Ayden’s homecoming for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

Such a fun night out with her friends. Celebrating the kick off of her sophomore year.

   

Our evening out on the boat with our youngest gal.

 

Love my Bella…  My first dog and forever friend!

   

Hell week at The Citadel. I found this picture on Facebook and could IMMEDIATELY pick out our girl. I have never seen her this serious. On the learning curve in her knob year, but so proud of her walking the road less traveled.

   

Parents weekend with Jordan’s support team!

   

  

 

Finally getting some time with our knob and a much needed over night for a good meal and a lot of sleep.

  

  

Jen and Bill are Jordan’s number one support team. Taking her in on weekends for endless sleep and great food! So grateful for my family!

   

Downtown Girl fun!!!  Jordan has to be in uniform within 10 miles of the school.   

   

Fun afternoon watching rugby.

   

   

House would be empty if it weren’t for these two.

  

Weekend leave for Jordan at Aunt Jen’s and first Sergeant Scout!

Jordan has to be in uniform in a 10 mile radius from the school.  Thankfully, my sister is a mile outside the radius.  It is nice to be able to have a place to go to to decompress. 

Some rare footage of Garrett walking to class…

Camden Military Academy has been great for him. Figuring out next steps as he is a senior this year!

   

Homecoming weekend with my entire crew! So glad to have gotten everyone together in Charleston.

 

Think she is pretty happy with her school choice!!! Ya think!

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!

   

Shem Creek, South Carolina

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!!!
