GOING PRIVATE

Unfortunately, there are some terrible people in this world so I have decided to make my blog private. I am actually saddened that I have to do this, but there are so many sick freaks out there that prey on innocent children that it's just not worth the risk to me. Anyways, please email me so you can still read my blog... jenn_morrill@hotmail.com And even if you don't really know me but still like to read my blog you can totally email me! I love it when people read my blog, I just have to weed out the sickos and weirdos. Thanks everyone!!!

Vegas, Roosevelt, and Sleepovers

It's getting hard to think of creative titles so...there ya go, haha. We've had a BUSY but fun week! Wednesday Parker and I headed down to Vegas for his interviews. We dropped the boys off with my mother in law, which is always kinda hard but I was so looking forward to our road trip together! The boys were not the least bit sad to see us go, haha, which made me happy because I know they are secure with mommy and daddy and that they love their grandparents. The trip down was a lot of fun, we took our time and stopped in St. George and went shopping. It was SOO nice to be able to do stuff on OUR time frame and not the boys! We did hit some really bad snow in Indian Canyon but other than that it was beautiful. I enjoyed time to talk to my husband and listen to my own music instead of VEGGIETALES!

Here's my hot husband in his wife's sunglasses, hahaha....

Ok so we only got one picture the whole trip, kinda sad, but really...who cares much to see Parker and I if the boys aren't in the picture???

Wednesday night we went on the New York New York rollar coaster, which was SOOO much fun! I'm a huge rollar coaster fan. =) We also hiked the whole strip and went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in Caesar's Palace. We didn't finish dinner until about 11pm, which was 12 our time, so we were SO tired (pathetic I know). We decided we didn't want to walk back so we decided to take a cab. We looked at prices and decided it was too expensive so we hiked ALL THE WAY to the monorail, only to find out that that was even MORE expensive so we (and when I say we I mean PARKER) decided to hike back out and find a cab. IN THE END, it costs $0.16 more to take a cab, haha. Anyways, we went to bed around 2am and slept great, we stayed in a really nice room at the MGM Grand.

Thursday morning Parker went to an interview which went really well. What did I do? SLEPT AND READ ALONE IN PEACE and it was the best day ever, haha. I took a jacuzzi, read an entire James Patterson, and got loads of much needed sleep. I have been really sick for a while now and I feel like that sleep really helped me get better faster. That night we went to PF Changs for the dinner interview which went really really well! We had a great time and they seemed quite impressed with my honey. =)

Friday we headed back to Roosevelt to see the boys. They were excited to see us but not ready to leave Grandma yet. Saturday morning they played for a while, we went and visited Grandma Bliss (Parker's grandma), went out to lunch, then headed home!

How cute are the blow up beds that Michelle bought for the boys!?

They always love the horses, Joshy pets them and says, "me brave," hahaha...


The boys had fun playing in the leaves...


TONIGHT was busy and fun too! We had my parents, grandparents, and Lindsay and Jason all over for the night AND Tegan (Parker's sister) and Abbi (my niece) are having a sleepover here tonight! They're downstairs eating popcorn and watching a movie right now. They play SO cute together and I just love having them at my house.

We made popcorn balls....

They played games with the boys...And set up camp downstairs in my living room....SO it's midnight and I am still working on my lesson for church in 9 hours, haha. It has been a fun week, I feel so blessed to have so much extended family around. I am such a dork...but there is no one else I'd rather be with than my family. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

It's The End of The World As We Know It

While I am not surprised, I am so INCREDIBLY disappointed, sickened, and worried about our new President! President Obama, ah it makes me cringe. I am sorry if I offend anyone but I have to get this off my chest and since my cough medicine hasn't kicked in yet for me to be able to sleep...here I go!

First off, it would be very interesting to find out how many blacks voted for Obama SOLELY because he is black. Now if I were to say, "I'm voting for McCain because he is white" I would be called a racist, true? However, to vote for Obama because he is black...that is ok. Pathetic, people are so stupid.

Second, to the rich people-say goodbye to your hard earned income, and to the poor-don't worry, you don't need to work, Obama will "redistribute the wealth" so you don't have to do anything! I would venture that about 90% of the rich are rich because of their HARD WORK. Yes, there are the few that were born into money or whatever. However, when people get an education, work hard, and take risks-WHY CAN'T THEY KEEP THEIR MONEY!? Now I ask myself, why bust my butt (or Parker's) to be successful when Obama will tax the crap out of me!? I think I'll just go work at Wendy's....

