Wow, midweek already and I haven't been here since Friday! As you saw from my last post, Friday was Jason's 40th Birthday!!! He took the day off work, but it was just a quiet day of relaxing at home. Saturday was the day we celebrated, with our friends/neighbors and my inlaws, over at Cheryl's house! You're probably wondering why not our house? Well, Cheryl has the pool, remember, and it has still been over 100 degrees every day, so we knew her place would be best, so the kids (and anyone else that wanted to) could get outside and play. Believe me, if there's no pool to keep cool, there's no way you want to be out in this heat!
Here's Kristen and Jason in the pool on Friday night - Kristen is holding up 4 fingers and making a '0' to show her Daddy is 40 :-) Here's a few more pictures from the afternoon and evening. . . .
Birthday boy and Mama! She said this was harder on her than it was on him! I'm sure she's still wondering where the last 40 years went!!
For the record I think the camera added about 20lb to me in this picture!!!
I forgot to get a close up picture of the cupcakes I made. I put pictures of Jason when he was about 7 on top of them!
Our gracious host Cheryl :-)
The days are flying by, next week is our last week before school starts! I wish that would indicate the weather will be turning cooler, but usually it doesn't. The lowest temps in the 10 day forecast is 103! (the lows at night are 75!). I am so ready for the heat to be over.
In the meantime, I am gathering my supplies to redo my dining room, based on Susan's Inspiration Board :-) So far I have an orchid plant from Target, a burlap runner from Etsy, I've ordered chair covers from Target online, bought the Annie Sloane Chalk Paint for the buffet and ordered that gorgeous chandelier (which unfortunately is on back order, but only for 2 weeks). I can't wait to start pulling it all together, but probably won't make a start on it til Kristen goes back to school.
Hope you're all having a great week so far. I'll be back soon with more posts before the weekend!

Happy Birthday to your husband! Hope this year is a wonderful one for you all! And wow on the heat. It is so brutal there - come up north and cool down a bit!
Staying out of the heat is what it's about!
Mercy, it has been soooo hot this summer. Hard to take. This week we're having some rain and cooler temps. Relief!
Happy belayed birthday to your hubby. 40 is a great age.
Can't wait to see your dining room!
Sounds like your plans are lovely.
The best to you,

Happy Birthday to your hubs!
How much fun!! I wish I had a pool...
What a sweet birthday party post. I can't even imagine the heat but remember from when we lived in Texas.
Hi Denise! Looks like a great birthday party! You always seem to make things extra special. His Mom looks too young to have a 40 year old!
I can't wait too see pics of your dining room redo. Sounds like it will be nice!
We are burning up in this heat too. Thats one thing bad about here...the heat! Stay cool Denise. Hugs!
Happy Birthday to your husband. It looks like everyone had a great time at the party. And if that picture added twenty pounds to you...you must be very thin...cause you look great! Carla
I loved seeing these photos, Denise! Jason looks so happy--as well he ought to, being married to you!
His mom doesn't look old enough to have a 40-year-old son. Not that 40 is old, of course. . . in my opinion, 40 is quite young!
I hope y'all get a break in the heat sometime soon!
