September BACK to school 2021

Lighthouse Point...   Great days on the water!

This is our Bella Boo.. she has a deep relationship with Dunkin Donuts. This is an edited picture by Garrett of her waiting for her favorite Old Fashion donut.

We celebrated Ayden’s birthday with some great friends!! A day out on the water tubing and a fun sleep over!!!

August!! HOT in 2021


Kicking off August with a pic of Bella… aka Booze Bag. While she is overly laid back and polar opposite of her Mother… she is the glue that binds us all.

  

Check out this girl… Jordan at work at the concession stand behind our house.

Best smile and service might I add!

 

This is the aftermath of this father/son outing. They went on a wild Boar hunt and landed two Sausage for dinner!

   

A great night out with my crew… still cannot believe the summer is ending and school is starting back up. It was so nice having everyone home.

   

First day of 9th Grade! MSD HS bound this girl is!

 

The “drop off” is always the hardest part of my summer. It is truly bitter sweet. Missing having him under our roof but knowing that he wants to be home but also looks forward to going back to school and his alpha company makes my heart just swell. This is Garrett off at the airport heading back to Camden Military Academy for his 11th grade year. This kid truly amazes me. He is by far my most worldly traveler. He has managed airports with layovers and gate changes as well as over weighted bags among other opticals… covid travel etc.  Navigating all without a phone. It is no different now that he has a phone and the confidence to make snap decisions, adapt at the last minute and just do what it takes to get it done. As nutty as this teenager makes me at times, I am incredibly proud of the person he is becoming and all he is learning about himself. I always hate saying goodbye… but this school has been the best thing for him. It is nice to see him so happy and a part of such a great program!  Counting down the days until he returns... 

   

Joining the boat club has been so great for all of us, but for Ayden, in particular it has been really fun. I had no idea she would want to get her captains license and to enjoy driving a boat so much!

Especially when there are such unruly passengers on board!!!!!

   

Everyone should have a pack… I am lucky to have a few but these girls are my true heart and home.

The crew… including Jennifer's oldest son and my first nephew Jake!

   

Chris in his total happy place!! Can you tell??

   

Jen is not overly fond of the water and the things lurking below. It is amazing what a little liquid courage can do… what a great day out on the water!!

   

Sisters Rock!

Live... Laugh... Love & Laugh some more!

July Summer fun! 2021


Work fun Especially FLAMINGO FRIDAYS!

   

We were pretty convinced there were no fish out there… even though this one is pretty small it gives us HOPE!

   

 

Whether you are catching fish or not… it is still awesome to be out on the water!!

 

 

A full day of pamper, starting off with haircuts…

… and ending in face masks!

   

Was so great having Chris’s life long friend, Jay visit with his daughter, Leksi to check out FAU and have some fun in the sun. He put us through a great family workout at the gym and it was so nice catching up!

Most of our weekends are spent enjoying the boat. It is so hard to find the time with everyone's busy schedules to get on as a family.

 

 

Even Bella had a friend over to play!! This is Abby… our neighbor! 

   

   

Our final braces reveal!!

What a difference!

   

Family day at the community pool.

  

We had the place to ourselves!

  

Family shenanigans…

   

Love having Garrett home for the summer. He gets a lot of weekend time with us on the boat having a Monday-Friday work schedule.

  

As ALWAYS… feeling blessed!
