Merik and I planted a million zinnia seeds in our planter box and to our pleasent suprise they actually grew. Thanks to Merik's careful supervision we had lots of plants and even a few flowers. We planted a little late in the summer so maybe we'll have even better luck with the next pack. 
Merik LOVES his Power Rangers. He was so proud of himself for making them all stand up even though Aunt Maleah's dog Sheshee chewed off some of their feet. 
We are so glad we have a pool and splash park in our neighborhood. We have defiantly put it to use as evidence by our great tans and Merik's super swimming skills. The water is getting a little cold but the boys don't mind. My friend Camille took the following pics for me. We had a blast swimming with her and her two adorable boys Mason and Marcus the other day. 
Jaden is kamikaze at the pool...well pretty much all the time. He cracks me up!
His teachers are Ms. Kathy and Ms. Kathy or The Ms. Kafys as Merik says. Best of all Merik's best little buddy, Monica who is a fellow Sunbeam, is in his class. When I picked him up he ran out and said "Had a fun day Mom!" So I asked "what did you do?" His reply "Nothing". I thought that didn't start until jr high!
This is the Church where Merik goes to school. It's off this beautiful windy farm road about 5 minutes from our house. 
Mr. Caterpillar played and watched cartoons with Merik.
