Wishing my hubby a very Happy Fathers Day! We went to brunch at TPC Sawgrass and went to see the movie Cruella! It's been a few years since I've been to the theatre but it felt great to get back to it!
We've had another busy few weeks. The kids wrapped up the school year. Marissa went to her 8th grade party and we spent the weekend at Universal. We went to Volcano Bay for the first time. That was really fun and the perfect hot/humid day to try it out.
The kids are anxiously awaiting their trip to Minnesota. We're in the middle of switching rooms for Marissa. She'll be taking the upstairs bedroom again. We've been busy painting and getting everything ready to switch. Here's a few photos from the last few weeks!

Wishing my Marissa a very Happy 8th Grade Graduation! Unfortunately, we weren't not allowed to attend due to COVID restrictions. She looked beautiful and so grown up! On to high school!
XOXO
It's almost summer break and since the kids started 3 weeks late this school year they have to go to school until June 10th! It's going to be a short summer for them! Marissa is almost done with middle school and next year she will be our high school freshman. I can't really think about it too much because this mama will start to cry. I'm really starting to feel the pressure of my baby girl will be on her own in just a few short years so I want to try to soak up every moment we have left.
The month of May flies by every year with loads of activities. Marissa had her last band concert which was bittersweet since she's not doing band next year. Memorial Day weekend came and went but it was such a fun weekend. We took the kids to Autobahn to drive go karts. Everyone had a great time and it was fun to see how well the kids did at driving.
Tony & I snuck away and went to Orlando overnight to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. We spent the day at Blizzard Beach in the lazy river just relaxing. We went to Disney Springs on Saturday night and renewed our annual Disney passes. We ate at the Boathouse and enjoyed some time together. We went to Hollywood Studios on Sunday just the 2 of us. We've never gone to Disney alone so it was a fun little getaway. On Monday, we rented a boat and took the family fishing and swimming. It was a fabulous day!
I'll leave you with some pictures of the last few weeks! I'm sure the summer will fly by without me posting much but I guess that means we are having too much fun to take the time to sit down and write about it!
Marissa got her braces off on Monday! She's always had a beautiful smile but I'm so happy for her that she was able to get them off before high school. She started back in 3rd grade with an expander in her mouth for a year and then had to wear a retainer for 2 years until she got her braces on in July 2019. It was worth it all to have such a beautiful result! Congratulations to my beautiful daughter for a job well done! You were super responsible with always wearing your rubber bands as you were instructed to and you are now reaping the benefits of it!

We've had another busy month fly by without a chance for me to update here. Here's our April recap!
Grandpa and Grandma came down for a visit over Easter and to catch some of Brody's baseball games. The weather was cold while they were here so that was a bummer but we still made the most out of being together again.
We've been enjoying the beautiful weather we had the last 3-4 weeks. The humidity has stayed away and we've been spending every night outside. Taking walks on the beach or in our neighborhood. Going to the pool every day. Enjoying those beautiful sunsets from our backyard. Feeling super blessed to be living my dream out of being a Florida girl.

Lastly, I'll put a few random photos from the month! May always proves to be a very busy month as well. Hope everyone had a very good Mother's Day! Until next time!
XOXO
