More Fun in the Sun!

Surfin' With Grandpa

Beach Time

We've had a great time so far at the beach. Today Jalen surfed for the the first time and had a blast. He was not scared of the ocean for the first time and was going under the waves and all. For a little boy who was scared of the beach because it hurt his eyes, he had a lot of fun. Ryan loved flipping sand all over everyone. Brooklyn enjoyed sitting in the hole and having everyone keep her cool. She took a moment and found some lifeguards to keep her safe. We look forward to the rest of the week!!

Fun at the Pool

Before we left for the beach, we went to the pool and had a blast swimming! We've determined that Jalen is rubbing his no-fear mindset off to his cousins!

Fun in the Sun Soon!!

Oh the fun and new memories we are looking forward to in less than 3 days!

and Miss Brooklyn's first time to the beach in the summer! Yay!

Thankful

The past week has been one of the toughest weeks that I've been through in a long time, but it has taught me new lessons of life and reminded me of a few things.

I am thankful for...
- a son who has changed my life forever and for whom I thank God for every day. My little hero!
- a boyfriend who supports me no matter what and who has been there through good times and bad.
- my parents who have never given up on me, even when there have been times they probably should have
- two sisters that are my best friends, can complete my sentences before I even finish thinking about what I was going to say, and who are always there no matter what the situation is.
- my nieces and nephew who I couldn't imagine my life without, love like they are my own, and who I would do or give anything for
- nick's family (well, mine too!) who always supports us and is always ready to lend a hand, no matter what or who.
- a home, not just a house.
- friends who are always there and have never left my side.
- most importantly, God. I have to say I might never understand His plan or why things happen the way they do, but I have to say no matter what the situation He is always there to lean on and for that I am grateful.
... the list could go on and on

Auntie will always love you and look forward to the day I can see your beautiful face.
Thank you for being the best angel of Hope.
