Spring is close and March is packed minute to minute!

Happy Birthday to my Charlotte!!  Can’t believe this beautiful girl is 14 years old! My heart girl! Since she was born, the heart has always been her symbol!  Charlotte is always so full of love and happiness! No matter how hard things get for her :-) #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #happybirthday #cerebralpalsy #rarediseases #icandohardthings


 




















Make-A-Wish Foundation

Wish Ball was a great success!! We were so privileged to get to have our kids be Make a Wish Ambassadors and help raise money for 560 wish kids this coming year!!! It was a beautiful night with amazing people! Thank you!! Charlotte’s motto is “don’t dwell on your problems, focus on your possibilities!” Went right along with our “Extraordinary teenagers” this morning! #wishball2018 #makeawish #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether @ JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa

Exploring art! Learning about contrasting colors and bringing out points of interest in their paintings, using mats and frames. Beautiful perspective on each of them. My artists also loved learning about the dark heavy lines and shapes of Vincent van Gogh. And all the bright colors!☀️🌲🌿🌻














Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
 Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

 








Utah Trip with Harrison!!
We had such an incredible quick trip!! Freezing cold, slow driving, scary passes through the mountains in the snow!  But oh it was beautiful!! Congrats to our good friend on her marriage to her handsome man!! So glad we got to be apart of it!! Love the architecture of the Temple, one of my favorites!! Loved getting to spend time with the Stewarts and my fun cousins!! Love you guys!!! And I know my kiddos were praying for our safety while driving because we had several few scares, but we felt protected the whole way, even when our plastic guard dropped off the bottom of the car and dragged and created a sail at 80 mph on the interstate. someone showed up just at the right moment to put it back on for me, had his tools and all with him. Thank you to the Good Samaritan  #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #goodsamaritans @ashleigh_booth82 @janicerutledgestewart @terrell.campbell @huntfudgesundae Tifanna!! Lol!! loved seeing one of my long time friends!! @ Logan, Utah





















Fun busy weekend!! The girls were incredible and Harrison was such a good support to his big sisters!! I’ll have to post some tidbits of their talents and Speeches. Charlotte is bringing awareness to rare diseases and disorders through motivational speeches and she used Taylor Swift’s “Shake it off.” Kalicia performed “Into the woods” and little Caro sang “Do re mi” Thank you Grandma Pember and Merrills for coming!! Loved having big brother Austin and Ashley there too!! Odessa you were so sweet to support them. We got to see our cousin, Ella! Now they head to state in June! @aoashley13 @sburgp @vsmerrill #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #eastvalleycinderella #rarediseasesanddisorders #cerebralpalsy @ Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Gilbert
