Handsome is Home!

My cutest little brother (I only have one brother, so he is definitely the cutest) is home from his mission. We picked him up at the Salt Lake airport just 45 minutes after I flew home from Denver. It was totally cool because I didn't check anything so I could greet him at the gate.

It was really fun to be at the gate, you can't do that anymore. He's even more handsome when he left. And talk about the nicest guy ever. We are all glad he is home and safe and served such a great mission in Paris, France.

Here is a quick candid of the whole family, all 27 of us, with a few on the way. Yeah for great families. By the way...if you look close, everyone is looking at the camera. Way to go Morgan grandkids...you rock!

Picture post #1

Well, this was supposed to be a big picture post....but due to technical difficulties, and lack of time (can't sit on the computer all day), I will have to finish with more pictures another time. Here are a few of our Christmas tree decorating and the first snow fall of the year for us.

Daddy and Kya hung the star together. She got a kick out of that. Of course she had just enjoyed our FHE treat, so its all over her face.

Getting ready to go outside. We had our first snow fall, the very next morning after getting Kya a snow suit for the year. We thought of it being a Christmas gift. But when the snow in Twin Falls is so unpredictable, we decided not to wait. We have since added about 4-6 inches since the first few.





Kya spent most of her time picking up all the sticks in the backyard. What a funny girl.
Our little marshmellow girl....A Christmas Story memory...anyone.

Picutres are a little backwards...again, technical difficulties.



Pictures that I am trying to upload....Our trip to the South Hills to see the lights, Kya helping mommy decorate the other tree, visit to Grandma W's for family Christmas party, and Kya being silly, oh, and of course our biggest news this weekend....My brother is home from his mission.

I will try again later to post more pics. Enjoy these for now!

Denver update

I just got back from the doctor's appointment.  T is so great.  In her words....she "cooked up a little surprise" for me and called ahead to her doctor and asked if they would do a quick ultrasound so I could see the baby while I was here.  sniff sniff  

I heard the heartbeat, and saw his heart beating beautifully.  We saw him breath, and his beautiful head (its down, yeah).  We saw parts, but nothing really clear.  It was so great to see that.  T, you rock!  Heartbeats are in the 140's and she is 32 weeks.  What a great day!

Denver and REALLY missing my family

Just a quick journaling....in Denver.  Really enjoying my time with baby #2's birthparents and the freezing cold weather (not), but super emotional.  We watched a movie today that makes me cry ALL THE TIME, so of course the waterworks were running wild.  Then I called Kya and Carl.  I MISS THEM SOOOOOOO MUCH.  Carl, I love you so much and I am so grateful I have you and Kya in my life.  Kya is having so much fun, and very busy, with Grandma and Grandpa Weeks.  

Tomorrow, we go to the doctor for T's 31 week appointment.  Crazy how close we are!  I just love her so much, she has been so fun to hang out with.  We have really been able to talk and be open and honest with each other....I love that.  

We are so blessed by our angels (birthmoms, we call them our angels) and their honorable, heroic and unconditional decisions.  Ok, enough wishy washy stuff, I am emotional....its a good thing.

Happy Holidays!

Ok, I know this is completely lame of me, but I am not going to be able to get Christmas cards out this year....so consider this your card from us. Just because my Holiday greetings is lame and impersonal, doesn't mean I don't love all my friends and family and we wish you all a happy and healthy Holiday season and New Year!


This is my last post as public. As I am working on going private as soon as I post this. My next post will be an update of all that we have been up to and picture overload. Thanks to all who read. I love being in touch with so many friends.

Back online!

Ok, so I have the internet now, but no time to post. Spent thanksgiving with family here, just a couple days after finishing unpacking the house. Decorated last week for Christmas, then headed out of town for the Smith Family Christmas party up in Grace, Idaho. Home now and finishing up Christmas gifts and getting ready to leave for Denver soon to spend time with baby #2 birthparents. Can't wait for that. Wahoo! Planning to go private sometime this week. Too much hustle and bustle right now....but I love every minute of it. Kya is a big help with decorating for Christmas....Loved that. Countdown from little bro to come home from mission.....10 more days. Can't wait to see him.

Big post coming....sometime.
