Chelsea's Bridal Shower

We had Chelsea's Bridal shower on December 15th. It was so much fun and we had a great turn out. Here are some pictures of the night.

We played the "how well do you know Lamar" game and after every question she got wrong Chelsea had to put a piece of gum in her mouth. Let's just say we chose some really hard questions. It was pretty nasty!

The man of the night. Baby Daniel.

Maggie made Chelsea some beautiful jewelry that she wore for her wedding.

You can't get married two days after Christmas and not expect some kind of Santa lingerie. ha ha.

Thanksgiving

Well, this is really delayed but we had a great Thanksgiving this year. We spent the holiday in Flagstaff this year at Jamie's house. We had a ton of fun getting together with the Williams'. I actually did a little cooking this year, I was pretty proud of myself. I was incharge of the ham (it was precooked, but I did have to glaze it and put it in the crockpot). And I made an apple pie, and jello salad. All the food turned out great, and there were TONS of leftovers. We had Thanksgiving dinner the whole weekend. It was so good!!!

Nate got his game on. We played a lot of XBOX 360, and Wii. We don't have a game system so hopefully he played enough video games to last him a while!
On friday Jamie set up a time for us to go volunteer at the local food center. We served dinner to those who needed it. It was so much fun to do some service, it had been a long time since Nate and I got out and did something like that. It's such a great experience to be able to help such humble people. Everyone was very grateful.

Saturday we did some family canning. My mother-in-law brought the home canning machine, and tons and tons of food and cans. We canned rice, oats, wheat, apple slices, and fruit drink mix. We ended up coming home with more than 4 boxes of of canned food. It's a great start for our year supply, and we are so grateful to my in-laws for helping us out with that!

The whole weekend was so much fun. We loved playing with out neices and seeing the family. Carli wasn't able to come (she's in Hawaii, boo-hoo) but she'll be here for Christmas. Thank you for the great weekend Morriss family!!!

HAPPY 24TH NATE!!!!!

Pumpkin Carving!!!!!!

Last friday Nate and I hung out with Taylor and Kristin and did a little pumpkin carving. We had a lot of fun. I have to admit, pumpkin carving with my husband can get very frustrating...... It took like 2 hours for him to decide on what he wanted to carve. It came down to colonel Sanders from KFC, no thank you, and a gremlin. I chose the gremlin. The only problem was we didn't have an pattern to copy, so Nate freehanded the whole thing. I think it turned out pretty good.

Then Taylor busted out his power tools and we took everything to the next level. It wasn't as messy as we thought it would be so that was great, but I was in charge of making the gremlin look like one after the pumpkin had such harsh treatment. It was a tough job!

Kristin was in charge of carving their pumpkin. They started and finished theirs in half the time it took us, but that's because I'm married to Nate and he likes to take his time!

We were pretty proud of the final product. Too bad it looks horrible and deformed already!!! It only lasted a couple days... oh well, we had fun carving it!

TAG: 5th folder, 5th picture............

I had a hard time with this one. I proabably did every 5th you could possibly think of.... 5th from the front, 5th from the back etc etc.... But some I just couldn't put on my blog. (for example girls camp when I was like 13, no thanks).

Anyway, this is a picture of me and my good friend Tania. It was taken May of '03 outside wal-mart on my first date with Nate. We went to Wal-mart to buy some icecream and glow sticks (refer to earlier posts to understand the glow stick thing). Anyway, we were just being silly messing around with some clothes racks outside of wal-mart. I look like a baby in this picture! How's that for random??

Now I tag Kristin, Talia, Kelli and Celeste. HAVE FUN! (By the way sorry Kelli I know you tagged me for the quirks thing, but it was way too hard for me to think of anything :))

Forever Strong

Nate and I went and saw Forever Strong yesterday. It's a movie about the Highland high school rugby team. Highland is a school in Utah, that has won tons of national championships. There are a lot of bad reviews for this movie, but Nate and I loved it. It may be because Nate loves rugby and anything associated with it. It isn't playing in very many theatres but I highly reccomend it. I will admit some parts were a little corny, and it is definatly a sports movie, but the overall message of the movie is so good. I cried through just about the whole movie, but you know me, I cry in all movies. But we really did love it.

Bryan and Gabi's wedding

September 5th Bryan and Gabi tied the knot. For those of you who don't know Gabi is from Brazil. Bryan met her 5 or 6 years ago when he taught her family the gospel. Bryan finished up his mission, then Gabi served a mission, and here they are 5 years later being sealed in the Mesa temple. Gabi's parents came up with her for the wedding and everything. They are such nice people. Congratulations Bryan and Gabi, and the best of luck in your lives together! Gabi's parents and my parents with the bride and groom.
All 7 of my mom's kids. Back: Bryan, Will, Seth. Front: Nolan, me, Chelsea, and Sunny. We took some pretty funny pictures. We get pretty crazy at parties!

This is our serious picture. Ha!
