Preparation for the big move!!

In 30 days and counting we will be making our big move out of the nest and into uncharted territory. After TONS of house drama we are finally moving into this home that we bought as an investment, that then turned into drama, that then turned into out home. We are exited and greatful to be turning this new page in my our life. Go Dixie!! Do they even have sports at Dixie?

Day out with Thomas

We also had the opportunity to go see "The Real Thomas" This was probably the highlight of Jex's life. No only did we see the real Thomas but Grandpa and Conner were there too. All the Merrill clan came with us and we really did have a good time. We also went to "The Musem of Heavenly Father" as Jex called it. In Laman's terms that means that we went to the visitors center. Jex couldn't watch the Joesph Smith movie because it made him cry. He has such a soft little heart.

We had a great opportunity to go to Cancun during the peak of Swine flu with some of our best buddies Kevin, Amy, Ben and Mattie. We had so much fun on the beach and at the pool. We got to go to Chichen Itza and Telum which were ver cool experiences. It was a much needed vacation amongst the choas in our life.

Here we are at Ava's Blessing day. It was a crazy day but overall was a great day. Brad did a great job on the blessing and arn't Jex and Mya cute?

I found her dress in Las Vegas. The dress really was beautiful. It will be a great thing for her to pass down to her girls.

Look at this cute little baby.

My sexy 30 pound lighter husband. Sporting his GQ look and of course his new baby.

Our little family and fat little me. 50 lbs is always fun to lose.

BUT it's worth it!! Ava Rose Merrill born November 3. 2008. 7 lbs 1 oz

Is this Brad's son?

Just laugh!! We know he is hillarious.

Always Handsome - Mr. Jex!
Mya had had enough Rhino riding by this point. Reggie doesn't seem to mind to much.

Jex finally learns to ride a bike. He had no desire to ride but now he's getting the hang of it. Daddy couldn't be prouder.

This is at Blind Bowl up in Alpine camping a few weekends ago. It was fun 'cause we had my parents and Brad's parents together. The kids really had a good time with both Grandma's and Grandpa's not to mention Annette and her family.

My Daddy doing what he loves fishing at Barstow lake in Alpine. He caught a fish and the kids sure had fun watching it die. It was bleeding so they got to play with it for a while. Yummy!
Jex, Mya and there chubby mommy taking it easy after the hike into Barstow Lake. Reggie actually had more energy than me which is kinda funny.

Family Love!!
