Happy 4th of July

We decided this year to go to the Centerville Parade and it was glorious.  Mostly because it started at 9 am and so it wasn't blistering hot like all the parades we usually go to.  Plus for no particular reason it was slightly overcast and even sprinkled a bit.  We had a good spot on the route and the kids got lots of candy.

Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Morris' house for some Dutch Oven and Slip and Slide.  Grandma and Grandpa Brown were there too and Brady as well.

Then when it began to get dark we lit off our own fireworks on the street and played with glowsticks.  Cannon stepped on a hot sparkler stick and that was our only injury after all of those pyrotechnics.

Then we lit a fire and roasted some S'Mores and then we watched 3 firework shows from Grandma and Grandpa's backyard. (notice our matching shirts that Grandma Brown got for us- Thanks Grandma)

We went home very tired but had a GREAT 4th of July.  Hope yours was fun as well!

A Nightmare...

This is Chad...

One day last week, Kirtlan was up with me before I went to work. He told me about a dream he had. It went something like this, "Dad I had a dream last night that was kind of like a nightmare, but not really. There was this monster who was trying to eat me. Then he chased me and chased me, and then he caught up and ate me."
"That sounds scary bud."
"Not really, because he didn't have any teeth."
"Oh. [not willing to discuss digestive juices at this time] so what did you do?"
"I found a door and got out. But then the monster chased me again and I ran away really fast because I didn't want to get eaten again."
"but then you could have just left out the door again."
"yeah. But that's a lot of trouble."

Disney Day

First you need to have a Disney Day ticket 

(and Disney PJ's)

Then you get a special present!

Disney Day 2

THE UNIFORMS

Kirtlan is Dash Incredible (or Mr. Incredible, it changed throughout the day), Maddie is Rosetta the Fairy from the new movie Tink, Kimball is Buzz and Cannon is Woody.

Story Time

We did a lot of other things but for some reason we don't have pictures of them...actually we probably have video but I haven't checked yet.  We got Disney puzzles, coloring books, sticker, played Disney games, ate Disney food, got Disney remote control cars, and in the very end we went to Grandma and Grandpa Browns were they had the Disney channel and Mom and Dad went out to unwind from such an eventful day.

New York and a New Baby

(this is Kimmie posting while logged into Lisa and Jason's email ;) )





So, I went to New York a month ago, and soon after lost my cord to connect the camera to the computer. Yesterday, Lisa found it ( I love her) so here are the pictures. That is the sweet Charisse and I on the train down to the city. My first train ride ever!!!

Then, tilt you're head, and times square! among other things, we went and saw Mary Poppins on Broadway, wandered shops, and got our picture drawn by a hot asian guy. I also ate korean food...kim chi ain't so great.

The next day me and resse went to Albany and saw the tulip festival, Beautiful! I love flowers and everyone is welcome to send me some anytime.

Then, the kiddos and me in our new york shirts.

and last of all, new baby Whitney meets her aunt Kimmie!

Welp, I love the East! but I miss ya in the West!

Pictures of Christian

One of Christian's better pictures....he-he-he

Kimball thinks that Christian is heavy!

Christian Benjamin Morris

Christian was born May 30th 2008

He was 8 lbs. 15 oz. and 22 inches

He was a successful VBAC (hurray!) even though they readied the table for him...

We were able to come home in 24 hours and everything looks great.

Our Crazy Last Couple of Days

Maddie and the Twins had a Dance Recital for FHE.  The twins are the only boys in the whole school.  Thank goodness they are too young to even notice.  Plus they LOVE to perform and were having a blast dancing.

We went to see Brooke and Destini in R&H Cinderella

(note: Cannon was OBSESSED with the flower on Cinderella's dress)

After that we celebrated Brooke Lynn's birthday and had a sleep over in Providence.

Then the next night we went to Grandma and Grandpa Browns for Mothers Day and we each got a balloon and a good nap on the car ride home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMBALL AND CANNON

Mom Brown made this cake for the twins and they were EXCITED!

And that's the Morris chaos...

Movie Quote Game

Because I can't let a dead dog lie, I've resurrected this game...it's been a long time.

-What are some of the most pressing issues facing the environment?

-Ummmm...litter?

-Bugs.

-Forest Fires?

-Well, what about the Ozone Layer?

-Yeah we defiantly got to get rid of that.

Lisa Had Her Baby Girl This Morning

I really don't have much to add to this right now.  Somehow I was so excited that I forgot to ask all the details.  Please feel free to add details in the comment section.

Ballet Class

These are pretty short

My kids are very obedient, see!

This is one afternoon were I got all the kids up in their beds but not Kimball.  He was pretty determined not to have to take a nap.

Family Photo

Aunt Nelle took this picture of us with her phone a week or so ago.

This is a wee little bit late but hey, it's still funny

Bowmans

Ethan the missionary. Ethan loved Elder G. and would show off his cool break dancing moves for him.
Here is my belly, getting bigger and bigger! We still do not have a name for baby #4, any suggestions for a girl name?

College Life

Hey Family!

College Life is busy, but it's fun. One night for FHE, my fam decided to take family pictures. Here is me and my roommates (Left to Right, Me, Macey, Emily, Sarah, Stephanie, Charisse)

And below are the sisters and brothers. My brothers are pretty cool sometimes...but I like my real brothers a whole lot better



This is a pic of the whole family. Notice "mom" and "dad" are holding hands. Pretty sweet huh?

That's me and Jeff at the formal dance we went to last month. Well, actually, its at my apartment before the dance.

I'm almost done with my first year of college! I can hardly believe it. How'd the rest of you do it? Cuz, it's hard stuff.

Love you all!
Kimmie

Family Pictures (It's about time)

You have probably all seen these pics but I thought I'd post them anyways.

Kirtlan and Maddie decided that they looked best with close mouthed smiles.  

The twins on the other hand were always smiling and took direction better than I thought they would.

Don't we have the coolest Santa?

These are some pics I have from the Family Christmas Party.  There's more where this came from.

Shelly
