June through August 2022

Family celebration for Jordan getting into The Citadel. After attending FAU for a year, Jordan decided to switch schools and head to Charleston, SC.

   

Can’t beat lazy days on the water with Garrett.

   

 

This is Sadie… Bella had a sleep over with one of her favorite friends.

   

Abbie is another fur friend that comes and spends some snuggle time with us.

Not spoiled at all!

   

Best part of owning a pool is having a water dog that enjoys it as much as you do.

Plus she is the only kid not out working and is always up for fun.

   

Playdates with one of her besties… Abby

   

   

My sweet Bella!

   

Some family time on boat @ Lake Boca!

   

Butterflies always remind me of my mom…

   

We got to spend some time at my sisters house… home away from home. Love Charleston, SC and what a bonus having Jordan going to school there!

A great night out in Charleston

Chris and I were able to take an amazing trip to Alaska. We spent three days fly fishing… and as luck would have it, I dropped my phone in the river and the cruise was never recorded. LOVED Alaska. Peaceful nature and the disconnect was exactly what we needed. 

   

  

   

    

The joys of going to school in my sisters home town! 

Cousins rock!

May Update 2022

Jordan rocking her ROTC Airfare uniform.

While attending FAU and driving to Miami University three days a week at 4am, Jordan has decided to switch gears and take her ROTC passion to the next level. Stand by for details.

 

Chris and I hitting Tortuga with our crazy friends…

What a fantastic night listening to some outstanding country music!

 

Nothing like a teen Easter basket filled with all of those female essentials!

   

… and the love relationship continues between Bella and Coach.

   

Gram and Coach chill-axing out back.

   

All sorts of mods of transportation. Who needs a car when you can get pulled by your black lab!

 

Nice calm day out on the ocean. Taking a break from fishing to get some reading in. Ayden is usually our driver. She is hoping to get her captains license.

   

We live in such a beautiful spot. Summer all year around and the sun always out!

   

   

Lighthouse Point, Florida

 

This girl is certified in sleeping for sure. Wish I could relax as much as she does.

Most ferocious guard dog ever!

 

Jordan is embarking on an exciting path… the road less traveled.

Ayden’s first big girl job!!!

April Fun with Family! Celebrating Grams Birthday! April 2022

Shamrock shake delivery!! I use to pick the kids up at school and we would get our shamrock shakes for St. Patricks day. This is the first year that everyone was spread out and we had to do some shamrock deliveries at work. One year we went to five different McDonalds because they were all sold out.

 

We also used spring break to celebrate Gram’s birthday with a girls weekend kicked off by shopping and then high tea the next day.

We were lucky to have all of the grand daughters here to celebrate!

 

Even Aunt Gail, Ann’s sister joined in on the surprise. It was a lot of fun getting dressed up.

     

 

   

Gram and her granddaughters!

   

   

We had to put your best manners into action! I had no idea there were so many variations of tea.  The China was beautifully done.

Jordan, my beautiful oldest daughter.

Ann, the birthday girl and best Gram ever!

 

Aunt Gail was incredibly helpful in organizing as usual. She is the true entertainer.

 

Althea, my niece from Utah (Ben, Chris’s middle brothers daughter from Utah) had the pinky down!

 

Ayden, my youngest and always game child who keeps us in line with current fashion and style.

She helped both Jordan and I with our hair and make up.

 

Really fun afternoon with a group of my favorite people… celebrating someone very very special to me.

The only thing missing were the hats.
