Rainy Day Bowling

Apparently Fargo, Nd only has 3 saesons- Spring, Summer, and Winter. It went from being 75-80 degrees one week to 40- 50 degrees the next. There was no in between! Not only is it stinkin cold but it's been rainy for the last 2 weeks. Craziness!

Last Thursday it was so dang cold and so dang rainy that Justin decided to let the boys go out at 4 instead of 12. So we all went bowling! There was like 15 of us and we had so much fun!

Jemma observing and wondering how throwing a ball at some pins could be fun .

Laena checked on Jemma like 10 times.

Finally Jemma got sick of everyone else having the fun.

Clockwise: Justin, Kaela, Kendra, Winston

Arizona Trip

We just took a trip back to Arizona. SO MUCH FUN! It was awesome to see everyone and take a little mental break from the summer.

We've been up since 3am and you can tell from these poor faces.

Wahoo! We were so excited to land and be home! Felt SOOOO good!

This is how we sleep in Arizona. Poor kid was sweatin through her blanky.

Merrell women gettin ready for church and baby Kameron's baby blessing. We fit 6 girls in one bathroom!

All the Merrell cousins! Lots & lots of fun!!

Kai is THE happiest baby you will ever meet. We had so much fun hanging out with him and his mommy and daddy.

They're they best of friends.

Except when Jemma gets anrgy. :) She may be a runt but she can hold her own!

Pretty Arizona sunrise. 6am at the airport...... gross.

Laena Regressing

Laena loves playing with Jemma, even if it means she takes a few steps back in her learning process. They're cute little cousins.

Gangster Kid

Justin wanted to do her hair this one day, it had to be a mohawk. I made sure to put a bow on her head before we went out. Then she topped of the look with her thug face! Daddy's little girl :)

The Chubster!!!
