christmas time 2009!!! happy new year!!!

ok so i havent posted anything for a little bit and i need to continue my metal chasers story but for now its time to update about christmas and new years. this year was blast with merrick he just loves all of his toys!!! he loves them so much that he scatters them all around the house :) but its ok because at least i know that he like them, this year he got a drum set, just a little one, a little tykes basketball hoop, a cars battery powered fourwheeler, an etcha sketch, a light bright, a cars couch, hot wheels cars and a rug that has twisty tracks that he can drive the cars on, a miniature harley davidson and that drives around, a big dump truck and truck with a crane, he got books and puzzles, a parking garage for his little cars, a guitar, and i little broom because he likes to help me sweep and it talks while he sweeps, and he got new clothes, and radio flyer worm that he can ride its really cute. i think thats everything he got from santa, us, and all of the grandmas and grandpas. the holidays were alot of fun for us, and merrick threw hardly any fits so that always makes anyting nice. we also celebrated my grandma and grandpa lunds 50th anniversary and we get a big family picture and then som individual pictures so that was also alot of fun, its always nice to have the whole family together. merrick gave all of the grandmas and granpas specials gifts this year, i found this fun website called personalizationmall.com and i got wooden picture frames and engraved into each one it said I Love and then like for my mom it waas grandma kimi and for johnnys mom and bruce it said grandpa bruce and grandma tammy, and then merricks name was engraved all around the picture, they turned out so cute! me and johnny alos exchanged gifts, i got him a vikings jersey and hat and some other little things and he gave me money in a "tear jerker" card so i could go and buy myself some new clothes and stuff so i was way excited for that!!! so we made a day of it and went to provo to do some shopping! it was alot of fun! johhyn got us a game called battle of the sexes and its not a very fair game, all of the questions about girls are easy and all of the boy questions were like history questions, so it dumb, johnny didnt even know most of the boy questions haha. for new years we went and listened to a local band at chicks and it was alot of fun, they played Johnny Be Good so of course johnny had a blast, but we got to see alot of people we hadnt seen for awhile and bringing in the new year was awsome!!! everything went by so fast and im sure im leaving some stuff out but its time to start a new year with my handsome and loving husband and baby boy, right now my life couldnt be any better, im happy, healthy and loved. Happy New Year everybody make it a good one..... oh yeah PS we are planning a trip to the Bahamas and i cant wait!!!!

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.
