This Easter we traveled to Las Vegas. One of my best friends from Vegas, Kellie, got married. You won't see any pictures because I forgot my camera! oops! It was nice to spend the holiday with my mom. The kids had fun spending time with cousins. Kellie married a guy from California. His name is Brandon Hoke. They met through a friend. He seems to be a really nice guy. When they met she was going through the process of adopting her new son, Joey. He has special needs, a real sweetie. Dustin and I got a kick out of him at the sealing. Kellie opened her home as a foster home, and that's how she got Joey. She didn't want to see him get lost in the system, so she decided to adopt him. When she me Brandon she said he really didn't understand why she was doing what she was doing. He changed his mind once he met the little guy. Because Kellie adopted him as a single parent, right after they were married they were able to have Joey sealed to them. It was so sweet. After he was s...

I changed my mind about posting the tubing pictures. They turned out better than I thought. We had a blast, like I said earlier. It was snowing, so it slowed the hills down. Next year we know not to go on a snowy day. Dustin is in the back, in the orange coat. Because of the snow, he had to pull the tubes at a certain point. This is the lift that took the tubes up to the hills. (Off to the left) They had to wait in line to get to the lift, but it sure beats walking up the hill! Dust and the kids! Kate on the tubing carousal at Fort Frosty. Becca on the snow slide! She loved this! I remembered why we have been so busy! We have been redoing our house. We have finished our front room! Almost, above the shelf I am putting a vinyl saying by Gordon B. hinckley. "Be true to who you are, and the family name you bear." Then on the shel I am putting a big M for Merritt. Bay window- I am putting those decorative balls in the three baskets. I made the Family Home Evening board. I was s...
Okay, sorry we haven't updated this in a while. We have been running around with our heads cut off! Dustin started back to school. He is going to the University of Phoenix . He is gone only one night a week, unless they have to meet with their group. I don't know why it has been so crazy, but it feels like we have had a lot going on. The boys have decided to play flag football this year. I'm glad. Baseball was a lot. If you have one in, it's not so bad, but two was terrible! They end up on different teams, so you have 4 games and 2-3 practices during the week total. As you can see, that almost something everyday. Grace decided she wants to swim. I keep telling her we'll get her signed up, but then I forget. So I will for sure. I think I'll sign Kate up as well. We will have a lot going on, but it's fun to see them trying new things. I was able to attend our Stake Enrichment this past Saturday. Julie De Azevedo - Hanks came and spoke about ways to avoid emo...
