What's Up Wednesday (6/28/17)

It is the last Wednesday of the month, and June has kept us VERY busy!  Here's a little look at what we've been up to this month.   



On the last Wednesday of every month I'm linking up with Shay to answer these questions:



1.  What we're eating this week...
This week I am in Ashburn, VA for work.  I went to Whole Foods yesterday and picked up some healthy snacks to try and stay on track while on travel.

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...
I mentioned in last month's post that we were headed out of town to Las Vegas and California to celebrate our anniversary with our cousins.  I am still reminiscing about that trip!  Vegas was fun, California was beautiful and it was a great time spent with family and quality time with my husband away from our babies. 


Cheers to 5 and 10 years!




One of my favorite activities we did during vacation was renting bikes on Huntington Beach on our anniversary.  It was so much fun and a great way to spend the day.

Heading out for our anniversary dinner







3.  What I'm loving...
How cute is my baby in her brother's old baseball hat?  We are gradually getting rid of all of our old baby stuff, but Arianna took this out of the pile and claimed it at hers. 



4.  What we've been up to...
We took the kids to Ponce Inlet to spend time at our neighbors summer beach condo over Father's Day weekend.  A weekend spent at the beach was amazing and just what we needed.  We wished that we had more time out there. 




We love the DANGs!



5.  What I'm dreading...


This kid ever growing up.  He is at such a fun age and was obsessed with his new toys that Uncle Matt got for him that he fell asleep like this...#timepleasestop


6.  What I'm working on...
Keeping my kids entertained during the hot summer months in Florida and spending as much time as I can with them.  It is hard for me to balance mom-life with everything I want to do, but I am making an effort.  Did you see my post about all of the fun summer activities I like to do with them?  If not, check it out :)



7.  What I'm excited about...
One of my closest friends is expecting her first daughter, Brooklyn, in just a few short weeks.  This weekend we got to celebrate her and I am just so excited to watch her enter the next phase of her life as a mom.  She's already been through so much more than some mother's go through and I admire her strength and perseverance more than she knows.  Love you Tay!


8.  What I'm watching/reading...


Trying to stay excited about the Bachelorette, but it is underwhelming this season.  The dates aren't that exciting and I'm having a hard time getting hooked, still this show remains my #guiltypleasure
 


BUT - I can't wait for Big Brother to start tonight!!! Mike and I love watching this show together...



I am still working my way through Big Little Lies...



9.  What I'm listening to...
My  "Yoga Girl"  podcasts keep me happy.... 

I finished listening to My Not So Perfect Life and I thought it was ok.  The book could have been a few chapters shorter, but the end was my favorite part!  


10.  What I'm wearing...
Lots of tank tops, shorts and swimsuits!  It's summer-living in Florida

11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
This weekend we finally get to meet Mike's cousin's daughter Vera Rose and I can't wait!

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...
4th of July!! It is one of my favorite holidays, I love all of the festivities that surround it.  I am also going to two concerts in July, so I'm excited for that.


13.  What else is new...
In June Mike's Dad and Brother came for a visit, how cute are all of the Florio boys taking Vincent to his first Chuck E' Cheese experience?  He keeps asking to go back. 


14.  Bonus Question - What is your favorite July 4th tradition...
My favorite 4th of July tradition is going to the beach to see fireworks.  I was planning to take the kids this year, but the shows don't start until 9pm and Arianna is DONE by 8pm, I also have to work the next day.  So I think we'll shoot for next year :)

Happy Father's Day 2017

Life has been a little hectic lately, but I need to take a moment and wish my husband a very special Father's Day!!  Over the last few weeks we've celebrated our five-year anniversary, his birthday and now Father's Day.  I can't put into words how much he means to me and our family, but I try to show him every day just how much he is loved.  My heart literally explodes when I think about how much more I love him in his role as the father to my children.  Seeing how much they love and adore him is truly amazing.  Here's a look back at some of my favorite memories from the last five years of marriage to this amazing man!  Get ready for picture overload :) It was too hard to pick some of my favorite moments from the last five years.

This post also wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to my hero, my amazing Dad.  I love you Dad!
