New Pictures!

Today I decided to add some new pictures to the blog since it's been quite awhile since I last updated them. Nothing very exciting has happened in the last couple weeks but we do have a lot of exciting stuff happening in the next few weeks! First, our new addition will be arriving soon (hopefully because I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore!) Second, Maddison's fifth birthday is this Sunday (where did the last 5 years go to?!) and Third, my little sister Hannah is getting married to the love of her life in the Salt Lake Temple next Friday! We are so excited to welcome both new arrivals to our family and I cannot believe that my baby is already 5! I remember the day she was born :). On a lesser front, Maddison and Logan are starting swimming lessons on Monday and they are so excited! We have been going to the kiddie pool a few times a week for the last week or so and it has been fun! The kids love the water and I can't hardly get them out of the pool when its time to leave :). Travis has applied for a job at the Cassia County Sherrif's Office and he has his test next Thursday so we've been really excited about that! We are really hoping and praying that he gets it because it would be a great change and experience for our whole family!

UPDATE!

It has been over a year since I last posted and so a lot has happened in that year! Since last May: Maddison had a birthday in July and turned 4, Logan had a birthday in September and turned 2, both Maddison and Logan started swimming lessons last year and loved it! They both learned a lot and so I am going to put them in lessons again this year. I started my second to last semester of college in August 2010, and in November of 2010 we found out I was pregnant again. This baby will be number 4 and will (hopefully) complete our wonderful little family since we found out we are having another little girl! Christmas passed as usual with tons of money spent and happy kiddos at the end of the day. I really don't know what will happen when they start wanting things like cell phones and ipods! The New Year came and now it is 2011. Bryson's birthday was in February and my sweet little boy turned 1! He is quite the mama's boy and loves to be snuggled. I don't know how he will react when this baby gets here :). We have decided to name this baby Raegan Hadley Morrell and we are excited about her getting here soon! My sister is getting married in July right about the time the baby will be here so unfortunately I won't be able to attend the wedding :(. Bryson started walking about a month ago and he is getting a lot better at it every day. We are coming up on Maddison's birthday again this year and she will be turning 5! My how time flies, I remember the day we brought her home from the hospital :). In May I graduated from the College of Southern Idaho with a degree in Hospitality Management and now for the forseeable future, I plan to stay home with the kids and raise them. Travis is still pursuing a career in law enforcement and he also works at the fire department as well as Franklin Building Supply. I sure am proud of him and I love him so much! At the end of July we will be celebrating our 6 year anniversary! I am so thankful every day that I was able to marry my best friend and that I will be with him forever! That is basically everything I can remember so hopefully I haven't forgotten anything important! I will be better about posting now that I have a little extra time on my hands :)

Springtime . . . still waiting!

Again it's been quite a long time since I've been on to update our blog! A lot has happened since January 7th considering it has been 4 months :) To start with, Bryson Jerry-Rulon Morrell arrived on February 23, 2010, about 2 1/2 weeks before his scheduled due date! Luckily for me, all three of my kids have decided to come earlier than their due dates so that makes it nice :). I had started the Spring semester of school and as I progressed, my doctor told me I couldn't go to class anymore because the baby could come at any time. Well I didn't have to wait long because he told me that on a Thursday and the baby came the following Tuesday! Bryson is now a little over 3 months old and he is growing up too fast already! I stayed home from school for 4 weeks after he was born and then I went back. It was pretty crazy for the rest of the semester but luckily, school is over now so I get to stay home and enjoy my kids! Maddison and Logan adjusted relatively well to our new addition so that's good! My birthday was 3 weeks ago and I turned 24! It is hard to believe that I graduated high school 6 years ago now! Anyway, Maddy and Logan are also getting big too fast. Maddison started preschool the first of April and already she has learned so much that I just stare at her in amazement sometimes! Logan is now running everywhere and he is starting to speak quite clearly, at least I can understand him sometimes :)! Travis is working 4 jobs right now but hoping to get hired at the Sheriff's department soon so that will mean that he can quit a couple of the jobs! lol! Travis is an amazing husband and father and I am so glad he is mine! We are hoping to fix up our house this summer so we can get it put on the market, as we have found out, the more kids you have the more room you need! lol Well hopefully it won't take me such a long time to remember to update our blog next time!

