Happy Birthday to Jordan and Jayme

We had a great time celebrating the birhtdays for Jordan and Jayme. Jordan turned sweet 16 and I must say we have been waiting very impatiently for Jordan to be able to drive at night. In Idaho you have to be 16 to drive without an adult at night time. So now she can drive to her games, mutual and the store. Dating is another big thing she gets to begin doing...however, I think I'll be tough on that one. Pictured here are a bunch of her wonderful friends, thank you for coming and helping us surprise her.

Jayme turned 11 and I can't believe it. One more year and she goes to Young Womens. It just doesn't seem possible. She is all grown up already. She got to have lunch at Shon Hing one her favorite places to go with her big sister Jessica and her mom (dad was home not feeling well or I would have been there too) Monday night while we were in Twin we took all of them to AppleBee's for dinner. I think they had a good time. We went over for last minute Christmas shopping. Kayson was a great sport and had us all laughing. (As always)

Its hard to believe that our girls are growing up so fast. Before you know it they'll all be gone and Tammi and I will be left to sit in our chairs and wonder where they all went.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Aftermath

This was really the only good picture taken of thanksgiving because everyone was so busy visiting and eating we forgot to get more pictures.

We had a great time with children all here and even though we had to wait until Saturday before we could celebrate it was worth the wait.

I think everyone had a good dinner thanks to Tammi. She did a wonderful job cooking everything and thanks to those who brought either rolls or pies to top it all off. Our family eats so fast that we're all done in what seems like 10 minutes....but you can see there is one person in the picture that's still eating actually....yep Grandpa Morley! He knows how to really enjoy his meal by taking his time and enjoying each bite. The rest of us could take a lesson in that.

This is a special time of the year. A time to really count our blessings and realize just how much we have been blessed. To see our children with smiles on their faces is icing on the cake for me. You couldn't ask for a better looking family. Even though we are missing a few in the picture trust me they are there some where having a good time. Its hard to believe that Christmas is almost here and soon a New Year will begin. WOW !

A WEEKEND OF FUN!!

Its always a blast to have the kids come home. They usually blast in and blast out, but this trip Kayson and Bump pa got a chance to kick back and do some reading together. It was a joy to have him here and to just take our time and read and spend time together playing cars and trucks on the floor.


The girls made a quick trip to Twin so Kayson and Bump pa had a few hours to play. Jordan helped play until she needed to get ready for a game she was cheering at. Everyone went to MeMe's basketball game in the early morning and then Jordan's game later on in the day, to watch her cheer.








You just have to love this picture of Kayson in the tub. Every minute awake is play time of sorts. I'm not sure you got this picture but I thought it captured his smile and happy look quite well. He had us laughing so much and has the greatest expressions.

Jessica is really a great mom. I'm sure Bryan is a terrific dad and frankly I think they are doing a super good job as parents. Jessica is such a great mother and to watch them play together is so special to watch. I knew she would be a great mother. It doesn't surprise me at all.



Kayson loves to ride his bouncy horse while he is here and really gets it going. He isn't afraid of anything except maybe aunt bugs (jenna) as she hides waiting to chase him into the arms of his mom. He loves it because he always comes back for more of it. Outlaw is printed on his shirt and well lets just say ....he's all boy!

He's only been gone for a few hours but we already miss him....it gets too quiet around here without him.

Can't wait for Thanksgiving

I must say Jenna is getting prettier all the time. She is a great aunt and we enjoyed having her home. Maybe next time, when you take dads car, you can return it with the radio turned down before you get out! My sound system does work rather well......you have given "blown the cob webs out of it" new meaning!

Love you guys

Hurry home
