SWISS CHRISTMAS!

Hi there. If anyone still checks this blog every once in a while then I'm here to tell you that I will be at Swiss Christmas this weekend! What is Swiss Christmas? Well it is in Midway at their town hall. They have craft and food booths, a creche exhibit in the neighboring church and also gingerbread houses. Oh and they have ice skating! It is this Friday and Saturday in Midway. Check out midwaychristmas.com for more info!

I promise after this weekend I will actually update our blog with pictures of birthdays, Hawaii, etc!

Syd's Birthday Present

Sydney wanted her ears pierced for her birthday. So what does a good dad do?

SWISS DAYS!

SMILE ...

How can you resist? :)

Mother's Day

So Mother's Day this year was great. Bob and the kids got me some new clothes and we had a great day visiting family. The kids sang in Sacrament meeting and even Will got up there. I was so proud of him since he didn't want to go at first. He finally went up when we showed him his other friends were up there too. Sydney helped him to the front row and I was so proud to see him singing up there. His mouth was moving and he was actually singing. When he got back to the bench I told him what a great job he did singing up there. His reply? "Yeah, I was singing the Cars song". Happy Mother's Day!

I just thought I would share a picture of my mother with all of you since most of you have never met or seen her since she died 20 years ago this year. She was quite the amazing woman and mother and we miss her.

Check out my Etsy Shop

I have been meaning to set up an Etsy shop for some time but just finally got it done. Click on the Abby Cove link at the right and tell me what you think.


p.s. All the "real" photos (the nice looking ones with the kids) were done by Brett Rowe. Thanks Brett! (don't be too critical of my own pics--I need practice)

Family Reunions

Chantal's family has asked us to plan the next Morley family reunion. As I have searched the web I realize that this is going to be a daunting task. In order to brainstorm I have started another blog to ask for your help. Please take a moment and share your experiences and ideas with us as we try to figure out what we are going to do. Thanks for taking time to read our ramblings.

October

In October we finally celebrated Sydney's 6th Birthday. It was supposed to be in September but with Drew coming it kind of got put on hold. We did a puppy adoption party and it turned out pretty cute. Here they are with their puppies. I can't believe Sydney is already 6! Time has gone by so fast.

My sleeping boys and Sydney
Sydney decorated this pumpkin to put on Sadie's grave and she had to have a picture of it with Drew

Drew in his monster jammiesSydney loves to hold Drew

Sydney's Ariel pumpkin
Bob's Captain Jack Sparrow pumpkinCandy, candy, candy. Sydney was a witch and Wil was a skeleton. Drew had a cute ghost bib but of course I didn't get a picture of that since we are not the greatest at remembering to take pictures.

Can you believe it? Three posts in one week! Check back soon and maybe we will catch up to February before it's over (yeah right, ha ha)

Just a little funny

I have to put this down before I forget.

So Sydney and I were talking in the car the other day and she was listing, in order, who she loved.

Sydney: I love Drew and then Daddy then Mommy and then Wil.

Me: Why can't Daddy and I be equal?

Syd: Sorry ...But if you are gooder and do what I say then maybe you can move up!

I guess I need to be a gooder mom and then Bob and I can be equal!

September

It's been a while since we posted. Just busy with the three kidlets so now I have to go back and catch up a bit I guess. So we are starting with September! So here's a few more pictures from September to share.



Sydney played soccer (sort of) again!
