Morris Family Reunion 2012

Ok, so what can I say.  I have the coolest family ever.  We have so much fun when we can finally get together.  So there are 5 siblings in my mom's family and they were all there.  Plus a lot of their kids {my cousins} and a whole bunch of their kids.  Lets see how well I can do. {Actually it would take me a long time to try and name everyone.  You can go to Morris Family Reunion 2012 page on Facebook to see everyone} I think 15 out of 22 grandkids were there.

Good Helper Ethan!

Thank You Cynthia for all the laughs! Nothing like a gorgeous blonde wig at our Family Reunion. 

 

 

This crazy bunch started all the craziness.  We love it!

Unwrap the tape ball of goodies game.  It provided a little bit of entertainment for this crowd.

Could have done this for many more hours.  So sad to have to say good-bye!

 

The girls - LOVE THEM ALL!!!

Rachel got stung by a bee.  She is a trooper.

My beautiful KIDS!

Love how into geneology my family is.

 My beautiful future Sister-in-law Madelyn!

G&G Cannon took us to DISNEYLAND

Grandma and Grandpa Cannon took us, Ryan and Madelyn to Disneyland.  The weather was perfect, it wasn't too crowded and we all enjoyed each other.  Mom and Dad did go a little at their own pace and direction.  We tried to meet up for the light show at California Adventure that night, but Grandpa had to take Grandma home because her leg had gotten really infected.  They ended up in the ER later that night.  My mom was so excited to be there and was afraid that this would be the last time she would be able to come.  I just wish she would let us push her around in a wheelchair.  But so glad that we were able to go with them. 

Another bonus was that we were able to spend time with our future Aunt or Sister-in-Law Madelyn.  We found out that the girls were going to be flower girls, that I would be a very old bridesmaid and would also be making the cake.  So excited.

 

Independence Day 2012

We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Cannon with us this year for the 4th of July. Grandpa woke up and went Ethan and I to help the Scouts and YW set up flags as part of a fundraiser we just started. For a small donation you get a flag in your yard for 6 patriotic holidays.

What a Deal!!!!! and Oh how Beautiful it is to see these flags line the streets!!!!!

 

Looks like Jacob's head is on fire!

 

Our neighbors across the street joined us also.  Their little boy, Arav, is a few months younger than Jacob, but they will be buddies soon.

 

 The youth at work.

 

Way to come out and support Lindsey and Maranda!  You girls are firecrackers!!! (hehehe)

 

Our own personal firework show!  It was fun, but not quite as fun or big as the neighborhood firework shows in Texas.  Because you know, EVERYTHING IS BIG IN TEXAS!!!

 

Rachel made homemade marshmallows today.  Pretty Good Gooey Stuff!!

Surprise, Surprise! A cute picture of our baby on the 4th.

 

Our Patriotic Street!  Love it!

 

My dad is always doing something and it is always something nice for someone else.  There was some clumps of cement stuck to our sidewalk that he stopped and took the time to chisel it all off.  Thanks Dad!  It looks great!
