It's Been a While!!

Wow, time flies when you're having fun. I realized it's been a while since I've updated the blog. The last couple weeks have been SUPER busy! Over Memorial weekend we had my Mom & Roy, Heidi & Ari, Jens & Taely & Ava staying with us. To highlight how fun this must have been for everyone, we live in a 3 bdrm house....one is our room, one is Merrick's room, and one is actually our office. SO....everyone was a trooper and we had people sleeping in almost every crack and crevice in this house! It was so nice to have the family all together considering the travels from Colorado, Maryland, West Florida and South Florida.

Let's see, what were the highlights of the family week:

1) Everyone got to be here for Merrick's baptism. I am VERY disappointed in myself because we only got a couple pictures, and none of the whole family. But the good news is the family all got to be here. It was at Mom & Dave Sevison's church, so both sets of grandparents were there!

2) Taely, Ava and Merrick got to spend some quality time together. Taely is such a little girl, it's unbelievable. And Ava is growing up fast too...I can't believe just how sweet and precious the girls are, and they loved being 'mommies' to Merrick. We took the 3 kids to get professional pictures, and they turned out so cute!

3) Heidi's AWESOME veggie burritos. She's lucky she escaped the house...I was about to kidnap her forever and have her cook for us. It's hard being a vegetarian when you are surrounded by a bunch of carnivores...okay I'm sounding a little neanderthal...I'll give them the omnivore credit they deserve. Anyway, it was nice to have my two veggie cohorts to balance things out a bit (Heidi and Ari).

4) The all time, #1, unforgettable highlight was when we spent a day at the beach and Mom decided she was going to boogie board in the ocean. GO MOM!! The waves were actually pretty rough that day, and she took a couple good hits but kept right on going. That was such a sight and of course typical me I did not have a camera to catch it. Next time she's out here we'll have her surfing and wrestling alligators!

Below I put together some pictures I got over the week. I'm disappointed because I didn't get enough pictures of everyone, and for some reason Mom isn't in ANY!! :( I will need to update when I get pictures from Heidi and Mom.
