Elephant Parade
On Wednesday we went with my friend Jen and her two kids, Iris and Jimmy, to the Elephant parade at the gateway. It was extremely short, but the kids had lots of fun and it was so nice to do something totally different!
Iris is Taylor's age and I have to say that they are the best of friends. Whenever we go to the park on playgroup day or on Frisbee night when lots of kids are there, those two are always off plaing on their own. They giggle and laugh and do all sorts of silly things, I think it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.
The last picture here of Corbin and Iris is pretty adorable, but is this what I have to "look forward" to. All of the girls Taylor's age will be going for Corbin (well, maybe all the girls Levi's age will go for Tay)...ahh, I can't be thinking of this already!!
Actually, Taylor just didn't want to be in the pictures.

Long Overdue Tag
Okay, Mandi tagged me a while ago and I am just getting to it - sorry Mandi. I'm sure you understand! I am suppose to tell 6 quirks about myself.
1. One of my favorite hobbies is going to the library and picking out different recipe books and getting new recipes. It is so relaxing to me to sit back and look through them! Someday I really want to write a recipe book.
2. I have a really weird system for putting my silverware back in the drawer. I have two sets of silverware and they each come with 4 big forks and spoons, and 4 small forks and spoons. So the number one big set goes first, then number two big set, then number 1 small set, and then number 2 small set. Don't even ask me why!
3. To go along with that. When I am loading the dishwasher, I like to line my plates up in the order that I am going to be putting them away. I have pink, orange, green, and blue plastic plates. And that's the order they go in the dishwasher and so when I put them away the pinks go first, then orange, then green, then blue - they are sorted in the rainbow colors - again, don't ask!
4. I also like to have my clothes hung up in rainbow colors according to the category they belong, like t-shirts, my nicer shirts, then shirts with collars, jackets, etc. When I was in high school, I liked having my hangers the same distance apart so that it just looked really nice when you opened the closet. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but it does make me feel really good when they are evenly spaced!
5. Now the funny thing is that you would think that I was this super organized person. I'm not - at least I am not where I would love to be, - you know it's kind of hard with kids! Although me and Mandi were talking the other day and we decided that we both love to take whatever is messy and organize it, then let it get messy again and organize it all over...so weird, but it's relaxing.
6. When I was little I really wanted to be a country singer.

3 1/2 weeks
I can't believe it has been 3 1/2 weeks already. I have to say that adjusting to three kids has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I want to thank our family and friends who have helped to make it that way...Thankyou!! We feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.
Levi is still such a good baby and makes for a wonderful third boy. He already seems so patient and willing to put up with two older brothers. Corbin and Taylor have been really good and gently to him. The only hard thing is that Corbin wants to carry Levi everywhere (which I have to say is really adorable, but scary at the same time)
I have been taking lots and lots of pictures these last couple of weeks, I thought I would show some of my favorite ones.
This is all right.
Wait - never mind!!!
It was Peach Days this past weekend - what a great holiday! It was so much fun to see the family (except Jessie and Brenton - we really missed you guys!) I always love going to mom and dad's and just relaxing in the yard. They have the world's most beautiful backyard! Thankyou to my mom and my sister-in-laws and Abby for taking care of Levi!
After lunch my mom took us to the horses and rode around for a while. Taylor was in 7th Heaven - he absolutely loves horses, especially Ritz! I love watching my mom with horses, they have been her passion since she was 3 years old and now she has several grandchildren who are following in her footsteps.
Corbin liked riding horses, but this is what he was excited about! Abby, Caroline, and Corbin played with this kitten almost the whole time. They made the kitty a bed, played house, and chased the kitty through the hay! My nieces are so adorable, especially to my kids!

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!
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).
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!
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
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!
