HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!-June 15, 2008

A wise man once said of his wife, "she may not be perfect, but she's perfect for me." The same rings true of Clint. He is exactly what I want and what I need, even though he doesn't ALWAYS put his shoes away, and he doesn't ALWAYS take out the trash when its overflowing. But he ALWAYS takes care of me and Morgan, he is a worthy son of God who tries very hard to do the things God wants him to do, he is strong mentally, physically, spiritually, and in every other aspect of his life. He never asks "why", he only takes his circumstances and makes the best of them and then learns from the experience. And he loves unconditionally, for all these things Morgan and I are truly grateful. We've been blessed with an amazing husband and father and could never ask for anything more. Happy Father's Day Clint!

And happy father's day to my wonderful Dad, Step-Dad, and Dad-in-law. You have all been wonderful examples to us and have given us so much. Thanks for all you do! Wish we could be there to celebrate your day, but know we are thinking of you and miss you very much!

Cheeseball-June 13, 2008

I just love Morgan's cheesy grin. I was making chomping noises at her and she was laughing so hard. This was right before her 6 month check up appointment. She weighed 16.6 lbs (50th percentile) and is 26 1/2 inches long (65-70th percentile). I can't believe how fast time flies. She's eating solids better now. She really likes squash. Not sweet potatoes. And she is holding her own bottle now.

Home-June 10, 2008

I'm not sure where Clint is, but this guy was standing on the side of the road with a couple of duffle bags so I thought I'd be nice and bring him home. He's cute enough. Kind of skinny around the middle since he was starved for a couple of days. But he'll do. I planned a very nice lunch for Clint...roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, corn...but we decided to go to lunch with all his buddies that he roomed with while he was gone. We went to Playa Azul in Enterprise, the best Mexican food we've had since coming to 'Bama. I highly recommend it. Sure is nice to have him home. I love being a family. He has a week off before his next course, so we're getting lots of quality time together.

Wasps, Juice, Tummy Time, and Hair-June 8, 2008

This is a wasp nest that is in my window sill. I just found it on Friday. Its actually really cool cause its made out of mud. It would be interesting to see the wasps at work, but I rather it not be in my window sill :)
A good friend of mine brought over some juice the other day for Morgan cause she's having a hard time going #2. Everytime she drinks it this is the face she makes. It cracks me up! Remember the 'bitter beer' commercials from forever ago?

Morgan usually hates being on her stomach and rolls over the second you put her there, but yesterday she was having a good time talking to our good friends, Nate and Mindy.

I know this picture is really lame, but some of you wanted to see my newly highlighted hair. I sure am thankful for friends with talent. Nikki colored my hair and gave me some layers and she did an awesome job. Thanks Nikki!

New Pics (that was fast huh?)-June 6, 2008

I don't remember taking this picture. But its kind of cute, don't ya think? She's drooling so much lately. Its possible that she's teething. She doesn't really suck on anything anymore. She chews on stuff. Especially her pacifier. I think grandpa Fred will really like this picture. He loves pictures of little kids with their mouths wide open.
This morning I put Morgan down for a nap in her crib. She was in there for a good half hour and I thought she had fallen asleep. All of the sudden the monitor starts going wild with static. So I poke my head into her room to see whats going on and she's trying to eat the monitor! Keep in mind that when I put her in her crib, her head is about a foot and a half away from the monitor and her blankets are tucked tight around her. She arches her back and kicks her legs over and over until she gets to where she wants to be. No more taking naps on beds or couches.

I made a little photo album for Morgan. It has pictures of all her grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I gave it to her today and she just layed there looking at the pictures of grandma and grandpa Webb for a long time. I thought it was cute.

June 6, 2008

Our blog is now open to all readers. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. O, and sorry about the lack of new pictures. Morgan and I haven't been doing much. Just trying to get the house clean and the dog bathed/groomed and food in the house in preparation for Clint to come home. I'll get some new pictures soon though. Oh, and one other thing. Morgan is FINALLY eating oatmeal cereal and sometimes sweet potatoes. I started mixing them with water instead of formula and she actually likes it better. No more gagging on the stuff. It really makes me happy because I have a small suspicion that baby food (especially making it) is cheaper than formula.

Countdown-June 4, 2008

I just want everyone to know that Clint comes home in 4 days! Hooray! I can't wait. No more being a single parent. (At least until he get deployed). This also means that we will (cross your fingers) get orders in 5 days. But please, please, don't ask. I PROMISE we will tell you where we're going when we find out, either by our blog or a mass text message. But believe me, we WILL tell all of you. We're not going to keep it a secret from anyone. So just be patient! Its been just as hard for us to wait as it has been for you. Don't expect it before Monday though.

Sharing the Gospel

The following is a quote from Elder M. Russell Ballard’s speech given at Brigham Young University-Hawaii’s graduation ceremony on 15 December 2007. It never occured to me to use a blog as a tool to help others learn the truch about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

"Now, to you who are graduating today and all other faithful members of the Church, as you graduate from this wonderful university, may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple, clear terms the message of the Restoration. Most of you already know that if you have access to the Internet you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you know to be true. You can download videos from Church and other appropriate sites, including Newsroom at LDS.org, and send them to your friends. You can write to media sites on the Internet that report on the Church, and voice your views as to the accuracy of the reports."
