Art

I have found that if I create a place for Morgan at the computer desk, she will color until her heart's content and allow me to browse the internet or pay bills! She's such a good girl...and loves to color and use stickers.

DAY 1



DAY 2 - colored pencils are fun

Easter

I'm really not sure who had more fun, Morgan or Daddy! Morgan was thoroughly interested in doing it herself, but once Jamie had it all to himself he started experimenting with new colors and making multi-colored/half-n-half eggs!



Bubbles

Morgan and I were out blowing bubbles and I ran in for the camera. She decided she was going to refuse a photo session and turned around! Oh well, I tried.

Planting Seeds of Love


Sorry about the sideways video, I forgot until I was already filming that I can't flip the direction!

In like a lion?

We had a "storm" come through yesterday and for the first time in our adult life, we experienced some damage.

Here's our 14'x16' trampoline in our neighbor's front yard.

And the fence it took out during its flight!

Jamie was bummed that the van was still in the driveway! Hahaha!

View of neighbor's from our yard.

Close up of the trampoline and the pillar - if it wasn't for the pillar, the trampoline would have gone through the girls' bedroom window
- scary!

View from neighbor's front porch. There are normally two rocking chairs on the front porch, the storm took the one nearest the front door (middle of the porch) and sent it into the field behind their backyard! They also lost part of their fence and so did their neighbors on both sides. They had a sun-shaped bird feeder attached to the fence by a small nail...it was still attached, but the fence section was lying on the ground.


It also picked up our playset and tried to send it packing, too - but it fought back a little harder than the trampoline!

Water Fun

It's been so nice that the boys in the neighborhood have had several water gun fights. Morgan always has to sit on the sidelines. Today she wanted in, so we got her changed and then this is how it played out...maybe we need to get her a water gun of her own?

Basketball Team

I tried putting these pictures on the sidebar, but they're so small you can't really see what all these boys are doing...it was too cute not to post!

Jump Zone

While the boys and I were in D.C., Grammy also took Morgan to Jump Zone...this was Morgan's first time. Then they met Jamie for a meal at Rosie's, and Morgan slept through it!
Here's Morgan trying to make friends.
This gal offered to take Morgan down the slide...sweet, huh?
Rosies - Jamie and I had to go back by ourselves so we could enjoy a meal - and so that Jamie could actually eat his! We had the same waitress he had with Mom and she remembered him...made a comment about him actually getting to eat this time and inquired on where his daughter was! Jamie was dumbfounded that she remembered him, and made a crack at me that if he'd cheated on me she would have just dimed him out!!! Hahaha!
