Another crazy weekend in Tridell.

Last weekend we were lucky enough to
have an excuse to head out to Tridell.

We do not get out there as often as we should
so anytime we can go, we do!!

Clifford was having a pretty big birthday so
we decided to throw a "little" party.

You can always tell how great a person is by how many people show up for their

birthday party. This house was stuffed!!

I love this picture with all the hands trying to help

open the present.

Blowing out the candles.

Of course the girls are surrounding Grandpa.

Sunday we had to have an Easter egg hunt.

First we had to wait for the snow to melt...

Then finally, the next party could began.

The kids had to start hunting in order from youngest

to oldest.

Landon

Lainee

Alexis

Me?! Hey, what the!?

Zachary

Makayla

Kennadee

And last, Justin holding off Taron and Bradley.

Then they all hunted like champs.

Us old folks stood around and watched.

Wow, I look huge! :(

Here are a bunch of the grandkids last year

on Easter.

Look how much they have all grown!!

The kids were more tired than normal so it was extra hard to get a good picture.

Wish baby Lesa could have been here again. :(

And of course, it's not a Merkley get together

without laughing at someone.

The boys told Kari they would give her

3 whole dollars if she ate some CryBaby gum.

Aww, how I love that little piece of country.
