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.

Serve2011

This past Sunday our church did community service throughout our city of Archie.  We cleaned up trash that was on the side of the roads and in the creeks and by the railroad tracks and all over the city.  We had 41 people from all ages help out.  It was wonderful to help serve God but also my community.  Since Jason had to work I had all 4 kiddo's with me, thankful Whitney and Kendall where there to help out with the kids.  All 41 of us split up into teams that where color codes for each area and got to work.  We had the BLUE area so we named ourselves the BLUE CREW.  It was a lot of fun.  I can only hope that my kiddo's got something from it and will contuine to want to give back.  Our goal was to see if anyone would stop and help us out, sad to say that didn't happen but we had several people stop and say thank you.  It was a great feeling to get just the thank you's.

  2. What a great project. I know the kids got something out of it. You are really teaching them good morals and values. Keep up the good work mom! Jalinn smiling in her car seat is really a precious picture!