Update!

It has been quite awhile since our last post! Not a whole lot has changed. Maddy was Snow White for Halloween and Logan was a bear! They had a really fun time trick-or-treating around our neighborhood! The holidays came and went and they were really fun! Thanksgiving was a big event as well. We travelled to Twin Falls and spent the day at Travis' aunt's house. Travis and I had my whole family over for Christmas which included opening presents and dinner! It was so much fun since my siblings and I haven't spent a Christmas with my dad for almost 10 years! My brother's baby was born the end of August and she is a cutie! She looks so much like the Spear side that it is funny, lol! Logan is now walking like a pro and I love whoever invented baby gates! Travis and I received our endowments and were sealed in the temple the first part of December and we were also able to attend my sister's wedding at the Logan temple on December 19th! It was an amazing experience and I'm so glad we were able to finally do it! :) Our newest additon to the family is due arrive on March 13th but at a recent doctor's visit I was told that since Maddy and Logan both came early this one will most likely come early too! So we're planning on the end of February. We are also looking at new vehicles since our car will not fit three carseats in the back! Travis was laid off from his job so he is starting back to school and I am beginning another semester at the end of January! We had an eventful 2009 and hope that 2010 is eventful but maybe not as much as 2009 :) Until next time!

Lazy Day

Today is really a lazy day! So far I have washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, washed a load of laundry, made breakfast and lunch, taken a load of Logan's clothes down to storage, and emailed my homework in, but I have yet to change out of my pajamas! It's a windy day and I just don't feel like going anywhere or doing much of anything! Maddison is a bundle of energy today, as usual! Sometimes I get tired just watching her run and be cute. Logan is growing like a weed and he should be walking soon, I hope! He can now stand by himself without holding onto anyone or anything. It's nice to be able to spend a day with my husband and kids without worrying about work or appointments!

Fall is in the air!

I love this time of year when the seasons are changing! I like that its cooled down now and we can go outside without getting heat stroke! I also enjoy that I can wear long sleeves and not be horribly hot! Maddison is such a cutie, she is a handful as well! She has started throwing huge fits when she doesn't get her way but we just deal with it as it comes. This morning after I got home from work I was changing Logan and he decided to dive off of the changing table. It was very scary for me and I can only imagine how it felt for him, the poor baby! He survived the fall with a cut lip and some bruises so we were very blessed that his injuries weren't worse! He is also growing and he has such a cute personality! Logan's first birthday is coming up fast on the 28th of this month and I can't believe my little baby is almost one! We are also expecting another baby! We will find out in about 6 weeks what the sex of the baby is but I don't know yet if I want to know! :) I met my niece last week, she sure is a cutie! I think that is all that is happening with us so until next time!

Way too long!

It has been way way too long since I last blogged! A lot has been going on! Summer was fun. We did a lot and it was fun to spend time with the kids without constantly worrying about classes and appointments. Logan is crawling like a madman and about to start walking! Maddison turned three in July and she has the funnest little personality! I started school again this past Monday and it has been going fine so far! In June I found out I was pregnant again so this will be interesting having another baby during the middle of another semester since the baby is due in March 2010. Also we have to get a bigger vehicle and I don't even know how we'll manage to smash three kids into one small room but we will have to figure it out! Travis is still working hard and recently passed his POST classes so he is now certified to be a policeman! That is pretty exciting for him! Logan and Maddison also started to go to daycare since their old babysitter wasn't able to babysit anymore. I don't know how much I'm liking it since Logan is already sick and he's only been there two times! Maddison loves playing with the other kids though so I'm glad she has a fun time! I think that's everything that's been happening to us so until next time!
