little chin little chin

so i just posted but i forgot a couple things, so johnny decides that he wanted to shave off his goatee which suprised me, but i think its because merrick doesnt like to give him kisses he always rubs his face after when he does, and he will give me more kisses than johnny, so i told him to just trim it little by little in case he doesnt like it but he came out of the bathroom with a baby face! i really like it and he does to but honestly i never realized how little his chin was, i told him it reminded me of when we very first started dating and he had no facial hair at all so it funny i love it! merrick gives him lots of kisses now but i told him that if he was going to have a baby face then he needs to not let it get so pokey because right now its kind of like sand paper, but thats ok. he gets all sefl consious like it doesnt look good so it makes me laugh.
our friends hayden and kylie got married yesterday they have been together for like 7 years so its about time, but it was so much fun we danced our booties off all night it was a blast im so happy for them! we almost didnt make it to the ceremony, we walked in right as kylie made it up the aisle so everybody was standing so we just had to sneek in, and we did! johnny likes to say that im the one that makes us late but its completely the other way around im always ready and waiting for him, he always thinks he need 5 min to get ready but he takes much more time than that, so im just making the record clear that i can get myslef and merrick ready and be on time, so thats why we were late, but just by like 2 min. ok so i think im done updating!!!

picture overload

so i decided i need to post some pictures they are just random things i want to share. i will kinda tell you about why i took the picture or what was going on. so merrick loves suckers but idont give them to him very often because he makes the biggest mess but my aunt gave him probably the messiest suckers ever for his birthday so i decided to let him have some of one because they are big i didnt think he would need a whole one, but he was a mess in like 2 seconds and he was so proud of it so i had to take some pictures and of course he gives me his CHEESE!!! grin.i love it
Merrick loves to escape from me when he gets out of the bath tub because hes "free" so one night after his bath he was running fromme with his towel still on his head and it made me laugh he walked all over the house with it on so i had to take a picture.

so my little monkey loves to crawl on the couch and run around and what not but he likes to sit up there and watch movies and he always lounges back and crosses his feet so i got a picture of that and then johnnys mom gave him some batman jammies so i dressed him in them one night and had to take a picture and then he fell asleep on the couch and had a nap. he had never done that before so of course i think its the cutest thing ever. his jammies look a little small but they arent he was just laying weird.
and last but not least merrick got a little girraffe baby pool for his birthday and we finally had nice weather to put it up so today we did that and played in the water it was so much fun to do something as a family adn merrick had a blast but it wore him out for sure. but of course i took pictures, and he got to wear his cute little swim shorts!


today was alot of fun for us and merrick but he still managed to throw a fit in there and we have ahd to start doing time out, and suprisingly he stays there till we get him but he stands there and screams at us then stops until we look at him and then he starts the fit again and then he takes a nap afterward, i guess it takes alot of energy to throw those fits. so theres my picture overload!

just updating

well i havent blogged for a few so heres the update. there not a whole lot new right now merrick is still growing like a weed and refuses to be a baby. he has learned to get on the couch and he loves it so he runs around on it. so i lay a whole bunch of pillows on the floor that way if he falls it wont hurt him and it seems to work out really good. hes been going up the stairs really good for a long time but he just wouldnt go back down the way that i would show him but last night my dad and step mom watched him and they have two steps that go down into the living room and he always crawls up them and then wants to just run down them but last night he stepped down them! he didnt fall of anything so he crawls up and walks down its crazy he just doesnt want to waste time being a one year old. he has also started the lovely tantrums, so if we get mad at him he screams and holds his breath its scary at first but i know hes just mad and he doesnt pass out ir anything , johnny thinks its like a medical problem but he only does it when hes upset and i try and explain that but he still thinks what he wants. i feel like we are dealing with the terrible twos and hes only one so i cant wait till hes two! haha. we went to the comedy night last night at teh Holiday Inn and it was so much fun we laughed out butts off i think we will go more often it was fun. well Happy Fathers Day, johnnys golfing ( go figure) make today a great day!

Nemo Party 1 Year Old, and 1st Hair Cut!!!

Can you believe my baby boy is 1 year old already? hes getting so big i dont know here this past year has gone! its so sad and happy at the same time. i have loved being able to be home and watch him grow and learn hes such a sweetheart. So merrick is a huge finding nemo fan so on May 31st i threw him a Nemo party with family and a big bouncer for the kids. before the party we decided to get hair cuts and it was merricks first one and let me just say it didnt go well we got one little curl cut and he started shaking his head and screaming! it was horrible! so he didnt get his hair cut, but i did cut mine OFF! i love it! its short but so much better! for his party we decided to go all out since it was is first party and he had alot of fun! he loved the bouncer but the other kids had a hard time sitting still while he was in there so it was kinda frustrating but he still had fun, the only time he got upset was when i was trying to get him to open presents and when i wanted him to dig into his cake i made him, and i will add that i decorated it myself! he hated the frosting all over his hands but at least he tried. all of our friends and family were there to celebrate with us he got alot of presents, johnny and i got him a little bouncer for him to jump around in, a little lion thing he can ride on, a swing, a ball, a bucket and shovel, and a little climber that has a slide and stuff, and a chair that he likes to lounge back in and watch nemo. he got a wagon that is so so cute, a baby pool, swimming stuff, clothes, sunglasses, a little forwheeler it doesnt have a battery its juts so he can sit on it and push himself around,a bunch on other toys and nemo stuff, then my mom drew a picture of merrick and drew significant things that were throughout the year she wanted to add more but ran out of room but i love it! she did and awsome job!!! so overall i think everything went very well and hes growing up too fast! here is one video of merrick when he was first in the bouncer and didnt like it and then one when he did like it but all of the kids wanted to be by him, and my stepbrothers wife, jamie, is filming it for me because i didnt want to climb in there so she was nice enough to do that but i felt bad because the little kids wouldnt listen to her or anybody really but she tried.
