Where is everyone?

You can follow this child in Korea/Japan on 'The Merriman" blog listed at the right. She's on Tour with the BYU Wind Symphony. People won't stop touching her hair. I'm sure they were unprepared for the Mandy Child. Ryan M, are you doing ok? Remember - Del cooks.... Mandy and I talk on Skype each chance we get - the time change is outrageous. She will have wonderful memories to tell her kids someday. She's also featured as a soloist in one of their concert pieces and so the world gets to hear her amazing talents! Go Manda Panda! Wait - are there pandas there? Well, if not - at least there's a Manda....

You can follow this child on "The Doxstader" link listed at the right. Ashley just finished up her last Heat Transfer final at the U of U for her Masters Program - finishing touches will be in the fall. Right after the test - she burned her fingers on a hot can, think she passed the heat transfer test? She's playing in a reunion JHS Jazz Band on the 14th of this month - is rusty a chemical? Love you Lee Lee! (: Mike - you are Hot-ta-ta... These are my Angel and Demon children - can you guess which is which? Thought so...

You can't foll0w this child - because we love him so much we want to keep him private - but they might let you in if you request it. They are my 'Royal Hillary' bloggers. Andy wasn't allowed to put a dime in his mouth that he found on the ground - that's the story they wrote, but I believe it was because he misses his favorite Grandma's and Grandpa's in Utah! (: I LOVE THESE PICTURES SO MUCH THAT I ACTUALLY STOLE THEM FROM THEIR BLOG - please forgive me.... Love my Matt & Bethany & Andy! Please tell Anne of Green Gables Hello! Oh - and Edward Cullen from Forks too.

You can follow the celebration for this one in 3 days - as I get a phone call from El Paso, Texas for Mother's Day, and we also hit the 599 days left mark - GOOD BYE 600's eh?! Elder Hillary just had another Baptism - and it was a wonderful story. Swine Flu is a friendly reminder why we pray so much. So far - so good. He's a trooper and we are very proud of him in every way. Transfers are Monday - we'll see where the adventure continues from. Love you Elder H!

I say - If you've got 'em flaunt 'em. Can you tell I love 'em? They are my adventures - and life is S-W-E-E-E-E-T with them in my life. Can you imagine the noise in Heaven before they came to earth? Must have been a beautiful place! Anywho - enjoy them, their stories are way fun - they're surely worth every moment spent in raising them! Love Ya Kids! Love Ya Andy!

Oh - and if you are curious about Del and I, you can find out about us here at the homesite. As you can see, empty nesting suits us well. Once we've found our teeth, glasses, and hearing aids we're on the go. Del has a 100 mile Race for the Cure bicycle ride for Diabetes in June, and I have a 100 mile Little Red Riding Hood ride for Cancer just before that, so you can see we're getting ready to hit the road in this picture. Right after the ride, we come home and get on the Harley's and remind ourselves how much more fun - real horsepower - can be. "How did you get your bike clips on those boots dear?" "Nice butt padded dress there honey!" Please pass the Advil... and a Cliff Bar, and throw in a Rock Star...
