I just love this picture. She really is the happiest baby ever!

Better late than never

I decided I would take this opportunity to blog while the kids are being babysat by the TV at the moment.
Morgans Birthday was over a month ago and I am now getting around to blogging about it. My little Princess is now 4. For her birthday, we just kept it simple. We opened presents, had cake and ice cream, went to McDonald's and let the kids play on the play land and then we let the kids stay up late and we watched "Tinker Bell" (for the 90th time). It was very simple, but Morgan had fun. Morgan got a memory game from her Grandma and Grandpa S. She loves it, and I am amazed and how good she it at it. She has an incredible memory. Grandma C. made her a twirly skirt that she wears all the time. Any time the radio is on and she wants to dance she has to have one of her twirly skirts on.

I realize that her hair and clothes are different in each picture, but don't let that fool you, they were taken the same day, in fact it was only about 5 minutes apart.

Some thing about Morgan,

*She is very bossy

*She loves to be the "Princess"

*She loves doing school work of any kind.

*She loves to draw/color/stamp/paint/cut/trace. . .

*She has "Attitude"

*She is a super big sister, always looking out for David and Sierra. Don't worry, she doesn't let David get away with anything.

*She is so loving, she always make sure you know how much she loves you!

And we sure love her.

Funny Boy

The other day David really wanted to take a bath. He kept asking and I kept putting him off. A few minutes later I hear the bath water running. He decided I was taking to long so he was going to do it himself. He doesn't know how to adjust the temperature of the water so when I went in to help him this is what I found. . .

Apparently the water wasn't warm enough. This kid cracks me up!

6 months

My baby is growing up too fast. She is already sitting up on her own, and last night for the first time, she slept through the night!!!!! I am such a proud Mother.

JAMES MANWILL Jr.
James Stewart (Jim) Manwill, Jr. "If there wasn't humor in heaven before, there is now." Jim, age 49, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2010 at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born June 26, 1960 to J. Stewart and Mary Jean Manwill. Served an LDS mission in Portland, Oregon. Married his wife, Sandra Grijalva Lara, in 1983 in the Salt Lake Temple. Was a real estate agent for 29 years. Well-known for his sense of humor, random acts of kindness and work ethic. He loved his family and spent his life in their service. Survived by his wife, Sandra; his four children - Jeremy (21), Daniel (19), Vanessa (15), Ryan (10); mother, Jean Manwill; siblings, Louise Price, Karen Caldwell, Peggy Olson, Linda Brewster and Brent Manwill. Preceded in death by his father. Viewing will be Thursday, January 14, 2010 from 6-8 p.m. at the Grandview 3rd Ward, 2930 South 2000 East. Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Friday, January 15, 2010 at the same location; viewing one hour prior to services. Interment at Elysian Burial Gardens. Services in the care of Premier Funeral Services.

Jim was an inspiration to all that knew him. He was kind, funny, sensitive and loving. He was a great example to me of service and love. He was so amazing that the Lord took him from his mortal existence because he was needed more on the other side. I know Jim is already hard at work in heaven. His death is not the end, it is merely a mission farewell. I love you Jim, God be with you til we meet again.

One for the Books

Let it be know that my Davey Dew is POTTY TRAINED. . . . .WHOO HOOO! I am so excited to be done with diapers, at least with him. He has gone 2 weeks and a 13 hour car ride and stayed dry, (minus the accident he had at church and of course I wasn't prepared because he had been dry for so long). The best part is, I don't even have to help/remind him, he just goes in the bathroom and does it all by himself!!!! I am such a proud mother!

Catch up

Forgive my lack of blogging. Here are a lot of pictures and a few words to catch you up on our happenings.

We made it to the pumpkin patch and it started pouring rain. I got one quick shot of David before we left empty handed.

Morgan was Tinker Bell for Halloween, I found a super easy tutorial so I threw her costume together at the last minute.

For Thanksgiving my family made the long drive out here. We were very cramped in my little house but we had lots of fun. We went to the beach and collected sea shells.

We went to the Bellevue Garden D'lights. The have an incredible lights display.

I got new carpet, which I love. Here is a before and after picture of the room.

And a picture of the bug!
