Our new toys

 So, once a year there comes a day when I am officially thanked for my efforts in a very busy and extremely demanding job (I wish type picked up sarcasm...). I believe it's now officially called Administrative Professionals Day. But I still like to call it Secretary's Day. This year my generous bosses took me and another secretary out to a very classy lunch (according to them) at the good ol' Olive Garden.

It was nice and I filled myself up on breadsticks as usual.

Then my boss (who's seriously the best ever) presented me with an envelope from the "Weber County Collections Dept"- yeah I know, hilarious. Inside the envelope was a gift card to one of my favorite stores: Roberts. And this is what I got:

Now, it may not look exciting to you but I have wanted this clip it up thing forever so I don't have to keep digging through a completely jam packed basket full of stuff. I love it- now I just need another one to hold the rest of my junk.

And then I decided to by myself my own little token of appreciation. I found this at Target and had to have it. I actually want to go back and get the whole set. So cute!

Oh yeah, one more thing. The Merrills finally broke down and bought a Wii. Yep, we are finally on that nerd wagon. :) My kids love it. Here are some funny pics I snapped of Zach playing it this morning. The kid cracks me up.

It's that time of year...

For the past couple years, Zachary has started asking for a mohawk in like February. We started doing mohawks the summer before he turned one (and Karter before that but he's not a fan anymore) and he's loved them ever since. We talk him into waiting until it's a little warmer and this is the week. He was giggly the whole time I was doing it and he couldn't be happier. I love my funny, awesome little boy!

It's what FUN is!

We are finally Lagoon season passport holders!

We are so excited to be able to drive the short distance to Lagoon whenever we are feeling it.

We went on Saturday and it was probably the funnest, most relaxing time I've ever had there. It was so nice not to have to rush- to feel like we had to pack so much into one day (since normally it's so freaking expensive!). It was awesome!

We rode some rides...

We played some games...

(and won some prizes!!)

We did a photo shoot for this kid...

(man, he cracks me up! he's running from the dragon in the last one..)

And we had a fun, FUN time! We can't wait to go back!
