Morgan impersonating Uncle Russ then Ariel

Toys R Us

We took Morgan to Toys R Us today because we had no clue what to get her for her birthday. We decided to let her roam around and see what she latched on to. It worked. She carried this Ariel doll around the store all the way to check out. When you ask Morgan "what does Ariel say?", she responds with the Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh, like when Ariel is giving her voice to the sea witch. So cute. We'll try to get it on video :)

Where's Morgan?

Labor Day Fun

We got to squeeze in one more swim before the official end of summer at Aunt Linda's this weekend. Morgan and Bentley had a big time playing together. Cee bought them matching dresses, and I must say, they look super cute :) As always, our Arkansas family was incredibly hospitable with their homes and kitchens! Thanks and we will try to make the trip again soon!

More Beach Pics

Thanks to Leslie's super picture taking abilities, we have some more precious pics of our girls at the beach.

Beach Trip

We just got back from a great beach trip with the McCarras and Ezelles. Unfortunately, the Ezelles had to leave early due to an illness, so we missed hanging with them! But Morgan had a great time and took to the water and beach like a pro. She loved the kiddie pool, and I did too considering the child WILL NOT wear floaties to save her life. She had a blast the one evening we walked down to the beach. It was pretty funny, Hayes is fearless in the pool while Morgan stays close to the edge. Morgan is fearless when it comes to the beach and sand, while Hayes refused to let her feet touch anything - sand or ocean. Enjoy my random assortment of pics. Hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of summer!

Taking it all in. She seriously had so much fun. This year was so much easier than last year. Hopefully things will continue to get easier and easier with this one now that we're adding #2!

Morgan's news

Morgan has some good news to share. She and I sat down to color everyone a picture, but Morgan decided mommie should do the drawing while she counted the crayons over and over. If you can't read it, the paper (and t-shirt) say Morgan is going to be a BIG sister! Some time at the end of February our family will increase by one!

Morgan recently decided that Ruben needs to be hand fed, one morsel at a time. Poor pup, he just stands there and lets her shove it in. When handing him a piece, she says "hee boy" (here boy) and then "goo dog" (good dog). When he gets tired of the game, she chases him all over the house until he relents and lets her feed him again. I think Morgan may have inherited some of her Uncle Russ' hazing genes...

Trip to Cape Girardeau

We took Morgan to visit her Aunt Sissy for the weekend in Cape Girardeau. Morgan had a big time playing with "Baxter" the family dog. I sure hope he has recovered from all the hazing Morgan put him through. Aunt Sissy was an amazing host, cooked LOTS of delicious food for us and showed us around town. Here are some unorganized pictures of Morgan at an exotic petting zoo, the playground, the duck pond and around the house. We will definitely be making a return trip. Hope everyone had a great 4th!
