Sorry about all the slideshows!

I find they are the quickest and easiest way to add lots of pics! Forgive me for having too many on my blog!

Fishing & Camping!

We also spent some time in the mountains this weekend, it was tons of fun! We fished a little, hiked a little, threw rocks in the river, made a fire, lots of little things that Morgan loved! We need to do this more often! Morgan loved having her own fishing pole, she would throw flowers in the lake and pull them back with her pole and get excited that she caught a flower!

We didn't leave town for Memorial so we just tried to have lots of fun around here, and we did! We went golfing, bowling, camping, fishing, we went to dinner at Spencer and Cecily's, we went to Melissa's birthday party, Macee's birthday party, Mitch and I even managed to go on a double date with Derek and Brittany! It was a busy weekend, we were all exhausted by the time it was over, but it was so fun spending time together!

I let Mo help me with the captions on the slideshow since she was sitting here on my lap (what I have left of a lap anyway)! Hope you can make sense of what we wrote!

Wheeler Farm!!!

We went to Wheeler Farm this weekend and Morgan was in HEAVEN!!! She loved all the animals so much! We were there forever and finally had to tell her that the farm was closing so that we could go home. Pretty much everyday since she has asked me if the farm was open yet! We are bad, I know, but what do you do?

SPRINKLERS!!!

Does everyone remember how warm it was last Sunday? Too bad it didn't last longer! Anyhow, we decided to let Morgan run through the sprinklers in our back yard! SHE LOVED IT!!! It was hard to get her in the house!

Sleepy Morgan

Okay so if any of you really know Morgan you know that she fights sleep like crazy!!!

She doesn't nap anymore, she wakes up about 7:30 and then fights us not to go to sleep at night. The fight usually ends around 9:30ish!

Yesterday we were sitting on the couch painting our nails. I was just finishing her second foot and she let out a huge yawn and her head fell right onto my big belly! She was out cold! Just fell right to sleep and wouldn't budge! I took advantage and finished painting her fingernails while she was holding so still.

Then I got on the phone to share the funny story that is just so out of character for her, she still slept! It was really hilarious how tired she was. I didn't let her sleep very long since it was 5:00, when she got up she was dilerious!

Anyway, this might be a story that is only funny to her mom, but I had to share! Thanks!

Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo on Saturday and had a blast!!! The weather was awesome, and Morgan was so fun! She loved everything, but her favorite was the Sand Cat, it looked just like a normal old cat, but it was her favorite! She could have looked at it all day! She wasn't very sure about the gorillas or any monkey bigger then her for that matter. It was a ton of fun though! Don't mind my HUGE belly in the pics, I know it takes up too much room, but what do you do??? [

Can I really do this???

Okay so all you mom's out there with more then one child... HELP!!!

The last two days I have had my niece, Bailee because her mom has been sick. She is 4 months only and sweet as ever, but I AM SO TIRED!!! Can I really do this? Can I handle 2 kids??? Morgan has been really good, a big helper for sure. I am just really wondering how you all do it?!

I am totally nesting so that is hard too, I feel like if I am sitting I am wasting time, but I am so tired! Tis the reason it has been so long since I updated my blog! If I am sitting I want to be sleeping!

Will having my own baby be a little easier? Will it be easier with out this GIANT belly in the way? I am really sweating what is to come in the next two months! Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for baby number 2, but the last couple days have just wore me down! Thanks for letting me vent a little! I feel better already, hahaha!

Can I do it???

Congrats to Clay!!!

My cute nephew Clay was baptized! Congrats Clay! We are so proud of you and your decision to join the church! Thanks for being such a great nephew and most of all an awesome cousin to Morgan. She is lucky to have your example in her life! We love you so much!

Isn't he cute! This picture is at one of his motorcycle races! He did so good! We can't wait for the races to start back up again! Congrats again Clay!

Happy 50th Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Today is my Grandma and Grandpa's 50th wedding wedding anniversary! They are such a good example of what I hope to be someday. I hope that Mitch and I can follow in thier footsteps and be as happy as they are when we have been married for 50 years! Congrats Gma and Gpa! The first picture was at their wedding 50 years ago and the next one is at the party we had on Saturday cutting the cake! Aren't they cute?!

