Fourth of July

This 4th of July I went to Utah with Ella. I had family reunions on my Dad and Moms side. Trae and Parker stayed and celebrated it with his family. It was a quick trip just a few days and I thought it would be cheaper and less exhausting going with just Ella and myself. Now looking back I wish I would of just taken the whole family. Oh well we all had fun.

Parker and his cousins went to the 4th of July Parade. He loves parades!

we will do it again and hopefully he can come next time.

I remember this foot stool from when I was little.

This is the play house I played in all the time
growing up. We had dress up clothes in there and
we would come out and Grandma would present us as if
we were in a fashion show! So many wonderful memories!

This slide was sleep and when wet quite
dangerous but we had a lot of fun on it
every summer at Grandmas.

The old Barn behind Grandmas house.
I love it! Makes for a cute picture.

I would have more pictures but I did
not bring my camera so my family helped me out.
Thank you all for taking and sharing pictures with me.
When I got back to Arizona I told Trae we have got to
visit Utah at least every other year. I missed everyone so much!

Graduations and Congratulations!

We are so proud of our Graduates! Congratulations- MOMO, Bethany, Isaac, and Cathy!


Julie graduated in September with her Bachelor degree in Psychology. She was not able to attend the graduation since it was in Iowa so we threw her a surprise graduation party. Trae gave the graduation speech and the kids participated. It was fun and we are so proud of her!


SURPRISE!


We knew she would cry :)

Happy Mothers Day

I woke up on Mother's Day to an excited Parker. Parker and Dad were working on my present and he was excited to share it. Parker would hide and I had to find him. Each time I found him he handed me a letter that said sweet things on it. At the end I had to figure out what word the letters formed. I am not good at this sort of game and Trae forgot the G which did not help so with a little help I figured out it said MASSAGE. Yeah I need one! Thank you my sweet boys. It was a good Mother's Day.

All dressed up for Church

We love you G.G.

Ella's Blessing Day

Ella Elaine Morris was blessed on May 3, 2009. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful Girl in a beautiful dress.
She looked like an angel. We love you so much Ella! Thank you everyone for coming and enjoying the special day with us.

Happy Easter

We managed to get a family picture but we could not keep our children dressed up. This was the best one we got.


It has been so fun now that Parker kind of knows what is going on with all the Holidays. He was excited about Easter and he would run and see an egg and say "there's one!" Then he would grab it and bring it to me who was holding his basket. We tried to get him to hold it but he liked his idea better. When he found all the eggs and realized there was candy in them well then that was GREAT! He stuffed his face and then dumped the entire basket on the floor. Ahhhh gotta love him!


Ella just watched the whole thing sitting quietly. She is so sweet and I know she can't wait to join in the fun with her brother one day. We love having her as a part of our family. She is smiling now. Every morning when I say "Good Morning" I get the biggest wide open mouth smile. She is a doll.

ALL DRESSED UP FOR EASTER!

Seriously he is the cutest kid ever!


Ella's dress kept riding up. It said it was a 3months but
it did not seem to fit so well. And she did not keep her bow
in her hair. Oh well still stinking cute!
