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!

Our Trip to Durango
This last week made a little trip to Durango to see family that we haven't seen in awhile and to introduce our newest addition to his grandparents, great grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. we were there for 5 days and we got to spend time with everybody which was alot of fun, johnny's dad played the guitar and sang for us and i was going to record it and my camera was dead but eventually i will get a recording of it, Merrick loved it! It was nice to visit and see everybody, johnnys brother lives in new mexico so we made a trip there to see him and the family. Merrick hated being in his car seat all of the time but overall i feel that it was a trip worth while. we will have to go there more often.

You're already getting the tantrums huh? You got to love baby's and their little attitudes:)He is sure a cutie! And I love your hair cut by the way!!!
Sorry I never text you back the other night... I was closing and didn't get it until about 12:30 at night.
My fam really liked the comedy night too. They told me they saw you too...
And lastly, just so you know, my mom said when I threw fits, I would hold my breath too. Then someone told her to let me pass out one time. So she did, and I never did it again... So I don't know if it's worth a try or not.
