Hello! It is time for my Friday recap! We have had an eventful week filled with pool time and being outside! My fav! Every week, I link up with Lauren and Jeanette for my week in review! 

Last weekend, we gave my sister, Chelsea a bridal shower in my parents back yard! It was a blast! It was brunch themed! 

I got some matching dresses for my girls at Old Navy for the summer. I love them!

I made a Summer Bucket List in our kitchen on our chalkboard walls! I love having it up as a reminder to seise the day! 

Father's Day was a blast! We celebrated my hus by going to Chipotle with friends from church. After lunch we took our girls to the pool! Our favorite summer spot for our family! The girls are in their glory in the water.

Last night, we got to go on a date! It was lovely. We went to a local restaurant, ZZest for an amazing dinner. They have the best patio for outside dining. I had roasted cauliflower, swiss chard, raisins, and cheese. I got a rhubard dry soda too! Yum. After din, we went to the movie, Man of Steel. It was a great night to celebrate us. Thankful for our friends that watched our kiddos. 

Did you do anything fun this week? Any fun plans for the weekend? Happy Friday!

Backyard Bridal Shower + Fam time

This past weekend we hit up Red Wing to stay at my parents to celebrate my sister, Chelsea's Bridal Shower. It was the perfect day. The sun was shining. The flowers were blooming. The cinnamon rolls were baked. The coffee was made. The family and friends gathered......and we celebrated! 

We had a relaxing night on Friday with my parents. The girls got baths and we celebrated Fathers day. Zakiyah is loving her avocados still. She is obsessed with chicken as well.

Cara gave the kids a bath. We thought it was going to be pleasant and cute. Not so much. Kiyah was not a fan.

On Saturday morning,  Chelsea and I headed down to Caribou and the farmers market to get flowers for the shower. My mom and I set up the deck with lots to tables and seating. It was beautiful. We just needed some flowers for centerpieces. 

Driving downtown Red Wing made us excited for the Labor Day weekend wedding. It is going to be fun to shoot pix down there. Can't wait.

I love the sidewalks. So fun.

I got my girls some matching dresses at Old Navy. I love the red/white/blue theme!

We tried getting a good pix, but Zion was not having it. 3 YEARS OLD. 'nuff said.

Some of the decorations.......loved the atmosphere.
