Brynlee Elizabeth Morris

2011-09-06T20:40:00.000-07:00

so she is finally here and im finally posting about it. ive had a bit of a rough recovery so havent had much computer time. she came sooner than we both thought which was a good thing since it was going to be the hottest week in arizona to date! i had been a three for two weeks so i didnt think that i was gonna have her before my due date.

i woke up monday morning around 220am whith some pains but i wasnt sure if they were contractions or not. i woke jake up and we starting timing them and they were about 30mins apart. around 830 we got to my moms since it was closer to the hospital and my contractions were getting about 15mins apart. i walked around my moms house trying to get them closer together. around 1130 we went to the hosptial got checked in and i was already at a 8! i couldnt believe it. they got me into a room and got my epidural really fast. i starting pushing around 200pm and she was born at 421pm 7lbs 10oz. she came out with her hand up by her face so it took me longer to get her pushed out. were just so thankful that shes here and love her so much.

Happy Birthday Dad!

2011-08-09T11:03:00.000-07:00

its dads birthday today and i cant even begin to put into words how much i love and apprecitate him. hes done so much for me and i know that i take him for granted sometimes. hes always there for me whenever i need him. he gives great advise and always wants best for his family. he loves to camp, fish, wrestling, but most of all he loves chaning he grandkids diapers! (j/k by the way hes never changed one and he has 7 of them) thank you for everything dad i love you so much. i hope its a great day.

Preschool!

2011-08-09T10:52:00.000-07:00

charlee started preschool today! i cant believe it....its 3 days a week for 2 hours but it sill makes me sad her being gone. she was brave but i have to admit i cried on the way home. i didnt think that i would. when we were kids mom always took us out front by the trees and took pictures of us on the first day of school. man there are some bad pictures of us....lol but i thought i keep a traditon going and take charlee out front and take some pictures. it must have been bright becuase the girl has her eyes closed in almost every picture. i know she will do good. she so smart and grown up i want it to last forever. i love you baby girl.

2010-11-01T20:05:00.000-07:00

we had a great halloween and hope everyone else did too! charlee was a fairy this year and im proud to say that i made all of it. she was so cute! she loved going house to house saying " treat" and then would say "thank you" when she left. it was great

as you can tell we made out with candy

grammy j and grandpa came with us that night

riding the pony at the church trunk or treat

what a cute fairy!

the proud mama and little girl

we were lucky enough to spend halloween with jakes oldest sister alisson and her kids. charlee and brooke loved playing with each other, although she doesnt like getting her picture taken. check out facebook for the videos i put on there of charlee dancing....its too funny

make up mayham

2010-10-23T18:06:00.000-07:00

i put charlee down for a nap and ran up to the store when i came home exptecting her to still be asleep i come home to find her like this. she got into some on my moms makeup and had it all over the place. i was mad at the time but i just had to take some pictures.

charlee's new cast

2010-10-04T21:02:00.000-07:00

so we took charlee to the ortho doctor today. she fell when playing with jake and fractured her arm. we didnt know that she fractured untill about a week ago. poor baby...she only complained about twice so i just thought she badly bruised it. we finally took her get a xray and sure enough she had a buckle fracture. the good thin is that its already starting to heal. so the doctor put a removal cast on her instead of a hard cast. she did pretty well with it today. so we go back in 3 weeks to get more xrays so hopefully everything will be good by then.

gearing up for halloween!

2010-09-26T17:57:00.000-07:00

charlee and i went o erie to see my sister and her family. we spend thanksgiving with them and it was so nice. it was a long day of flying and it was a great surprise to see my dad there. he wasnt supposed to be but surprised us all. hunter came running up to me and gave a big hug. it was such a good time. i miss them so much already! its so hard being so far away! i know charlee misses them too. she had such a good time with them. carter showed her a few things, like how to climb on chairs to get stuff off the table and counters. evertime i turned around i had to get them down. the wrestled, played and got hurt but it was a great time hanging with my mom and sister, crafting and shopping. i love you guys!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-27T17:42:00.000-08:00

gosh i can believe that its been a month since my last post. these weeks have gone by sooooo fast i cant believe thanksgiving is already over. im in erie right now my sister and her boys. its so great seeing them. im so thankful that i get to spend this time with them. we did have a great surprise. my dad wasnt supposed to be here with us, but suprised us all by getting here before my mom and i got here. we had no idea, infact no one did. it was a great surprise! we went shopping this morining getting us at 400am! man was it crazy. erie isnt as small as i thought it was, and theres only one target, walmart, bestbuy and sears. so the lines were super crazy long. if it wasnt for my moms quick thinking we would have been in a target line for like 2hours! my mom stood in line while we shopped at walmart, so that was nice. its been pretty cold. its supposed to snow in the next couple of days, but its been raining a lot. i couldnt belive when people had flip flops on and light sweaters. i had a scarf, big heavy jacket, and gloves! well i hope that everyons thanksgiving was a good as ours.

Happy Halloween!

2009-10-10T23:04:00.000-07:00

i know that i haven't blogged lately but my camera has gone m.i.a. things are good, our house is getting close to being done and we think that we will be in before Christmas, needless to say we are very excited. i will post pictures when in find my camera (Julie it has to be at your house) so we decide that it was about time to get charlees pictures done. so we got a coupon so we headed to sears today to get them done. she wasn't cooperating very well and wouldn't really smile that much but we did get some good ones. enjoy!

