OUCH!

Bumps, scrapes,broken bones, and now her first little surgery. Morgan as I mentioned before is fearless. She has in her short little almost 9 years experienced a lot of the usual, and not so usual child hood injuries. Today, we visited the doctor to have an in grown toe nail removed. I always thought that in grown toe nails happened when you were old (sorry Mike), but once again Morgan has been able to prove me wrong. So Morgan was extremely brave. She barely blinked an eye. The doctor who has been in practice many years was very impressed. So was I. As soon as she was done all Morgan could think about was if she was good enough to get another little pet shop toy from walmart. Hey bribery has worked this far I am not going to stop now. And of course with such reviews from the doctor a mother couldn't refuse. So she now has the much desired Ostrich, and a pelican. She is one happy camper. We'll wait and see what happens when the pain medication wears off.

OK OK OK

I get it Joker is scary. But so am I. I thought it was fitting. I understand if you hated the Joker background. I changed it just for you. I had to the only one person that reads this blog hated it. he he he ( just kidding I hope there's more, like atleast 3.....) Anyway hopefully you enjoy the new blogger background. You can't go wrong with diamonds. Diamonds are a girls best friend. ( wait it might be my only friend.........he he he)

Amazing........... She lives to another birthday

Morgan will be turning 9 on August 11th . She can hardly wait She has asked for a 4 wheeler. ( I hope she has a rich uncle and we find him soon.....) Morgan is "the middle child". And she never lets us forget it and she definitely uses it to her advantage. Morgan is amazing! She is smart, funny, courageous talented, willful, full of spunk, and attitude. ( I am sure she was hand picked by my mom just for me.) When it comes to jumping farther, climbing higher, screaming louder, running faster, or laughing harder Morgan is always up to the challenge. Morgan is fearless, as long as you are not human and try to speak to her. The one challenge Morgan does have that she has not figured out how to conquer is her brother. (That's been a challenge for almost 6 yrs) Morgan makes us laugh, makes us crazy, and most of all she is the life of the party! We love you Morgan and hope your birthday is awesome! Butterfly kisses! Love Mom, Dad, Micah, and Thad.

I am a Strawberry

You Are a Strawberry

You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people. You are popular, but there's nothing you ordinary or average about you. You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private.

Real women Hike in flip flops!

As part of our weekend at the cabin (mentioned in the previous post) we went out for a hike upto the lake. My niece only brought flip flops for the weekend, not knowing that we were going to the cabin. So being the coolest Aunt ever, I decide to wear my flip flops too. Whining is always better with a partner. But it actually wasn't bad. It was like a pedicure, but the end result we ended up with uglier feet then when we started. Good thing we didn't pay $25.00 for it. But I have a new found respect for the Flip Flops. I already wear them with almost anything, and now i can hike in them too. Flip Flops definitly top my chart as one of the greatest creations ever! I love Flip Flops!

This is so on the blog.........

This weekend we spent up at Mike's Mom and Dad's cabin. And it was an incredible weekend. I had my sisters 3 (out of 4) kids and I think I can speak for all of us when we say we had a great weekend. I love having my nieces and nephew. Our favorite phrase of the weekend is " this is so on the blog!" Although I can't share all 100 plus pictures of the weekend. Here were a few to show all the things we did. I am so proud of my all "my kids" I love them so much. Sam, Julie, Micah, Nik, Morgan, and Thad thanks for being who you are. You teach me so much about life and what is important. Each one of you are so talented, beautiful, handsome, incredible, funny, loveable, amazing... I could go on but I think you all get it. Love you all !!!!!! (And you will love this, if I tell you you'll love this. he he he)
