Colorado June 7-11, 2009

On June 7th Morgan and I drove to Colorado to spend the week with my dad. Stopped at Subway for lunch.

She was so good for the entire 9 hour drive. I was amazed!
June 8th-Eating dinner on a makeshift highchair. She's sitting on a pot and is tied to the chair with a dish towel.

Wearing mom's shoes around the house.

June 9-Morgan is obsessed with balloons.

June 10-Talking to daddy on the phone.

Its tradition that whenever we are in Colorado we go to Casa Bonita. For those of you in Utah, its just like the Myan (only 10 times better). They do a gun show and cliff diving shows and puppet shows. Here is Morgan and my dad playing in the fountain.

My dad had to hold Morgan back, she would have jumped into the water if he'd let her.

Morgan was so interested in the show. Her dad would be proud, she ate TONS of beans and rice! Clint's favorite.

Exploring the caves.

Good thing the nets are there, she wanted to jump in so bad! If you look closely you can see her foot is through a hole in the net.

Watching the cliff diver.

Riding the train.

Guess who found the treasure!

One last shot before we left.

June 11-Morgan loved taking granola bars out and putting them back in this box.

Where'd the kitty go?

We drove home to Utah in the middle of the night. Morgan was having a hard time sleeping because her head kept falling forward. So my dad, the engineer, with wheels always turning in his head, used a pillow to tip the carseat back, took Morgan out, layed a blanket in the carseat, and buckled her back up. She slept really good after that.

Just wanted everyone to know I'm down to the double digits in my pregnancy! Only 98 days to go! WOHOO!!!! This kid is so active. I am constantly feeling him moving around. This morning I didn't feel him move for 2 hours and I was freaking out cause thats really not normal. I can't wait to see him! I wonder who he will look like.

Hill Air Force Base Air Show-June 6, 2009

Morgan and I went to the Hill Air Force Base Air Show last week with Clint's family. It was a beautiful day for an air show. So beautiful that I got a nice sun burn on my arms face and chest. I forget how sensitive my skin is to the sun when I'm pregnant. Same thing happned when I was pregnant with Morgan.

This guy was a little tiny red plane doing crazy tricks. At some points you couldn't tell if he was flying or falling out of the sky.
I just thought it was neat how the nose of this plane opened up for cargo.

This guy looked like a whale compared to the jets and other little planes. He moved so slow. I couldn't believe he could stay in the air.

Parachutters. I was taking the picture into the sun so it didn't turn out so great.

Enjoying frozen lemonade with Nana.

The Thunderbirds performed. It was my first time seeing a performance like this and it was pretty neat. Loud, but neat.

Morgan didn't even mind the noise at all. Which surprised me, because it hurt my ears a couple of times. There were 2 baby boys screaming a few feet behind us cause the jets kept scaring them.

This guy is flying straight forward, not up.

Apparantely at some points in the show these guys' wings get within 16 inches of each other. If they're even 1 second delayed in any move they can cause terrible problems.

A couple videos for you. Make sure your volume isn't too loud.

18 Months

On June 9th Morgan turned 18 months old!

At her dr. appointment before we left Korea she was 23 pounds and they said 30 inches, but I don't believe them, I think she was more like 28 inches. She's usually around the 40th-50th percentile for everything. Which means shes very average in her size. She's gaining height faster than weight, so she's thinning out quite a bit.

At 18 month Morgan can sign "eat" and "more", she can say "no, mom, dada, papa, hi, bye, see ya, down (sometimes sit down), cheese (for the camera), uh-oh, shoe", love ya or later" (can't tell yet), and something that very closely resembles "oh man". Of course she doesn't say ALL of these words perfectly, but I understand what she's saying :)

Her favorite game right now is peek-a-boo with her Winnie the Pooh blanket (which she is more attached to than ever before). She likes to play with just her hands too. If you say "I see you", she will immediately cover her eyes and say "see ya". She also loves jumping/playing/wrestling on any big person bed. I attribute that to her dad, who is always wrestling with her on our bed at home.

She loves being outside and she loves walking around like a big person. Especially in stores. She walked up and down every single isle in Home Depot yesterday! Not joking.

She prefers to play alone or near the closest adult. Still not interested in playing with other kids. In fact she usually pushes them away if they get to close to her. She's not super interested in toys unless its something with buttons to push or a door or lid that she can open and close. She still loves books, but not as much as she used to. She much rather get into all the things shes not supposed to. Especially drawers.

She wears size 18 month onsies/shirts, but still wears size 12 month pants/shorts/skirts.

She loves going to bed. Sometimes when I tell her to go to bed she will walk right to her bed and wait for me to put her in it. She rarely fights naptime or bedtime. If she could talk, I'm pretty sure she would ask me if she could go to bed. The only time she fights sleep at all is when she's not in her crib. Its very rare to find her asleep anywhere besides her crib or car seat.

June 5, 2009

Caught mid-dancing.

Trying to work up the courage to climb.

Take them out, put them back in.

I love SHOPPING BAGS!!!!!

She just cracks me up. She climbed the slide for a good hour.

More fun from my mom's camera.

You have to blow up this next one to see Morgan's face.

Saturday May 30th...Playing in the backyard...again.

Kayla being a puppy, Ellie worshiping the Sun Gods, and Morgan thinking they're both silly!
New favorite treat.

Clint, this is Fred's latest project I told you about. Soon all the flowers will be in bloom and it will be so pretty! I think he's putting one more leg of lattice along the fence.

Wednesday June 3rd...Riding Chrome up in Morgan, Utah.

Morgan meet Chrome, Chrome meet Morgan.

Wow, look at the dirt. I think I'll eat some. (which she did)

Watching the horses.

Playing in Papa's truck

This is the only picture I got of Morgan and her cousin Carson together. She kept pushing him away when he got too close. Such a little stinker!
