Peter Pan Clan

Costume Decisions Finalized - Christian finally chose Peter Pan, probably because GREEN is his absolute "fabe-rit color" and he loves to fight Captain Hook with his sword! "I got you Cack-tain Hook!" I decided to save Mason from dressing as Tink and be her myself (a plus-size, non-slutty, brunette version).

Dad looks more like a hippie but we went budget Captain Hook meets Captain Jack Sparrow - and he already dropped the hat and coat before we got a pic.
And those Morgans can eat!! Troy and his sister Stacey won the pie eating contest at our big family party. I'm so proud of the family talent. Good work!
Yet another costume choice?? Can you tell we like Halloween at our house?!

Halloweens of Past

2007 - Our Little Monkey, 18 months
2006 - Cowboy Christian, 6 months

A few have asked why none of just me and Troy from our early years - too bad I don't have any digital but those could be interesting...

Now all you fellow bloggers, it's your turn to dust off your old Halloween pics and post them for all to see!

More Publicity for the COBBLER

For those of you who just happen to see this in time, Troy and the Village Cobbler will be on channel 2 news at 10 tonight! They interviewed them for quite awhile today so we're excited to see how the story turns out!

Who knew being a cobbler was such a novelty these days?? Great FREE advertising to say the least, way to go honey!!

Witch Hunting at Gardner's Village

Everything is "Spooky Halloween" according to Christian, then he reminds us "it's just pretend mom, it's just pretend" as he tries to convince himself. Buzz enjoyed dancing with the witches and shouting his catch phrase: "To Infinity and Beyond."

Apparently he's already at the age when the costume choice changes daily so watch for more costums to come...and he always announces what the rest of us will be. The latest: "I'm gonna be Peter Pan-that guy that flies and daddy will be Cack-tain Hook and mommy is Wendy and Mason will be Tinkerbell!" Such a great imagination. I thought a pirate was more appropriate for Mason than Tinkerbell but we'll see what Christian thinks come Halloween. Aren't holidays so much better with kids around?! I just love Halloween-time...

Go Utah!

Family Bonding time at the Utes game a couple weeks ago. Christian loves loves loves sports and will actually watch the game, as long as there's a big bag of popcorn on his lap. Gotta love the 80's glasses compliments of Aunt Paige and Nana.

Cobbler in News

Twins??

Check this out, Christian at 3 months in the same outfit as Mason below...striking resemblance!

Mr. Mason - 3 Months Old

Our Little Mason
* Loves to be held and halked to constantly
* Has 4 dimples when he smiles big, one in each cheek and above the corners of his mouth like a little mustache. His Big Blue Eyes smile too-melts mom's heart...
* Sneezes in the sunlight (guess the myth is true).
* Mommy calls him lil' Stink when he's fussy, also appropriate for his gas issues, this kido rips the loudest farts!
* Is very vocal - always grunting, moaning, cooing or screaming - gotta love those sweet baby sounds.
* Sleeps best on his tummy, helps soothe those dang gas pains.
* Giggles when Big Brother "baby talks" to him.
* Will not take a binky, much to Mom & Dad's dismay. Discovered his Thumb yesterday (hooray-this boy needs a little self-soothing action).

We are so grateful to have Mason in our lives, he brings us so much joy (even if the lil' stink keeps us up all night :)

To Infinity and Beyond!

Testing out the Buzz costume from Grandma's vast selection. We peered out to the deck to see Christian leaping from the lawn chair shouting "TO INFINITY AND BEYOND" as he jumped. If only we could all play like 2-year-olds, such a joy!

Lazy Morning

We just got dressed for the day. Ate breakfast at 11 and feeling totally unmotivated. Maybe it's the back to work hangover (yes it was my first week back) or the serious lack of sleep (baby needs sleep training). Or maybe it's exhaustion from non-stop play the last few weeks. My house is a disaster, anyone know of a good housekeeper for hire?? It looks like another beautiful day out and cold weather will arrive soon (so depressing). Guess we'll say no to chores today and go play some more.

Another Day at the Zoo

We frequent the zoo often thanks to the good ole' season pass. Christian's favorite Aunt Nat, Uncle Andrew, and cousins Braxton & Hailee were in town from Cali so Christian was thrilled to hangout with them! As you can see, it was more like Andrew & the kid's day at the zoo. He makes a great Manny! Christian pretends to call "Bob & Nat" daily, I'll hear him in the other room "hi Bob & Nat, what doing? I'm just hanging out with my mom. You come on airplane to my house?" He misses them dearly!




The highlight of the day was getting to meet Troy's high school girlfriend (who sent him on his mission with talks of marriage) - pretty entertaining - I was video taping my kido on the merry-go-round and she was in the background of all my shots. She was actually really nice...dang I should have taken a picture to post :)

Mason's Special Day

We blessed Mason at church last Sunday and it turned out to be such a great day with all our family! Christian didn't know what to do having everyone he loves and adores all in one place - he was on cloud nine!
