Learning to Blog

Hi to all members of the Byrne clan.  This is: Dad, Poppa, Grandpa or Uncle Charlie etc.  I have never participated in an internet blog before.  I will promise to try and participate in the future. You will have to excuse me if I am not up to speed on all things "computer".  I am from a generation that grew up playing "kick the can" in the middle of the street rather than sitting in front of a computer playing video games.  Other games we played included "hide and go seek", and "spin the bottle".  The latter was the most fun.  We would take a milk bottle (anyone remember what a milk bottle" is.  Anyhow, girls and boys would sit in a circle and spin the bottle. When the bottle stopped it pointed towards someone who then could pick anyone from the group and kiss them (boys kissing girls and vice versa).  Regards to all,  CLB

Congratulations!

Just a few Morris family summer pictures

Here are some pictures showing a few things that our family did this summer.

We spent a weekend in beautiful Lake Tahoe.We took a tram to the top of the ski resort, and enjoyed the beautiful view! We also got to visit Uncle Dale and Aunt Margaret while we were there. It was also fun to see our cousin Jenny. It was great to visit with everyone in such a great atmoshere!

This summer McKayla raised a lamb to show in our county fair. It was a good experience for her and she had a lot of help from her entire family. Her lamb weighed 114 lbs, and at times was very difficult for a 50 lb girl to handle, but she did great and got 1st place in her class as well as placing 25th out of 350 lambs. Not to bad for a first timer! Poppa and Shirley were nice enough to make the long trip to Utah and watch her show "Mater". It is always fun to have them visit our home!

Here is a picture of the kids at one of their favorite places, Bear Lake! They enjoyed Labor Day sun bathing and playing in the sand.

These are just a few of the fun things we did this summer. I will post some more pictures from our famiily vacation to Yellowstone when we get home.

Love,

The Morris Family

Hello from the Morris family!!!!

Hello Byrne relatives,

This is Keri Beth (Shirley) Morris. I am Marlene's oldest daughter. I am going to try this whole blog thing. It is all new and foriegn to me! I am not sure if I am clever enough to figure it out, but I will give it a try. I am hoping to get educated enough to get a blog going for my family in the near future. I will try to get information and photo's to everyone this way first. I think it is a great way to stay involved with everyone's busy and expanding families.

My husband David and I are celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary this week. We are going to take the kids to Yellowstone for the weekend. We have three kids, and another one will join us in December. We have 2 girls and 1 boy, and the new baby is going to be another girl as well.

I guess we will see if I can figure this out!

I hope you all have a great week!

Love,

Keri Beth
