Valentine's Day 2013

We live in an apartment complex with four other families so this year we decided to do a little exchange of valentine gifts. We decorated our own Valentine boxes/ folders and let the kids make their own valentine cards. We added some M&M's with ours and the kids went at it. Leia and Memphis were taking naps so Merrick did all the delivering, lucky him.

Grenada Workboat Regatta 2013

 We got a chance to go to the 2013 Grenada Workboat Regatta this year and it was so neat. We saw beautiful boats launch into the water and sail away in the wind. The day started off sunny with clear skies but then quickly turned gray and gloomy. We got out of there just in time to miss the rainstorm but it was still worth it to see all these boats.

Merrick turns SEVEN

 

My LITTLE boy, my teeny tiny little boy, turned seven this year. I can't believe how big he is. He's growing up to be such a sweet and wonderful young man. We had a small get together with some friends and one of my friends made this amazing Minecraft cake (from a video game). He loves Minecraft!!!! I made his shirt with a freezer paper stencil, it's one of the characters from the game, he loved it! In twenty years when we look back at this handsome young man I want him to know how much I love him and how much I love being his mom. He makes me so happy and I hope that I can always be the mom that he needs me to be. Love you buddy!

Magazine Beach

I LOVE Magazine Beach even when the waves are five feet tall it is still one of the prettiest beaches on the island. Sean went snorkeling with some friends but the waves made it hard to navigate in the water.
