Vacuum

Okay, so I have one child (Riley) who is terrified of vacuums and another who loves them.  When Riley was little, I couldn't vacuum unless she was asleep.  Now I can't vacuum because she wants to clobber it. Housework is overrated anyway.

Picture Perfect Family!

I love how everyone is smiling in this picture.  Ok, I admit, I photoshopped Riley's head, because she wasn't looking, from another photo from the same series.  It was difficult because she is in stripes.  In the future, we will stick to solids.  I also had to tilt the photo, because the tripod was crooked.  But now, it is Picture Perfect!

Happy Birthday Morgan!

I can't believe this girl is one! Just yesterday, we were living in El Paso, bathing in the sun in order to lower her bilirubin.  Here today, we are at Grandma Koyle's house celebrating with everyone whose birthday is in February, which includes, Daniel, Alexa (because she is moving to Japan and we wanted to celebrate her birthday before she leaves), Ruth Makenzie, and Emmaline.

These pictures with the chocolate cake are from our family birthday. I made the tags with my machine.  I love how each time kids this age have a birthday party, they learn that much more, like how to open presents, blow out candles (even though she still didn't get it) and that birthday's are fun!
After cake and icecream, and a shower, she got to open presents.  She got a castle with Klip-Klop horses and we opened the stuffed animals that were packed in the garage.  All the kids loved them and she almost got a turn on her own castle.

This is the amazing cake that Mercedes made for Morgan. I wanted her family to come down and celebrate because she celebrates a birthday with Morgan. I love that when Morgan was born, she was overjoyed with excitement and thanked me for giving her a niece for her birthday. I would like to make celebrating with her a tradition.
Update: June 8, 2015. I got a niece on my birthday. Sonya had her little baby Dannika in Japan on my birthday!

Shoes

This is Morgan, wearing two different shoes. I lost a shoe of each pair and had her wear the mismatched pair so she would have something on her feet.

Another Valentine!

Everytime I get a little one at this age around Valentines Day, I attempt to do a photoshoot.  This was Morgan's photoshoot.  These were the other kids: ELI and RILEY.

Eli and Morgan Playing

Eli LOVES, LOVES LOVES his sister Morgan.  I am surprised he lets her play with his toys, but she is just so cute!

Morgan and Toothbrushes

Here is a cute picture of my children brushing their teeth.  Morgan saw them brushing and needed a toothbrush too.  She wants to do everything that her older siblings do.

Up date 9-6-15: Morgan has way too much freedom in the bathroom.  She is constantly stealing toothbrushes from the bathroom, even though she has her own.  She stands on the stool in the bathroom and throws everything she can find into the sink.  You would think that I would lock the bathroom, but it is also a hallway into our house because we are living in the side apartment.  At least she hasn't discovered the toilet. Or maybe she did, I heard the toilet flush and she was running away.  Heaven help me!
