Happy Anniversary to us!

Today is our 3 year anniversary!!!

Then...

Now!!

3 years, 1 child and 5 moves later we are still in wedded "BliSs" :)

To celebrate, we went out to DiNnEr at Maggiano's!!! And let me tell you...it was delicious! The dessert was so good too...ice cream with chocolate and carmalized bananas and pound cake. YuM!!! We had a great time all by ourselves, thanks Rachel for babysitting.

Some of my most favorite pictures of Merrick im not quick enough to grab my camera so i have to snap them on the phone!!! I love this boy to pieces more and more each day :)

Warning: lots of pictures

His new nose! He was running full speed in the store and crashed yesterday. Giant rug burn. Just in time for all the holiday events. This little scar wont be gone til next year...yay

Halloween night enjoying his LoLLiPoP!
He looks so old in this picture... and grumpy
Just relaxin...tryin to fall asleep on the way home.

Having a melt down on the table...always fun!

Singin with the choir!

Love his little cheesy face!

The fun way to shop!

He didnt want to choose JUST one :)

a BiRtHdAy and some DuCks!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy to Danny!!! His birthday was on Friday the 13th...luckily nothing bad happened :) He is not a fan of birthdays so i will make it short. He doesnt like being reminded he's getting older. We celebrated with some YuMMy ice cream cake from DQ! The next day we also went out for pizza but that could be cause we were hungry! Oh well...im saying it was for his birthday. Sorry i dont have any pics...maybe next year.

HaPpY BirThDaY SwEeTheArT!!!

On Sunday after church my mom and Rachel came over. Merrick insisted on going outside to look at the ducks. When he came back home...the ducks came too! Yes they followed him all the way across the street into our front yard. It was so fun for him to throw bread at them ((even though all the signs around the lake state do NOT feed the ducks)) He would throw the bread and excitedly scream as the ducks fought over it. Quite funny!!!

Halloween 2009

HaLLoWeen was alot of fun this year! Merrick caught on a little to the idea of trick or treating but was mostly interested in picking the lollipops out of his bucket! As you can see he was a

Lil MoNsTer!!!

While trick-or-treating, Merrick prefered to run along side us all by himselft. He fell on his face 3 times. Needless to say we made it down one street and we were all done.

Making his entrance to the party!

Merricks friend Brooklyn!
She was the cutest little ladybug running all around!

Now on to Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!

Why did my son have cinnamon rolls, cheetos and a sucker for dinner last night?! Dont worry, he was provided ravioli, apple slices and a piece of bread but chose to throw them on the ground. What a nutritious, un healthy meal!

P.S.

Halloween pictures coming soon!

Fall is here!

Forget decorating the house again....i just wanna decorate for fall!!! I've waited since last November to put out all my new stuff ((from clearance!)) This is as far as i got though...

The glitter pumpkin!!

By far Merricks favorite...just his height.

Can you tell i LoVe pumpkins?!

Even though he is wearing a witch hat...thats not what he is going to be!

Its a SuRpRiSe!!!!

Update: So yes we have moved from our long time residence in Florence (i say this cause we surpassed the 6 month rule and actually lived there for 1 1/2 years!) We moved to Chandler to be closer to school and work. So far.....i LOVE it!!!!! Its soo nice yet weird being so close to shopping/food/street lights! We finally got our hot water turned on today! We have been taking cold showers or boiling lots and lots of water for the past week. We have NO tv...not even local channels so its been quite boring. I should use this time wisely but i find myself on the internet. Merrick is sick now too. He contracted the common cold and then broke out in a rash all over his body. He has been super cuddly and whiney which is not like him. I'll take the cuddly part though!

I think this picture accurately describes my LiFe right now. i LOVE moving...
