Now entering the teenage years

Happy 13th birthday to Jacob.

Hopefully his yearly wish will come true.

We spent his birthday weekend at a soccer tournament,

which fortunately his team won.

In between the soccer games we were able to squeeze in a trip to Wekiva springs.

My kids were all appalled by the freezing water.

Their Florida blood is not thick enough.

We also went mini golfing per Jacob's choice.

He is looking too old.

I am sure I'm not old enough for this.

 More of the handsome man.

 This is his good smile.

We are lucky we have this boy.

5th grade grad

 Merry finished her 5th grade year.

 She finished with academic honors and received a special citizenship award,

 We are so proud of her.

Merry with some of her sweet friends.

Merry plays basketball

 Merry played basketball for the first time this spring.

 Her height was definitely an advantage.

She didn't love sweating or not being in air conditioning.

Who can blame a girl.

You can tell Eliza and Grace were really into watching the games.

Happy Mother's Day and Universal

 Happy Mother's day.  Me with all my sweet kiddos.

 Last weekend we went to Universal Studios with Brian's work.

It is a good thing we didn't have to pay for the full price of Universal tickets because my kids really just like swimming at the pool.  Adam spent 7 hours straight playing a swimming. 

I think he knew every kid by the time he left.
