Summer Highlights

The first weekend in June was the Merrill Girls get together.
My mom and her sisters and their daughters met in Las Vegas at Aunt Carol's house.
It was a fast trip, but so fun to see everyone who could make it. Aunt Carol spoiled us with good cooking and a comfortable place to stay. We visited with each other and went and saw some Vegas sites.

Roller Coaster ride.






Abby's Huge tonsils!
This will be the last of all the snoring.


Abby was such a great patient, and I thought she was soo cute.


She asked the Doctor if she could keep her tonsils. He said she could only see them. whew.
The whole procedure took a bout 2 hours. She went home and was on pain medication for a couple of days, then Tylenol worked after that. It took a good 7 days for her to get back to her
old self. I don't think we'll ever forget that stinky breath!




On the 4th of July we were at the Lake. Yeah. I love it!

Daniel took Austin on his first wake board ride, and of course he loved it.



Ty, Abby and Jayna


It was a hot day, but that's perfect for the lake.



Mark doesn't love the lake like I do, and I don't love hunting like he does.
Marriage :)



Daniel had some fireworks and sparklers, so we had our own private show.



Austin and Abby had a great time.
We are so blessed for the freedoms we have.







July 18th
Happy 3rd Birthday!


Celebrating with some of his cousins.
He wanted a blue cake, and picked out the spongebob decor.


I love this little boy to pieces. He is such a happy kid. I'm amazed at all he things
he can do. Smart too, he seems to catch on to things pretty quickly. (except potty-training)
He is such a sweet boy to his mom. Kisses and Hugs all the time.









Big Hardy Reunion
It's always fun to get together and see everyone. This year was great, for a couple of hours we were all there. I love being part of this family and enjoy spending time with them.

There's always plenty of crawdads around. This one was courtesy of Chase.
Austin was really proud of himself for holding it.
Nate, Austin, Travis
All the big kids were going down this hill, and Austin always tells us he's big, so he did it also.
All by himself.

This is the jump at the end of the hill.

  1. Looks like you guys have had a fun summer. You got some great pictures. I can't get over the fact that Austin was wake boarding. He is definatly Mark's kid.:) Can I get a copy of the one of Austin and Travis holding the crawdad as well as some from the retirement party? Thanks
