Me and my girls... 

Happy Mother's Day to my favorite Mother-in-law!!


At the bottom of the letter it states... " I just want you to know that you are the Best mom I could ask for and when I call you mean I don't mean it and you are #1 on my top 10 list"  I love this kid!


My letter from Elise!






We played America's Got Talent and judged the girls and their performances.. it was so funny!!

Last Day!!!

This was our last day in Florida.. home tomorrow (sniff sniff).  Everyone was beached out except the girls and I so we headed back out to Sanibel Island for a few hours.. I could have stayed ALL day. It was the picture perfect day.. not too hot, calm waters, hardly anyone at the beach.. it was amazing!


My view from my chair!






The girls made some friends on the beach.. turns out they are from Minnesota, the husband went to Iowa State and the wife went to IU!!  Small world!

They had rented a paddle board and took the girls out to the sandbar!









We went up to the Starbar for smoothies

We had our last dinner on the Lani Kai Sundeck 






We had an early celebration for Lauren's birthday!
