ok so merrick already attempted to have one first hair cut but all he let katie cut off was one curl so it didnt really count but the other day i took him because his hair was getting so long! so he got his first hair cut and now he doesnt look like my baby he looks like a little toddler boy, hes so stinkin cute though i love it! he did so good, he didnt cry or anything i was so happy and proud of him!
so this past weekend was alot of fun for our little family, so i figured i would share it. with this stinkin hot weather you dont want to go outside or stay inside so we decided to go out and do some stuff. we went to the motocross races because our friend ty races and he took 1st and 2nd he did and awsome job! merrick loved watching all of the motorcycles and just kinda hung out in his stroller and enjoyed the ride as we hauled him everywhere, afterward we decided to go to the lake since merrick had never been there, everybody was going to go and it ended up just being me johnny and merrick but it was still alot of fun, i forgot my camera or i would have pictures :( but we took merrick out on his little tube and at first he hated it, but then he warmed up to it and loved it! after that everybody had a big BBQ and we played horse shoes and hung out and visited. it was a very nice day and i love spending time with my little family and our friends...very good weekend.

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.
