Our Hero

He is going to kill me when he sees this.

Michael is the officer all in blue. He was awarded A 

Life Saving Award at the D-Backs game.  

It was fun to see him in head to toe uniform...we

don't get to see that very often.

We enjoyed being by ourselves for a night.

We didn't stay to long into the game. We decided

a nice quite dinner was on the agenda!

Happy 4th Birthday Brody!

Brody is a very happy little boy! He is gentle and

sensitive by nature. He is always very eager to

help especially when it is with the younger kids in

the family. He love to go to Auntie Juju's house

because they have "All" the animals. He loves animals

and especially loved seeing her new baby horse. He

gets along with just about everybody and is happy

to compromise. He is a joy in our lives.

We love you Brody!

 He loves his cousin Dallas...she is his "Best Friend"

For his Big Birthday Event he got to take Dallas to

Build A Bear with him. They had a blast.

Then we took them out tolunch at Red Robin!!!

Weston and Reis came too.

It was such a nice way to spend his specail day with him!

For his Family Party he wanted a Race Car Party!

We had fun with race car tattoos!

Brody has never had his own bike. He always got

 Weston's old ones. We figured it was time for him to have

one of his very own. He loved this Hot Wheels Racing bike!

When we began singing Happy Birthday Reisy

folded her arms...too cute.

"Take My Picture Mama"

After I do Reisy's hair, I make a bog deal about how good

she did and I tell her how beautiful she is. When she saw what I

had done she gasp and said, "Take my Picture Mama!"

I usually tell her, "You did a good job...thank you."

She loved the flowers and when I was done...she said

"You did a good job...Thank you!"

Aaww, How I enjoy moments like those!!!

California!!!

We took a few days and went to CA.

Reis got a little board, so I gave her some of my makeup

to play with. She had fun putting it on Weston...

And herself. She did a pretty good job too!

The boys had fun looking for sea shells.

Reis had a blast. It was a real treat

watching her be such a big girl.

The water was a little cold for Brody.

Weston had a good time!! He came back the

tannest one of all...he has Richard's skin.

Lucky Duck!

We had fun just being together. We rented bikes and went for a

2 hour bike ride down the board walk. We got ice cream and

ate at a little pizza joint. I love taking time out to just focus on our

little family. I am remind during these times exactly

how much I love the man I married and what a great team we make!

There was a smudge on the camera so all my pictures are

a little blurry..boo hoo hoo. ( AAAHHH the kids!)

Fun In The Sun!

Play Time!!!

Weston & Brayden playing "Knights and Castles"!

Weston playing "Chef"!

Brody's found hiding during Hide and Seek!

It is nice to be home to be able to see my

kids play with all their cousins.

The games they come up with are pretty amazing.

Grow Hair... Grow!

So I actually got her to sit still for this!

Now if I could convince her to leave it in.

Para Siempre!

Life is so rich and so sweet. It is those unforeseen

moments/experience that make you realize how

deeply you love someone. I am grateful for

those moments. Although through the moment I

 can't say that; afterwards when the storm dies

 and all is okay...I AM thankful. I am grateful to

be married to a man who loves and adores me as

 much as I do him. My High school Sweet Heart,

My "True Love", My Best Friend. Thanks for

choosing me Rich...thanks!

To My Sweet Sweet Sarah

I know how brave you are! I am so excited for you and your awaiting adventures! You "the baby" are the first to travel so far from the nest. You are everything I hope to be one day and although I will miss you; I am so happy for you to experience life out there in "The Great Some Where." I know my own small adventure helped me learn to trust the Lord more, love my husband deeper and focus more fully on my little ones. I pray you too will find your inner strength. The strength in you that allows your testimony to grow unshaken and realize who you really are. You will have days that are lonely and times that seem almost empty, but lean on the Lord and look to Greg! You are an amazing friend and I don't know how I will fill the huge void in my life without you in it. I can't lie it won't be the same, but I hope this journey you take will lead you to a more eternal road in the long run and for that I understand a little time on earth for time together as a family in the eternities. I love you as much as a Big Sister possibly can and maybe even more than that!!! It is a good thing we have cell phones cause to think of all the Morris Coding I would have to do other wise...(Ha ha ha...inside joke.) Call me... even if it Kansas Time.



To My little B! The little boy who came the very same day as Reisy...coming down to make sure she has all the protection a little girl needs. 2 brothers and a twin cousin. My kids have loved you like a "member of our team" since the moment they saw you. Be as naughty as little boys are supposed to be, but be just as sweet. I love you.

Our Lil Miss!

She is growing up so fast!

We love how huge her smile and chompers are on her tiny face!

She is going to be 2...I feel a little silly that I

get excited her hair is growing.

I'm not sleepy!!!

We did a camp out in our back yard a few weekends ago,

so Poe would be able to do his breathing treatments.

He has had a rough time adjusting to the valley air.

I convince him to stop playing and come in for a "breather."

I can tell he is getting tired.

He assured me he "wasn't sleepy"

TaeKwonDo

Tiny Tigers!!!

Weston getting a little tired

waiting for his turn!

Alright Skeeter!!!

.

Way to Go Poe!!!

The House!

The Kitchen

The Yard!!!

My what now has to be school area. I am missing

all the kitchen space the Dewey House had. I

need a table and chair set, but of course the one I

want is a little pricey

I have yet to really get the bedrooms done.

With the baby coming I want to paint the

girls room and we are getting them new

furniture. The boys need some Wallies

and The house needs more paint. I just can't

do the white walls much longer...temporary or not.
