For a time such as this

I LOVE this commercial and thought I would share.

Yes, thanks to Shrek the Third, this is Logan’s favorite song right now. He loves to play air guitar to it and wants Chris to play the drums. I get the pleasure of singing the song!

Morrison 4 & counting…, originally uploaded by lotymor.

This photo was taken after church today. Our good friends and neighbors are leaving in a few short weeks. I was requested to make a scrapbook page for their book of Guam memories so I figured what better time to have a picture taken but right after church when we look nice!

This pic was taken under our big mango tree and if you look closely, you can see the half rotten mango that Logan is so proudly displaying. He helps his dad out by pitching the fallen ones across the street to the empty field. He’s getting a great arm from all the practice!

Well it’s about time I got back to doing this. So sorry but a little thing happened called hyperemesis gravidarum (big time morning sickness). Things have been going well for about a month but I just haven’t had a chance to get back on here.

We went to Hawaii last month and had a great time. We flew over for free on one of the Airforce’s C-17 cargp planes. The boys loved that…me, not so much especially when they told us they were taking a maintenance crew in case something happened to the plane mid-flight. We did get “stuck” in Hawaii for 5 extra days because there wasn’t a single flight going to Guam. Not exactly complaining about that one!

We met Mamaw, Pap pap and Shell Shell there. It was great to see everyone and only confirmed for me how much I want to move back to the states. It’s a lonely island without your family.

I would type in more detail about the trip but since I haven’t been on here in a while it would probably take me forever so I’m going to start fresh. Keep checking in for weekly updates!

Happy Birthday Tyler

We celebrated his 2nd birthday today by going to an aquarium and then to Denny’s for dinner. I can’t believe my baby is TWO!!!

New addition to the Morrison household!

No, it’s not a caribou or a hermit crab! It’s a baby! Chris and I just found out we are expecting another child sometime in September. This will hopefully be the third and FINAL installment to the Morrison family. I’m getting too old for this morning sickness. Logan is very excited about the new baby. Every morning he asks me how my baby is feeling. He knows I’ve been sick so I’m assuming it’s because of that. He wants me to have a girl with blue hair and we’ll name her Marissa (after a little friend in NC). We went to his Cubbies class (he participates in a Christian program called AWANAS) and stood out in the hallway announcing the pregnancy to everyone that walked by. I got a lot of raised eyebrows and questioning looks before I realized what he was doing.

Please pray that this pregnancy goes smoothly as the others haven’t. There is a lack of high risk doctors on the island so I’ll have to be shuttled off island if there is a problem. So far I’ve been really sick but that’s nothing out of the ordinary. With God’s help I’ll get through it.

This is a caribou, also known as a water buffalo. They are HUGE! This one has a saddle (on the ground) and the biggest horns I’ve ever seen on one of them. We didn’t get a good pic head on (because the owner would have charged us) so you can’t really tell how far the horns curve in. Some of these guys are pretty tame but it’s not unheard of to run across a wild one in the jungle. I’ve been told to give them a WIDE berth or the sucker will charge!

Natural Pool

Today we took a drive out to see more of Guam’s natural beauty. We came across this place. Salugula or something like that. I have not idea how to say or spell it so forgive me! The locals were swimming and diving into this pool. The waves were crashing just beyond the coral. It was absolutely beautiful. I want to go back sometime during the week when it’s not so crowded so we can swim. There is a light current flowing through so I think it would be fun to take a tube and float around as if in a lazy river.

Best friends!

We’re on our way to the beach today with some friends of ours. I will take along the camera but I’m really focused on going snorkeling so I don’t know how many pics I’ll be taking. I just had to post this picture before we go. I managed to get Logan to let go of Tyler’s head so I could take this picture. Oh and Logan was winking at the camera if you can tell. That’s his new thing now. Last night at the restaurant he kept walking by people’s tables winking. I gotta get him to stop doing that!!

Our dining experience last night

Our dining experience last night, originally uploaded by lotymor.

We went to a thai restaurant last night with the Brown family. It wasn’t bad even though I’m not crazy about thai food. The boys loved the rice and ate a ton of it. We ate outside and across the street there was a local chamorran (I think) group doing a ritualistic fighting dance. It was pretty cool. I got a few pics that you can see on flickr but they didn’t come out very good.
