February 2025

 Feb 2.

Fun drive to Utah and back to see our son and brother, Jonny Boy. It’s so wonderful to see him a part of our life again. We fit a fun couple photo shoots in for Kalicia’s mission and Kaylee’s engagement pictures!! It was a beautiful 🤩 sunny day near Zions National Park. A perfect way to spend a Sunday… church, nature, friends and family. 🙌🏼🩵 #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #FriendlyFelon #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #livelifeactivated #photoshoot #zion #family #friends #photostocome (I loved Jon‘s comment/post on Kalicia -yes, he’s adopted) 😂 #mymommaheart

We got to visit grandpa and grandma today 🙌🏼 In case anyone wants an update on Grandpa Pember…. It’s boring which is a good thing! 😃 they took out his last drain out of his leg! No more! Grandma’s happy about that! Wounds are healing but slowly. He’s got an infection in the grafted area but nothing antibiotics can’t fix. He now gets around with only a walker! Slowly 🙏🏼 No wheelchair 🎉.
Physical therapy is keeping him busy and grandmas the best caretaker anyone can ask for. Grandpa is a blessed guy! #countingourblessings #stillalongroadahead

Momma, celebrating you today, happy birthday! I love being your daughter and best friend...Who knew that we would be?!? Lol, God definitely did. He put us two together so that we can learn and grow beside each other. It is a beautiful thing. He knew what He was doing and I am the luckiest to call you mom! You exemplify our Saviors love so daringly and so beautifully. I love you!
Mom, thank you for your kind example everyday.
Liebe diene 🩷 kika
