Celebrating Baby and Mama...

 Ok, so I said that I was going to close this blog down, but well, I lied...well, I didn't lie per se, I just thought how can I not record these awesome events? So here we are and I am sharing with you an awesome event planned by Christy to honor our sweet pregnant mama Kimberly! 

 Christy took these amazing photos of Kimberly.  Isn't she the most beautiful baby mama? 

 Love the decor!

 Hair bow station, so that baby Nette has LOTS of bows for her hair...

 Lovely Ladies!

 GG couldn't be there for the fun, but she made this beautiful dress for Annette's blessing... We can't wait for this sweet bundle of joy to join our family.  She has some Auntie's who are super excited to give her some love...  I look at all these photos and I just feel so much gratitude for this family.  I love that we are excited for each other's blessings and there to support one another in the challenging moments.  I'm grateful for such wonderful sister's in law!

Kindof Sad...

I'm kindof sad to say this, but I think it's time to retire this blog.  It seems that the easier way to keep up with us is through facebook.  I will continue to keep up with my personal family blog on in-the-family.blogspot.com, so if you want to follow the morgan and jessie clan you can do so there.  Thanks for checking in on us.  See you on facebook! 

BOWLING!!!!

We had a BLAST tonight.  Thanks Christy-girl for joining us on our bowling adventure!  You gotta love kids and bowling!  Jacks you rocked it with the high score and Em was right behind him!  Yay for fun cousin nights!~

LOVE me some good big brother time and Liam is THE BEST big brother EVER!!!

Jackson focused release...

LOVE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE!  I think this was a spare or a strike not sure, but he got lots of both all night long!

Isa B-Dazzle nice form sis!

Cole "the MAN" Williams  Yeah! 

Liam!  Love this not so little man o mine!

Silly Em!  She looks like she stepped out of 1976 today!  Sassy Chica!

Binky?  What?   Huh, I don't see a binky.  Nope Not me!

 

I Feel the Love...

Ok, let it be known that these pictures are not fantastic, nor are they artistic in any way.  I didn't frame anything, they are just plain real... Our family at it's best...

We're all cuddled together in a wonderful, full of love and laughter kind of chaos and I wouldn't change a thing! 

I loved that all the cousins had to figure out a way to sit next to each other even if it meant you were super squished...

The present exchange this year was extra special.  I think everyone really put their heart into it.  I felt like each gift, was more than just dropping into a store to pick something out, but there was a lot of thought and love and creativity put into each gift.  Time was spent and I felt like everyone felt the love.

I love the circles.  Kids in the center parents on the outskirts, but no one left out...

                                                           Gotta love some Captain America!

                                        Isa making sure Marley sees Justin Beiber's face on her pretty...

                                      
                              I loved Cole's look of disbelief here.  800 legos?  That's AWESOME!

                               Cousins and best friends... seriously we are so blessed! 

I didn't get any of the adult gift exchange, but I was just thinking of all the gifts.  I wish I had gotten Quinn's reaction to his gift.  I love that there is laughter in our lives.  I love that even when things are super tough and we find ourselves under massive amounts of pressure, we still can laugh till we cry, find good things to focus on and encourage one another to hold on just a little bit longer.  I couldn't ask for better people to spend this life and the next with.  I don't even have the words to express the love I feel for this family, so I'll just say this.  I love you all and I pray that this year will be amazing!

Random photos from our visit.

We had the best visit with GG and PoPS. I won't dwell on the details because the pictures say it all. I must say we are a pretty good looking troop of people. I am so blessed! I loved our girls day and the time spent talking and laughing... did I say I was done... Ok enjoy the cheesy, sweet and loving family photos...

Happy Anniversary Nate and Mandy!

I felt gratitude for all of my family. I'm grateful for the gg date with the girls. It was the BEST!! Movie Schmoovie. I'd much rather spend time chatting and enjoying each others company. I loved it! I'm grateful for the extra cousin time. Dare I say it... Maybe Nic and Christy are right and family dinner should come more than twice a year. hee hee.. It's been wonderful. I'm grateful for the amazing people in this family and I just wanted you all to know it. Thanks Pops for always taking such great care of us and always being there with a hug and a tender look.
