August

August was such a fun month. We spent the first week on the mountain at the annual "Merrell Family Reunion". Ataya and TaiLee absolutely love being outside all day! It really was alot of fun!

Andy and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary on the 28th. We had such a great time. We spend a few days at the Stein Erickson Resort. It was a much needed, relaxing weekend. We were sad to leave but missed our babies soo soo much!

Andy enjoying our view!

Taya also played Itty Bitty Ball, I hate to brag but she did soo good!

In 2003 I moved home for a summetime job and met Andy who worked for the same company. After a few weeks we went on our first date and I guess the rest is history. In August of 2004 we were married!!! I never thought that I would find someone to fill the big shoes of my own dad but turned out that moving back to Vernal was a blessing in dusguise. I married such an amazing husband. He has so many qualities that I have always wanted in a husband but most importantly, we always have so much fun together!

On March 17, 2006 (St.Patrick's Day) we had our first miracle, Ataya Brooks. Her first few months she fought hard to stay in this world. At five weeks old she went through heart surgery to repair a coarctation of her Aorta. The doctors and nurses would always comment on how feisty she was which contributed to a complete recovery. Ataya has grown so much, she amazes us everyday. She is so funny, she makes all of us laugh around the clock! She has also turned in to the best big sister. She helps with everything and starts everday with a big hug and kiss for her baby sister! Although she is usually still half asleep, it is so cute!! We are so thankful for modern medicine and all of the girls who have Turners Syndrome to give us the knowledge that we have and the opportunity to raise such an amazing daughter!

So it turned out that I not only married an amazing husband he is an even more amazing father, so...... (although by total accident) we went on the have another little girl. In June of 2008 we had our second miracle, TaiLee Drew. She was ready to come in to this world. If we would have blinked we could have missed her birth, she came so fast! She is such a good baby. The only time she gets mad is if someone is late for her feeding time. She has been so much fun. No one can make her laugh like her big sister, we love hearing the huge belly laughs when Tay and Tai play together. They have both got their daddy wrapped around their little finger. They can get anything out of him. Our girls are such a joy, we can't imagine life without them!
