Morrise Moments: Families that Play Together, Stay Together

Get ready for a long line of photos that may or may not be in order, but sometimes I just don't have time to get it exactly right. So here we go:

Sliding down the stairs with sleeping bags

Playing in the snow with dad

The Park...we love the park

Spencer's first slide ride

First successful trip to the Dinosaur Museum taking the kids myself

William

....then we had to go back with Steven because I left my drivers license...

PI day with family

Two sets of twins with the common cousin in the middle.
(our boys kind of over powered them all)

My fruit rainbow I made for a family St. Patrick's dinner

Painted our door. It's not the color I expected, but I LOVE it!

St. Patrick's Day at the Park

Spencer saw that Max had some more bread

So he took some

And enjoyed it

Jacob surprised us by getting work off early and meeting us

Love this sea of green of mine!

Jacob stick fighting Ryan

Masked Men

I just love seeing my cute crazy family!

More Park

Big sticks are always found

We had the middle three in the bath and put the babies in for a second and how could we not call Steven in for a picture! It just melts my heart!!

My sister Dorene and I met at the Hogal Zoo for their free day (along with all of Utah).

It was crazy, but really fun. The boys loved it!

2 adults and 11 kids...we got this

We had our sister-in-law and niece and nephew stay with us a couple of nights, so we took them to the curiosity museum and had an absolute blast!

Ryan

The water part was the biggest hit

William

Ryan

Spencer

Max

Steven asked Jacob to go fishing, so we decided to go to our favorite park: Glenn Park in Highland.

I really felt like I was in Heaven. My life is SO good.

Steven running away from the ducks

I LOVE this picture

We came home and Jacob decided to break down the stairs since they were practically falling apart.

The boys found worms...

After a quick nap, we then had our Roberts cousin's come over to play.

We took them to the park...of course

The next day: Sunday. I took Steven after Sacrament meeting to the Insta Care where he was diagnosed with Strep Throat. Poor kid was really hurting

These kids are so cute when they all play together

My parents stopped by for a few hours, which is always a treat.

especially when mom does some chores

and dad takes a nap.

Fun in the front yard

I was so excited because I was having a great shopping trip with no tantrums or trying to run away. I walked past a man who looked at the cart and chuckled, it was then that I noticed I had totally buried Max. He was cute though and went with it.

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

Easter morning, kids usually wake up to find baskets of candy and presents. Our kids woke up and we went on a walk to the park to look at...dead fish. But we have boys and they LOVED it.

These two didn't love it so much

Jacob showing them a dead fish on his stick

Then he threw it. I love Christopher's face

William poking at the fish

Never too young to start a love of sticks

We went to the Kimball's for lunch and the last session of conference. To keep the boys quiet we dyed eggs. (side note: William and Ryan learned how to peel hard boiled eggs and did so for the next few days all of the floor. Until we ran out then they tried it with normal eggs...a couple of times)

This past week has been Spring Break. Monday we stayed home and watched WAY too much TV, so we've tried to do at least something each day. We decided to go to each of the Thanksgiving Point venues. Tuesday we went to the Farm Country for the first time. Ryan was too scared to ride the horses, but everyone else loved it!

picture by the bunnies for dad

This peacock was awesome

And these two were troopers

William

I love this kid reading

Max started to walk behind the lion. It's only a matter of time...

Wednesday we went to the Dinosaur Museum. Luckily when we got there it wasn't too busy, it was pretty early, and the boys convinced me to skip to the end. Genius. They had a blast.

I wanted a picture of everyone, but Ryan fell backwards and in tears was sure the shark did something to him. I convinced him he just fell but I couldn't convince William. He wouldn't get near it.