Happiest Place on Earth!

Disneyland!!!

So we are back from Disneyland and we had a blast!!! Morgan was so much fun, the majority of the time, she did have some 2 year old tantrums that we could have done without, but other then that she was pretty dang good!She wouldn't take of her Minnie ears whole time, if you call them Mickey ears she is very quick to tell you they are pink so that means they are Minnie ears! Her favorite ride was the rollercoaster in ToonTown, she wanted to ride it over and over, we had to tell her it was closed! She also loved to ride Dumbo. The highlight of the trip was the charater parade, Morgan waved and waved at everyone and jumped up and down everytime somebody new came around the corner!She loved spending time with her cousins, aunts, uncles and especially grandma and grandpa! The first morning we were home she just kept asking me when we were going to the "totel" (hotel). She loved sharing a room with her cousin Asher and loved that every morning when she got up she could just go across the hall to see Grandma, Grandpa and Baby Bailee! It was a hard adjustment for all of us to be home, we want to live at Disneyland!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Okay, so the day finally came and our baby girl decided to show us what she was made of! We will be having another girl and Mitch and I are thrilled! Morgan on the other hand wasn't sure at first. We told her she was having a sister and she said "I don't want a sisser, I want a brudder." As she would here me call people on the way home she would be yelling in the background that it was a "brudder", what a little stinker she is!
Although, as the day has gone on I think she has came to terms and she is happy for a little sister now. I had to do lots of convincing telling her that she can have tea parties and play dress-up with her. She reminded me that babies can't walk but she will teach her to play Candyland. So funny! I can't believe how much she understands! She keeps pulling up my shirt and asking me what her 'sisser's' name is. I love the way she says SISSER!
Names are yet to be discussed, Mitch has been at scouts all night and has refused to talk about it until we knew what we were having! What an awful husband! Hehehe!
It feels good to finally know and to be able to report! Hope we can handle 2 girls, 1 is hard enough!!!

Difficult baby!

Ok, so many of you are asking about what we found out on Wednesday and I wish I had news! If you remember last time we went in for our ultrasound the baby was moving around like a wild child and so we didn't get a good look.
Well, this time the baby was sleeping so crammed that we again couldn't get a good look! We poked, we shook and nothing! It must have been really tired!!! I am going crazy, but I am feeling like it is another girl. I get to go in again on the 5th to see again, but I am prepared to not get to see again! Crazy child! Atleast we know that the baby is healthy, that is what REALLY matters, but it would sure be nice to get the nursery started!

I will keep you all posted as soon as there is any new news!

Conversation with Grandpa Great

Okay so Morgan and I went out to lunch with my Grandma and Grandpa today, (her Grandma and Grandpa Great).

Morgan has the sweetest relationship with her Grandpa Great and I love it! I love the sweet memories that we are building and I hope to build lots more! Grandpa has always called Morgan, Mojo. Lately Morgan thinks it is fun to argue with him if he calls her Mojo she corrects him and tells him her name is Morgan. Anyhow, I will see if I can replay the conversation as cute as it really was.

GG(Grandpa Great)- "Mojo, how is your lunch?"

M(Morgan)- "My name is Morgan not Mojo." (With a snotty little grin.)

GG- "Morgan, how is your lunch?"

M- "Pa, my name is Mojo!" (Giggling.)

Everyone laughs.

GG- "What does your Daddy call you?" (Looking in my direction for an answer.)

S (Sonya)- "I'm not sure, I think he probably uses Mo most of the time."

M- "No mom, he calle me Love!"

She was right and it was so cute! When Mitch came home today he called her that as soon as he walked in the door and it reminded me to tell him the story. It is amazing the things that little ones pick up on! I am amazed at the things Morgan has learned! Kids are wonderful!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Okay so I got a little grief about not updating my blog enough so I went a little crazy tonight! I will try to do better!

