Rhiannon finished the day with a 3rd place ribbon for her vault and a 6th place ribbon for her work on the uneven bars. Way to go Rhiannon!!! We are super proud of you!!

WOW!

Oh my Gosh!! I can't believe I haven't updated since NOVEMBER!! Things here are awesome!! In December I went back to Maryland to help out my Dad. He was having some medical issues but is doing great now. Our new year has been off to a terrific start. The kids are doing great in school and both are beginning crazy busy sports seasons. K.J. has his first baseball tournament on April 2nd and Rhiannon has her first gymnastics meet the very same day! It will be very busy around Team Merrill headquarters for a while.

Best Buddies loving BYU!

K.J. and his best buddy Tye at the BYU game in

HALLOWEEN 2008

"Brains, Brains!"

The Good Witches of the West!

All of the Kids getting ready to go out! (K.J. is the one in the helmet)

Halloween was really fun this year. Rhiannon made a great zombie running around asking for everyone's "Brains, Brains".
My BFF Emily and I always dress up as witches, good ones of course! K.J. made a great Reed Doughty. (His favorite Washington Redskin who graduated from Roosevelt High School here in Johnstown!) The kids went trick or treating this year for the first time without Mom or Dad. They had a great time with their friends and were really excited. The night ended like it does every year with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate and some fresh from the oven pumpkin bread!!
