Home Sweet Home

We had a very exciting day today...we signed papers for our new home! We close in a week and half and could not be more thrilled. We made an offer on another house over 2 weeks ago only to find out last Thursday we didn't get it. We were pretty disappointed but didn't panic (like I always do), as we knew God had something else in mind for us! Well, He did us one better; a brand new house! We are so blessed that we are able to move. It never ceases to amaze me that God's plan is always better than my own. :)


PS: Still needs some finishing up and the new front door!

That's What Friends Are For

Today was a wonderful day spent with 2 very dear friends and their sons. Got to see Jessie and her son Ben, and Jenny and her son Zach. Jessie just moved to a beautiful new house that we got to visit for the first time, and Jenny is back from Alabama for a few days! We just found out Jenny is moving back to Houston next summer! YIPPEE! These ladies and I have been friends for a very long time, and I am so beyond blessed to have them in my life!
Taking a picture of the 3 kids was impossible...we couldn't get all of them to look at the same time! AND Morgan had a small meltdown...which is SO not like her! She was exhausted and she was also teething on top of that! :( Poor baby.

The Gang's All Here!

During the week, I watch 2 little guys in addition to Morgan! They are such sweethearts. While it does get a little busy at times, it is a lot of fun! Cullen is 3 months old and Nico is 20 months old (they are not related). When Melissa dropped Cullen off last week, he was wearing this shirt:


How CUTE is that??? She even had Morgan's picture on it and everything! I loved it!




Here's Morgan checking out his shirt....hmmm, this little guy is pretty cute!



Nico wanting to come and play with the camera :)

Happy Father's Day Dada!

Happy Father's Day to the best Dada in the whole world!
Thank you for always singing me silly songs, and for reading my favorite books over and OVER again, and for the hours and hours you play with me!
I love our special times together and can't wait for many more!
I love you!
Love, Morgan

Gymboree Play & Music

Our sweet little girl is BUSY BUSY BUSY! She is always moving at 100 mph and has so much energy. We decided to enroll her in the Gymboree Play & Music classes and she LOVES them. She climbs, runs, rolls, slides, plays with parachutes, goes over bridges, through tunnels, and up ladders. Her actual "class" is on Saturday and there's music and clapping and they work on upper and lower body strength, along with teaching them appropriate motor skills for her age level. Tuesdays and Thursday nights are "open gym" where you can go and free play. Those are her special dates with Daddy! Needless to say, when she comes home, she takes a 3 hour nap.....

Give Peas a Chance

A-Splishin and A-Splashin!

Took Morgan swimming today...she loves the water! The baby pool was great for her..it's only 1 foot deep. She wants to independently walk around in it by herself but I'm too nervous and paranoid to let her (shocking, I know). She kind of fell once and I instantly felt dizzy from worry, but she was fine.

Dancing Queen

Morgan's current favorite book is Disney's "Ballerina Princess". Each time we are done reading it , we always twirl around with her. It didn't take her long to catch on to what a twirl was! We asked her to spin and twirl tonight and this is what we got........we could barely contain our laughter! Especially when she puts her arms up like the ballerinas in the book!





Tonight we got out her pool and let her splash around in it, and guess who wanted to join her?

Memorial Day Fun

We went to Judi and George's house for a cookout today. We had a great time!
Got to see Melissa and Zach's little baby, Cullen. (I get to start watching him in 2 weeks, yippee!) Here is JD holding the little guy. Isn't he precious??


Morgan and Dada



Judi and George have a huuuge backyard and Morgan loved running around!



Running with Joey




Morgan even got to go swimming...she loved it so much! I need to get her in swimming lessons.



On a pool raft with Wendy. I forgot Morgan's hat so she borrowed Wendy's nephew's hat...she totally could pass for a boy!

Fun in Frisco!

Stayed here.....



and wanted to swim BUT,



It was pouring down rain! SO



We splashed in puddles,




Climbed in suitcases,




And jumped on beds.




The whole reason we went up there:


Seattle Sounders were playing FC Dallas (Soccer),



Plus it was Drew Carey night so fans got a pair of glasses!



All in all, a very relaxing weekend away from home!

Mother's Day

Today was a wonderfully relaxing day! We spent the day at my Mom's house and Morgan played outside with her new beach ball sprinkler and with her water table. She loooooves playing outside. Later we grilled steaks and ate way too much yummy food! Morgan and I got to curl up and take a long nap...she is the best to take naps with...just a little snuggle bunny! :) Here are some pictures of our sweet girl from today.







I love this picture of her!



Water table: $40
Beach Ball Sprinkler: $12
