Merrill Family

So....we were sad because we didn't get to go to the Grahams for the Merrill Reunion,

but we had a busy weekend.......

Kalicia's cat "Ballerina" had kittens and she named them all "Cutie Pie".

She said she is the mom and spends most of the day in the garage with them.

We drove to the valley......

....and got to visit Grandpa and Grandma Burgoyne. We had a wonderful time and got to go to church with them. It was so great to see Grandpa up and around and doing so well!

Then we went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Lawlor.

Grandma Lawlor had so many fun stories to tell us.

Then off to perform at the Diamond Backs game again!

We loved having our friends come.

Collette's girls and my girls had so much fun together!

Daddy loved getting to go to another Diamond Backs game!

(Sorry, they lost this time)

UncleKeith and Aunt Sierra spoiled the girls with lots of candy again!

Oh, how I loved hanging out with childhood friends!

It was just like we were giddy little girls again!

And now Collette's girls and my girls are becoming good friends!

(Auntie) Lucia brought her family. The girls loved having their cousins there!

What a fun crowd we had sittin' together watching the game.

Our new "nanny" Loraina. The girls adore her.

Charlotte, Cassideen, and Kalicia

Grandma and Grandpa Maland, what fun to have more grandparents!

(We adopted them when we adopted Austin)

I am such a proud mom. I got such beautiful talented girls!

Kalicia, their cousin (Welcome), Charlotte

Charlotte is truly a "star" in our family.

Dancing with their Dance Matrix Team on the Diamond Back's field

in front of thousands of people for the pre-show.

We were sad the boys couldn't be there this time because it was Labor Day

and McDonalds wouldn't let them off work.

Caroline can't wait to dance with her big sisters!

Then the girls were so sad to not get to go camping at Mt Graham..........

....So we camped in our backyard instead!

We had a fire, roasted marshmellows, and foil dinners.
