Morgan is 3 today!!!!

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago, Morgan was born!! She came into this world and completely changed our lives! She has grown so fast before our eyes, and it has been amazing to see how much she's changed. I'm so proud of her- she's starting to be such a big girl...going to the potty(Hallelujah!!!), dressing herself, using the big-girl cup, playing pretend, singing songs, counting to 15, and all kinds of new things that she's learning everyday. I am proud to see the kind of girl she's turing out to be.
We celebrated her birthday this past Saturday at our house. We decorated with The Little Mermaid decorations and I made her a cake and decorated it with blue icing and yellow shells with The Little Mermaid candle. She was so happy to have all of the attention! We played pin the crown on Ariel's head. We were going to get a pinata, but no one had any...I also didn't have a lot of time to make invitations because school occupies a lot of my time. But my entire family was there.
Anyways, my Morgy is growing up! It's kinda sad to me sometimes, but I'm happy to see her grow!

New Years...

We went to San Antonio for New Years and stayed at Andrew's dad's house. It was nice chill with everyone because they were finally on vacation. Usually we don't get to spend much time with them.

We didn't get to pop fireworks because they had a ban there, but we had a big bar-b-que and everyone was there. Hehehehe...even Andrew's drunk uncle Alfred....hehehe that was a show! Poor thing was wasted and was saying all kinds of crazy things! I think that was the highlight of the evening! Andrew suggested we sound off our car alarms at midnight since we couldn't pop fireworks and that's what we did! hahahaha! I wish Andrew's brother Jonathon still had his train horn on his truck, that would have been hilarious!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was pretty awesome this year! We had Andrew's Dad and his girlfriend, Andrew's brother, cousin, and grandma and grandpa come for Christmas Eve. And my mom, two brothers and my sister spent the night also on Chistmas Eve....So when we woke up Christmas morning, it was amazing! Morgan immediately saw what Santa brought her and Emily- it was so great to see their faces light up!

I played Santa and distributed gifts. Everyone was so happy and I'll never forget it! Andrew's dad just adores our girls.

We made gingerbread cookies the night before and were munching on them all day. My Gran made her famous fudge and magic cookie bars-heaven!! Then we made a huge Christmas dinner. It was so funny, it was kinda like my first time making everything. I got a 21 lb. turkey because there was going to be more people coming over to eat. Well that was stupid because I couldn't put anything in the oven with it because it took up the whole thing! So dinner was a little late, but it was good!

Anyway this Christmas was one of the best ones I ever had and I'll never forget it!

Happy Halloween!!!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I LOVE Halloween!! Andrew does too, so that makes it even more fun for me!! Morgan didn't really remember very much about the holidays last year-except for Santa Claus of course...But this year is gonna be fun for sure!! She gets the whole idea of dressing up and saying trick-or-treat! Anything with candy gets her attention! And-- Emily is starting to walk, so she is going to be so cute!!

Morgan is going to be Jasmin from the movie Aladdin, and Emily will be a bumble bee!!

I carved the one with the wolves and Andrew did the witch one!

Oh and in case you notice the pink base trim, it's the original color from when we moved in and we haven't painted yet. Andrew just put up the crown moulding and we plan on getting to it when he gets back, hopefully!! We made a lot of improvements on the house since we moved in. I hope that we will be able to redo the kitchen and bathrooms one day....

I will post some better pics up after tomorrow.

Happy Halloween!!!

our new truck

We just got a new truck yesterday and we love it! It's so perfect for us. We have been needing a truck to haul stuff with for a long time, and this truck is great. It's amazing to me how much room there is in the back. We have 2 car seats and an adult could sit comfortably between both. We thought it would be more on gas, but it's actually around the same or better than the Expedition that we had. So this is perfect! It was so nice to ride in a new truck. Our Expedition was already 10 years old and it had 170,000 miles on it. I'm glad we traded it in before we had to do a major repair.

Yay!
