Happy 4th Birthday Morgan!

I can't believe that my baby girl turned four today. Boy, where does the time go? To help her celebrate her big day my family joined us and we all went to the circus. We all had a wonderful time and I couldn't think of a better way to help her ring in her big day. I love you Morgan. No matter what, you will always be my sweet baby girl.

Black Widow

About a month ago Stephen was out in his shop and I was in bed reading and he came into the house shouting that he just killed a black widow spider in his shop. I was like ya, ya. Well tonight he came in the house saying that he found another one and wanted to know if I wanted to see it before he killed it. So I had to see it to believe it because these things can kill you. They are very poisonous. So when I went out to the shop to see for myself and boy was I shocked when I saw it. I made him kill it before I got close to it or took pictures of it. It is kind of gross but you can see the red hour glass on the bottom side of it. Cool but creepy! I don't think I will be going out in the shop anymore by myself. Yikes!! Just glad it was out there and not in my house. Hope they stay out there!

Notice the red hour glass shape design on the bottom side. That is their trade mark.

Peek A Boo I See You!

This morning I reached into the cabinet in the kitchen to grab Morgan a sippy cup and when I turned my eyes caught this. It freaked me out at first to see two big eyes staring back at me. Woody, is that you?? It is a bag of Toy Story party supplies for Morgan's birthday party. It is a cup that has Woody on it and the bag was positioned just right to look as if Woody was peeking out of it. To funny. Had to share it with everyone.

Let's Build A Bear!

It's Build a Bear day! Today I took Morgan, Lauren and her best friend Elizabeth to Build A Bear and then we had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe for part of her birthday celebration . It was lots of fun. The girls all had a great time. I don't know who was more beat, me or the kids! Happy early birthday Morgan!

First Broken Bone

Tonight at the ranch while playing ball with paw paw in the hallway, Morgan accidentally shut her finger in the hallway door and smashed her finger. Since we couldn't get the finger to stop bleeding and it was swelling up really bad we decided to take her to the ER. Three hours later and four xrays later we found out that she has a tuft fracture to her little pinkie finger and the cut does not need a stitch. So they bandaged her finger up, and gave a prescription for some antibiotics and we were out the door. Being at the ER till one in the morning is not fun with a 4 year old. Hope we never have to make that trip again.

My poor little sweet heart.

Stephen did really well. He handled it way better than I did, which was a big shock to all.

This is a picture of Morgan's finger after the dressing came off. She is for sure going to loss that nail I think. Ouch!!!

Our Pottery!

We received our pottery today that we did last week. I think that they both turned out really cute.

Morgan's kitty cat bank that she painted all by herself. I did help her with the whiskers and eye brows.

This is the plate that I did to hang in my kitchen. This is Morgan's hand print in the center. Love it and know that I will treasure it always!

Six Flags Or Bust!

Since the girls had finished swim classes, we decided to take the girls to Six Flags today. We were not sure how the weather would hold up because there was a high chance of rain and boy was the weather man right for once. We were having lots of fun and then while we were on the mine train the bottom feel out and we got completely wet. I'm not talking a little wet, I'm talking completely soaked from head to toe. So while waiting for the rain to stop we rode the train and then we decided to take a break and head to the car and have our picnic lunch and dry off. Me and Lori had to buy two tee shirts because we just couldn't stand being that wet. Lucky Lauren dried out quickly and I happened to bring an extra change of clothes for Morgan just in case. Not one of her best looks but hey, it was dry! Once we got back in the park we rode a couple more rides and then the rain came again. This time we ran for shelter. After waiting for the rain to stop we finally had had enough and decided to call it a day. We were all tired after our long week of fun and our daily swim lessons. We will defiantly be back on a much more sunny day.

Skating

We took the girls skating today. Lauren is a pro with her own skates. Morgan did pretty I good for it being her first time. Lori had to show off by skating backwards and made me really look bad. I can report that I didn't fall one time. Yeah me! Morgan had a blast and I think that we will defiantly be back again.

Morgan showing us her cool moves.
