Brent turned 3!!! My nephew is growing so fast!!! (thanks to Uncle Steven for the pictures...Auntie forgot hers!)

A gift from Uncle Steven! ;) The sweetest thing was when Brent would search out the person that got him the gift in order to look them in the eye and say "Thank you!" Such a sweet boy!

A group event! If I am correct in saying, this was Brent's first time with all the fun rides and activities in a video game arcade. He had quite the entourage of onlookers and I believe he enjoyed every moment of it!

Good times with good friends! Brent had a lot of fun at Pietro's Pizza, there was so much to do and see!

Alice is getting so big. She can already scoot around on her tummy, pull herself up from laying to sitting, clap her hands, wave goodbye, give kisses and on and on!! It never ceases to amaze me how much they can learn at such a young age!

Mmmmmm, yummy hair!

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Nephew, BRENT, I LOVE YOU!!!

I wish I had some recent pictures to post, however, I am currently in Hillsboro and not able to upload any pictures!! I will, again one day, post on a semi-regular basis!

Brent Update

Brent flying high!! He had a BLAST...though it made others a little nervous. The middle picture looks as if Brent is being handed down from heaven. ;) Or taken up and Dad is having a hard time letting go.

Uncle Steven, Dad and Brent. Uncle Steven dropped by for a visit while the Daniel Morris Family was enjoying a vacation at the beach!

Brent is happiest when he is around any kind of truck or utility vehicle! Especially the big ones!

When ever I need a good laugh I can always count on my nephew to give it to me! He has the funniest disposition and cracks us up with even the smallest of comments. He is a boy of few words but, he KNOWS how to get his point across. However, if there happens to be a time when no one is listening to him he has figured a way to GET the attention in order to get his point across. In the first video I am trying my best to get him to demonstrate but, it is with no avail. He just laughs at me!


In this video (which happened right after the previous video) he surprises me with the 'attention getting' sound and, even though it isn't as funny as when he does it nonchalantly in his own conversations, it still makes me laugh. In a typical circumstance Brent will start asking someone a question (usually that person is engaged in another conversation)and he will repeat his question a few times, once he realizes no one is listening he will throw in his little "eww-whoo" with out so much as a smile on his face, and then continue on with his question. I admit, I laughed HARD the first time he did it, oh wait, I still laugh hard, but, I do realize it needs to be nipped in the bud and he needs to understand that it is disrespectful...I laugh inside though. Man he cracks me up!!

Ali Update

So precious! Alice is such a joy. She keeps us all smiling with her lovely charm. I have been praying that, lordwilling, my own children will be as lovely as her. She is a happy baby all around!



Sitting pretty...she loves to bang and kick her feet on the hardwood floor...she isn't crawling yet but she is very close to it.

<---- Ali and her tongue... just as most every baby
does, Alice has found her tongue very fascinating! She just happens to have a little flare to go with it. So cute!


Auntie Melinda with my precious little niece ---->

Ali found a game she can play! She loves the game Peek-a-Boo and we love to play it with her.

Bippity-Bippity-Bop
Hours of entertainment

<--------Kristine demonstrates and educates those that are first timers for the wonderful game of Bippity-Bippity-Bop.

Matthew does his best to make us mess up! It was a tough crowd to beat. -------------->

<----------Success! Most likely Micheal was laughing so hard he didn't even realize the finger was pointed at him! :)

We all had many hours of laughs while playing this crazy and silly game! It became a camp favorite over night! Thanks to Kristine for the idea and for teaching it to everyone! :)

The Joys of Camping in the Rain

<-------Pastor Custis throwing the frisbee with skill!!!

During some down time Mrs. Injerd and I taught some of the girls the fun game of cats cradle ---------->

The food was excellent, though we were cold and wet, a majority of the time, we certainly did not go hungry! Thank you Mom for improving the meals from canned to homemade!

<------Kristine enjoying her 'quite time' inside a dry tent!