Third, I am so worried about my poor children who will grow up under this man's rule. He is against everything of value and supports everything that is wrong. Abortion will become simply another form of birth control, which will be great for all those waiting to do stem cell research on those poor babies. Homosexuality will become widely accepted and taught to my poor confused kids in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Worst yet-national security. Obama will pull out of Iraq like that pansy that he is and leave the mess there-which will come here.

The best part is...anything that Obama does wrong over the next 4 (PRAY that it's not 8) years will be blamed on what Bush did. Also, he's black so the press (who already loves him) will not be allowed to mock him as they did Bush. TALK ABOUT A DOUBLE STANDARD.

Ok I could go on forever, but I won't. All I have to say is America, watch out!!!

P.S. I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter, even if you don't agree with me, so COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT! =)

Abbi Lynn's Baptism...

Saturday was a very special day for our family, my niece Abbi was baptized! I can't believe she's 8 and I'm so proud of her decision to be baptized. It really was her decision too, my sister and her husband are not currently active in the church (although we all have hope that they will return) so it was Abbi's decision entirely whether she wanted to make this commitment to the Lord and to herself. Abbi has an unusual spirit about her, for an 8 year old she comprehends so much about the gospel and when she sings or talks about the gospel everyone around her can feel the spirit. I know she was sent to our family for a reason and we are all better people from being around her.


My dad baptized and confirmed her, which was very special for both of them. She looked so pretty and loved all the attention, but I think she also felt the spirit and was excited about becoming a member of our church. Congratulations princess, I am so proud of you!!!!

My beautiful sis and my beautiful niece...

My grandparents and our cousin, James, came up for the baptism too!

Can you tell how much I LOVE this girl!??


My parents and Abbi...

The boys were LESS than thrilled about being there....



My sisters and I...So I'm SO excited for WEDNESDAY because Parker and I are going to Vegas for 2 nights with NO KIDS! My wonderful mother in law is watching the boys so we're looking forward to some much needed time together, uninterrupted with "DRINK MOMMY, WRESTLE ME DADDY, WAAA WAAA WAAA". Haha, I love my twins, I do, but I love spending alone time with my honey too! Parker has 2 interviews, one of which is a dinner interview with the interviewers wife and Parker gets to bring ME! Wish us luck! My parents are worried that I'll do all the talking, haha, I'll try not to but it's not in my personality to keep quiet! Haha!

Happy Halloween!!

We had a fun Halloween this year with the boys, they were so excited about trick or treating and talked about it ALL day! We went up to Bountiful and went trick or treating with my sis and her kids which was so fun to see the 5 kids all dressed up. My parents and grandparents were all in town too so they were able to go trick or treating with us! We went up in the hills of Bountiful so we even got some king size candy bars! Jackpot! Haha.

Aren't they the cutest zebras and giraffes EVER!?


My mom and Abbi were green witches! Abbi thought it was SO cool to have paint on her face, and to look just like grandma-who she LOVES!

The whole trick or treating clan...


My gay husband and his princess umbrellas...

The boys and Livi checking out all their candy...

The kids all had so much fun and did so well trick or treating-despite the rain and wind! Jackson and Josh would say, "thanks you happy hallowEEEEEn" to every house and it was hilarious.

After we were done trick or treating we went back to my sister's house for a while and then my parents took the boys to their hotel for the night! It was a nice break and I was SO looking forward to sleeping in but, of course, I get sick. I was up most of the night congested with a horrible sore throat. HOW ANNOYING, I hate being sick. Anyways...here are some pics of the boys at my parent's hotel...

Prayer time...

This is how my parents found them after they fell asleep...how precious are twins!?

As if we weren't all tired enough from Halloween, today was Abbi's baptism! I can't believe my niece is 8! It was a wonderful day but I am feeling awful (Josh keeps saying, "mommy's chin hurts" hahaha, so I am going to get to bed and I'll do the baptism post tomorrow! Something to look forward to, because I know how all of you LOVE my blog, haha.
