April

 April 1

Road trip through and around Vegas to our new home in Kanab, Utah! πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ˜…πŸ₯³ #lovezion








April 2

We are on our way back home to Arizona! We have gone back-and-forth the last couple weeks to Utah purchasing this Second home in kanab, A home to share with their big brother, Jon, when he finally gets to come home, when they go visit him in Utah. We created a second home since we can’t seem to get him back to Arizona! So kind of April fools! Lol! πŸ˜…πŸ₯³πŸ˜‚One of our favorite holidays! Usually the kids wake up to a dog food breakfast but we were on the road. Can’t wait for tomorrow, April fools dinner is gonna roll over into the weekend. (it was the kids’ idea to lead others to believe that we picked up and moved to Utah for an April fools joke)

Love you so much Sister Merrill! Thank you for your wonderful example to me and my family. You have always been such a special light since the moment you were born.

Peter and the Star Catcher, prequel to Peter Pan
Love capturing their face expressions and cute little smirks. Amazing group of talented kids! HIlarious! #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #everyonehappierandhealthier #canyoncreekperformingarts #peterandthestarcatcher #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether

















Caroline is crazy cool!! She continues to surprise me!! She’s excited and so motivated to run for student council again πŸ™ŒπŸΌ she completely shocked me last year when she came home with a campaign and signatures and she’s going after it again this year for her Freshman year! She has a mission to bring inclusion! Choose Unified! Play Unified!! Lobos Unified!!


"Peter and the Star Catcher", Fantastic Production! Caroline is so excited but a little sad, knowing this is her last play with CCPA, she is growing up and excited to be in the Highs School Plays!

















Caroline as well as others had little tears last night. Its always exhilarating and a high to perform after hours of practicing. But always a little sad to know that part of life is a bit behind them. Such a wonderful cast of friends! My heart melted as I saw Caroline's cast/friends grab onto her quickly helping her up and down stairs off stage, so she could be included and part of such great and hilarious production! #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #canyoncreekperformingarts #everyonehappierandhealthier #PlayUnified #inclusionmatters #InclusionRevolution #peterandthestarcatcher #thankyoudirectors (a fun little sneak peak and appearance of the directors amongst the mermaid scene)