Things have been crazy around here, not sure how many people know, but Mitch is the scout master in our ward and that keeps him crazy busy! I have been doing my Scentsy stuff a little trying to get it organized. I also think I am nesting, which is nice to a point, but I feel like I am constantly going, going, going until I finally crash out at night! I am sure that Mitch is enjoying the fact that I am catching up on all the things I let go around the house when I was sick! It is nice to be feeling better! Morgan has grown out of her afternoon naps and that breaks my heart!!! That was one of the things I looked forward to everyday! I am trying to still have a quiet time around here in the afternoon, but it doesn't always go as planned!

One more week until our next ultrasound and I can hardly wait!!! It seems like a long time to wait! 7 WHOLE DAYS!!! Truly the last 3 weeks have flown by so I am sure that it will be here soon enough! I am not as strong as all of you that waited to find out what they were having! I am too much of a planner! I need to have everything ready! Maybe next time!?! I doubt it though, I am not very patient!

Morgan and Asher

Valentine's!

What a cute husband I have! Mitch always send me roses the day before Valentine's Day so that I can wake up to them on Valentine's morning. I am sure that the price of roses the day before makes an impact too, which is fine with me!!!

Anyhow, on Valentine's Mitch came home ready to cook dinner. He had steak, shrimp, and the biggest crab legs I have EVER seen!!! I love all that stuff. He came home and we cooked together, got the table set cute, put on some music and lit the candles. Morgan loved it! All but the food. She requested chicken nuggets! It was all perfect!

I am lucky to have such a great husband!

Mo's haircut!

This is Morgan getting her haircut by Brittany. I am sure that Britt wishes she never started cutting Mo's hair because I didn't even go a month before I called and said it needed to be shorter! Isn't it funny how much courage I have when it comes to cutting Mo's hair! I am so bad with mine, as bad as I want to cut it, I doubt I ever will!

Morgan wasn't very good at holding still this time either! Maybe next time! She loves to get her haircut though, Mitch went before her and we watched. She had a really hard time waiting! She still tells everyone she sees that she got her haircut even though it has been atleast 2 weeks, maybe even 3!

Thanks for being so patient Britt! We love you!

Potty Training VICTORY!?!

Okay, so I think it is safe to day that Morgan is potty trained!!! Woo-Hoo!!! She hasn't had an accident in 2 weeks. I dare to leave the house without putting a pull-up on now. She is good to tell me when she needs to go and I don't have to ask her every 5 minutes! I am very excited about this! Does anyone have any tips for nights though? I still make her sleep in a pull-up (even though she hates every second of it) and she wakes up sopping wet! When is it safe to let her sleep in big girl panties???

Baby news...

Well, Wednesday finally came it is was the day we were going in for the BIG ultrasound to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. It was extremely hard to wait clear until 4:00 in the afternoon to go in, but we made it! I drank all the water I was supposed to so my bladder would be nice and full and we wouldn't miss anything! We were so excited we ended up getting there pretty early, so we drove around to get a good spot, it was freezing! Then we headed into office and didn't have to wait too long, but of coarse it seemed like FOREVER!!! I am sitting there waiting with my legs crossed, rocking back and forth, trying so hard to keep my bladder full without having a problem when they finally call us in to the ultrasound room.
We proceed in and I get up on the table lay down all ready to go. The ultrasound was really neat, it was a 3D ultrasound so we got to see things pretty clear! It was amazing! So the doctor goes through his list, yep, 2 legs, 2 arms, the heart is beating, bladder, liver, all the goods. And that was all great to hear, top priority is a healthy baby for sure. But really I wanted to know if it was a boy or a girl!!! So by the time he gets to that part, last of coarse, the baby is moving around like crazy! Summersalts, flips, this baby is a gymnast! He says he has some bad news. The baby won't hold still long enough to let him see for sure what it is! He tries to take a photo of it, but it just won't hold still! I may have another wild one on my hands!
So, we have to wait 4 more weeks and have another ultrasound to determine the baby's sex! DANG!!! I don't know if I can do it! My grandma reassured me that I could wait since she waited the whole time with all 7 of hers, but it sure sounds like a long time to me! Our new appointment will be on Feb. 27th and hopefully the baby will cooperate this time!
