Saturday's

EMMA

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.

The best long weekend

 We began the weekend with Colton having a small Graduation at his preschool this year. He still has another year of preschool but it was fun to have a end of the 12 week class he got to be in.
Here is Colton and his buddy Josh

Then that afternoon we began first of many parties!
Thayne turned the big"8" we has a few friends come bowling and then to pizza. It was great!



Here is the gang at pizza, Grandma & Grandpa made it up from So Cal just in time for pizza ,cake , & presents.


Then Saturday May 26, 2012 we began the day with Thayne's baptism.
Emma played the prelude music, Grandma Merrill gave a talk. The day couldn't have went any better. It was perfect we so many friends join us . Thayne was smiling ear to ear all day! It was flawless.

We had so much more this past weekend but these are the only pictures we got...We made apple pies, played lots of basketball, had Sunday dinner, had more family join us (Meagan, Mandy, Richard and Wendy oh and a boy next to Carissa at the dinner table Eric), We also spent Monday morning in Walnut Creek at the Memorial Day Celebration before Grandma & Grandpa headed home. It is always nice to end the best weekend off with a BBQ with the Hiatt family. I think I was sad Tuesday morning had to come it was a perfect weekend of Family and friends and making more great family memories.

WARNING!


Thayne has been hard at work this year he wrote about 20 stories and his teacher binds each of them. But yesterday he brought home just one more. The title "Mr.Balls"! I tried not to laugh, quickly took a picture and sent it to Bob.
One day he will laugh at this, but for now he nothing but serious about his writing and even mentioned he will begin another story about How Mr. Basketball will make it to the playoffs!
