Some Really Exciting News...

This happened!!

We bought a boat!!

Daniel has been on the look out for years and the time was finally right for us. We bought a nice little off shore, center console, 2006 Sea Hunt. It is in really great condition, 1 owner, very low hours on the motor, just the right price and perfect for our family. We've already put it to some really good use and plan to see many more family days on the boat in our future. 

Aaaaand..... That's a Wrap!!

The school year finally came to an end!! Hellloooo Summer!!! This kindergartner girl had a great year! The last week was filled with parties... luau's, pajama parties, ice cream, movies, popcorn, you name it. And I enjoyed an end of the year awards program and talent show with my 2nd grader who put on the funniest little puppet show on the fly and got the award for making everyone laugh. It was a great school year and I'm grateful for our wonderful teachers and good kiddos that make this mama proud!

 Last Day!!

Spring Soccer and Flag Football 2017

Wow. Let me just say that I completely FAILED as a mother this year taking pictures and videos of my children during their sports season. This is the 1 and only decent picture I have of Ivy during her soccer season. So sad. But she is a really good little player and we really enjoyed watching her each Saturday morning. 

 I have some pretty nice pictures of Jackson but that's only because another mom on the team would take tons of pictures each game and then upload them to a joint file that everyone could look through and download whatever ones they want. And she got some really good ones of our little #1.

Family Beach Vacation - Hammock Beach Resort

We took our family beach vacation up to the Palm Coast this year (just south of St. Augustine) the middle of May. School is still in session, but the kids only miss a couple days and the rates are always way better (and it's before Daniel gets really busy at Wild Florida for the summer). We stayed at the Hammock Beach Resort and it was a piece of heaven on earth!! They had several nice pools -indoor and out, a waterslide, a lazy river, zero entry pool, the beach, bike rentals. We loved it!! We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and had plenty of room, a full kitchen, balcony... it was perfect. Some of the highlights included the waterslide (a real favorite for the kids) our morning bike outing, late night swim night in the indoor pool, and dinner on the grassy area of the resort with football and frisbee. It's one of my favorite traditions each year. Where will we go next...

Mother's Day

I was spoiled this Mother's Day with a fabulous program from my kinder girl complete with a Day Spa. 

 Ivy's sweet teacher Mrs. Moschouris

 I got to bring her home early with Sophie and this is where I find them. 

 Why not continue the celebration (birthday/mother's day) at Disney!?

I was spoiled on Mother's Day by my crew here. I feel like the luckiest mother just about every day. Wish I had taken a picture with my own mama... I was able to enjoy going to church with her in the morning and then having her over for dinner in the evening. It was a perfectly perfect day!
