Photo Drop

We enjoyed our short spring immensely!  So much so, I barely paused for a blog update.  As we take a break from the ever intensifying heat, I wanted to do a quick photo drop of our Martin Mayhem, ehem, I mean Memories

Construction Junction

 

His favorite is still the excavator.  He even got to pull it up and drop it back down at this awesome event put on by the community

Getting ready for when he gets to drive Grandpa's race car

Yacht Club

After the sale of the empty lot on our road and with construction looming, we decided to finally join the yacht club that is two doors down from us so we can guarantee a water view and water access.

Papa is especially thrilled for an easy access for his sail boat.  He wowed the local yachties with his keen skills.

All joking aside, he had multiple great days of sailing!

We put my dad to work on a few things while he was here...

But let him relax in his role as Papa too!

We went to see the planes by the base gate.  Now every morning when we drive in to his new in-home care, Potatoes says, "I go see planes and helicopters with Papa and Zoey!"

The Yacht Club hosted a fun Derby Day

The mint juleps were so strong we could not drink them, but they made for a nice photo!

Our Cinco de Mayo celebrations looks a bit different than they did a few years ago!

Squadron Beach Bash!

Swinging like airplanes with Lucy

Work Fun

We work hard and play hard.  I got to go out on the Solaris boat cruise with our work family... spouses and kids not invited.  Good times!

Using Aunt Heidi as a jungle gym

Oh, and I got a new car!  After eleven years in the Camry, we decided it was time for an upgrade, both for the family and for my job.  After a lot of searching, we decided on a Certified Pre-Owned Acura MDX.

Still can't believe how fancy it is!

That's one of Potatoes's new phrases... "oooh, fancy!"

The whole family loves it!

Fun with daddy

I am well aware that my little guy loves me, but his daddy is his everything.  We watched Brave for the first time last night.  At the end, when it looked like the queen was going to be cursed to remain a bear, Xander hugs me and says, "Aww, she loves her mommy so much."  I said, "Yes, she does!  Who else loves their mommy so much?"  Long pause..... "I love daddy so much!"

That's what I get for fishing....
