HE'S HERE!!!!

We have had a big week here at the Morrill house! It started with the boys going to Grandma E's house for a sleep over because Eric and I had to be to the hospital by 6:15 in the morning to get ready for my C-section. It was great Annie was there to get me prepped and prepared for what was going to happen!!!!!! It was good to have a translator there to help me through all the drug lingo and I have gotten sick after both my other babies so Annie new there was something to help with that and I didn't even come close to throwing up on my new baby:) So our T.J. (Thomas John) came like the others did no real problems and healthy I am the luckiest mom alive!!! He is just a little guy 7 lbs. and 19 1/4 inches (I forgot how small they are when they come), but a great sleeper. If you catch this before I get some pictures up know they are coming, so check back again soon:)

Normy will be Normy

So we just had a funny moment with Normy and since it has been so long since my last post I thought this is what I could tell you about. We sat down for dinner and we had some yummy baked ziti (thank you Britney) and Normy chose peas to have for his veggie. Not a surprise he loves peas and eats them quite often that is why what happened next WAS a surprise. Eric and I are sitting on either side of him and don't notice anything until he starts to sniff and giggle a little to himself, then he says to us "how do I get it out of there". With the great parenting going on neither one of us new what had happened so I asked "what's in there". He answered "with one of my peas" in between sniffs and giggles. Luckily we were able to stop the sniffing soon enough that he could still blow it out. Eric and I have been laughing about it all night:) HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!!

Moving Matty down, but check out this cute kid:)

The holidays have not even really gotten crazy for us yet but it has been hard for me to sit down and do this. Even though I have something super fun to blog about. Parker turned FIVE he has been talking about turning five since his third birthday. He would spin himself around and tell people to watch him to see how fast he could TURN five, and now it has finally come!

Yes you are counting 26 cute little heads in this picture (thanks to Annie risking her life to get this picture) it was the greatest party ever:) Parker loved it and loved having everyone there to wish him happy birthday! I had asked Parker who he wanted to invite to his birthday party and since he had not had one before he wanted to invite everyone he could think of. And since I had never given him a birthday party before I thought it was a great idea. It was fun and furious the whole time I planned a half dozen activities and each on lasted about 5 min including explaining the rules and then it was pure CRAZINESS and running around until we could get them settled for the next activity. I would not have had it any other way I am glad Parker loves to have his friends around him, and that I will do when there are no friends to be found. + you buddy:) +MOM

My Final 3!

I used to be able to talk about this at work, but now that I am home with my 2 boys they are not very interested:) I am a huge survivor fan, and if you missed last night it was a GOOD one. As like every season it is hard to stay true at the first of the game, because you don't really care what happens, but now we are to the point in the game where you have your favorites and it is fun to watch the game go!!! Sugar and Bob made a move together last night (the greatest move ever at least the most entertaining move ever) and I never would have thought they would play the game together. Anyway here are my top three in order of how I would like them to win the million: Bob, Matty, and Sugar.



Just watching the show I do think it could be a possibility that it could end up this way, but watching the extras has made me a little unsure. All I know is that if it does end up this way I will be watching next season for sure!!!

I just wanted to do something fun:)

So I have been craving cookie dough for a long long time, but have had a hard time justifying making cookie dough just to eat it. Well yesterday I thought what the heck we are going to do it today! Well I got the boys up to the counter and we all took turns adding ingredients (even the eggs). It was great everyone loved it and believe it or not there was not a huge mess by the time all the stuff was mixing. The time came for the best part to lick the beaters. We gave them to the boys and they loved it. SEE

So after the beaters we moved to spoons. Apparently not a good move for my children. I think Parker may have had two spoonfuls when he climbed off his chair with a little bit of a sick look on his face. Things did not go as well with Normy. He had one spoonful and before that was gone he had to climb off his chair and "choke" in the toilet. The "choke" comes from Parker having his sensitive gag reflex so when Parker chokes he pukes so Normy knowing what to do when he fells a "choke" coming on we owe to Parker puking so much. At least that good has come from dealing with so much puke:)

MY GRANDAD

My grandad moved on from this life yesterday, but I am not doing this so people will feel sorry for me. I want to take this chance to write down the things that I remember and love about MY GRANDAD. Probably one of my biggest memories is that he was always ready to trade you what you had in your pocket for what he had in his. He would even love it if it worked out in his favor. He is part of the reason the smell of coffee brings happy memories to me. It comes from the many very anticipated sleepovers that I would get each summer as a child. I would love to sit out on his driveway in the evening so we could talk to the neighbors that would walk by. He was one of the best ticklers that I ever knew. I have very vivid memories finding him cactus for his cactus garden. It was always fun to bird watch with him even if it was just from the kitchen table into the backyard. There were so many different kinds of birds to see. I will always love and miss my Grandad but now I KNOW that he knows how much he means to me:)

This is why I + my Normy

The other night we were having dinner (this dinner was a pretty good dinner for the Morrill family it consisted of all the major food groups)and Parker was doing his usual complaining about not liking any of the food. Parker has never been a good eater:( Normy will try anything and usually like it. This night was no different except for he tried it and then said everything in this dinner is BA-LICIOUS. I really needed something like that it made me smile all the way through:) Sorry about no picture for a while, but I lost my camera, have found it again so stand by!
