GoDaddy Christmas Party 2010

ZZ Tops had to take a lot of breaks
We were too lazy to go up to the stage area
They were pretty funny
Danica and at least she wore something a little bit more modest this year
George Thorogood.
I am not a rocker I think I only knew like one of his songs.
Fireworks as usual
Jillian Michaels being a total dork.
She was so weird. I figure she would be more professional she must have been drunk
We look so cute.
Jewel she is so pretty
She sang some classics and she even yodel for us.
Bob coming out for the first time with his security detail. I am surprised his new wife doesn't get mad
This was a warm up band I thought they were the best personally but it is just because they sang songs that I knew

This year at the Godaddy Christmas party it was a lot different then the past years. I go to expect this wonderful dinner to find out it's just carnival junk food with a classy twist to it. Of course can I eat any of it no not really. So the night turned out to be ok we had some really neat bands, no comedians this year. I basically ate popcorn, cotton candy, a Popsicle, a few garlic fries, a few bites of some phili cheese steak, and salt water taffy. I wasn't very impressed especially being pregnant and starving. After the party we headed straight for the taco bell. Steve and I tried our hand at a few carnival games. Steve won two stuffed animals and the gift that we got at the end of the party was a bear that sings the Godaddy song. Out of all it was fun to get away and see our friends. The ZZ pops were pretty funny. There was a lot of celebrities at the party. Even our good old Sheriff Joe. Well I guess he is not our Sheriff but still we know him well. Jillian Michaels was there the trainer from the Biggest Loser. She was totally clueless about how much money Bob really gives away each year. In fact we didn't win anything this year but we got lucky because Bob said I am going to pay the people who have to work the Christmas Party Quadruple pay and an extra 250 bonus. Well we thought that just meant the people who had to work that night but it worked out for everyone who worked that day which included Steve. We were able to have some extra money for Christmas which was so nice. We hung out with Chuck and his wife which was a change and it was so fun. This party was a little hard on me, my bladder just didn't want to stay empty so about every 20 minutes I had to trek my way back up the stairs to the bathrooms it was pretty funny actually. It seemed like this year there was way more people then there have been in the past. Just goes to show how amazing this company really is and how awesome they treat their employees. I am very grateful Steven works there and I even went up to the big Chief himself Bob and thanked him for the invetro. Steven thought I was crazy but his wife and Bob were super nice to me.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a picture of Charlie's Skull
This is Kourtney's profile
Here they are together
Well today we are 18 weeks and had our ob complete ultrasound that was ordered by the doctor. They took an hour and took all the measurements of the babies. We found out that baby A was on target exactly for the due date and Baby b is good to go too. We also found that Baby A is a BOY and Baby B is a GIRL. We are super excited and are going to be naming the Boy Charlie Harland Morrissey and the Girl will be Kourtney Joy Morrissey.

10 weeks and 11 weeks

My first picture of showing how big I have gotten. I can't believe how big I am getting.
Ultrasound picture at 11 weeks. It was really fun seeing the babies this week. Baby A decided that he wanted to keep it's back to us. Baby B was curled up in a ball. But it look like it was waving at us. We were both shocked at how much they were moving around. They wouldn't hold still for a second. The doctor said they are doing awesome and wants to see us in 4 weeks. I will be 15 weeks so I am hoping that we might get to find out what they are but it might still be too early. I have been feeling ok. The doctor put me on a different nausea medicine because the other one wasn't working very good. I still am so tired, have bad leg cramps, major heart burn but other than that great.

