Graduations, school's out!

We have had lots going on but I need to put some events on paper or I'll get too behind. So in no order we'll start with 5th and 8th grade graduations.

Emma and Thayne on the last day of school , Emma is now going to middle school.

Emma and Mrs. Reynolds she is moving to Texas, we are so sad she has been a Mom we have loved the past 3 years, and her boys are oh so cute:)

Addie felt so special she got to have her friends over to get ready for the 8th grade dance/party at the Country Club.  She got to go to her's because she was 14 Carissa didn't some were a little bitter.

Addie and her best friend Kara. these two have become best friends they are a tiny sad to go to different high schools lucky they will spend the summer together at EFY and all Stake Activities together. They are 2 peas in a pod!

The real Addie with her parents

Mrs. Cherepy was Addie's favorite teacher and she got her for 2 years! She made Middle school bearable, Addie couldn't have survived without her. My only regret is I never got to tell her enough how much we loved her.

Pictures of the day!

We only have about 4 Saturday's until we add another little Merrill to the pack.  They seem to all be packed with lots of activities.  But yesterday was a big one. It began with a swim meet, were I made 30 breakfast burittos  and Bob ran the snow-cone & candy line. The kids did great they made Personal best times and it wasn't too hot with a breeze. Carissa got her wisdom teeth taken out a few weeks early and has given us some great laughs on drugs...we have so much on this girl now it's great.  Addison & Emma helped with a ballet recital for a friend at church and Colton has a busy birthday party to jump at .  Along with getting yard work done and a primary lesson in , I am ready for Sunday "REST" Then on to a week of many events only 2 more to go and then school's out. then I can get ready to have a new baby.
