Woodbadge

Brian went to Woodbage in the spring and part of that experience included setting some goals to accomplish by a certain date to earn their beads. Tonight we got to go to the ceremony where he received those.

I gotta be honest...I never thought Brian would own a scout uniform let alone wear one for 6 days at Woodbadge. :) I think it's awesome!

Pumpkins

We had a great time carving pumpkins this year. Bryson, Hailey & Courtney definitely put the most thought and effort into theirs...Brian's took him about 3 minutes...I refuse to touch pumpkin guts so I painted mine...and let's not even talk about Nick's...haha. :)

 Both father and son think they're pretty funny in pretending to eat raw pumpkin guts.

 Special girls...I think the pumpkin fumes started getting to them. :)

 Cute couple, cute pumpkins.

 Brian has become the ultimate photo bomber.

 Hailey was so awesome and carried the straw to the porch to put our pumpkins on...it was HEAVY!!!

...and here's Nick's special pumpkin...

We are cherishing every holiday and moment knowing that Bryson will soon leave on his mission!

How We Roll...

Just a glimpse into the life of the Morrow's...

Bryson is an obsessive ironer...and when all of the wrinkles don't come out of the sweaters he irons, this is how he takes care of them...

No permanent burn scars yet...haha

I don't like heights, nor do I like climbing up and down ladders so I enlist Hailey's help to change out the ledge decor for fall.

 Rocko loves Bryson...and Bryson loves Rocko.

 And sometimes Nick comes homes from Masey's house with her hair extensions on his head and he and Hailey see whose hair is longer.

And that's how we roll!

Updated Pictures of Bryson

With Bryson getting ready to leave for two years, we felt the need to get some updated pictures of him for around the house. The two pictures we have on the wall of him are from his senior year in high school and his Marine picture. So we found a great photographer and headed up to Salt Lake to get some pictures...they turned out awesome. We ended up with about 50 pictures but wanted to post just a few for our blog book. 

Hailey came along as the helper/holder of everything. :)

 Hailey & I entertained ourselves with selfies while they were taking the "good" pictures.

Love this boy!

Alpine Loop

In between General Conference sessions we went and picked up my parents and took a drive around the Alpine Loop. It is so beautiful up there right now as the leaves are beginning to change colors.

 Brian and I attempted to take a selfie but discovered we are not talented enough to do that. :)

We stopped for lunch in Midway at an Italian restaurant we discovered when we stayed up at the Homestead in the spring. It is yummy, authentic pizza and my parents loved it as well. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon! (The kids apparently are not interested in spending the afternoon in the car with us driving around the mountains anymore.)