Update

Well haven't written in a while and things in the Morrissey household just never stops being so busy. Well as for me I am now almost 10 weeks pregnant. I still am in sock that I am going to be having two new little ones that actually grew inside of me. I have been looking at strollers and other baby items and still not believing that I will have to have this stuff. I definitely feel pregnant even if I don't believe it. I have been so sick thank goodness for modern technology for giving me medicine for my nausea problem. Now if I could find something for my tired problem we be in business. I have been so tired. I could basically sleep all day and all night. But life happens so I am trying to be a good foster mom and a good wife but I know I haven't been 100% due to being so tired. Other than that I have been doing pretty good. I don't fit into any of my old shorts or pants and just wear basketball shorts all week. We went to the regular OB two weeks ago and he is so excited. He has been with us through our long journey of trying to get pregnant and he even called me after the appointment that night and just had to say how excited he is. I am grateful to have such an awesome doctor who actually knows me and is ready to help me bring these two precious spirits into the world. I wish time could travel a little faster because out of the almost 7 years of trying I finally am there and it is not as fun as I thought it would be LOL. It will be so worth it I just know it. Steven is so beyond excited about the babies. He has been so awesome at helping me with the girls and house work. I am so blessed with such a great husband who takes such good care of me. I know that it hasn't been very fun for him having a sleepy wife all the time but it will soon past and hope he will work with me until then.
We still have both foster girls. They also are so excited for the babies. The youngest said that the girl baby will sleep in her room and the boy baby will sleep in the other ones room. We shall see what happens. We have no clue as to what these two will be but hopefully the girls will get to see them. We don't know what is going to happen, we are still dealing with the courts and other relatives wanting to try to adopt the girls. The mom has another court date in December and so we shall see what happens after that. The girls just got their tonsils and adenoids out last week and the younger one got tubes in her ears. I was expecting them to be pretty out of it but they have been bouncing off the walls since they been home. I am glad that they were able to do it together and that everything went well. Their voices have been a little strange but other than that you wouldn't even know that they had major surgery last week. Well that pretty much sums it up for now I wish I could post pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes but that's a no no. Maybe someday if they become ours I can have a huge picture album blog just for them. As for me I am still working three days a week for the cute lady that has a brain tumor. It is so nice to actually use some of my knowledge I gained from grad school. I miss school a lot but I know God has me on the path I need to be on. I am supposed to start school again in May but it looks like I am probably going to have to postpone till August. Which will be fun because my little sister got accepted into the same school just a different program which starts in September so we might get to meet up for lunch or carpool or something. It's getting harder for me to work with me being so tired but I feel bad leaving her plus the extra money is always nice. Well I hope everyone is doing well, and as for the Morrissey family we are doing ok.

Our new Adventure

In the beginning of our adventure we started taking the highest dose hormones.
Then our embryos were implanted
Both decided to stay so we are on our way to having twins.

My Grandpa Charley

My sister, aunt Joy, aunt Beanie, and me.
This is a picture of cement that is in front of his house. It has my grandpa and his wife Janice's initials carved in. I thought it was really cute.
My dad, sister, uncle sid, and my cousin Sam.
This has my aunts and my sister.
This is a close up of the picture that was on his shirt.
My grandpa's best friend made these Charles Edward Fan club shirts. He is so cute.
His bowling wall.
He was a real handsome guy.
This is one of his records.
This is a picture of him playing in the bar. Can you believe as a kids we would go and see him all the time and yes that is a naked lady behind him.
This has both of my sisters, my uncle sid and aunt Jeanette, my aunt Joy, my aunt Tobby, some of my grandpa's friends from his neighborhood.
This picture you can see my mom, Glenn my mom's step brother who lived with my grandpa up until he died, and my sister Lynsey.
This was a picture of when my grandpa was in the military.
At the old Rawhide they had a lot of fun places to get your picture taken. I haven't been to the new one yet I think that it would take away the good memories.
He was in the paper.
Here was a poster from when he used to play at Rawhide. He looks so handsome.
There was an amazing artist that drew a portrait of him. It is pretty big and he left it to my mom when he died.
My grandpa Charley died and we had a little memorial service at his house. Here are a couple of pictures from his house and of the people that were there. I really miss him I wish I would of had the opportunity to say goodbye but I know I will get to see him again someday soon and I am sure he is up with the angels singing with his amazing voice. I am so blessed to be able to have a copy of his CDs. I remember when I was a kid we used to go to the bar to him sing and we would get 7up and we thought we were so cool because we were like the only kids in the bar. He sang at Rawhide for 30 years. I love you grandpa.

