He's Here - Our Precious Levi

Levi Richard Morris
7.3 lbs
19 1/2 inches
Healthy and Adorable!


I can't believe he is actually here and we have loved every minute! Giving birth to my babies has been one of the most wonderful, exciting, and spiritual moments of my life. How can you not believe in heaven and miracles and the Plan of Salvation after such an experience? I know that little baby girls are so cute and sweet, but after having my 3rd little boy - I just can't get enough of them!!!

Three Days Old


Daddy and Levi - I just love seeing Justin with our boys. He is such a great father to each one of them!

Mommy and Levi - could I love another boy - yes!!


Corbin and Taylor have just loved their little brother. After Levi was born, they came into the hospital room and were just a bit nervous. We asked them if they wanted to hold the baby and they both said no and Corbin hid behind the chair. I think they were scared to see there mom hooked up to the IV and we were in a strange place. After just a few minutes they warmed right up and were so excited to hold there brother!

My greatest support! Justin was so great to be right there throughout the whole delivery. He knows just what to do and how to make me more comfortable and he's great at reminding me to breath through each contraction - I have a tendancy to want to hold my breath through them. Thank you Justin!




Our three little angels..Corbin, Taylor, and Levi.

I'm done!

I just wanted to post an update on what's going on. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I am dilated to a 2, but pretty much a 3. It sounds so nice, but as most of you know, it can be that way forever! Last night I had a couple of strong contractions...then nothing. This morning I lost my mucous plug, so now it's just waiting and waiting!! Hopefully something will happen in the next couple of days! My next appointment is Tuesday. The doctor says there is a 50/50 percent chance that I will not be pregant by then (I'm so relieved he let me know that) He will most likely induce me that day if I am still pregnant. Don't you just love doctors!!
We had our Family Home Evening on how the boys can help out around the house and help take care of our baby. They both are very excited, the only thing is they argue about who get's to hold the baby first...

Photo Tagged

I was Photo Tagged by Cami. The rule is to take pictures without tidying up (too much).

1. The Kitchen Sink
2. The Fridge
3. The Laundry Room
4. My Children...my boys...
5. My Favorite Rooms...are actually just like Cami, my kids rooms. They are the only places so far that I have gotten to do something sort of creative. I enjoy going in their rooms and playing and then in a few days I can't wait to go in the baby's room and rock him.
Grandpa Packer made this rocking horse and Taylor just absolutely Loves it! My most favorite part about this room is that Justin made the bunkbeds and the shelves, I thought they turned out so awesome and he made them just how I wanted them! It took a lot of time for him to do and I love and appreciate him so much for doing it! The only thing is that Corbin hardly sleeps in the top bunk, for some reason they both love to sleep in Taylor's, but I think it is pretty sweet. Corbin loves to tie rope (notice the picture) on the top bunk and climb up his ladder and then swing down - he's crazy!

Our babies room. It still is a work in progress, but it has been fun so far!
6. My closet - not much space, but it works. I still need to finish painting the inside. I can't wait to get rid of the pregnancy clothes and wear regular clothes again!!! Thankyou Mandi for lending me yours, but you can have them back really soon!
7. The Toilet...


8. My favorite shoes... 9. My dream vacation...
I would love to go anywhere with Justin...back east to the New England area, on a cruise, Hawaii, somewhere in Europe, at this point I'll take an overnighter somewhere!

10. Cheesy Me...

I tag Jessie, Jen (both Jens), and Shannon Ireland

My little photographer

Lately Corbin thinks it's hilarious to grab the camera and take lots of pictures - sometimes I will find some random picture of his feet, the bed, Taylor, or who knows what! I thought I would post a couple of his pictures that he was so proud of!

Yes, he captured what we truly have been doing this summer.


Please ignore the desk - it's driving me crazy too!


This is totally Taylor. Corbin knows how to capture who you really are (refer back to picture number one)


Taylor is his favorite subject to photograph.


This was a random one I found, but I love the picture. Justin built these shelves and doors for us and I have been so happy with it!

Fountains and Slides

The boys sure had a fun weekend. Friday we got together with my sister, three of my sister-in-laws, my brother (sorry Brenton that you had to suffer through that!!), and lots of cousins to play at the fountains at the Gateway. It was so much fun for the boys to play with their cousins and play in the fountains. Corbin especially loved it. Taylor, not so much, but he loved being their still. Thanks to everyone for coming and I just loved seeing all of you. We really need to do this kind of thing more often! We missed seeing Monica, Garrett, and Emery - next time for sure!!!

Hanging out on the steps: Corbin, Taylor, and Hunter!

I was so happy that Justin got to come and say hello during his lunch break. He works right next to the Gateway (the green tinted windows in the background). He loved watching Corbin running around having a blast!

Every half and hour that is a big show with the fountains that plays along with music - there is tons of water shooting up! Corbin and Hunter just love it!


A few of the cousins waiting for the water! Cami - I just had to put this picture in because Grace is so adorable huddled over in the corner!

Drying off.

On Saturday, Alayna and Jeff took the boys to a water-slide park. The boys had such a great time (they absolutely love them!) Justin and I were able to go on one last date before the baby comes. It was so fun to just be the two of us. We got to go the temple and enjoy lunch together - even Wal-Mart was a blast with just the two of us!! Thank you so much Alayna and Jeff!


Alayna asked Corbin what his favorite part was about the water park, Corbin said that one of the slides was not his favorite, but his favorite thing was drowning!! I think he is slightly confused - he thinks drowning is just dunking his head in the water.
