Difference in Personalities

The other night Brian and I were talking, and Morgan and Jacksons started fighting over an Elmo doll. Well one of us took the Elmo doll, and asked if we should break it in half so they could both have a little bit of Elmo. Brian asked Morgan if he should break Elmo in half, and she said "Yes" then Brian asked Jackson, and Jackson got the saddest look on his face, almost started crying, and said, "No! Don't break Elmo! " Hmmm interesting huh... does it sound like a bible story? :) In the end Jackson got Elmo and Morgan found some new toy to play with. I thought it was funny seeing how different their personalities are, Jackson is quite the sensitive one, and Brian and I wonder if Morgan was just curious to see if Daddy would really break Elmo in half. we had a good laugh over it. :)

Snow Day with Daddy

We got a really nice snow storm Saturday morning. There was so much snow coming down, and Brian was out there as soon as he could be shoveling our driveway. I think that's his favorite thing to do. :) The kids wanted so badly to go out with him, so we told them after their naps they could. When they woke up we got them all dressed up to go play. I wasn't feeling very well, so I stayed in, but wow, did I miss out on fun. :) Brian built a big sledding hill for them, and then helped them build a snow man. I don't know if the kids were having more fun, or Brian. Personally I think Brian was. He kept asking me if I wanted to go sledding on his hill, but somehow, the thoughts of my 8 months pregnant body going down the hill didn't convince me. :) He & the kids had so much fun playing though, and came inside cold. Brian was sweet & gave them both a bath, & then fixed them their favorite dinner... Macaroni & Cheese. He is such a cute dad, and it was so nice being able to relax and enjoy the day being lazy, knowing that the kids were being taken care of by Daddy.



Brian said the kids enjoyed going down the hill together instead of alone. I'm glad their such great friends.


Brian even built steps for them to climb up. After using the sled for a while morgan & jackson decided it was more fun sliding on their bums. Brian was Morgan was a little dare devil, and watched some older girls in our neighborhood go down on their tummy's so she had to try it as well, and loved it.

Crazy Little Girl

Morgan is so funny! Lately when she and Jackson
take their naps, she will wait for 10-15 minutes in
her room while I read, then she will quietly sneak in
with her babies. On this particular day last week, she
came sneaking in with 5 babies, 2 stuffed bears, & her
blanket. She put them all on the bed like it was no big
deal. I was on the left side of the bed, and instead of
holding Morgan next to me, I was holding 3 nice babies
with the lovely smell of plastic. :) By the time all 5
babies were arranged on the pillow with the blanket
over them, there was no room for Morgan. I asked her
where she was going to lay, and she pointed to the spot
that was a couple of inches wide. What a funny girl.
She takes such good care of her babies. :)
* Another day, she was getting ready to take a nap
& Brian peeked in her doorway to watch her put her
babies to sleep. She would hold one, sing "I'm so glad
when Daddy comes home" to it, and then tell the baby
it was time for her to go to sleep. She would then pick
up the next baby, and repeat the process 3 or 4 times.
She is such a cutie & is such a sweet little mom. :)

Our Little Sunbeam! Morgan loved her first
day as a sunbeam. She was so cute, and it was
so fun watching her in Sharing Time.

Scrapbook Pages

I was just kind of playing around with the pics
I just took, and I decided to try and make a
scrapbook page that I can print & frame, so
hopefully I can print these okay, and frame
them in black frames and put them on my bare
red wall. Then when the baby is born I'll add
one of hers too. Maybe I should do a page just
of myself, and frame that in a big 16 x 20 for
Brian's side of the room. Hahaha :)

New Years Photos

Even with the kids being kind of goofy, I was able to get some really cute pictures of them. These are some of my favorites. It is weird to think of what will happen in 2008. Brian & I will celebrate our 6th anniversary in January, Brian will turn 28, me-26, we'll have a new little baby girl in February, and Morgan will turn 4 & Jackson 3. It's crazy to think that our kids are growing up so fast. We're excited for what 2008 will bring. Happy New Year!

New Years Photos of the kids

One of my goals this year is to be a little more patient with the kids. As you can tell from these pictures, they were trying to test my patience. :) They were a little crazy, but over all, they did a really good job. We'll see how they do when the baby is born and I'm trying to take pictures of all 3 of them. :)
