What we've been up to:

We have had a very busy last six months. Jeff just recently got a promotion at work (yeh Jeff). I have been working on my photography...still a work in progress. And we continue to cook Gluten Free for Carter-man.

Here is a look at a few things that we have been doing:

We started Geocaching!!! It is a great way to spend quality time with your family and friends. We have really enjoyed going on our "Treasure Hunts"

See...Tucker just found one in this picture

Jeff and I enjoy it too. We found a Travel Bug in one of our caches.

We went to a parade with a bunch of our friends

And would you believe (my baby) Tucker graduated KINDERGARTEN!!!!

We have been spending lots of time outside enjoying our backyard and sprinkler...

And Tucker learned how to swim like a pro in our new pool!!!

Thanks for not giving up on me ever posting on this blog ever again. I'M BACK!!! Next up...Rivah Pictures!

?

I think I am back to blogging. I apologize for being gone for so long. The Morris family has been very busy. I am so sad that my last post was Christmas. So, I will work on pictures for a recap of the last 6 months, then post river pictures from our vacation.

I hope at least someone hasn't given up on me and will check my blog...

Love, Me

CHRISTMAS IS GONE

It's been awhile. AGAIN!!! My family came up to visit the day after Christmas. We had such a great time. We always do when they are here. We also gain about 10lbs from all of the food we consume. Ted's, Dinosaur BBQ, Thai, Pizza, and wings. We just have to give them the complete Buffalo dining experience every time they are here. Here are some pictures of their visit!

Carter is checking out our newest family member...


Meet BoBo!


He loves going in his ball and run around the living room!





Here is the whole family and Courtney on Sesame Street at the Strong Museum of Play


Carter shopping at Mini-Wegmans


Tucker and Courtney did a News Broadcast while we where there


Would you believe this is made out of Legos!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Okay, so I had a few extra minutes before work. Here are some Christmas morning shots:

Evidence that Santa Claus had been here





Tucker is opening his big present...what could it be?


It's the TV he asked for! He is so excited. And it is already hooked up in his room with the Wii!





Carter can't wait until the snow is gone so he can ride his new bike!


Mommy and Riley snuggling on Christmas Morning!


Anything Thomas is always a hit with Carter.


Tucker remembered that Santa brings stocking stuffers too!


Movies to watch on his new TV


Carter looooves his trains!

That's it for now. Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family!

CHRISTMAS EVE

Last night was our annual Christmas Eve Open House at the Morris House. Every year the whole family comes in and out for hours on end to eat good food, exchange gifts, and take the time to catch up with each other after another busy year. This has been going on for as long as Jeff can remember, things have changed a bit of course. He is no longer one of the kids running around on a sugar high. It is his children, nieces, nephews, and cousins that he is chasing after. We had a wonderful time last night. The only thing that would have made it complete would've been to have my family with me.

Uncle Marc showing Gage how to build paper airplanes with Poppy on his lap!


This little beauty is Layla one of the cousin's little girls.


Colleen made it home for the holidays to see the family. We sure do miss her!!!!


My nephew Sidney quietly playing.


Tucker just loooooves babies. This is our newest nephew Louis Scott.



The only evidence that I was there. Landon and I hamming it up!


Amelia and Melynda playing together.


Aunt Amanda the Librarian is reading to Amelia and Poppy.

Anaya and Ronwan


And Jeff even let me snap a photo of him tonight!

Christmas morning was a blast. But I do have to work tonight...so pictures of today will have to wait until tomorrow!

O' CHRISTMAS TREE O' CHRISTMAS TREE!

So we have finally finished decorating for Christmas. The stockings are up, the candles in the windows, and tonight we decorated the Christmas Tree.

This is Parker and Grace's ornament that was given to us at one of our Christmas Memorials. I couldn't have come up with any better saying if I tried.


Our tree!


Can you guess whats coming?


Jeff surprised me and dug out my Dad's old train. He has been working on it for a couple of weeks. So we set it up under the tree last night. Here are a couple of shots.











Tucker loved decorating his own tree in his room.
