Morgan's Show Day

Let me start by saying that the first semester there were only five girls in this group - and their final performance took us almost the whole hour. This semester there were fourteen girls in the class...so this was quite a show!

Grand entrance, she wouldn't let go of Miss Ally's hand...dragged her all the way across the room!

Sitting on the banana wall waiting their turn to show their mat skills.

Morgan's mat skills...thanks to a good friend with an awesome camera, there are some GREAT shots.

Next up is the bar routine

Lastly, the dance portion.

Medal for the Star!

These were so cute, I couldn't choose just one...enjoy! Morgan didn't want to partake in the "Silly Faces" picture. She was tired and ready to go home.

Ball game

Morgan and I went to a friend's son's ballgame and were so happy to see their Papa there. Morgan went right up and sat on his lap and shared popcorn. Love adopted family!

Wrestling Around

After Kolton's Karate/Jiu Jitsu class Friday we were all feeling a little frisky and ended up grappling - to include Morgan. Here I'm winning, I just couldn't sink that choke hold in! Eventually he won, by twisting my ankle into a lock and digging his knees in my sore thighs - hahaha! Talk about working up a sweat - whew!

First Crush, Oh My!

Good morning, Justin!

Spring Gardening

After taking Morgan to Lowe's to build a flower pot last weekend, I decided that I would like some flowers planted in the front yard this year. It didn't take much to convince Jamie, and Morgan couldn't wait to plant them! I didn't get the camera out while we were planting, all three of us were busy working and the boys were inside...so I only have pictures from afterwards.

Daddy and Morgan resting from the hard work - with fresh cookies, of course!

This morning before we left for the gym, I walked outside and found that we already have blooming flowers!! Woohoo!!! There are two near each tree...Morgan and I are so excited!

Kolton

This is how Kolton spends most days before school...and after if he has no homework and if the kids aren't playing basketball.

Hair Organizer Project

My dear friend, Kristen, and I set out to make a bow/barrette holder after seeing a bunch of different kinds at a craft show. Luckily, my friend Bev's little girl (Alicia) had a birthday coming up and she was the one we had in mind when we started this. It allowed us to not only have fun crafting, but we also enjoyed coffee/playdates! I made the four pairs of barrettes for Alicia to start her collection off. Kristen hand painted the swirls on the flip-flops - she's so artsy!

Cousins

Jeannie and I met up one morning for breakfast and I was able to get a few shots of Ella & Morgan.

Water Fight!!!

Morgan woke up from her nap and was ready to go play outside...with her little baby sister/brother (the gender depends on her mood...but it always wears pink and purple)!


Pretty girl


Morgan found her goggles (which she has never worn longer than 5 seconds) and decided she wanted to have a watergun fight...only the boys had already come in and changed their clothes after a neighborhood water fight. So her daddy took pity on her and went to let the fight begin.

She doesn't care that he doesn't have a gun at this point.

Jamie is crouched in and ready to soak.

From this point, Morgan has the advantage.

Duck and run, duck and run!!!

Uh-oh, here he comes...watch out Morgan!
