Aloha Day in First Grade!
While I savor every second of my fourth and final Aloha Day (someone please come hold me), I’m leaving you guys here with some life lately for your Wednesday.
Lots of sunny skies and happy smiles below…
Walking to school with these two is one of the highlights of my day!
After school though…
…sometimes, we throw all of our rules out the window, take off our pants and hop in the pool with ice cream 🙂 .
We had a super fun Cinco de Mayo party with some friends on our street a few weeks ago…giant inflatable and all!
You guys, my babies are getting taller than me. What in the world?!
These four.
Saturday soccer games are even more spectacular when the Slaughters all show up to support our girl! How sweet are they?! Ashby was THRILLED to have the Slaughter Six in attendance for her game!
Off we go! If we’re not walking to school on beautiful days, we’re biking!
Apparently, I have a lot of pics of these two cuties before school. I can’t help it! The weather is sunny and so are their smiles!!
One more just for good measure 😉 .
Mother’s Day was all of my favorite things…yoga, church, swimming, baseball games, and Mexican food. We were dirty, tired and happy at the end of the day.
Miss Madeley sits and learns how to draw on our Amazon Echo every day. She’s our little creative one. Our artist. It always makes me so happy to see her perched up there working on her craft.
The Byron Nelson golf tournament moved to McKinney last year which means…all the food, friends and fun is super close to home! We took off work last Friday to enjoy the day! We had SO MUCH FUN!
Saturday morning Starbucks runs with my middle are extra sweet!
If we’re not a baseball right now, we’re in the pool!
Speaking of the Byron Nelson, Jeni had her annual party on Saturday night (she lives backed up to the course!). It was so much fun!!!
Man, I love my girlfriends SO MUCH!!
And finally…
…tis graduation season! We attended the sweetest tea for our friend Landri! These girls love her BIG TIME!
And that’s a little life lately. xx

I love a Life Lately post!!!! So fun 😊 What is in your Starbucks cup? I’m always wanting to try new things there!!
Mix and Match Mama says
That is just an iced coffee (unsweetened) with a splash of half and half!
Nicole says
I need to know your summer Starbucks order?! And go to cocktail order? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Right now, iced coffee (unsweetened) with a splash of cream or a Ranch Water (tequila, lime and Topo Chico).
DJ says
I love the biking to school but how do you get all the bikes home by yourself? Or are they allowed to stay at school? I was a walker as a kid and I’m intrigued at the bike logistics!
Mix and Match Mama says
So Smith goes to school after the girls and gets out after the girls, so when school is over either I bike up there to get them (and put the buggie on my bike) or I take the golf cart up there and Mades and I follow Ashby home.
Claire says
Intrigued! Shay, y’all have a golf cart? Sounds so fun!!
Emily Cecil says
What is the app/program Madely uses for the drawing? My kindergartner is crafty and would love this!
Mix and Match Mama says
How to Draw! You can find it on YouTube!
Tracy W Doubts says
Thank you for sharing! Does Yankee run with you guys when you are biking?
Mix and Match Mama says
Some mornings she does!!
Caitlin says
I love that sleeveless striped shirt you had on Mothers Day! Possible to link it?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Abercrombie! It’s a bodysuit tank!
Arika says
I think the drawing of Bluey deserves a little frame!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s precious, right?!
Amy says
Could you share again the website Madeley uses to learn to draw. My daughter would love that. Thanks so much.
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It’s YouTube ‘How to draw’!
Kathy says
Smith looks like he’s really had a growth spurt recently. Is he catching up to Kensington? Very nice photographs.
Mix and Match Mama says
He is! They’re all getting SO BIG SO FAST!
Beth Valenta says
Love the happiness of summer! Can you send me the link to your blue Boston hat? I love the ones you pick and heading there soon.
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought it in Boston at the Jersey Street Store!
Beth Elliott says
I love your life lately posts 💕 and I never thought to use the echo show for my kids to do art. I’m curious, do you just ask it to bring up such and such to draw?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s super easy! You say “Echo, open YouTube ‘how to draw'” and it opens right up!
Tish says
Random but what socks do you wear with tennis shoes for walking/running or just to the ballpark?
Mix and Match Mama says
I go barefoot… 😉
Julie says
This is not a life lately question, but a Isle of Paradise self tanning drop question~ I bought a two pack last year, and when I opened the second bottle recently it has changed to a gold/brownish color. Has that ever happened to you, and do you think it’s ok to use?
I enjoy your blog everyday and feel like we’re friends. Isn’t that the funniest thing!! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
It has before! If you shake the jar really well, it will be just fine!
Alison says
I love this life lately!! All the pool time is the best!!
Anna says
What kind of dog leash is attached to the bike!?
Mix and Match Mama says
One for dogs and bikes! We bought it at the bike shop by our house. Yankee LOVES it!
Katie says
May is looking good over there! I LOVE the Byron Nelson and was also there Friday & Saturday! Such a great time! Wish I would’ve seen you guys!🧡
Holly says
Fun fact: my grandfather caddied for Byron Nelson. He gave my Papa his first set of clubs.😊
Mix and Match Mama says
Noooooo! That’s so cool! That’s a crazy cool fun fact!
Sheaffer says
Your life lately has been pretty sweet!
Kathy Rader says
You and your family and friends are so awesome. I have followed you for years+ first time commenting.
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwww! Well thank YOU! You have no idea how much that means to me, Kathy! Please comment again!!!
Kristin says
Shay, what’s your current Starbucks order? I’m in a rut and need some coffee inspo 😃
Mix and Match Mama says
If it’s hot, Pike with a splash of cream and if it’s cold, then an iced coffee (unsweetened) with a splash of cream. I’m so boring.
Tara says
Love a life lately! I can see why you love the month of May so much such fun things and beautiful weather! I wish Long Island, NY had Texas May weather we have had a horrible spring so far. Your post is making me want to get a pool! 🙂
Allison Behrens says
I see Ashby is reading one of my favorite books – love Roz and all of her wild robot-ness!
