Pumpkin Patch and Parade.. what a day!

Well, I went to my first pumpkin patch... in my first Halloween outfit and then .. saw my first parade, that my Papa and Cousin were in!! It was awesome.. Just cool enough and the band music was wonderful. My mom and I dance to the music and I waved at everyone and screamed at my Papa -- I was very excited to see him in the cool car! Well, off to nite-nite land so that my mom can try and do some chores.. Have a great week! And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Just FUN~

So my friend Bry came over and hung out... She loves to hug on me but I don't know why!! She is crazy!! But we love them.. Speckles! Also since it got cold I got the chance to wear overalls for the first time and my Princess night gown.. shh don't tell my mommy and I stayed in our night gowns all day on Saturday! I also discover that I like the laundry basket -- I can't quite figure out how to get out yet, or fold the clothes! (LOL, mom's wish not mine!) I also got my first haircut as you can see it doesn't look half bad it they are swept to the side, but I think my mom should stick to letting my Aunt Lauri cut hair -- because it is really crooked! That is okay it will grow back! Love to all-- have a great week and enjoy the cooler weather!

Our first real photo shoot

There are 99 pictures and I would love to share them all, but that would take me way into the night.. to download so here are a few of our favorites.. thank you Aunt Kathy. We had such a great time!! and this was also our first time in pigtails!!! Love you all!~

Remembering...

I remember this dress that I had as a child. I don't remember what color it was but it tied at my shoulders and I loved it.. and I always had my hair in pigtails! Well, when I found out that I was having a girl. I had to go buy some clothes myself.. b/c mommy's just have too! And I couldn't resist this pink dress that tied at the top! Here is the outcome...still a bit big, and not enough hair for pigtails (YET), but none the less GORGEOUS! Enjoy the new 8 month pictures of our pumpkin, I hope that they make you smile as much as they do us...and maybe make you remember that certain "special" outfit you had as a child~ Love to all!

8 Months oh, where did the time go?

Okay she turned 8 months old yesterday! YIKES...slow down! Here are some new photos I thought that I would download, or is it upload her photo shoot- Here are some pics of the ceiling that Mark painted white, but they are going back to tan--DON'T ASK! Here is her one and only mug shot (we hope).. We are going to take prettier, more lady like photos in it later, Mark thought he was being cute! And here is some of her with her day with dad.. Maybe she thinks that if she feeds her hair the Cheerios that it will grow? Who knows?? It will make for a fun bath time for me to night as we discover where else they landed! Oh, the joys of motherhood. Love the laughs though- TOTALLY worth it, and totally contagious!

Before we sign off for the day just wanted to say that we are glad Papo's thing went well, fingers crossed that it will come back with good news. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Papa!!! You're old, but I STILL love you!!! =) Love to all. Have a great week!

WOW -- how could I forget!

In my hurry to finish and get monkey and me to bed I forgot the most important thing that we have learn thus far! She said her first word, MOMMA!!! yeah.. Mark told her she could not come out of her room until she learned dadda so we are working on that now! She turns 8 months old on Sunday. Can't believe how fast it has flown -- by the next time I write she might be walking- so don't forget to keep reading! Love you all!

Busy Times

Ok -- so this is going to be short, sorry guys but it is almost nite- nite time again! We have had a very busy month...with crawling, pulling up, and falling on everything that moves! She has found a new and cool passageway through the side table in the living room her own "tunnel". She met a new friend and so did momma. Menda and Briley and the famous "Speckles"! They are moving in up the road and Briley wears Morgan out, Menda is and Aggie!!! And well, I think that Mark and Speckles are dating! j/k I think that we will all be hanging out a lot more when they move to Kyle. So can't wait, because we need more "family" friends! Also we tried real peas and pasta for the first time. She shovels it in pretty fast, it just doesn't stay there- She hasn't quite figured out how to chew...we will learn! Oh yeah, and in the midst of all of this we have torn up our laminate floors AGAIN! and put down new ones. I am sure however that these will stay down. We having the molding almost done, then painting... and then onto the next project! Okay well she is ready for that cereal and mommy is ready for bed it has been a LONG week! Thank God my manager let me take a "insane" day tomorrow. God knows I need it! Love to all-- keep praying for the RAIN. (We saw about 30 minutes last night, would have loved about 30 hours!!!)

Always knew..

Okay so this was Mark's Saturday to work... I always have big plans when I have Morgan, but don't know why because I have yet to get anything on my "to-do" list accomplished. We did make it to Kohl's to find some awesome deals. How can you turn down an outfit that is ONE DOLLAR?? Anyways, back to my title. I always knew that Morgan was my daughter, but today totally confirmed it! She was taking naps, but wasn't fussy, and it was too early to feed her, so I put her on the ground and started to vacuum, she got a hold of the cord and started crawling towards the vacuum...I was so proud! One day she can take on my OCD, of a clean house! (Which trust me lately has been VERY far from my standards, but I have learned to get over that!!) We played with all of our toys, ate, went for a walk, and took a nature hike around the small neighborhood twice!! I ran out of ideas, so we took a bath in the "BIG" bathtub and then had a great idea for a photo op.. so enjoy the new photos and the rest of your weekend-- it is going by too fast! Love to all!!

Too cute not to post!

So my friend Alaina has been posting and taking pics of her daughter naked. I personally think that is when Morgan is the cutest... so while mine don't show anything, because Mark would not be happy - I had to share them because she is so darn cute/precious! I think that I missed my calling too! Stand back Kelly I think that there maybe another photographer in the family! I have to say though, it is hard not to take great photos with such a beautiful subject... and the great camera doesn't hurt either! Hope that you are all having a great week! Love you!!

What a long week!!

What a long week, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Let me first start off by thanking Nana, Aunt Heather, and of course Papa! Don't think I would have made it through without ya'll!! Mark went on a week long training class in College Station and left his "women" behind. I told him to take it as a week long vacation. Yes, you have to go to work. But no crying to wake you up just as you fall asleep -- no dirty diapers, or bottles...even if you do have to get up at 5am for class, still a little bit of a vacation. We survived and only stayed at Nana's house twice. Thursday night was the best though I felt so accomplished. I picked her up from her weekly visit to grandma and grandpa's house and we went home, she slept... I made a real dinner and was able to eat it and for the most part clean up before she woke up-- *and yes! it was even edible! Had her in bed asleep by 7:30-- it was great! But there is still nothing like HELP~ So to any and all single parents out there, You are amazing!! Love to all-- here is to an uneventful week! (sorry note the shadow on the wall of her crazy hair!!) TOO CUTE!

Too Little Time

This week has been a strange - sad- long one... and it just seems like there are not enough hours in the day. And sorry guys, but I would much rather try and get six hours of sleep then blog =) So much for the rain- Nana and I joked they got 10 drops of rain and we got 11!! Hope everyone else is having better luck in that department! Here are a few photos.. she is ACTUALLY STANDING ON HER OWN, but only when you put her up -- and for like two seconds. Don't want to rush that anyway! We love you all, and would love your prayers this week as we start it Sunday with daddy going out of town =( Love to all -- and HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!!

Happy Belated July 4th!!

So we had to celebrate Morgan's first July 4Th without Mark. He was too busy catching darn drunk drivers... UGH! But we spent the day with our Bridge's family and had a wonderful time. She got to wear another goofy hat -- for MOM! and her first pair of shoes, and her first bow! (Thanks Ashley!) It was a lot of fun and wore her out seeing and having all those new people hold and feed her. Today Nana and Morgan tried her first cheerios-- and she loved them, so I guess at some point I will be visiting HEB- AGAIN! Just wanted to update and tell everyone Happy 4Th even if I am almost a week late. Enjoy the new photos -- more to come. And we missed you Abby!!! Talk to you all soon! Love, US!

I'm 6 months OLD!!

6 months old on 6/30! I can hardly believe that she has been in our lives for this long... they say it gets easier. Don't know about that -- she takes less naps, is mobile.. but it has made for many, many entertaining moments. I love this age. Almost everything is funny too her. And she can entertain herself with her feet, who knew! She is crawling backwards right under the coffee table, and is frustrated by the fact that she can't figure out how to go out of reverse and move FORWARD! We still haven't made it to fruits, but that is okay, b/c we have all the time in the world! Now is when I wish more than anything to be a stay at home mom! She is so much FUN.. I Do know that it will only get better- And I can't wait! Love to all! (wow, did spell check and No misspellings-- can that be right? Aunt Kathy - you better check!!! hope you are having fun on vacation!)
