Hello and Happy Friday! It’s our last Friday of the school year, and we are ready for the weekend.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Here are some favorites from the week:
Favorite Moment(s)
My dad came to visit this past weekend. His birthday was on Tuesday, so I encouraged him to come see us, have some cake, and watch the kids’ last regular season track meet on Monday.
On Sunday, we grilled out steaks and had lemon Bundt cake for dessert. The weather was great, and we were able to spend some time outside.
Monday was the kids’ last regular season track meet. They’ve improved so much and had such a great time this season. Both of them have set PR’s in their events, and the last meet was only for 6th graders. Hayden ran the 1600, 800 and one relay. Hadley ran 100m and two relays. They had quite the cheering section!
On Wednesday, they had their last track practice where they celebrated the season with ice cream and awards. Hayden earned a silver medal for finishing second place (he lost by a fraction a second) in the 6th grade mile while Hadley earned the two bronze medals for third place finishes with her relay teams. That meet was a great way to cap off the season.
Hayden’s 4×800 relay qualified for state in a couple of weeks!
Favorite Pic(s):
The kids baptism was one year ago, and this week I randomly received the professional photos that were taken. The kids look both the same and older to me one year later. I hope that their faith remains strong and that their hearts always guide them.
Favorite Food(s):
We grilled out for my dad’s birthday, and I made two of our favorite summer dishes for sides.
This pasta salad is so easy and so delish. My favorite part is the bits of mozzarella!
My kids even request these asparagus fries. They are so good!
Favorite Mom Meme:
Relatable!
Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:
This throwback from May 2014 is so sweet. We loved pool days then, and we can’t wait for pool days now. The pool opens up next Wednesday!
Weekly Recap:
This week, I’ve shared a recap of the weekend, teacher gift ideas, and summer Amazon faves:
What are your plans for the weekend? The kids are running in a post-season track meet tomorrow and have youth Sunday at church. We have a few other things going on, but I sure hope to have some time to read and catch up on my tv shows!
See you back here Monday.

How fun! You’ve had a great week! Happy bday to your Dad. All of a sudden the end of school is here! What a roller coaster of a year it has been, right? It was so good, though. I hope you get some reading and relaxing in. I think it’s gonna be 92 degrees!

Happy belated birthday to your dad! Glad he was able to visit and spend time with family. Mmmm yum! Asparagus fries sounds delish. This would be a perfect appetizer for Memorial Day. We still have four more days of school. But definitely excited for summer break too. Enjoy yours and happy Friday!

I have been craving pasta salad this week and added ingredients to our grocery list to make one this weekend. I love that “salad season” is here now!

I agree and it’s the perfect side dish that’s even better the next day. I put less dressing on than it calls for but it’s nice that you can do it to taste
