Fun Facts About the Morgans

In the spirit of "Keeping it Real" I thought I would share the following "Fun Facts About the Morgans", because, well, why not?

FACT #1:  We LOVE Disney! 

It's no secret that we all love all things Disney related at the Morgan house.  Dave leads the charge and is pretty much a walking encyclopedia of Disneyland knowledge.  Seriously--if you ever need a tour guide, Disney vacation planner or need to write a term paper on the inner workings of Disneyland, Dave is your guy.  If he's otherwise occupied any one of the Morgan kids would be a close second.

FACT #2:  We're Mormon.

Duh--who DOESN'T know that?  We aren't perfect Mormons--heaven knows we have our flaws- but we love the church, we love the gospel and we love Jesus Christ.

FACT #3:  We quote TV shows--a lot.

I would say a good 75% of most of our brains are filled with movie or TV quotes.  Dave and the kids have the ridiculous ability to remember whole episodes of The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and Seinfeld and quote them at will.  We also will watch the same episodes or movies over and over and over...

FACT #4:  We have a house full of teens--and they aren't all Morgans

Teen boys playing video games and teen girls singing "Dear Evan Hansen" at the top of their lungs are two of my favorite sounds.  We love that the kids' friends feel welcome here and it's worth the price of some pizzas and soda.

FACT #5:  There are ALWAYS Oreos in our pantry.

Oreos are the perfect cooke.  The end.

FACT #6:  Except for a couple of poor, unfortunate fish, we've never had a pet.  And never will.

I just...can't.

FACT #7:  Our Sunday meals consist of potato chips, Chips A'hoy and and a pan of brownies and/or caramel corn.

I wish I was making that up.  I'm not.

FACT #8:  Homemade "meals" are a scarcity.

See FACT #7

FACT #9:  We are musical.

And by "we", I mean everyone else but me.  I also mean that they all have natural talent that was encouraged by enough piano lessons to master the basics and an inherited natural ear for music and singing.  Some of them could have probably been prodigies if we would have been on top of it, but well...there was 6 of them.  How could I possibly be on top of that???

FACT #10:  We mess up--a lot.

I hope by now that it's pretty clear that we have no interest in presenting ourselves as a perfect family.  Because we aren't.  We make mistakes--some small, some not so small.  We could stand to be more industrious, more giving, more humble, more kind.  But we are trying and somedays that's all you can ask.

We're the Morgans.  Wanna be our friend???
