Be Thankful

I asked my kids what they were thankful for today.

Tyler said, "Jesus Christ and the whole world"

Good answer.

Jaxen said, "Pumpkins"

Also a good answer.

Madee spit up on the floor. 

Not exactly what I was looking for.

I realized that I never posted any pictures from Thanksgiving (other than the paper bag indian).

They were still waiting patiently on my memory card, to be put on the computer.

Since Tim's and my parents live nearby we usually go to both houses for Thanksgiving.

Tim's parents had a leak in their basement, so they opted out of hosting Thanksgiving, 

and invited everyone to meet them at Mimi's Cafe for dinner.

We decided to join them, even though we would be eating with my family later that day.

Madee was surprisingly good while we were there, and my boys decided they wanted pancakes instead of waiting for a turkey dinner at my parents house. 

I love Thanksgiving.

4th of July

Every year my family has a big steak barbecue for the 4th of July. But this year, since David was coming home 9 days later, they decided to postpone it until Pioneer Day. So we invited all of Tim's family over to our house for a barbecue. Surprisingly nobody had any set plans, so the whole family was there (except for two of my nephews that were at scout camp). It's not very often that the whole Morgan clan is in one place. We had a lot of fun!

Tim's parents

He looks so manly when he grills, don't you think?

Dave and Speezer

Oh yeah, remember how we don't have a yard?
We barbecued on the driveway, and had tables set up in the garage. It was awesome.

Jaxen decided that he is a big fan of his cousin, Johnny.

And he really wanted to hold Johnny's little sister. 

Kim's hamburger seemed to be missing some key ingredients. 

Glow sticks!


Grown men playing frisbee.

Pops!

I stole the boys frisbee and wouldn't give it back until they all smiled for a picture.
It's not very often that all five brothers are together.
It wasn't an easy task, but I finally got ONE picture where they were all behaving. 

And a lot of pictures of them not cooperating. 

Notice all the cars parked behind the kids?
That's the only benefit of having no grass,
our yard can double as a parking lot.

Dave, Lexy, and Johnny

Ed and his brand new baby girl.

I attempted to get a picture of my gentlemen. 

Sparklers!
(I actually hate sparklers. Somebody always gets burned. This year it was Jaxen)

Jaxen and Johnny watched the majority of the pyrotechnics from the wagon.
They clapped and cheered after every one.

I love Tyler.

Lori and Rich

When it got late, everyone changed their kiddos into PJ's and made their way home. When Tyler saw Johnny's Buzz LightYear pajamas he had to go put his own on. . . even if they are a size or two too small.

P.S. Still pregnant.
I'm scheduled to be induced on Thursday.
