Family Pics!

So we finally got are Family Pictures done for this year! We had a lady that is local do them! I absolutely LOVE LOVE them!! I think she did such a great job and she was so much fun! We also did all of Cory's family pics too. They turned out amazing I think. Not sure what everyone else thought but I loved them!!
I can't believe that is already Thanksgiving. I love this time of year. All the family time and decorations! We get to go to Vernal this year for Thanksgiving!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! I have missed it so much! I've missed my family, friends, and just the town! I know its weird to say since all I use to say was how I couldn't wait to leave it, and now I miss it so much!!!
I've been thinking about all the many things I have to be grateful this year for; there is so many things that I'm thankful for!
* I'm thankful for my wonderful husband; and how he is my best friend!
* I'm so very thankful for my little boy! He is the center of our world and we love it! We couldn't imagine our life with out him!
* I'm thankful for our roof over our head, food on our table, and for Cory's job!
* I'm thankful for all my wonderful nieces and nephews!
* I'm thankful for my in-laws.
* I'm so very thankful for the gospel! It help comforts me when I need it!
* I'm so very thankful for my Heavenly Father and the Holy ghost!
*I'm so thankful for this WONDERFUL country and the people who serve it!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Some new thing Devyn is doing now:

* He is a talker!!
* If asked where his eyes are; he points to the back of his head!!!
* HE LOVES MR. KITTY!!!

Devyn was the Scarecrow from The Wizard of OZ.. He was so stinking cute and was so much to take trick or treating!! We went to trunk or treat and he was kinda ornery at first!! He got into it after awhile and was running to try to keep up with his cousins!!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween

More of Devyn!

I have to post this video of Devyn. I had him in the bath last night; while I was cleaning the counter Devyn decided to line very thing up on the bath tub! Which made me laugh; he is so much like his father! I hope you enjoy it makes me laugh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVYN!!

I know I'm about a week late blogging! But what the heck happen to this past year! It went by so stinking fast!
We cannot believe our little guy is already a year! He is so much fun and is such a ham for sure! Cory and I were talking the night before his birthday; I said "Do you remember this night last year? How we slept like crap? How every time I needed to go pee you had to wake up and un hook me so I could go?" He said "Yeah it freaking sucked so bad."
I remember how excited we both were the next day when we met our little boy! Now look a year later and he think he is so big!
Here is somethings about Devyn:
*He loves playing with basketballs, soccer balls, and thing that has a ball to do with it!
* He is a HUGE mommy boy!! (which is ok with me)
* He loves animals but his favorite is dogs; all day long he yells for the puppies next door!
* He loves music and dances all the time!
* He loves his cousins and playing with them.
* He likes to throw stuff away since we made him throw his bottles away!

We had so much fun at his birthday party; mind you that he didn't really care for opening presents he just wanted to play with kiddos. He loved cake though and of course being the center of everyone's attention he is such a ham! I have no idea where he got that from! We can't tell you how much we love this little boy and how we couldn't picture our life with out him!!! WE LOVE YOUR DEVYN AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Wow were has the time went this summer!! I have been a terrible blogger lately! Where do I begin? We have been so busy and having tons of fun in the sun! Devyn is getting so big and so much fun! He is one of a kind! He is quite the ham which I'm not sure where he gets that from!! Here are some pictures of Devyn and us enjoying the fun!!

Devyn is now 10 months!! How can that be!! My baby is getting so big; its a bitter sweet thing! He is becoming so much fun at this stage; but oh how I miss so the tiny baby stage! Devyn has started walking and is getting better at it everyday! He looks like King Lou off of the Jungle book! It is super cute! Devyn blows kisses and waves goodbye! Which has took us awhile to get him to do! He says Hey dog and Hey dad all the time! He absolutely loves dogs! He loves any cartoons with dogs on it! I wish we could have one! He pretends to sneeze all the time its SUPER CUTE!!! He is a jibberjabber! Devyn adores his cousins! He looks at their pictures and get super excited! He would love to be outside all the time if it was allowed! Can you believe he is going to be a year in two months! Crazy I know!!!

Veranl Trip!

Devyn and I went to Vernal for a week. Cory is working long hours and more days due to the Shut down at work. So We went out last Monday and stayed tell Friday morning. I was SUPER nervous about driving that far by myself with Devyn. I'm not a city driver either! Anyone who knows me knows that I have huge anxiety attacks when it come to traffic but surprise I did just fine! Devyn was awesome slept the whole way!
We had so much fun hanging with my family. I was terrible and didn't take any pictures; I know sad! We hung out with Megan, Casey, their kids, Rilee, and her boy the whole time! Can't tell you how much fun that was! It made me miss Vernal a ton. Its hard when I don't get to see my niece and nephews all the time! They change so much!
I hope my mom enjoyed us the whole time we were there! I'm pretty sure My son came home spoiled rotten because of it! I was glad to be able to spend time with her! I miss her alot! I MISS MY WHOLE FAMILY!
Anyways on Wednesday we had a lady take Devyn's 8 month pictures! He did so good and was so much fun! Melinda was awesome! She had my pictures edited for me the next day so I could take them home before we left. I LOVE HIS PICTURES! There are so many I don't know how I'm going to decided which ones I want!
OH YEAH HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS IN MY LIFE! YOUR AMAZING AND SUCH GOOD EXAMPLES TO ME!

Time Flies when your having Fun!!!

So its been awhile since I have blogged about are cute little guy! I can't believe how time has flown by! Devyn is now 7 months CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, I can't!! He has grown so much and is a blast. Devyr's is 15 lbs and 25 "; poor boy has no hope at being tall! He got his first tooth on Easter and the second the next day! Long week for Mom ; THANK GOODNESS FOR MT DEW!!! He rolls everywhere and is into everything! He is trying to crawl but can't figure out how to go forward!! He loves his daddy! He gets so excited to see him when he gets home from work! So is mommy!!! He loves his cousins, he gets so excited when they come over! We let him swing when it was warm once and he loved it and laughed the whole time! Now if the weather would stay warm we could do it more often!

Oh how I wish!!!

Isn't it funny when you get older how your wants change! I remember not long ago all I wanted was clothes, shoes, and the next hot phone! Now that I'm a mom and a wife; my wants have changed. This dyson is my next toy I want! I can not wait for it looks AMAZING!!! It would be perfect for our new place with all the hard wood floor and rugs!!! COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I CAN GET THIS!!!

The Healer

I found this video on a friends blog! It made me start thinking about how this time last year we were having problems with the pregnancy! I remember how scared Cory and I both were about what might happen but, the peaceful feeling I got the night I had the blessing. I knew that everything was going to be ok and that are little one was a fighter and that he was going to make it!! Thanks Kristen for posting this! I really needed it! I hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Love,

The Merrills!!!

Oh How I miss it!

So this afternoon I found a channel that showed College Gymnastics!! Can I tell you how excited i was to see this? Anyone who knows me knows how much I love this sport! When I was younger my gymnastics teacher Jenny would take me to watch the UofU compete. It was the funniest thing ever! I use to dream of being on their gymnastics team! Oh how I still love to watch it! Maybe one day I will be able to talk Cory into taking to watch them again! I've already tried to convince him that this was the sport for Devyn. He didn't agree so much!! So one day if I ever have another little one and its a girl! I already got her future planned! We will see how that goes!!!

Love,

The Merrills
