Merrik bought Jim a skateboard for his 48th birthday. He wanted he and his dad to be able to ride together. Jim is like a 40 plusser going on 20 plus. He surfs, swims, skateboards like no other dad I know. This is why I fell in love with him. He plays hard and works hard. Everything he does, he does it with style, pride and gives it 110%.

Merrik starts Kindergarten soon. I can’t believe it has already come time. Jim and I felt like it was such a long way off. I look at Merrik and still see the cute little baby boy that he has been for the past 5 years. All of a sudden he is a boy, a kid, a lad, a youngster, a youth. And he talks back now. Boy does he talk back. But when I see him loving life so much like he does when he is in the ocean, then all the back-talk in the world can’t take this from me.

My visit to Granite Peaks Ranch was also an opportunity to do a portrait session for the owners and our incredible hosts, Mike and Molly Gregoire.

Merrik has a really good friend named Kole. They play amazingly well together-in the pool, at the beach, all through Preschool and even at home. Before we went on our family vacation, Kole and his sister came over to play. This is how cute Merrik and Kole are together.

After our visit to Granite Peaks Ranch, CO we hopped on the Durango-Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad in a vintage coach. Grampa Grampa (actually Gramma and Grampa but since Merrik started saying GG over a year ago we don’t want to change it) drove the Cruise America RV to Silverton to pick us up.
