The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

Trying to catch up

Since my last post it is has crazy with the end of school happening. For Taylor we have her 4th grade field trip to Jefferson City and we had a blast. It was a long bus ride with about 45 kids but we all made it. Then it was time for the 4th grade farewell party. In our school district elementary ends at 4th grade. We had t-shirts made up for the kids to keep. During the party we had tons of food and they all just got to hang out with NO RULES. The loved it. It was sad...I have known most of these kids since they were in kindergarten and they are all grown up. Taylor is now off to 5th grade at Fire Praire. I know she will do great.

We also had a end of the year party for Kaylie's class. The class has been together for kindergarten and 1st grade. She has one of the best teachers out there. Not only did Mrs K teach my daughter so much she is part of our family. I truly love her...she will always be a part of us. The party was really fun. Mrs. K read aloud a poem she did, it explained something about each of her students. Kaylie's read "Can read about any book". I am so proud of Kaylie is reading on a 4th grade level and is only in 2nd grade. It pays off to have an AWESOME teacher!!!

Jalinn and Hunter are doing great. Jalinn has finally figure out how to roll over. Of course, I was not home to see it. But she did do it again for me when I got home. She is growing up. Hunter is finally potty trained!!!!! No more diapers for him. He is doing so good. Jason told him that he is starts to go potty on the potty chair he can go hunting. Hunter is ready to go hunting now.

Now it is time to get ready for the big birthday bash on June 10th. With Taylor, Kaylie and Hunter's birthday being all in May, June and July we are having one big party. Can't wait for the party.

  1. Sounds like life has been busy! YAY for Jalinn rolling around! I remember when Caitlyn started doing that - seems like she rolled forever before she started army crawling. Hanna rolled for awhile.

    Can't wait to see pictures from the big birthday day! We just had Hanna's 1st Birthday yesterday and I am so glad that it's over!! :-)
