Jack is ONE!

Jack turned one on Saturday.. the 20th!  A year has already gone by so quickly? He is crawling around everywhere, taking a few steps here and there and is as happy as can be.  Here are some pictures of his birthday party. - Enjoy

Reindeer Cupcakes... Mmmm

Madi's class had their "Holiday Party" at school on Friday so we decided that we would get a few friends together and bake!  We did just that. Had  a great time, had a few glasses of wine and I would have to say that our Reindeer Cupcakes turned out pretty darn cute.  The kids played a game that consists of donuts on a string, your hands behind your back and the first one to get the donut off the string without using your hands, wins! Madi came out of the gates looking like a little guppy! Her mouth was open, her hands behind her back and when Ms. Heim said go.. she did just that! She came up, mouth over that donut and shut down within seconds!  Too funny! 

With Birthdays, Christmas Parties and getting ready for Santa to come, things have been very busy around the house for us.  I wanted to post these pictures of Jack and his new "hot rod car". We were going to give it to him for his birthday this weekend but thought, what the heck, he wont know the difference between now and Saturday.  We cant keep him out!  He has to be in it just sitting, wants you to push him or he wants to push it himself.  It is hard to believe that a year has already come and gone.. Jack will be 1 on Saturday... Enjoy every minute with friends and family. 

Where's your tongue?

Jumping/Wresteling in Leaves!!

A Fun.. Fun... Weekend!

It was what you would call a "Girls & Kids" (at one time we had 11 kids there!) weekend at the Morris house! Karl was very fortunate to go to Pittsburg with Lance to visit his family and go to the Steelers/Cowboys game.  It was unfortunate that the Cowboys didn't win and Romo had to throw that interception.. but what can you do?  Karl said that he had never been so cold in his life as he was sitting watching the game.. Really? Because it was below 20 degrees!!! His toes and fingers were frozen.. Meanwhile we were at the house staying warm and enjoying every minute of it.. So.. here are some pictures from this weekend.. Ready? Set? Play? and we ALL Did! 

Thanksgiving Weekend!

We are so happy to have this four day weekend!  Brooke has been staying with us while Doug is in the hospital.  Thanksgiving dinner was delicious,  everyone was stuffed and happy and we give thanks for our family & friends.  The girls were "itching" to put up the Christmas tree so Karl got everything out of the attic and ready to decorate.  Jack was napping and when he woke up he was unsure what this tall, green, poky tree was doing in his living room!  These are just some pics of the weekend and Madi having control of the camera... 100+ pictures, she said she has a new career, Photography.  I said that was a great profession and thought to myself that it will probably change 50 more times before she gets out of high school and into college.  We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.. Looking forward to Christmas- can't believe how it is right around the corner!

The beginning..

Wow.. how easy is this? We should have started this blogging thing a while back to share photos of Madi and now Jack, but we are just now "figuring it all out!" I decided to begin this blog after an inspiration and some pretty large milestones happened in the past few weeks.. Jack has taken a few steps, got his first pair of "big boy" shoes and got a hair cut.. while Madi has been excelling in gymnastics, soccer and school.  Who wouldn't want to blog about that?  So.. here they are, some pictures of Jack's first hair cut. Growing up so fast!
