I don't Even know where to begin these last two weeks have been full of things happening....if one didn't know better you would think that it was summer.....oh yeah thats right it is. So let's see I think that i will begin on the 1st of July. My family came through on their way up to Wyoming for our annual Merritt family Reunion. They picked up air and then were on their way. The folowing Caitlin and I loaded the car and Tanner into the car and began a grewling trip up to the reunion. I only say grewling because Caitlin was still healing from the whole child birth thingamabob, and I-15 north of Salt Lake City was rougher than the back road to my grandmas. We stopped at Greatgrandma Dolly's house and that was a lot of fun, then we went straight, or at least as straight as we could with a 3 week old baby in the car, to Wyoming. We stayed from Wednesday all the way till Saturday the 5th. We had loads of fun and found out that the mosquito wipes work well on kids and they don't mind them to much. We came home and on the 6th blessed tanner in the cedar 7th ward. It was a very nice Sacrament meeting. We took pictures and then Caitlin's Family made lunches for my whole family her Family and also the Reimschiissels. The Following day we had our good friends the Skinner come down to go to some plays of the Utah Shakesperian festival and visit of course. We had a blast and even got to compete at guitar hero Aerosmith it was awesome. Then we had 3 days to ourselves, Caitlin Tanner Ariel and Myself, till on friday my Mom came up to go to a roping in Panguitch Ut. To our suprise and displeasure mom annouced that our Nanny, Ariel, would be again returning to AZ. We missed her the minute she left, and no I am not Butt kissing, Caitlin and I now Have to change ALL of Tanner's dirty diapers. Ariel was such a big help. They packed Ariel's things and left Sunday afternoon. A house all to our selves......you would think that stress was releived and we would be able to sleep but no for 3 consecetive night I have had Insomnia and every time I start to get tired Tanner thinks it is the perfect time to wake up. So here we are to the present .....oh i forgot one thing......one tradition that we have when family(babies) go to wyoming for the first time we put their feet into the creek to help them like the cold, I guess. So now we are up to date on everything i will post pic's of the last two weeks in order the best i can.
here is Grandma(Caitlin's) Dolly
