Happy Birthday Morgan!

I can't believe Morgan has turned three! I am sure every parent goes through this but it is CRAZY, it happened so fast! She has been SO funny lately...a little pill...but funny!

~ She was going upstairs to our room the other day and Whitney was sleeping on our bed so Jeff was trying to get her attention to stop and she turned around and says, "Easy tiger!"

~ We were driving the other day and Jeff and I were talking and Morgan was just jabbering in the back then she stops and says, "Do you understand Daddy?"

~ She was eating a snack the other day and I asked her if she liked it and she looks at me and says, "This is scrumptious Mommy!"

~ Sometimes she just starts talking and I have no idea what she is saying so I usually say something like I don't understand or what you talkin' about Willis. Anyway, now Morgan when she doesn't get it she usually says, "What cho talkin' bout Willis?"

Anyway, she wanted a castle cake for her birthday and well this is the outcome...

I don't know if I would call it a castle, maybe I could call it the leaning tower of sugar! I am afraid my cake decorating skills are lacking!



Look at that lean! I am surprised it stayed up! haha


Birthday Princess!


She got a new tricycle....we bought this at the beginning of the year on a toy clearance and now I am wondering if I should have just gotten her a small bike instead.


For playgroup we went to a place called Hudson Gardens and it was really pretty especially with all of the fall colors (oh how I LOVE fall!) This is a shot of Whitney and her future husband Aiden :) He is three months younger than Whitney but you would never guess it, just look at those CHEEKS! I love it!



Morgan loved the hay maze!



They had a pretty pathetic pumpkin patch, most of the pumpkins were rotting, but they did have some big ones!


Morgan hanging out with the girls, it doesn't matter how old the kids are she thinks she is just their size. She always goes up to new kids and says, "Hi! I am Morgan, what's your name?" She is our little social butterfly. Lately she is very concerned that everyone has a Halloween costume. Morgan has known what she was going to be for months. So every time we stop and chat with someone including random people at the grocery store or anything she asks them what they are going to be and if they don't know she comes up with a bunch of ideas of what they should be.


She was so funny, she was trying to cross her legs and she just couldn't get them to stay.


Whitney just hanging out, she loves to be in the stroller.



Mommy and the birthday girl. :) She is really a sweet girl and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. We LOVE LOVE LOVE you Morgan!

The Rest of September :)

At the end of September we drove over to Utah. Jeff went to see the BYU football game and came back home the next day and while I went to Idaho for the rest of the week. Here are a few pictures:


Morgan was so excited to wear her "BYU dress"


Whitney would not take her eye off my brothers dog.


We were gone during Jeff's birthday (I know I am an awful wife, I still feel bad) Anyway, I got him beatles rockband for his x-box a few days before his birthday. I did try to celebrate before we left with his favorite meal and I took cupcakes to his softball game. I don't think I want to miss his birthday again.


Morgan rocking out!


Jeff telling his girls thanks for the gift.


While I was in Idaho I got to see a lot of old friends, too bad I forgot to take pictures with all of them!!! This is my good friend Noelle who is an AMAZING mom and expecting baby number FOUR! :)


This is mine and Jeff's good friend Nicole. We were all friends in college and without her there may have been no Jeff and Kim :) Thanks Nicole! ;)


My sweet Mom and Dad.


Morgan was in heaven, Grandma let her have all the popsicles she could eat!


My mom makes the best wheat bread! So we watched her make it in hopes that I could recreate the goodness!!!


Whit just watching us make bread.


I went and took a tour of the student center at BYU-I that they are re-doing...it is AMAZING!


Morgan, Whitney, and I went to school with Grandma, and Morgan was IN HEAVEN! It was so cute to watch her! When we first went in Grandma's room she ran up to the front of the classroom where Grandma was and wasn't shy at all. After a big fit she finally came to the back of the class with me. :) I love this picture because all the kids were lining up for lunch and Morgan just went with them and did it without being told. The sweet girl, almost every night she prays that she can go to school...it is going to be a long three years!


Grandma and Morgan at lunch. School lunches where I grew up were awesome, I was SO excited to go to get school lunch with my mom! Is that pathetic?


Go Cardinals! They made the playoff's, unfortunately they didn't make it far, there is always next year right? ( I forgot I put that flower in my hair, does anyone else do that? When I clean up I tend to put thing in my hair and pockets. It happens a lot, so if any of you see me walking around with a random flower or bow on my head, please let me know : ) )


There were four girls from our ward that had birthdays right in a row, so we decided to go celebrate by going to a karaoke bar! haha, it was SO fun! We all want to go back for date night! Thanks for the fun time ladies!!!

Lindsey showing a sign of her old age, rubbing some bengay on her poor legs! :) haha, ok, she is pregnant, but I had to make sure we got a picture of that! We love you Lindsey!


Steph and Wylie breaking it down to Womanizer. :)


We sang, Girls Just Want to Have Fun....this song went on...and on...and on...



Whitney is teething, she isn't a great teether, so one day I had it and I found a piece of black licorice for her to chew on it and she was loving it! (Does that make me a bad mom?)


Whitney's first meal of spaghetti
