Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Ladies!

 

I am so ready for the weekend!  I always look forward to the weekends, well because DUH...they are awesome!  But I always look forward to them more when Mark has off!

 

Today I am linking up with Andrea , Erika , and Narci and sharing my Friday Favorites.  Be sure to grab the graphic and link up too!

 

ONE

What I love most about where we live, is that we have water all around us.  We have it right in our backyard, we can go to lots of different restaurants and bars and be right on the water...it is so awesome.  Mark and I had lunch last Sunday at our favorite little place in town...I love sitting outside, looking at the water and the boats.  And on this day..the dolphins were out there having a good time!  It was so hard to get a picture as they came up out of the water..they are quick!  But I loved just sitting there watching them out in the bay playing!  Dolphins...definitely a favorite!

 

 

TWO

Seeing my kids happy is always a favorite for me!  AJ was made to live on the water.  This boy has a ridiculous amount of patience and spends ALL of his free time sitting out back fishing.  Watching him out there, so content and peaceful, doing what he loves is a favorite for sure!

 

 

THREE

Being able to just walk out my back door and just enjoy some peace and beautiful scenery, with Starbucks is a favorite!  And speaking of favorites, I am LOVING my new bracelet .  This bracelet is super cute...however I am not sure I would have spent $65 for it!  I do love Tory Burch, and my flats and Miller sandals are my favorites!  Each year right around my birthday I get a code via email for $50, and well I mean I can't just not use it right...and unfortunately it cannot be used on flip flops..so after searching the website I decided on this cute little bracelet.  I really think it is so fun and so perfect for summer, and I am so glad I only had to pay $15 for it! 

 

 

FOUR

Making the arrangements for Harrison to come down has been a favorite this week!  We are super excited to see him!  He has already been chatting with the boys and doing his research so he can coach them again in football! 


FIVE

We have been on the hunt for a few months for some furniture for our patio, and I am so happy that we FINALLY decided on a set...it is coming this weekend and I am pretty darn excited about it!

SIX

How true is this!  It is no secret I am super proud of ALL my kids!  I have mentioned a time or two how awesome Jack is!  He is such a good kid, like in the 14 years he has been on this Earth, he has  never gotten into trouble, we never have to yell at him, he never talks back...he is really such a good, genuine kid.  Academics is a HUGE priority for Jack, he is hard on himself, and settles for nothing less than perfection.  Jack has always been a GREAT student, and this past marking period he received a B (a high B) on his report card in Algebra, and well he didn't like one bit that B on his report card.  He has state testing coming up soon, and he really wants to do well, and he is determined to bring that B to an A.  I am so proud that on his own, he came to me and asked if I would bring him to school 2 hours early, 3 days a week for the next 3 weeks so he can go to tutoring to bring his grades up.  I am so proud of him, he works so hard, and it really makes me so happy that on his own, without any pushes from mom and dad, he truly gets how important his school work and grades are.  This kid has BIG dreams about his future and there is NO doubt in my mind he will be something amazing!  His positive attitude and work ethic is a favorite for sure!


I am really looking forward to Mark having off tomorrow...we have lots of running around to do, and I plan on spending the rest of the weekend outside, relaxing on our new patio furniture! 

Have a great weekend!
