what was she thinking

This is the sight that I saw when I went to check on Kambryn one day while she was napping. What is the world was this girl thinking??? Was she wanting to go for a sack race? Was she cold? Did she just want to see if she could fit in the pillow case? Who knows with this kid, she is so crazy, but we love her! Kambryn always entertains us with her crazy ideas.

"Sick Bug"

Well, the Morris Crew is finally on the mend from our stomach bug. We each began coming down with it and it seemed to have lasted for a month. Kambryn called it our "sick bug" since it made our tummy and bottom sick. Oh, how the mind of a 3 year old works. Anyway, I am sure everyone is curious to know these stats but I find them funny (after the fact of course). We have gone through 3 containers of Clorox wipes, 2 cans on Lysol, 1 bottle of Clorox bleach, 4 rolls of paper towels, to many rolls of toilet paper to count, 1 package of pull-ups (poor Kambryn was mortified that we made her wear these, but it was just easier than cleaning up the accidents), almost a full box of diapers, a 720 count box of wipes and two prescriptions of Zofran. Both kids ended up at Children's before the sick bug decided to leave our house. Kambryn had mild dehydration and was able to come back quickly with a prescription of Zofran and a little rehydration. Kolten on the other hand had a much harder time. He also got dehydrated, although his was much worse than Kambryn's and required a longer stay at Children's and more IV fluid's and Zofran. He is still not 100% at this point and is slowly making his way back up to his normal schedule and intake with milk and food. Poor little guy lost almost 2 whole pounds and his little fat rolls on his arms and thighs, it is really sad! Kyle and I both got the sick bug but lucky for us, ours was a lot shorter lived, maybe because we are adults and didn't get dehydrated like the kids. I took a few pictures while we were at Children's and they just break your heart because both of the kids look so sad and pathetic! Hope we are all over this and no one else gets it, it was a really "mean sick bug" :)

My Birthday Girl...

Just a few pictures from Kambryn's 3rd birthday party.

3 years.....

I can't believe that it has been three years since Kambryn's birth. It seems like yesterday that Kyle and I were preparing all of the things we "thought we needed" before she arrived. She was our bundle of joy at birth and has been ever since. She has always been a very independent spirit and is always pushing boundries and questioning how things are done or why something is. She is a very busy girl and we just love that about her. I can only imagine what she will be like in her teenage years, she will probably give me grey hair at a young age. Here are a few pictures from Kambryn's birthday breakfast. She wanted mickey mouse shaped chocolate chip pancakes and got to eat off her special birthday plate (that mommy usually reserves for decoration). Her party is next Saturday so I will post those pictures next week.

9 months old....

Our little boy is getting so big, can't believe that he is 9 months old. I also can't believe that I have started planning his 1st birthday party, wow how time flies. Lets see what Kolten has been up to....

• 9 month well check stats: 18 lbs and 28 inches long



• says mama and dada



• grunts loudly to get our attention (our little caveman)



• army crawling (but trying very hard to crawl on all fours)



• loves his solid food and starting to try to eat some finger foods



• pulls on his sisters hair to get her out of his face :)



• getting better about playing independently with his toys



• becoming more curious and exploring more



• loves to be outside - swinging, playing with bubbles or just sitting in the grass

getting into lipstick...

Well we have had a busy few weeks and I have really fallen behind on my blogging. This post will mostly be about Kambryn (Kolten will get his own post later). I am learning more and more everyday that Kambryn is very much like Kyle (for those of you that know Kyle well you know what I am talking about). She is always pushing the limits with what she can and can't do and is also learning that she can try to "reason" with me. She has an explaination for everything and is so serious when she gives you the reason she did something. This video is a perfect example of Kambryn getting into something that she shouldn't but she feels like it was fine because she is a big girl.

Snow, Snow and more Snow

As most of our friends know, we got a lot of snow this past week. Kolten got to actually experience this snow and venture out for a very short period of time and sit in the snow. Kambryn of course was very excited to play in the snow and was asking to go out every hour it seemed. Of course we had to have some hot chocolate each time we came back in to warm up. Here are some pictures from our snow experience.
