Morrill Family Fun Part 2

Saturday morning we went out to breakfast, then headed home to play. When we're in Neola the boys really don't want to go anywhere, they just want to play at grandma's house!

Parker on his IPAD, Shane watching football, and the kids playing, pretty typical... Yep, that's me! On a horse, all alone. I did pretty well except for running into some trees a couple times...

Grandma taking the twins for a ride...Daddy taking the twins out for a ride on the 4-wheeler, Tyce got on later and liked it for a while but then his face got cold...Parker and his mom playing beautiful Christmas duets...
Grandma read lots of stories to the boys. She also got up with Tyce every night (he wakes up every night around 4am) and got up with Jackson the night he was throwing up. I slept right through it and she didn't come wake us up because she wanted us to sleep! I have the sweetest mother in law!!!Despite the fact that Parker was sick, he made us all dinner one night...
Sunday night Jackie, Tyler, Cole, and Kate came out! I was super excited we got to see them. They were in Oregon with Tyler's family and left a day early so they could come see us. Thanks guys!!!


Here's Tyce playing with cute Kate...Tyce wouldn't even TOUCH the horses on Saturday, but on Monday he decided he was Mr. Brave and got on with grandma! He was on forever and didn't want to get off! Too cute...Playing on the ice...Exploring...Tyce and Kate in grandma's jacuzzi...Cole and Josh had fun in grandma and grandpa's big shower...Jackie had the boys do a special family home evening for us Monday night. She told the story of the 2000 stripling warriors and had the kids act it out. Adorable...These are their tough guy war faces...


We also played lots of family games, ate lots of food, Parker and I got to go see our friends Brandon and Becky, watched LOTS of football, did fireworks, and just enjoyed time together.


Parker and I came home thoroughly exhausted from the trip. It's always exhausting to fly across the country with kids, stay up late, get up early with the kids, play all day, then do it all again. But we had tons of fun and it was SO good to be with those we love. Love you all!!!

Thanks for braving "winter travel" with 3 little boys - it was wonderful being able to spend time with everyone, in spite of the various illnesses being passed around. Glad we get to see you again soon!
