Summer Shanna

I have been one crazy busy lady. Last week went by in a flash and I barely had time to catch my breath. It was worth the ten hyperventilations that almost occurred.

Here is a little glimpse inside Momma Shanna's world over the last 7 days.

Last week of school, Landry graduated Pre-K, blog post , Logan finished 2nd grade, blog post, last dance class and recital prep, blog post, teacher gifts finished, blog post, classroom parties attended, blog post, birthday lunch, birthday brunch, blog post, end of school pool party, major house/yard work, church, family coming into town and another birthday dinner with family and blog post.

Yep, it was one of those weeks.

Now for the warm and fuzzy photos...

Dinner with Ross and the girls at Z-Tejas. One of my favorites in all the world. Their seasonal menu is killer right now. I walked out needing a piggyback ride from all the food I shoved into my mouth. Ross and the girls got me a pair of yellow Kendra Scott earrings that I have been drooling over and a matching ring. I forgot to take a picture of these beauties. What's wrong with me? I am sure you will being seeing them very soon.

 

Then Friday, some of my best ladies took me to brunch at the Noble Pig. If you live in the Austin area this is a hidden gem on FM 620 and Anderson Mill. Best pimento cheese sandwich I have ever put into my mouth. And did I mention that these girls have been part of my life for over 15 years? We will definitely grow old together.

Next up, the last day of school. School's out for SUMMER!!! Yahoooooo! We ended the year with a little pool time at our friends' house and let the kiddos run swim wild.

Best part? My girlfriends caught wind of an Instagram picture I posted of me and my big brother from a "who knows what year I turned" birthday. My way back when cake said, "It's Your Day" and guess what? Yes, you guessed it, they got a birthday cake made saying the same thing and requested that I "recreate" my oh-so attractive look. See, I haven't changed too much over the years.

We are skipping Saturday because all that took place all day long was yard work, house cleaning and a short cool down in the pool. I was in bed by 10 o'clock Saturday night. It felt good, but you don't want to see pictures of that. 

Anyway, Sunday was church. We haven't been in a few weeks due to traveling. Another feel good. I love our church and this week was all about celebrating the kids and some clowning around. If you live in the Round Rock area, I would love it if you joined me on a Sunday morning sometime soon. You can find us at Celebration Church.

My big brother and parents came into town and of course we hit up the pool again. It's HOT here in Texas and it's what we do all summer long. It's kinda tradition around here. Gotta beat that summer heat somehow, right?

After a little dip in the pool, we headed to the Oasis for a sunset dinner with everyone. It was my last birthday hurrah and I went out with a bang...lake, family, clear skies, summer breeze, sunset and a couple of brewskies...life sure is good.

On another note, I was kinda MIA last week with reading blogs, commenting back and responding to emails. I apologize for that. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, but enjoying life all the same time. Now that summer is here (aka school is out) I am not 100% sure how I am going to manage my time since both my girls are home with me. I don't want to neglect them or the time we have together. So, please bare with me if I am not the best at returning emails and blog comments. I promise I read every single thing you guys write me. I have to figure out how how I am going to make my non-summer blog routine gracefully transition into my summer at home with the  kids. Any pointers? Shoot them over. Thanks for hanging with me.

Linking up with Leeann, Sami, Molly & Carly.
