Easter,and Durango,and Stories, OH MY!!!
Next, we headed to Durango, Johnny had a mine rescue competition in Aztec NM, and thats only about 45 min or so from Durango so merrick and i went and we stayed a couple extra days so we could visit family, johnnys sister had a baby in Feb. i think and she is such a doll!so we got to see her and spend time with our nephew as well. johnnys dad has been fixing up some property that was his father in laws, and i couldnt believe how many things he had stored away. i mean there was so many shovels, lawn mowers, weed eaters, rakes, ladders, doors, and of course johnny prized posession the Sky Lark. this car was johnnys in high school and he always had stories about it so he took a ton of pictures of it and now he wants to get it back here and fix it up. hes so funny. while we were there johnnys dad found an old wagon and we laid blankets in it and rigged an umbrella over it so we could pull merrick around, it was totally "redneck" but it was cute! merrick sat and played in the dirt that day and i dont know what it is but he likes to rub it in his hair, he had the dirtiest bath water that night but he had fun. one day while we were there we went to the mall and we had merrick ride a barney train, you know the ones that you put the quaters in and it just moves around, yeah well we did that and he really liked it i got a little video of it. we had alot of fun, its always nice to have a little get away!
now to catch up about the family, we are all doing very well, i just had my first mothers day and it was the best. i got a very pretty necklace and johnny got a card and wrote in it with crayon like it was from merrick, it was so cute i loved it! merrick had started being a little fit thrower so its been alittle stressful at times but hes still so much fun, he really cruising now he tries to run everywhere and suprising enough, he can! hes getting so big he will be one year old on the 31st i cant believe it! hes learning his animal noises now so he knows the ducky the cow and the chicken the best we are still working on it. he loves to say hi to everybody, i took him up to Toys R Us and Barnes and Noble and he ran around like crazy i deffinately got my workout in that day, but he went up to a little girl and peeked around the shelf all shy and was saying hi to her and then he started following her around it was cute. right now since the weather is nice he loves it outside he would play out there all day if he could hes such a sweetheart and monkey all mixed in one. i did get some new pictures of him done they are so cute i love them! so i will get them and all of my other pictures on here. and finally im done i think!
