south florida with a smile...

 Last week a much needed and only a {lifetime} past due; finally just us {girls} took a trip.

Here we come Naples!

  

First stop, even before the luggage made it to Gram's house; 5th Avenue  

The Jolly Cricket!

So tasty and the atmosphere was fabulous!

Then straight to the beach where Brooklyn ran in...clothes and all;)

   

Typically the weather is sunny and glorious, but of course gloomy was in our forecast.

No worries!  Day two outlet shopping and then late evening strolls on the beach.

Love my {sweet} family!

location: couch

feelings: uncomfortably tired

Well, obviously I can sleep just about anywhere. Now that my mom is home from school everyday she is not allowing me to sleep all day as I typically do {which I don't mind, but shew..she is wearing me out!}  I have to catch some shut eye when I can regardless where it's at;)

anticipation awaits!

Wow!  Only the 2nd week of summer vacation and a lot seems to be happening around the Jones household.

Over the weekend there were a few different ideas being finalized as we have been tossing a million projects around.

• tear down the deck {build a new one...more modern and functional}
• landscape the backyard
• build a garage with attached carport
• build a pool {wishful thinking}
• or all of the above

With all of the estimates in; this morning we were the loudest house on the block as construction begins.  I am so excited and can't wait as I return from a girls trip to Naples and see just what stages are completed.

Of course, not all of the above was selected, but phase by phase we will go!

I am just excited since as of noon, the existing deck was no more!  Anxious I am...

30+ days of Summer...

The title alone doesn't quite justify just how happy I am to be out of school.  I am uber-excited to begin this summer and all that it has to offer.  Where to begin!

This is for starters, lol.  What a great way to decide; seriously the eating decisions-- 

I am the worst at!   

But wait decision, the first choice.... 

Let's go shopping with Patrice!

I'm sure the day will be filled with laughs and fun and most likely a craft of some sort!  

Love this lady!

Meanwhile, I will be on Instagram like it's my job along with Pinterest! 

Stay tuned to see just where summer takes me...

My IKEA Gang...  

I love you dearly; especially you--lady in red.  

I do wish there were squeakers inside.  

What fun they'd be!  

Oh well, they can live longer this way.

Sleep tight friends.
