THE BIG NEWS!


For some of you the big news might be that we are pregnant with our third baby. But for others, perhaps mostly family, the BIGGER news is that we are having a BOY! The Morris line will continue! There aren't many Morris boys, and Scott & I are the only hope for his immediate family because he has only sisters. Don't get us wrong, we love our girls. In fact, we aren't sure what we would actually do with a boy. Neither of us have much experience with boys. The saddest one in our family was actually Meili, who earlier the day of the ultrasound informed me that she got to choose what we would be having this time (a girl, of course!) and that I could choose the next one. So at the appointment she was a bit disappointed. But since then, has warmed up to the idea and excitedly tells everyone (and I mean everyone) that she is going to have a little brother and she randomly kisses my belly at least four times a day and talks baby talk to her little brother.
Sorry I don't have any pictures of the expanding belly; I seem to elude the camera a bit when I am pregnant. Though this is pretty good evidence that I am pregnant and taking lots of (drowsy) medicine to keep me away from the toilet 3-4 times a day. (A big thanks to all my friends who got me through the roughest time with their meals and outings with the girls!)

Family & "The CLAW"







We're a little slow with this, but our family hasn't yet made cameos on our blog so we are posting some pictures from our family party where we played with a CLAW machine. BTW Scott & I were the big winners, bringing home some $14 home in cash that we were able to pick up with the elusive claw. It was super sweet! And don't forget the Wii! Scott gets a pretty good workout, especially when he is playing our Bro-in-Law, Guy. It looks like I am better at just posing.
So, here's who's in the pictures, Scott's nephew Alec (and Bro-in-Law Bob in the background); Me & the WII; Scott's nieces Whitlee & Bradi; Scott & Guy with the WII; Scott's niece, Morgan, concentrating on the CLAW; & Scott & his sis Kristi.

Halloween in February?





No, we are just playing catch-up on this blog! Here are some pictures of our Halloween '07. First, the weekend before Halloween, we had our annual Doughnut party. We don't have any pics, but our cousin, Priscila has pictures on her blog (you can just click on her name in the "Our Fellow Bloggers" links).
On Halloween, the girls had fun going to story time at the Library with their cousin, Lily (the other angel). Then we went to Macey's for all the candy they were handing out! That evening our ward had a trick-or-treat party at one of the apartment complexes. It was so fun because they still got to knock on each door (unlike the famous trunk or treat) and say "Trick or Treat!!". It was decorated so fun and there was some classic Halloween music playing. Oh, and Sophie hooked up with one of the other kids in the ward, Thatcher the Lion, and held his hand (a little young, don't you think?). It was the most fun I have had for Halloween since I was a kid. That is the beauty of having children-you get to relive your own childhood. Meili said it perfectly at the end of the day; that it was "The best Halloween ever!"
