Fathers Day

{Happy Fathers Day!!!}

Yesterday we went to see where Danny will be going to school! Its right by the NYC Temple so we stopped in to take a break from the world. It was very relaxing! I love Merrick's face in the picture too. The boy becomes more like his dad every day!

New York New York

We made it to New York!!! Let me tell you, this CITY is huge! I'm starting to get the hang of figuring out where the heck I am. We arrived here last Tuesday. It was Merricks first time on an airplane and he did really good. I didnt even have to break out the benedryl. Have you seen that McDonalds commerical where the man says "my luggage went to the Bahamas and i didnt"...yeah that happened to us. Our luggage went to LaGuardia airport and we went to Long Island. Long story...but we were reunited with our 8 suitcases {which contains all we own right now}. So for the last seven days we have been walking here and there and everywhere to find a place to live. We finally found something. I will post more about that once we move in. On about day 3 of walking and carrying Merrick i started seriously looking for a stroller. It wasnt til today {at last} that I got one! Our hotel is in Times Square {literally right out the window of our 20th floor room} and it never gets quiet or dark. We did go to Crumbs though {probably as good as Sprinkles} and today I caved and went to H&M after passing by it 40 times. We have seen so many interesting people and places in the one week we have been here so Im sure theres lots more to come! I will post the pictures we have taken tomorrow once I can dig through the bags and find everything!

P.S. In case you were wondering...Merrick has seen lots of tractors driving up and down the roads here :)

Water Bug

Merrick is a water bug. He loves WaTeR. He loves water in all forms...the bath, the hose, the sink, the pool and especially waterbottles! He can play all day with water. He gets so excited when i tell him he needs to wash his hands. Its cute!


{He's cute!}
And yes...once again he has marker on his face.

We are moving {again}. We are moving far away this time! We are moving to New York City in a few weeks!!! Nothing makes me more nervous yet excited than picking up and moving to a completely new place. Danny will be going to school there so Merrick and I will be exploring the big city in our free time :)

Merrick is one smart kid! Lately he has been reminding me of why we stop at certain places. For example...
- When we drive past QT he shouts "DINK DINK" meaning soda!
- When we go past Dollar Tree he says "boon" because ONE time i bought him a balloon there
- He knows that PetCo is for the doggies and kitties. Probably the cat and dog on the sign :)
- Any drivethru {the bank, food, CVS} is "NEENUT" which is doughnut. Danny and him go get fresh doughnuts a Krispy Kreme every morning I am at school.
- On the mornings I drive him to Grammy's, as we get closer to the freeway he starts shouting "mammy..mammy...mammy" repeatedly till you tell him to stop!
- Same with Friday mornings. When we get to the middle school on Riggs he starts saying "Papa...tractor...Papa....tractor" My dad has a golfcart that he calls tractor and is obsessed with.
