THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY

I love this part of the day when they both look like this . Don't they look so innocent ! This is when i can finally take my mom hat off for a minute and be sarah ( actually this is when i get all my house work done ) from the last post i have decided that i should take care of the kids when they are awake and then when they go to sleep turn the music on loud and get to cleaning . Makes for a late night but i need my quiet time .

sshhhhh

OK I need some suggestions

This is for all you somewhat organized scheduled people . How do you balance playing with your kids , teaching your kids , taking care of your kids , and cleaning or keeping your house clean . I always feel like Iam neglecting someone or something all the time . These couple of weeks have been very stressful and I don't really like the type of mom that Im being ( always stressed ) If any of you have any suggestions please let me know .

My baby is walking

Just thought that I would let everyone know that Matthew is walking and climbing . So we are having a whole bunch of new adventures . If my foot wasn't killing me ( see last post ) I would be a little more ok with this .

OUCH OUCH OUCH

Sunday at 1 in the morning Matthew decided he needed to wake me up . I climbed out of bed and went to stand up to go get him and my leg completely fell out from under me and down I went . I honestly thought i broke my leg . All i heard was crack pop crack pop . I stood up and relized that i ddin't break my leg and got back into bed . I then had the worst pain shoot up from my foot to my leg possible . the next day i couldn't walk on it . ( not a good thing when you have toddlers ) So i called my doc and he said ice it and stay off of it . I said you seem to forget that I have two toddlers none of those things are an option . Today i woke up and my foot was still really hurting me so I called the doc and they brought me in . I didn't sprain it I didn't break it completely however i did crack each and every little bone that connects your toes to your main foot . OUCH OUCH OUCH . and the worst part of it is there is nothing they can or will do . except for me to ice it and stay off of it .
Again not an option

So my foot hurts and my house is a disaster . Once again the joys of motherhood

WHAT IN THE WORLD

Why is it that when you leave the room for two minutes things always go crazy ? Friday night I just got done cleaning up dinner and Jack was off to walmart again ( one more weekend and he is done ) so i left to go to the bathroom which is right around the corner from the kitchen . I noticed that it was to quiet so i gave my children the benefit of the doubt and figured that hey are just being good little children . HA HA HA was I ever wrong , I walked out of the kitchen and had this huge aroma of soap hit my nose . I turned the corner and what do i see a BIG BOTTLE OF CASCADE yes that is right dishwasher soap in the hands of my sweet little Emilee , Matthew looking like he just got a shampoo from a salon and my floor covered in formula and CASCADE . oh my goodness . I was so angry and then to top it off my sweet little adorable Emilee says Yook Momma I Clean . I had to turn the corner and laugh so she wouldn't think that i found it funny . Oh the joys of motherhood while i don't recommend it Cascade does wonders in cleaning your floors .

The Morris Family

I have had this blog for a while and I don't think that I have ever really introduced the Morris Family. While most of us know who we are I will give a little more detail of our personalities.


JACK

Jack is 38 yrs old and the father and main provider for our home . He is a hard worker and tries to do his best with what he does . He is currently working two jobs one which he works an average of 60 hours a week so needless to say we don't see him very much however he does make sure that he spends some time with us when he is home sometimes it is 1 in the morning or he now has the kids waking up before he leaves so they get to see him . He is also the father of Brittany and Jack Ryan ( they are his children from a previous marriage more on them in a little bit ) Jack loves NORTH CAROLINA TARHEELS AND NORTH CAROLINA PERIOD. He also loves the Dallas Cowboys and NASCAR. Jack has had so many trials in his life and has very many interesting stories . He has come from places I'm not sure if i would of ever made it through . ( I'm not going to give specifics but most of you know most of the story . )

Sarah

Sarah ( that is me ) Is a Stay at home mom , and while i love the fact that I get to stay home with my children on a daily basis I will admit I struggle with it most of the time . I am a very strong willed and I have been told High Matience person. How ever I love people and find it easy for me to start up a conversation with anyone . I love to read and music. I love to bake and I'm learning on how to be a little domesticated. I am the mother of two beautiful children Emilee and Matthew ages 1 and 2 so needless to say I am very busy. I like to have plan and a schedule . ( not always a good thing ) I love the gospel and know that it is true and I do not know what I would do with out it or where my children and I would be . I am the oldest of four children and while I am the oldest my younger siblings have taught me so much . I love my family and hope that I can be more like them everyday. (Oh yeah I'm 26)

Brittany

While Brittany is not my Biological child I love her like my own and want the best for her . She is a happy beautiful 17 year old . She lives in Va and we miss her dearly. She knows what she wants and lets you know how she feels . She is a great big sister to Emilee and Matthew . I can not believe she is 17 already and will be going to college in a couple of years . my how time flies she was only 12 when i met her

Jack Ryan

While Jack Ryan is also not my Biological child I love him like my own . Jack Ryan is Jacks son he is 16 ( when I met him he was only 10 turning 11) he loves football and baseball. He is a big caring loving boy. Who when he is here knows how to have a good time . He also loves the Dallas Cowboys and just wants people to be happy . ( LISA you did a great job wit these two beautiful teenagers )


Emilee Grace Ann

Em is my first child and is 2 years old . She makes life very fun and happy and interesting . she loves her babies and loves to be outside to blow bubbles . She loves Elmo and her teddy . Her favorite song is Pop Corn Popping on the Apricot Tree. She loves Nursery and her Nursery friends . Now all we need to do is try to go to the bathroom ( more on my part then hers ) She loves to look for the moon every day .

Last but not least

Matthew David Lee

<:AtomicElement>Matthew just turned one the other day . ( see my last post ) He is a happy little boy. He hardly ever cries unless it is eating time . THIS BOY LOVES HIS FOOD . He is laid back and just wants to spend time with his sister Emilee . He is however a mamma's boy. ( I don't mind that at all ) While he had some health problems when he was a baby ie RSV and breathing problems he is healthy now . We only have one doctor now that is really exciting . He loves his friends that he plays with during Sunday school .
<:AtomicElement>He keeps me very busy
<:AtomicElement>
<:AtomicElement>I hope you got a quick glimpse of my cute family . I love being a mom and I love my family , they are my world love and life .

MY BABY IS 1

Oh wow this year has flown by , My baby is 1 . I can't believe it ! I get so sad when my babies turn one for some reason they get really dependant when they reach one and I am not needed anymore ! ( well I'm always needed but not as much ) I'm defiantly a newborn girl . He is so big and getting into everything climbing everything eating everything . There have been some babies born in our ward and I have been somewhat jealous i love newborns . No no more babies yet . ( I would like 2 more ) But in due time . Anyway I love my Matthew . He is so sweet and lovable and he is my special little man ( most of you have heard this story so i will not rehash it ) The lord defiantly knows what is best for us , Matthew could not of been born at a better time . well this year was full of alot of excitement and Emilee has done so well adjusting to her brother they are now best friends . If they are not sleeping at the same time then the one that is awake is sad and doesn't know what to do . HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW
