My Little Girl

Awhile back I did a post of Morgan's first 4 months so this is an update to that. In the above picture she is 6 months. She was sitting up and crawling around. She was a really good scooter for awhile and then took off from there.

This is an April shot so she is around 7 months.

Here is another one of the many favorite pictures of her. She is around 9 months here. I can't get over how happy she is. She is so patient with me and so tender with Mike. I feel so blessed to have her in my life. And when I count the other family members ( Mike, Cole, and Carson) I am almost overwhelmed at how I love them all so much. They are so good and I am so thankful I was blessed so much!

Here she is at my parents house wandering around. This is when she is 11 months old. She is really good at getting around. My mom still says she has the monster walk though.

Sacramento Family Trip 3

Michael is the best dad ever! He is so good to our kids. Little Morgan loves him so. When we were walking and he was holding her she was just laying on his shoulder looking up at him. We couldn't resist getting this sweet moment.

The boys got to do a little ride outside of the Funderland park on these cute little horses. Cole's was named Blackie and Carson's horse was named Rusty.

Carson was so happy to be at the zoo and see all the animals. He most wanted to see the loin and tiger. We got to see the lion but never the tiger. Hopefully we can go back and do this again. I love seeing the boys so excited....they are awesome kids.

Cole kissing this statue.....little weirdo!!! He most enjoyed the lemur's there because they had scary eyes he said. This trip was fun....of course, not without kid drama but we were able to manage without any major issue.

Sacramento Family Trip

Here are pictures of Morgan on our little trip. She was so good while we were there. She is always good. We are so blessed to have her special little spirit bless our home.

She is almost 11 months old now. She took her first steps at the beginning of her being 9 months and was walking in the later end of her 9th month. She is so cute to watch walk because she is so little.

Backyard Update

Yes, I am well pleased with the yard this year. It is so fun to see things grow and get bigger and better with each year. Since Michael and I have married this is the 3rd backyard we have put in from scratch. The previous homes we never got to see them the year after we put them in!

I am getting tons of zucchini! I love zucchini they make me feel like a successful gardener. I am getting tomatoes and cucumbers too. We are going to have watermelon too, to my surprise. (I wasn't sure if it would grow.)

Our trees have done really good too! We have fruit on all of them. The peaches have already come and gone. And the nectarines are done and the peaches and apples I think are almost done.

A Buffalo Named Cassie

So that nasty piece of fur you see on the ground there is a buffalo that Michael shot back in February. I was very happy that he got to go and do something he really wanted to do. However, I was not anticipating the hide he would want to display proudly somewhere in the house. The boys were very excited about it and wanted to name it. Cole came up with Cassie. (Cass, I have no idea why he chose that name but I guess you could consider it a complement!) They wanted Mike to hang it upstairs on their wall. Disgusting......

So because I was putting up such a fuss about having it in the house the boys decided to really push my buttons and started laying on it and rolling around on it. I am happy to say that it is boxed up in the garage. One day Cassie will be able to take her rightful place and be displayed proudly on our garage wall.

Are you a right wing extremist?

You are if you can answer yes to any of these questions:

1. Do you want our borders closed not because you are a racist but because you believe in upholding the LAW?

2. Do you believe its important to protect our 2nd amendment right to bear arms?

3. Do you believe in God and that its our God given right to worship how and where we want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone?

4. Do you believe that the Constitution should still be the law of the land? And if so, that it should be interpreted the way the founders intended it to?

5. Do you love the flag and like to show it off?

Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions welcome to the right wing extremist club! Our government thinks we are crazy and out of touch. I'm being facetious but this is what they truly are using to draw the line in the sand between who is normal and who is crazy.

I was amazed to watch how the media described the tea party attendees on tax day. They were called every name in the book and I thought then can they really be missing the mark that bad or are they being deceitful in order to fool the masses that rely on there coverage for the truth. I have come to the conclusion that they are being deceptive intentionally because they are doing it again.

Has anyone seen the coverage of the town halls that are erupting all over the country? It is truly interesting to watch normal citizens, like us, not buying the BS about ObamaCare. (I think the better title for the bill, as some say correctly, would be Obama Control.) Here are the representatives of the people trying to talk them into this monstrosity and they are not buying it. I LOVE it! Now once again the media are painting the people in attendance as "mobs". Why don't they see it for what it is? A grassroots movement that is sick and tired of not being listened too. Not the "AstroTurf" mob that they are used to assembling through ACORN and other illegitimate organizations they fund with OUR money.

I am concerned but also encouraged by what is going on. I love our country and the tenacity of the citizens that make it up. I choose to believe everything will work out as long as all of us do our part by becoming informed on the issues, learning about how our government works, participating in our great Republic, and then having faith and relying on our God. What an exciting time to be alive!
