Waterpark with Buddies

 

Currier with his buddies after a long day of waterpark fun. 

Our Spot

 

Currier and I wake up early every single morning and come to our little local beach to let the dogs run around while we collect shells and coral. These are precious moments. 

My Sunshine

He sings "You Are My Sunshine" to her constantly.

Night Dive

Currier is working on his advanced diver certification which means he needs to log some night dives. Soon he'll be exploring shipwrecks and caves with Trent.

Currier's 8th Birthday Party

 We celebrated Currier's 8th birthday today at the house.  We had a Minecraft theme and set up the waterslide jumpy castle.

 It was a great day with great friends.

And lots of presents, laughs and silliness.  

I Guess I'm Proud?

Springtime in the Lowcountry

I got this great shot at Boone Hall Plantation just as the earth is waking up from it's winter nap.  Thanks to my great friend, Ella, for using her Photoshop skills to lighten up the image and give it that dreamy background.

Crush

Currier met Sophia at Hampton Beach while we were in New England for a two week visit and he became quite smitten by her.  We ended up having dinner at her house, another beach day/water slide day and a simple hangout play day.  They truly enjoyed each others company and have remained in touch.

Currier sent Sophia a ring for Valentines Day.

And they communicated via Facetime so she could thank him.  It was so sweet.

Careful What You Wish For

Elf Application

I love his answer to number 4.

Mom & Son Date Night

Since Currier's in school and I work several evenings a week we don't see each other very often so we decided we needed an evening out together—just the two of us.  We went bowling but first he requested we stop by Kohl's to buy a Tony Hawk sweatshirt that all the cool kids are wearing at school.  Being the push over that I am, I gave in and was given the title "Best Mom in the World!"  We had a great time bowling (I won just so you know!) and it was nice to spend time with just Currier.  He opened up and told me that he doesn't have a girlfriend but he wishes he did.  He also told me there's a mean kid in his class.  I felt honored that he shared this with me.  We're making this date night a monthly ritual!   

Another One Bites The Dust

This child is as toothless as a hillbilly! 

2nd Grade

So far 2nd Grade is off to a great start.  Currier is receiving good reports in academics and behavior.  

Sleepover

I love that Connor and Currier are still close friends even though they haven't been in the same class for years.  Silly sticks together! 

First Day of School

Currier started 2nd grade today.  Oh, how time is flying!

Toothless

Currier took a knee (his own!) to his mouth in the jumpy castle and lost a tooth.  Then a few days later he lost another.  The tooth fairy is going broke this summer.
