The Evolution of Dance Presented by....

Kip Dynamite and Deb!! You should pay way more attention to Jer, he's got the groove. We did this dance for the Merrill family reuinon and had so much fun. Can I just say our family is wicked awesome?

Awkward?

If you haven't been to the Awkward Family Photos site you are missing out dearly on some serious laughs! We found this doosie as we were perusing the merchandise. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Title: Beautiful Mind

Ever wondered what the kid with the clarinet is really thinking?

A Rocking Child of God

Claire has been doing some wild rifts on this bad boy. Here's her latest performance just before bedtime.

Poor Bumbo Baby

We are moving today. Therefore Macy has looked like this for a good portion of the day.
Not to mention Claire has a monster fever we keep breaking. Have I mentioned how fun it is to give her medicine? It is an experience...

Companions

Whenever I lay Macy on the floor I always return to find a Clairey Janer has joined her. It makes me smile to see their cute little bodies laying by each other just enjoying each others company and a little Tinkerbell.

Treehouse Splashing

Ahhh....to be with the lovely Treehouse girls! We missed you dearly Jen!! I am sure I talk about the "treehouse girls" here and there and if you are confused as to whom I am referring here is the explanation. The Treehouse girls are all of my old roomies from college. We are still really close and love to get together when any of us are in town. We have two out of staters, and the rest of us live close together. I can't say enough about the awesome girls that I lived with in college. They are all amazingly accomplished individuals and I have learned so much from each of them. Love you!!

It is so fun to see our kids playing together and having such a good time! Here is some of the excitement.

Merrill Family Reunion 2009

Where have we been? Playing super hard at the Merrill Family Reunion!! We had a blast swimming at Cherry Hill and then we headed up Ogden Canyon to condos at Wolf Creek Lodge. We had an Olympic theme so we did all sorts of events with the kids like 3 legged race, water balloon launch, tug-o-war, and a balloon javelin toss! So fun! After playing our guts out, the last night we had a talent show where Jer and I did "the evolution of dance" as Kip and Deb from Napoleon Dynamite. It was AWESOME to say the least. If I am nice I just might post it for you...but I would have to be really nice because this baby weight of mine is definitely still hanging on tight and is oh, so visible in my stretchy pants!!

Claire was so excited to be with ALL her cousins at once and I loved being with my sibs! Not to mention my awesome parents. Thank you Miranda and Andrew for a fantastic time!! We loved every minute.

Getting ready for the Olympic events

Super cute sisters!

Macer is ready to go!

She isn't having any fun is she?

Aunt Tera and I were co-captains of the "Little Team"(that was our name). They were the best team out there!! They were so much fun. I don't think I have sung "Do As I'm Doing" that many times in row...ever!Macy was mostly a spectator.

Duet anyone?
