A little more Halloween fun
7:11 PM
3:36 PM
This is the hammock and the girls that I love so very much.
I just wish we didn't have responsibilities
that keep us away from the hammock

Is Awesome!
I asked her what I should post, and that is what she wanted me to post. Well, that's what she told me to post. I don't really know if it is what she wanted. But she did just beat our roommate Alia in a towel whipping contest. So yeah, she is awesome.
Anyway, just a quick update...
School is hard. I don't really like it yet, but hopefully I get excited about it again soon. I'm sure I will, it just might take a little longer to get into the swing of things again.
Work is awesome stuff. Being the SAM of CS for OACL under the OIT for BYU (Student Assistant Manager of Customer Service for the Open Access Computer Labs under the Office of Information Technologies for Brigham Young University) is fun. It is also a mouthful, which is unrepresentative of the chillness and relatively easiness of the job itself. So far, I've redesigned a screensaver, put together a report on some of our usage stats, and prepared for and presented at some orientation meetings. Plus I put a coworkers phone in an airvent thing (you couldn't hear it ring when it was in the ceiling).
So that is pretty much all that is new in my life. I love ya all!

I promised I would post the cute pictures from the shoot, so here there you go!
8:05 PM
This was sooooo funny. That last picture with the kids was the first picture of the shoot. Eliza clocked Lisa with a hard sippy cup. I'll post the cute pictures of the Bowman kids soon. They are adorable kids. Even grumpy they are cute! (and they were happy before and after the shoot.....)
3:15 PM
Joseph dumped me.
=)
the end.
that's for you Lisa!

4th of July was a fun fun day!Maddie is growing up into a beautiful little tiny lady. She was born to be in front of the camera.
Kirtlan is a great slip-n-slider
Chad and Kimball (I think) on the waterslide

that baby loves chips :)
We played in the sprinklers and Cannon got a face full of water, but no tears.
Kimball looks so happy in the picture below. I love it!
That's me and Kimball! Cute kid!
The day started with Kimball crawling onto the couch where I was sleeping. I cuddled up close to him, and Kirtlan soon joined us at my feet. Maddie wanted in, so i put Kimball on top of me, and let Maddie cuddle close. Cannon came down, and realizing he didn't have a spot...tempted Kimball into the kitchen with some toys. He then crawled up to replace Kimball. Soon they started to get up (apparently I'm no fun when I'm half asleep). So, when Christian came down there was plenty of room. I pulled him up, and he gave me some HUGE hugs and just laid his head down on me. (You must understand, the day before, he wouldn't let me hold him the first 30 minutes I was there).
Then, Shelly yelled down, 20 minutes until the parade. I hopped up, we hopped into the car and saw the parade under a beautifully cloudy sky.
The afternoon was playing outside and eating lunch. Then we watched patriotic cartoons (aka, I fell asleep on the love sac).
Later that evening, we ran through sprinklers at Grandma and Grandpa Morris', ate lots of yummy food, went on the slip'n'slide, (I snuck in some homework) and had s'mores on a fire in their backyard. We ended the day by watching fireworks. Cannon crawled into Grandma Morris' lap saying, "I'm just going to take a nap, okay?". Maddie signed to me "You're beautiful" and Kirtlan requested that "the adults say oooo and ahhhh" more.
It was a happy 4th. I, like all of you, feel so blessed to live in a free land where we are able to find joy and happiness in our family and our faith.
Love you all! and God Bless America!

The Morris Family just got back from the happiest place on earth and here's a couple of pictures to prove it.

Taking an idea from Briana I asked my kids a couple of questions today. The answers were kind of telling.
9. What does your mom do when you're not around?
M: Clean
K: Clean, take care of my other brothers and sisters
C: I think she does nothing (yep, when not in your presence everyone else ceases to exist)
Kim: Clean
10. If your dad becomes famous, what will it be for?
M: he’s good at working
K: Basketball player
C: nothing, boys don’t become famous
Kim: a king
1. What is something dad always says to you?
M: M:Shut the door.
K: You’re so awesome.
C: Cannon!
Kim: Go potty!
4. How does your dad make you laugh?
M: makes funny noises
K: He tickles me
C: He doesn’t make me laugh
Kim: Chicken crosses the road to the alligator
7. How tall is your mom?
M: Can I have a measuring tape? I’ll get a shoe... 8 ¼ of Maddie’s shoes.
K: About 12 feet
C: 60 inches
Kim:17
12. What is your mom not very good at?
M: Sometimes she puts the wrong milk in our food.

19. How are you and your dad different?
M: Daddy cleans a lot.

C: Because daddy is older than me
Kim: Dad has glasses and I don’t

You all already know that but I thought it was worth posting on the family blog. We will be getting married in the Manti Temple on August 15th at 11:15 AM. They would ask the family to be seated by 10:45. We are planning on booking a cultural hall to stuff all the kids in. We are also hoping to have a easy luncheon right after in Manti. Needless to say I am pretty excited and happy. Thanks for all your support.

Because you planted the seeds long ago...
...you are now seeing the fruits of your labor.
We love you!

OK Kimmie, here goes.....
Christian walks around everywhere and just recently began going down the stairs safely.
Cannon likes to snuggle with his mom and punch people on the Wii
Kimball knows his name has two L's in it and is still fascinated with that fact.
Maddie is practicing really hard for High School Musical 2 and is the youngest member of the cast
Kirtlan loves being out of school and constantly shows me how well he did on his report card.
Shelly is going crazy trying to play catch-up on an ill-planned musical production, maybe buy an investment property in Provo, get ready for a trip to disneyland, and a trip to D.C. and be the fun mom this summer.
Chad is changing jobs today. He's not gonna teach for a couple of years so that he can write full-time for the church. He's a little nervous as he doesn't know exactly what to expect. Plus he has to plan for 2 EFY's, summer trips for his Young Men, and how to be the coolest bald dad on the block (and there is some competition)
Expect no blog posts from us until after Disneyland, when we will have a bunch of pictures to post.
7:00 PM
WE LOVE YOU!
but you guys never post these days! We understand your busy, so I will make a post for you:
MORRIS UPDATE
Kirtlan just became the youngest graduate of John Hopkins University. He will be attending medical school with uncle Johnny in OK. Maddie grew the biggest tomato in all of Davis county and won the blue ribbon at the fair. The tomato was pink. The twins built a bridge over the street, so they don't have to hold mom's hand while crossing. Now they are working on plans for a bridge to Hawaii. Christian is learning new words. For some reason, all of his words are Korean, but he's learning none the less.
Chad and Shelly are doing fine, enjoying the crazy life of five kids and three dogs. Oh yeah, they bought some new puppies last week. And some chickens. However, half of their chickens have been eaten by the dogs. They are currently saving to buy a separate cage for the dogs and the remaining chickens.
I hope that was accurate. Love ya all!
