Marley's Headshots 2012

Skender's Beach Birthday Party

We have celebrated our little friend Skender Laybourne's Birthday for the past 3 years at the Annenberg Community Beach House and Santa Monica Beach. Marley and Skender were born the same year, I cannot believe how big these children are getting and how blessed I feel to watch them grow into little men. This country has some really valuable gems in its future.

El Matador Beach

This Summer, Marley and I have been "beaching it" in southern California. We took a trip to Malibu, Ca. A beach called El Matador Beach. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to drive up the coast. We were packed up with juices boxes, food, water, snacks and beach toys! My great friend Auntie Dakota organized the beach party and it was just a perfect Sunday Funday! Marley has become a true Californian this summer.... He played beach tennis with Auntie Dakota, Dug ditches, He yells the word "Kawabonga"when a big wave crashes down and he says things like this "Mommie, this sand is Super Hot". Who is this child? LOL

This picture was taken before I surprised Marley with an early pick up from school. They were going around the table one by one ....."When I was a little kid..... It was Hillarious. Out of the mouth of Babes.

SKN REPRESENT!

On June 30th, 2012 Los Angeles held its first Caribbean Carnival in Hollywood! It was something long over due in this city. The one thing I complain about is finding culture in Los Angeles and for 2miles I got it! It was a small but a respectable turn out and I can only see this parade developing into some bigger and better every year. I believe Marley and I were the only ones representing St.Kitts & Nevis.....we did it proudly.
