Dillon & Jacob's first day of school

Lake San Antonio Family Trip 2008

Day at the X-Games

Jeff's boss dropped off some free tickets to the x-games one Saturday morning and both Jeff and I weren't home so when we found out we both rushed home got ready as fast as we could and headed to Carson to go to the x-games. Well as soon as we were walking in we heard Ryan Sheckler autograph signing over at Oakley. The boys were so excited to hear his name so when we got in we walked over to where Oakley was and a small line had begun to form. Jeff didn't want us to stand in line because we could be there for hours but Jacob wearing his Oakley Ryan Sheckler sunglasses was extremely excited for the chance to meet him so I stood in line with him. After about 45 minutes we realized we had nothing for him to sign so I called Jeff and had him stand in line for us while we went to look for something to buy. We finally found a x-game skateboard for Jacob and an x-game hat for Dillon. When we returned back to the line there was so many people in line and a lot of people were trying to sneak in. We ended up waiting a total of 1 1/2 hours until he showed up and oh lord were the boys excited. We watch the Life of Ryan show on MTV and they reconized his brothers and friends from the show. Dillon loves Kane Sheckler which is Ryan's youngest brother and he was there. Anyway we got to meet him and he signed their things and Dillon's favorite part was when Ryan said to him "What's up boss". Jeff said I was more excited then the boys but I don't know about that

Dillon's Preschool Graduation

Dillon was so excited to have his little graduation ceremony. He was so cute when he had to get up on the little stage and speak into the microphone. We all thought he would be too embarrassed to speak but he has a way of always proving us wrong and in a very loud and clear voice he said my name is Dillon Ryan Merrill and when I grow up I want to be a football player. It was a special day.
