5 months pregnant

I'm finally getting a picture of my belly so everyone can see that I am getting bigger! I'm about 5 1/2 months now. And she just loves to kick when anything is pushing on my tummy, like my pants or especially my bladder. Apparently she likes her space in there. And everything so far is going good.
I haven't had anyone take a picture, so I did it myself, and my camera doesn't stand up on its side very well, so it wasn't easy, this is the best one I could get, mainly cause I gave up trying. ;)
And no, I am not wearing pink gloves, my hands are just that dry here in Utah, that is what they look like all winter!

Trees appreciate Merrill's new survey!

Hello. I am Merrill's ficus tree. I am a tree. I think Merrill's survey is cool. I took it so you should too.

Merrill's Survey!!!

Hey Everyone! I had to make a survey for my marketing class at BYU. It's a really short survey about trees. The results are totally anonymous. Please take it and tell everyone you know to take it too! Mother-in-laws are especially encouraged to take it.

It's super cool and everyone's doing it so you should too, if you wanna be cool.

Christmas

This year we went to Oregon to have Christmas with my family. They started out the week with an ice storm, and lost their power. We got power back the day after Christmas. They had the generator running so we could have a light on and watch a movie or something. Here are some pictures of our week!

Everybody Christmas morning before opening presents

Merrill and Wyatt both got hammers for Christmas! ;)

Wyatt got a rocking/bouncing horse from his Grandma and Grandpa Bird.
