Why does time have to slip away from me? I've made a resolution to take more pictures of my kids, especially Sandon. Look at how much he has already grown. He can sit up in his dinner chair all by himself. I need to get more videos of him talking to himself. It cracks me up everytime and Dave just looks at me like I'm going crazy or something.
We had Teagan's little boyfriend Justin over for breakfast bright and early this morning. Mo and Teag love to have him over for playdates, they all play really well together. But I wanted to make sure that these kids would stop playing and eat so I made a little treat. Mickey Mouse Chocolate Chip Pancakes. It took me way back. Mom would make
chocolate chip pancakes and Mickey Mouse pancakes but I don't ever remember having the two put together. Anyway, breakfast was a success. Justin ate better than the girls, which is unusual at my house.
My "Little Mo" turned 5 today. The elephant in the picture is named Squirt Elle and shares the same birthday as Morgan. You can't really tell from the pictures, but she has a matching pink sequin purse to accessorize with her evening gown. Not to be left out, Teagan had to have her picture taken with her build-a-bear too (and I can't remember her name). Morgan is really looking forward to her party on Saturday. In fact, she has refused to recognize this day as her
official birthday. She says that it's not really her birthday until she has her friends come over for her birthday party. She wants everybody to yell "Surprise!". She makes me laugh. We are going to have a dozen 4/5 year olds at our house, and I am going to try and keep them entertained for an hour and a half. Wish me luck, this should be fun.
I have to take pictures like this to prove to some people that Dave can be silly, just like the rest of us. Last week we wrote and drew letters to send to Chris on his mission. Morgan's letter had a drawing of a motorcycle. I printed off some pictures of Chris on his mission so the girls could see where he was and what he was doing. It sure looks cold up there in Alaska, Brrr!
This is what it usually looks like outside our house at 10:30 pm...dark.
It feels weird to me when it's actually lighter outside than it is in my house. When you can see the detail of barren branches in the neighbors yards.
If you look closely, you should be able to pick out the deer tracks leading away from my house. Can you see them?
This is Cool Kid Sis Catie, modeling her new Christmas present from Dave, myself, and the kids.
This is almost as angelic as it gets, folks. This face just may get her on Santa's good list.
I'm going to title this photo, "Big Man, Little Man".
I think I will start a series called, "According to Morgan". Where I will attempt to caption her photos. This is Dave's graduation according to Morgan. The reason her pictures are blurry is because "someone" touched the lens. The pics are still really fun and have a surreal feel to them.
