What's On My Happy List?

A Peek Into our Week:

Well, the dreaded day arrived.
Ya'll know how we feel about
this time of year. But nonetheless
we put on our brave panties.

Brie is a Freshman!
When did THAT happen?
😱

Nicest thing ever 

when you can just drop your kid off 

at Back to School Night and you don't 

have to go in cuz they know their 

way around the school, how to open a locker etc.

 She's excited to finally 

rule the junior high.  

She says little 7th and 8th graders

automatically move out of their 

way in the hallways.

{hilarious}  

Kate is in 4th!!!

She's always worn a dress
on the first day... then you
never see her at school
in one again.
AND her hair was down!
Will probs never see that
again for school either!
😂

She is in the same class as her cousin...AGAIN.
They've been together since preschool.

Brand new teacher and no close
girl friends in her class.
She was so nervous.
On the verge of tears.
So was I.

The one and only thing she gets 

way excited about

at the start of a new school year. 

Her backpack!

 *****
The week before school started we
had Alphabet Week...
Spelled out S-U-M-M-E-R...as it was the
last week of it.

Monday was S Day.
Kate has been dying to get a Sewing kit.
She was so excited about her fabric Swatches
too to make stuff for her barbies.

We went to the newly opened
Shake Shack.
{We were also celebrating Hannah
cuz apparently on this day it
was National Middle Child Day!}
Emmsie was home tending the dog!
😊

Overly crowded. Not quite sure what
the hype is about this place.
I wasn't overly impressed by
anything. haha

Kate and I had a Sleepover on the couch!

Tuesday was U day!
Unicorn treats, and Underwear
shopping. 😂

We watched Under the Tuscan Sun.

Kate knows how to set up for movie night!

👊

Wednesday was M day!
Taste tested these...

 and watched some of this!

Thursday was E day!

Kate and I went for Empanadas!

The Colombian is sooooo good!

😋

but the banana Nutella was her favorite!

On the weekend we celebrated R day!

We paid a visit to the RED Barn in Heber Valley

and Relaxed at Zermatt in Midway!

We ate at this fun restaurant!

Great entertainment....

 and yummy food!

 We will go back!

Not a fan of cheese curds tho, but fun to try!

We always go to Granny's for shakes!

 Kyleigh finding out some funny news!

These guys know how to laugh!

 Card playing...

cheese buying...
{I was in cheese heaven!}

and sister time!

The Red Barn is not only
known for their cheese but
for their Aggie Ice cream.

It was good, but
we are a little partial to the
BYU creamery.
😉

More yummy eats... or so we thought.
Poor Kyleigh got sick so probs no
more Tony Tacos for us ever again.

Too bad cuz I LOVED their re fried beans...

Hannie had to work and Emmsie didn't
want to leave the dog
so they weren't able to come
on this girl's get away with us.
😔

*****

In other miscellaneous news...

Snuggle time after a bath!

{Kyleigh never ever wanted a dog but

she sure has taken to this little guy.}

Bingley chill'in with Kate!

 One of Kate's masterpieces...

Kate has gone through a growth spurt!
We had to get rid of lots of clothes.

 and cut her overgrown hair!

Some fun with the cousins!

*****

Two of my favorite things this week!

This first day of school 

breakfast treat Emmsie and Hannah 

brought me from Kneaders...

and school pick up time!...
hearing how the first day went over
with a McD's hot fudge sundae....
{school stories crack me up}

We all survived!

😅
