melissa's day OFF!!!

So Melissa had a day off last week so we took full advantage!!! We love playing with Melissa and Asher. We started out the day at Mcdonald's at 8:30 for breakfast! After that we had a little time to kill before the museum opened so we headed over to Robert's. It is amazing how much fun Morgan and Asher can have at a craft store! Melissa and I had some fun too! Finally the museum was open!!! We went to the Gale History Museum, the kids had a blast! Lots to do!


Notice that Mo is wearing the engineer hat and Asher is wearing the bonnet.


INTENSE game of Checkers going on!


Cute tour guide teaching them about the indians.


Karlee had fun too!


There was lots more to do at the museum, but we ran out of time, we had a lunch date with Grandma Great at Su Casa! Smile Mo!!!


We went over to Grandma Great's house after lunch for more fun!


Bailee and Amber came too!

Thanks for the fun guys! Mel needs to take days off more often!

MeSQuiTe TRiP

We went to Mesquite with my parents to watch my cousin play football last weekend. The girls were angels in the car and angels on the trip. When we were getting in bed on Friday Morgan said "When we get up in the morning we will go to Disneyland!" I really need to get her back there! It was really fun to get away though. We haven't done much this summer!



This is Mo with my mom, I think that they walked around the whole Oasis hotel 20 times! Thanks mom!


Morgan loved the skywalk that connected the casino to the hotel. This is her and Karlee sitting in the window.

Twins!

I finally found something that semi matches for my girls to wear. Morgan thinks they are the same jammies so she couldn't wait to wear them. Karlee had to wear hers too since Morgan was. I ended up talking Mo into changing and waiting for it to get cold outside. But I got some cute pics in the meantime.

sHow And TeLL

Morgan had her first Show and Tell day at school and she was so excited. I asked her to find something to take and of coarse she picked every toy she had, but she isn't supposed to bring toys. She finally pulled out this necklace that she got from our Disneyland trip in March. She was so excited to tell everyone about it. I asked her what she would say and she said: " Grandma's pa (that would be my dad, mitch's dad is 'granny's pa') got me this necklace at Disneyland when we stayed in the toe-tail (hotel). We saw the sea witch too." Funny the things that stick out! I love Mo and can't believe she is big enough for Show and Tell. Wonder what she will take next week???

cheeks!

i know it has been a while since i posted, but i left my camera over at my mom's house and just kept forgetting it when i would go over. i have it now so i should be back in business. here is a little catch up!

karlee's cheeks are huge!!! i love them so much! she is only 3 months old, but she is wearing 6 month clothes! she is for sure a chunkster! she weighs 15 lbs now! i swear she is bigger then morgan was, but we will have to see at her 4 month check up. morgan was pretty big too!

Morgan Loo-Who

morgan, the hyper little thing she is, can't just walk anywhere, she must be running. therefore she falls quite a bit! she was running through my room the other day and she tripped a pillow and hit her lip on my foot board! it was a bloody mess!!! she cut the inside of her lip pretty good. it was so sad. this picture was taken the night it happend. her lip was even BIGGER the next day. she looked like a whole different girl. we joked that she was 'morgan loo-who' from the grinch who stole christmas. anyone who has kids knows that this band-aid was a must even though it was cut on the inside. it made her feel much better so she could got to sleep. her lip is looking lots better, still a little swollen, but much better! poor little morgan!

All grown up!

So anyone that has seen Morgan in the past couple of weeks knows that today is her first day of preschool. She has been so excited! She makes sure that everyone knows that she is big enough for school now. Even a stranger at Target got to hear all about it!
She is there now and the house is quiet, I should be taking advantage and getting stuff done, but instead, here I sit blogging! I am a little emotional, but I am sure I will get over that soon! Here are some pics of my girl, all grown up!




Morgan couldn't wait to go!
Here is her cool backpack! She loves Disney princesses!
Morgan is lucky enough to go to school with her cousin Asher! So cute!
This is her teacher, Mrs. Gregory. You should hear Morgan say her name!

This is Morgan sitting on the mats with her friend Callie and cousin Asher!

KARLEE'S 2 MONTH STATS

So we took Karlee in for her 2 month check up... here is how she did!

Height: 24.3" inches------97%
Weight: 13.1 pounds------95%
Head: 15.3 inches------50%

She is hanging with most of Morgan's stats, except Morgan was always about 90% for her head too! I love my big girls! I can't believe how big they get so fast!!!

Mommy moment...

