January 2011. . . . Day 1

We rang in the new year in Lake Tahoe. As we arrived a snowstorm came in with brute force. Through the day and overnight we saw more than 3 feet of snow pile up. We awoke to find our cars buried and the realization that we were snowed in. This didn't stop the kids (or even the adults for that matter) from building a sledding hill in the back that rivaled all sledding hills. This was just the beginning of what would be a GREAT vacation!

day 214

Texans certainly know how to eat, and eat well is what we did while in Dallas. We had Chicken Fried Steak as big as a frisbee and enough fajitas to serve an army. Down home southern cooking at it's finest!

day 114

Happy Independence Day! We celebrated with family in Dakota City, Nebraska. The boys had a great time lighting off fireworks (the kind you cannot set off in California).

day 99

we enjoyed an evening in San Francisco at AT&T park and watched the Giants play Baseball. After 11 innings, the Giants came out on top 2-1 against the Texas Rangers. It was a beautiful evening.

Day 91

The Ping Pong has gotten serious!

Day 90

We had lunch at a wonderful place in Davis, The Mustard Seed, before attending Angela's graduation from UC Davis with a PhD in Genetics.

Day 89

One of our FAVORITE places to eat.....Chipotle Mexican Grill.

Home again....

We just returned home from a little get-a-way for Memorial Day weekend. I have pictures loading and will post soon. I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Day 38

Before we all headed our separate ways after Grandpa's 80th Birthday, we snapped a quick family photo. Who really knows when we will have all of us together in one place again? It could be a while.

Hughes-Morrell Family Reunion

a little bit about us

Tanner (17) is a Junior at Whitney High School. He is starting on the Varsity Football Team as a Strong Safety this fall and leads the team with his defensive stats. He enjoys training for triathalons, wrestling, golf, and hanging out with his friends. He is a great student and does very well in school.

Taylor (17) is an up and coming actor. He made his High School debut as “Lumiere” in a production of “Beauty and the Beast”. He was one of two freshman cast in the play and was the star of the show in his lead role. He most recently performed in a production of The Wedding Singer. He is currently rehearsing for a production of "Savior of the World" that will be on stage in November 2010. He is a great student and excels academically.

Riley (13) is a great baseball player, soccer player, flag football player, and wrestler. He is playing his first season of Tackle Football. Great things come in small packages and if given a chance to watch Riley compete you will know what I mean. He is tough, resilient and doesn’t let even the tallest and biggest opponent scare him away. He has sent quite a few to the sidelines surprised by his tenacity.

Zach (10) loves to play baseball and soccer. He has found a new love of reading and we can’t seem to keep his book collection up to date. He recently began taking piano lessons and has found a love for music. When he is not playing the piano you might find him playing video games, playing with friends or watching Mythbusters. He is such a joy in our life.

Chris is coaching baseball and working hard. He recently went back to school to study Healthcare Administration. His true love is watching his children play baseball, football, soccer, wrestle and perform.

Katie is enjoying the little things in life that bring happiness. Always on the lookout for a new project or something to create. She enjoys updating our family blog, photography and trying to keep up with the boys and all their activities and adventures.