2009-09-09T21:32:00.001-07:00

i cant believe my baby is 15months already. we just love her to death. shes getting bigger and smater all the time! shes signing really well now, shes really getting to be her own person. she loves to do what you do, she loves to throw clothes in the washer. she thinks she is a big girl alwaying wanting her own fork, sitting in her own chair, with no booster. we just love her so much and are so thankful that she is a part of our family

2009-09-09T21:06:00.000-07:00

this is the new shoe i bought! isnt she lovely? i get to wear it for a whole 3 lovely weeks....you see how i got the privlege to wear this lovely shoe is i had a battle with a rock and the rock won! i was walking to my car to go to target and i wasnt paying attention and i ran into a rock. i stubbed my pinkie toe and man did it hurt.....so i thought i would just walk it off...boy was i wrong. i looked down and my small toe was sticking out to the right. (its my right pinkie toe) let me just tell you i didnt look right. so i had to go to the doctor this moring and get xrays and some lovely shots to num my foot and the doctor yanked it back into place. to say the least im not happy about my recent shoe purchase

jake and i finally made it to jersey! my first flight went really well, charlee did good no problems. but when i landed in colombus i learned that my flight was delayed 3 hours! i couldnt believe it! jakes flight was also delayed. to make a long story short, we finally boarded a plane around 900 then had to switch planes because of a leak....we finally made it to my aunt and uncles aroundc 1230! we sure had a great time though. we went down to cape may and stayed in a beach house. it was really nice. the water was a little cold for me but everyone else loved it. we went to wildwood and walked down the boardwalk. it was so hard to leave. we didnt want to come back to reality! thanks so much oj and nannie for everything!

dad me and charlee

dad and me. just wanted to say that i love you so much and im so glad your my dad. thank you for all that you do! i couldnt be any luckier!

and were back....

2009-07-30T17:57:00.001-07:00

so its been a while since ive updated. my camera battery died and i had to buy a new one becuase it woulndt charge. so i finally got one. so heres a few pictures of charlee, shes getting so big. shes signing more and saying "uh-oh" and its so cute.

she looks so grown up in this picture

she loves to feed herself and is learning how to use the fork properly. we still have a little ways to go.

ideas anyone?

2009-07-09T19:35:00.000-07:00

so charlee loves the water, pool, bath, sprinkler anything really, but since we live in a condo i dont have anywhere to put a little pool for her and our pool is out of service....so if anyone has any ideas where i could take her for a cool down in this heat that would great. idealy it would be somehting other than a pool. she loves it but she hates being in a floatey and she has no fear and will stick her head under the water if i dont watch her closley. so somewhere where i can stand and watch her and she can splash around. so let me know!

Happy 4th Everyone!

2009-07-04T09:36:00.000-07:00

we hate goodbyes

2009-06-18T16:59:00.000-07:00

so the day has finally come. Brit and the boys moved to Pennsylvania! i cant believe that they are gone. it so sad. we took them to the airport this afternoon. my dad and i were actually allowed to go all the way to the gate with them. they have "passenger assistant" passes that allows you to go thought security with you family. you should have seen us five kids, car seats, 4 bags at least and a double stroller! it was site! I'm going to miss them so much....of course i balled when they got on the plane. 3 years they are going to be there at it totally sucks! charlee is gonna know what to do by herself family parties are going to be pretty boring now! i have a trip planned in Nov and I'm counting down the days. we miss you guys already!

charlee is one!

2009-06-09T20:28:00.000-07:00

i cant believe that it was a year ago that charlee was born! time has gone by so fast and she has certainly won over our hearts. it was worth everything that i went through to have her. she is truly a blessing in our lives and cant image life without her. heavnly father has truly blessed us. shes getting so big. walking and talking feeding herself. shes learning how to sign she has "more" down pretty good but were still learning the other ones. im very greatful to be her mom!

the day she was born! look at the head

what a sweet baby

smiling of course

we love you baby girl!

American Idol

2009-05-21T22:46:00.000-07:00

i cant believe american idol is over already. i never really watched the last few seasons and i never voted but we got in to this year and ive watched from the start. kris has been one of my favorites since the beginging and i voted for him everyweek. i didnt like adam at all, i know that he has a good voice but i just not into that whole look and music. i absoulety hated what he did with "ring of fire"! in the back of my mind i thought for sure that adam was going to win! but praying that kris would. im so glad that he did. he did a great job with keith urban on the finale (by the way i love love keith) yah for kris!

9months old!

2009-03-10T17:56:00.000-07:00

i cant believe that my little girl is 9months old! we went for her check up yesturday and is doing great. she still in the 50th percentile for her height and weight. she acutally hasnt gained much since her last office visit. i had to take her in about 3weeks ago for an ear infection and shes only gained a few ounces. but the doctor said that it was ok because shes starting to level out. she loves to crawl and is learning to walk! she walks along couches and she can stand by herself for about 10seconds. shes getting better everyday. she trying to talk and loves to make grunting noises and will try to imitate you. she can say mama, dada and bababa. she also loves to eat! she will eat just about anything you give her and wants everything you have. shes pretty much just eating table food. her favorite thing to do is get into purses and bags. she will empty everything out and crawl around with it. she also loves being chased.....it so cute to watch. jacob will crawl after her and she will laguh. we just love her so much and cnat imagine out lives with out her. she brings such great blessing to our lives everyday.

first words

2009-02-25T20:59:00.000-08:00

ive been working with charlee to say mama and dada. everyday i would say it too her hoping she would say it back....well she finally did it and we got it on tape.