Me peeking in to say hello ----->

A few pictures to show you the wonderful job done in covering our main campsite. The faithful members of our crew had JUST taken the other tarps down in order to put new ones up and cover more area when the torrential down pour hit!!! Unfortunately, they were left alone (about this this time all of us had JUST made it to the top of the hill. A 2 mile ride just to get out of the campground) to create a 'ceiling' out of tarps, ropes and trees; not necessarily grown in the 'perfect' place, in order for us to have shelter from the rain during our meals and the teaching. Needless to say, they rose to the challenge!!

The Beginnings of a War

After playing one round of Ultimate Football (girls vs. guys) we got a little cocky when we beat the guys to the first down. It didn't take the guys long to get with it and come back and beat us from then on. In fact, they started to get bored so they decided to handicap themselves to make it more challenging and give us a little hope in winning again. The hope faded quickly as we were put to shame over and over again. It wasn't until they decided to tie their shoes together that we took drastic measures and ran and pushed them down...yes, it was one of our lowest moments, but, also pretty darn funny!!

Mr. & Mrs. Hill getting ready! They both have such wonderful servants hearts!! Thank you so much for ALL the work you did to make this trip happen!

Kristine and I get ready to go on our first Bike Trip ride ever! :)

The one and only day with out all the tarps. You will see this area transform a few times as I post more and more pictures! Thanks again to our wonderful crew!! They certainly worked hard that week...and in the rain nonetheless!!

After our first ride (Trinity to McGiver)
Playing an intense game of Skip-Bo. I had such a great time with everyone. The Lord has truly blessed us with some wonderful friends.

Charlotte, Breana, Kristine, Kait and Ellen

enjoying the one and only dry day on the hammock!

Bike Trip 2007

A year of new traditions and making history!

Let the fun begin!! All the bikers leaving Trinity Bible Church!

On our way to adventures unknown at the time! Let's just say we didn't arrive back at camp this dry!

The Crew...They were the backbone during the whole week! Thank you all!!

Our last day of camp! We survived

More pictures of the highlights to come!!

Hello, hello!! We are back from the Hillcrest/Trinity Bike trip and despite the pouring down rain we all had a wonderful time together! What a wonderful way to see the Lord's provisions first hand. :) I will post and comment more about the bike trip as soon as a dear friend of mine sends me some pictures...I opted out on taking my camera, I figured there would be plenty there.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my nieces and nephew down in California! They are getting so big. Such a beautiful family. I miss you all very much!

Marybeth (7 years), Aedan (19 months) and Madeleine (8 months)

A few pictures

to go on my neglected blog!! Sorry, to all those that have been checking out the Morris Family blog and have been disappointed to find nothing new going on in our lives! ;) In fact it has been just the opposite. We have all been busy however, as the official blog owner I have not been able to keep up with updates as I have hoped to, due to the fact that I am away from the Internet during the week and my weekends go TOO fast. Anyway, for those that don't know, I have acquired a nanny position once again. This one is temporary until, Lord willing, the mother is able to find a new nanny to fill in. I am just helping her out until she can find someone else. So, I have been living in Hillsboro, OR with a sweet little lady and commuting all of 3 mins to work 5 days a week.

I will try and take some updated pictures of our family...but no promise it will be soon. Until, then here are a few of Brent that I thought were pretty darn cute.

May the Lord bless you all!

The Herbert Morris Family grows and grows!

The Morris Family Reunion

minus a few family members! :(

We had a great time visiting and taking family pictures together (Family pictures to come later.) It was neat seeing the 2nd cousins play together. Brent adores both Addison and Gage and they enjoying playing with him. Both Gage and Addi LOVE to hold baby Ali too!! It is very sweet!

*Above we have the 4 generations together at last!! It's wonderful to see our family growing. *

Papa, Grammy and baby Ali finally meet! My Grandparents absolutely adore their great-grandchildren and as you can see Ali was pretty fond of them as well!! We had a wonderful visit with them while they were here for their week long visit!