Okay so it has been one of those days when I just don't know if I can be a mom again tomorrow. Karlee is fussy, Morgan is on one, I just need to sit her and think about some cute stuff so I can make it through the night! I was looking through some pics and these ones did it! They are both being so sweet in these!

Morgan loves Karlee and is always making sure that everyone knows that she is her "little sissy" and her "best friend". I love the way that Morgan takes care of her. It is seriosly so sweet to hear her talk to her when she thinks nobody is listening. To be driving in the car with Karlee fussing and Morgan telling her "We are almost home, it is okay." To be cleaning the kitchen while Karlee is napping and Morgan is playing in her room (so I thought)and hear "You are my sunshine" being sung through the monitor. The sweetest was when we were on our way to the doctor for Karlee's 2 month check-up. I had a talk with Morgan before we left about how Karlee was going to have to get some pokes (that is what we call shots). Morgan was pretty concerned. We were driving on our way to the doctor and this was the conversation...

Mo- "Oh good Mom, I am glad."
Mom- "What are you so glad about?"
Mo- "Karlee's sleepin' in her seat, now Dr. Cox won't wake her up to give her some pokes and make her cry."

I just laughed.

2 minutes later...

Mo(singing)- "Rock-bye baby on tree tops"
Mom- "What are you doing Mo?"
Mo- "Karlee wakid up, she needs to be asleep so she doesn't get a poke."

When I am having these days when I just want to rip out my hair, I find that it is good to go through pictures of all the fun, sweet things and then put the girls to sleep and kiss thier foreheads. Nothing is better then when my 2 sweet girls are sleeping at the same time!

Karlee's Blessing

We blessed Karlee on Sunday, I know it is Friday and I am barely getting them posted, I am bad, but atleast they are getting posted! We love having Karlee in our home, she is such a blessing with such a sweet spirit! Mitch gave a wonderful blessing and said all the right things. I don't know how he does it, but he wasn't a bit nervous for either of our girls' blessings.
He just gets up and gives the best blessings ever, (I am a little bias I am sure). I am so greatful for him and for the great husband and dad that he is. He truly bends over backwards for all of his girls everyday! Thanks babe!

Thanks to all of our friends and family that came to share Karlee's special day! Tara made her the cutest headband that matched her dress perfect, thanks Tara.
Stefani made her cute little bracelet, it matched perfect too, thanks!Thanks Grandma for all your hard work on the darling quilt, i don't care what you say, my boys (if I ever get any) will use it too! Thank you to all the people that came from out of town. Mike, Julie, Cody and Shellie drove all the way from Vegas just for the day! We are so lucky to have such great friends and family in our lives!
And thanks the the Academy... Oh wait--- sorry... I sound like I just recieved a Grammy or something! Sorry! We really are so thankful though! THANKS!

What do you think???

Okay so I had one of Morgan's old onsies on Karlee and couldn't resist a side-by-side comparison (or top and bottom in this case). I am not sure the age difference, I think Karlee is a little older (she sure looks bigger). I don't think they look much alike, but I think they definetly look like sisters. What do you think???

MORGAN
 

County Fair

We went to the county fair on Thursday and Morgan had a blast! The pony rides were the highlight for sure, but she had fun milking cows and petting the animals at the petting zoo. Poor Karlee had to stay covered in the whole time, dang wind, but she didn't seem to mind that either.

More Karlee

So I can't believe how much difference one little baby can make! 2 kids has been good. Lots more work then before seems like I am constantly feeding or bathing or changing diapers, but that is what newborns are all about right? It is just harder with a 3 year old helping out! Morgan is still loving having Karlee around, she misses her when she is asleep so she is constantly waking her up. She says Cock-a-doodle-doo as loud as she can right in her face! Naughty girl! She means well and is really doing a good job being a big sister!

Here are more pics that I promised. I am sorry that it has taken so long, I am a slacker, what can I say? I will do better as I figure out this new life of mine! Karlee weighed 9 lbs. 7 oz. at her 2 week appointment and is measuring 22 inches long! She is growing so fast already. She has been with us for 1 whole month now! We love her!

KARLEE JAE IS HERE!!!

Karlee Jae

9 lbs 1 0z, 20 inches long

The wait is over and our little baby girl is here! She has been here for 9 days, but I just haven't gotten around to posting yet, forgive me! She is so sweet, seriously she has been a really easy baby so far (knock on wood). She sleeps great, she hardly ever fusses, she is just SWEET! Morgan loves her so much, she has adapted pretty well so far, she is a little more dramatic, if that was possible, but she loves being a big sister! She is very possesive! I love it!
Well, I promise to post more pics later! Just needed to get something up now!
