{family love}

I'm just gonna say it.

My family is amazing.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday we went to the aquarium. We bought a membership, because it was cheaper that way.

Friday just so happens to be the same day all of the schools go to the aquarium for a field trip. oh joy. We were constantly counting heads and making sure they were the right heads. I almost started herding a group of little boys the same size as ours, but then I noticed "Oh. These aren't our boys." Oops. I apologize to any parent I might have freaked out. I really wasn't trying to kidnap your children.

Aside from being extra careful not to lose any Morse kids, we had a great time! But as a little "note to self" thingy... It's extremely hard to get good pictures when your in a dark aquarium. I used my flash twice, but then I turned it off because I didn't want to blind any fish. Or people.  That's my excuse for the dark, blurry pictures.




Ben isn't a huge fan of getting his picture taken. Especially with me ;)


Jake, on the other hand, is always ready and willing to jump in!


Blessing was enthralled by the glass and water. The fish almost went unnoticed. :)


But the butterflies are a different story. One landed on her arm and she stared at it.


It was adorable. Just sayin'.


Our aquarium has the longest escalators. Which is cool, cause our family loves escalators.



He's too cool to smile.


happy belated birthday to the best daddy ever. I love you.


I'll admit it. Penguins are pretty cute.




This is my favorite picture ever. Every one's personality comes out. It's amazing. <3


Jelly fish! They're my favorite.

"I shall name him squishy..."




Dark room with mirrors + my un-suspecting brothers = perfect time for a flash pictures. :)


Emma was all smiley and adorable, and her brothers....crazy


What do we do with the "mirror" windows? Take pictures. What else?

I just thought of this...there were probably people on the other side laughing at us.



Daddy and his iPad.



Mama and 2 of her boys. :)




Blessing's little legs can only walk for so long.





sweetest 3-year-old-kid ever.

There's our family Friday for ya. It's late. I'm tired. Goodnight.

{a better kind of beautiful}

Dear girls, 
 Stop it. 
 Stop despising the way you look. Stop critiquing everything about yourself. Stop looking in the mirror only to cringe and tell yourself that you aren't good enough, aren't thin enough, aren't beautiful enough. 
 Stop wasting time beating yourself up because you don't meet the standards this world pushes us to meet. 
 This world tells us that we must look and act a certain way. It not only fills our eyes and minds with the picture perfect model-like figure and face, but it tells us what we can do to alter ourselves in order to achieve it. We have to wear certain clothes, do our makeup in an all out kind of way, color our hair, pluck our eyebrows, lose weight, gain weight...all to be "acceptable", all to be "beautiful". 
 But the focus is wrong. The focus is wrong, the goal is wrong, the standard is wrong...the result is worthless. 
 Ladies listen: I'm not here to tell you that you're beautiful just the wa

Tomorrow I’ll hear all kinds of details about what the Easter bunny brought...about how much fun it was to dye eggs...about the new dress that was bought and all the pictures mom made them take before AND after church... But will I hear about Jesus? Will I SPEAK about Jesus? Did Jesus play a bigger role in my day other than #HeIsRisen? Who is risen? Risen from what?  Jesus Christ ...the Son of God the most high. The King of the world.  Perfection personified. Holiness embodied. Righteousness displayed.  Jesus Christ ...Willing to submit to His Father, living a life of humble obedience.  Leaving His throne on high.  Entering a world full of sin in order to speak of the Kingdom of God.  Living a sinless, perfectly righteous and holy life...such that no one else could possibly even imagine living.  Suffering persecution, beatings of the worst kind because of His claim to be the Son of God and the long-awaited Messiah. And dying... Jesus Christ ...

{dear daddy}

After trying and trying to determine what kind of guy I wanted as a husband I finally came to a decision that I believe most girls come to at some point. I prayed a prayer that went something like this: Dear God, please bring me a man just like my daddy. Because, you now what? My daddy is the best guy. When I was little he was my hero, and that hasn't changed one bit as I have grown up...in fact it has just become so much more true. He is my hero .   My dad is an imperfect human, just like the rest of tus. He is a sinner. He struggles with stuff. He doesn't know everything .  But he is still my hero...you know why? Well, I guess I'll tell you. He's my hero because: God is his first priority.   For years I have sat in the congregation on Sunday morning and heard my dad preach the Truth. For years I have sat around our kitchen table and listened to him talk to us about Jesus and helping us to understand more. For years I have heard he and my mom talk
