Special Package!!!

Merrill LOVED the Mullet man from the viewing so much that Aunt Cathrine got him a little something to remember him. We all (except Braxton and Sophie) tried it on.

Yellow Stone

Park

We go to the park almost every day after I get B from the bus stop, so today I took my camera. Sophie loves the swings - Im so glad that the city keeps the parks nice!

Paint!

I think we are done painting. We had done all the bedrooms and play room and I have been wanting to do the kitchen and living room - because you walk in our house and wouldn't know we painted if you didn't go for "The Tour". So we got paint yesterday at Home Depot and did the kitchen yesterday and Merrill did the living room today! Sophie is getting close to crawling - but not yet!

The Birthday Loot!

Thanks to lots of money filled birthday cards - Merrick was able to get a totallllyyyy Awesome toy at Wal*Mart last night!Bakugan are the latest cool thing the boys like. they are like Transformers, but are easy and make a ball when they are transformed. There is a magnet in the bottom so when you roll them across the cards they come with (with the power and tricks each can do) they pop up into little dragons or birds or whatever. They are SO COOL! Merrick was able to get a 6-pack of Bakugan and a ball-holder-thing that came with 3 MORE guys in it! He is so happy!

This picture I just had to take - see Braxtons "bracelet"? (more commonly know as a GIRL hair thing for pony-tails and such) Yeah - he picked it out of the student store for his "prize". I have never seen a boy so excited about a scrunchie! I guess him and a few other kids did something that earned them a prize at school. He wore it to school today - and I'm so proud.