August Birthdays

Ok so my husband was the one with the camera. So there is only two pictures. We got to celebrate my brother n law Eric's, my sister Lynsey's, my cousin Cami's, my Grandma's, and my birthday. We had so many good cakes. When singing the birthday song it sounded really funny having everyone trying to say all the names. We have the same problem in April when there is another bunch of birthdays. I am so grateful that I come from such an awesome family heritage. I wish that my husband new his cousins, aunts, and uncles like I know mine. We get together the third Sunday of every month if not more if there is holidays or special occasions. Well one of the pictures is Lynsey and my brother n law is in the corner and the other is me and Cami and some of the other cousins. I can't believe I am turning 27 this month. Steven is turning 30 next year and I am very close. I always thought that my life would be so different when I was a kids seeing my parents, aunts, uncles, cousin they seemed like so much older and now I am that old I don't even feel like I am that old. Well I guess we can't stay in neverland forever. We all have to grow up sometime.

Hello Craziness!

Well life has been so crazy lately. We have been blessed with two foster kids. They are both girls four and five and have crazy schedules. I thought I would never have this problem of running around nonstop. The girls have mom visits on Mondays. Tuesdays we are supposed to be able to relax but for some reason we always have something going on. Wednesdays is piano days even though the four year old is really not doing it. Thursdays is gymnastics. It is their favorite day of the week. After picking up after school we come home do some homework have a snack and off to the gym. They ask for gymnastics day like everyday. I wish that I was a millionaire to be able to take them all the time. They burn so much energy and come out drenched in sweat. I know gross but it is less energy that I have to use to help them burn energy I just sit in the lobby. Wednesdays and Fridays are our crazy days. This is when I have to take both girls to two different schools. Then off to work for me. Then I have to pick both girls up and it just feels like the day never ends because we always have to do something. Like yesterday was Friday and we didn't get home till like 5:30 because I had to get the girls after school, go to the bank, stop by my chiropractor, go to the store to pick up some ingredients for dinner. Phew it makes me tired just talking about it. It has been fun, really crazy but fun. It is nice to have some company even though sometimes they can be a bit loud. We are looking into getting the girls into soccer soon even though I hate soccer but it is so good for the girls to burn energy. I wish I could have a pinch of their energy. I never thought I would be like mom in someways when it comes to parenting but I am. Pretty much I think I am actually stricter than my mom sometimes. But these sweet girls have come from a place where they had no structure at all. It is kind of hard for the girls to get used to having rules but they are coming around. I wish I could post pictures but since these kids are the state's I can't post them. My birthday is coming up and we are having my grandma's, my cousin Cami, my sister Lynsey, and my birthday at my grandmas house tomorrow night. So pictures are to come. On my husbands side we will be having a party for my sister-n-law Lara, my twin nephews Elijah and Isaiah, and me. So it should be a good month. As for the craziness I doubt it's going to slow down anytime soon because I went to the invetro doctor last week. So my body is going to be poked and praded soon. Hope this time works better.

My dad and his horses

My dad is so funny I forgot about these pictures but my dad went to Colorado with my husband and my brother. They were supposed to go get one horse. They ended up coming back with way more than one in fact they left Colorado with 4 horses. One stayed at my brothers house. The other three were a one year and a mom of one of the other horses that my dad has and then they discovered that mom had a baby. They are really cute. So my dad now has a total of 7 horses in his backyard. He has two horses at my brothers house. It is so funny how my dad used to be in to pigeons the smallest animal to horses that are huge.

July Birthdays

Clancy is such a cheese if you say "cheese" he will smile and pose for you.
Opening my presents
Hello can't you see I'm busy here
After my first birthday cake. It is a horrible picture but he had it everywhere.
They couldn't get the candle to blow out.
Steven and some of the other cousins.
Lighting the candles on everyone's cake.
Steven looks so happy in this picture I just wish the quality of the picture could have been better.
Well the pictures are horrible because I forgot my camera and had to use my phone. But in July we had my cousin Sebrina and sister Brittany and her baby Clancy, and my hubby. It was lots of cake and ice cream. My grandpa counted how many people were in the house and there was a total of 32 people there. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful extended family and thankfully live so close.
