Mommy's Helper

Mommy: Morgan, where did all the toys go??

Morgan: Sadie wants to play.

Need I say more?

For "Damma"

Here's Morgan's contribution to the Christmas Tree this year. She thought everyone needed gifts under the tree. (I don't have anything under the tree this year because I requested a new microwave, and it's already installed).
I asked Morgan who the gifts were for and at first she wouldn't tell, but then she revealed that there is one for Mommy, one for Daddy, one for Sadie, and one for Morgan. I hope mine is the...Lego box!!! Oh, Brian helped with the "bows" on top.

Christmas Parties

It's that time of year again. Time for Christmas Parties and, along with them, silly party games. Here's Brian's artwork. Look at it first, and after you've come to your own conclusions about what it's supposed to be, I'll tell you at the end.

Here's the artist in action!

"Well, I think it looks like..."

The final product. Can you find: a christmas tree, a star on top of the tree, a present under the tree and an ornament on the tree? Good luck!

Baby Boy Ben Coming After Christmas!!

Well, that's what Afton says when she's referring to her soon-to-be brother. Courtney, here's a sneek peak of the blanket. Just remember, I secretly want to keep it because it's so dang cute! Here's Morgan, modeling it for me to take a picture.

Sadie's Getting Bigger

This post is just for our sweet angel, Sadie. Despite being almost 17 lbs. (actual weight: 16 lbs, 12.5 oz) at her 4 month check up (translation: a LOAD to carry around!), she is such a doll and we're so lucky to have Sadie in our family.

Here's Sadie sleeping in the swing.

This week, I discovered that Sadie is ticklish. The best spot is the bottom of her rib cage. Don't you just love her laugh???

Blog Backgorund Troubles

So, I've quizzed a bunch of people about how to change my blog background and Ashlyn and Tiffany even sent me instructions, which I, apparently, am too dumb to follow because I could never get it to work just right. Today, I am smart enough!
I found a website, Simply Chic Blogs and found a cute background, AND I got it to work! If you're looking for cute backgrounds, check this site out!

Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm into the polka-dot theme these days! Morgan's pajamas, t-shirts, Sadie's outfits, and now my blog!

"If she wasn't so dang cute!"

That's what a lady said to me when I took a sccreaming Morgan into the hall today. But, then she praised me by saying, "Way to stick with it, Mom!"

You know it must be cold in your house when...

...you walk into the bathroom and see your two year-old like this:It's been pretty chilly the past couple of days and the HIGH in our house is lower than the LOWEST temperature I saw on the thermostat at my parents' in San Diego last week!

Morgan figured out that the hot air was coming out of the vent. I walked into my bathroom, only to see her content to squat over the warmer air. I guess she was a little cold before she got into the tub!

We Made it Home!!

And, I LOVE Brian!

When I left on Thursday, the kitchen looked like this:

When I came home today, it looked like this:

Thank you, Alie and Tyler for getting married!! I haven't even used it yet, but I love my new microwave and can't wait to pass the old one on to you!

Oh, and by the way, here are a few pictures from our trip. BTW, Dad--the airport was EMPTY today! We were checked in and through security in under 10 minutes.

Sadie, sleeping on the plane.

Auntie Logan and Sadie, playing on the floor.

Sadie has discovered real food (my mom fed her like 5 grains of spanish rice at the restaurant). She thinks it's quite tasty!

Here's Sadie and Kaden, her future hubby. Kaden is 6 weeks and Sadie is 4 months. Now that all the adults know we're arranging marriages for our daughters, just keep it on the DL so they don't object when they're older! We'll make them think they fell in love on their own!

Here's Mackenzie, Sadie, Lauren, and Kaden. Lauren and I have been best friends since we were 9 and it's been so fun to have babies together this time around! This is Lauren's first. Even though we live in different states, we always have great times together!

I'm So Proud of Myself!!!

For all of you that don't know, I went to San Diego for the weekend, because my little sister, Alex, received her endowment. She's getting married to Tyler in December. Long story short, I'm still here. But, because I'm still here, I got to do something that I thought was really cool!

S0, Alex, even though you could have done this in 5 minutes or less, I spent about 2 hours. But, I'm so proud of myself, because I learned how to photoshop! Here's the final product. I hope you like it!

As for the rest of the pictures of my trip (well, the pictures of Sadie), I'm still not home yet, so I will upload those when I return to Denver this evening (hopefully).
