Friday Favorites {#166}

Hello and happy Friday!

How was your week? Ours was really good. It *finally* felt like a pretty normal week. We didn’t really set alarms, stayed up a bit later, Hadley had dance, Hayden had basketball, we had pool time and did a few other things too.

I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorite from the week:

Going all the way back to last Thursday…since Hadley wasn’t home for the 4th of July, we took a moment for sparkler fun. The sunset was so pretty too.

Friday was Trav’s birthday!

Friday night, we went out to eat with Trav’s brother and sister-in-law. If gnocchi is on the menu, I often order it!

We were pretty full after dinner, but Hadley convinced us to order dessert. Smiles for everyone.

When we got home, Travis opened his gifts. We just got him a running shirt, socks, and beer mugs because he loves a frosty beer! Overall, it was a really good night.

The next morning, Hadley left for the lake. I’m telling you, she doesn’t let the grass grow under her feet! haha.

She spent the day on the lake and overnight with her friend.

On Sunday, Travis had to work in the morning, but then his family came in town from Louisville, so we could celebrate him. My brother and his family also came over as well as a couple of Trav’s cousins who also live in Lexington.

We picked up fried chicken, and the rest of us made some sides. We had a few desserts including a Bundt cake for the birthday boy!

I also ordered cups from a local vendor…He really appreciated all this attention 😉

We got a quick photo before cake…

After everyone left, I got off my feet and relaxed on the back patio. The sunset was pretty, and the weather was great!

Speaking of the patio…

On the 4th of July, Travis and I went to Walmart to pick up a new couch for the patio.

We’ve had the same love seat for fifteen years…and Homer and #homered it when he was a puppy. This is the same couch we have in the sun room, and Travis noticed it was on sale. We figured we have loved that set for over three years, and it would be nice to have one more spot to sit with a couch vs a love seat.

So, the three piece set is $100 off, and we had to drive to a Walmart about 30 minutes away to pick it up. Hayden helped him assemble it, and we’ve been enjoying it ever since.

We have the cushions it came with , but we also picked these dark gray ones as well.

Hayden’s been playing basketball this summer like usual, but he’s missed a couple of games when he was out of town. So, that’s back on our agenda. It’s a laid back summer league, and fun to watch him play with different kids.

Wednesday night, we watched two episodes of the new Quarterback series on Netflix. Hadley even joined in on the fun! Of course, we’re excited that Mahomes is featured, but it’s interesting to learn about Cousins and Mariota too.

We’ve had some pool time this week. It makes me sad that pool days are already numbered. I’ve been able to go at least twice a week, but Hadley tends to go to the pool the most in our family. haha

Well, I didn’t mean for this to be the case, but lots of my “pampering” appointments lined up this week. On a whim Tuesday night, I decided to get a pedicure. It had been almost two months, so I was ready for a refresh.

I chose “Mexican City Move-mint” again because I like to choose one that I also have the color at home if I need a touch up.

I used my Mother’s Day gift card and had an hour long hot stone relaxation massage on Wednesday…and it was wonderful.

I probably end up getting two massages a year. While I will schedule my facials, hair appointments, and pedicures a few times a year, I usually only get a massage if it’s a gift…so I always appreciate those gift cards.

Then, I had my hair appointment yesterday, and it’s always nice to get fresh highlights and a trim.

Favorite Clothes:

I’ve been wearing this romper non-stop. It’s just easy to throw on with a tank and go.

I got this navy crepe set from SSYS, and I love it. I’ve worn it a few times and can’t wait to wear it more. (It comes in a few colors!)

Favorite Mom Meme:

We laughed when Hadley got off the camp bus wearing a new sweatshirt. She loves a sweatshirt all year long.

Weekly Recap:

I had a couple of posts this week including our monthly Not Just a Mom link up and tons of Amazon faves.
