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.

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.
