It's Luke's Turn

Morgan's second cousin, Luke Horton, came to visit while his mom and dad helped his grandparents move. They had a blast. Luke was a doll.

Morgan and Luke were playing so sweetly... until Morgan had to share. I explained that it was Luke's turn. This video sums up Morgan's reaction.

Turkey Bowl and the Orthopedic Surgeon

Dan the man has an appointment on the 10th with an orthopedic surgeon. His knee has filled with fluid. We went to Holiday in the Park Sunday night and he was using the stroller as a walker. Hmmm. Ok, I'm told that this is a reoccurring problem that happens each year as the weather changes. I think that the "Turkey Bowl" might be a contributing factor.

We had a blast! Each year the guys from Dow's church get together for the "Turkey Bowl" on Thanksgiving morning. He described it as a bunch of middle age fat guys trying to relive their youth on the football field. Dan's team won! Morgan and I sat on the sidelines for about an hour. Morgan's new favorite food is Kix. We also took his blanket which he is now calling key-key. He used to call it his night-night. I think that he is picking up on the last part of blankie. He is now also calling his belly button his butt. I can see where he gets butt. It's just so funny to watch him point to his stomach and yell, "BUTT!"

I Slept with Darth Vadar

This is what I now sleep next to every night! Yea! I'm so thrilled! Dan FINALLY got his CPAP machine three years and three sleep studies after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. It's done wonders for me. I know that's funny to say. But, his snoring was so loud that even the tv couldn't drown it out. Now, I just hear the beautiful humming of the CPAP machine. It's like a nice breeze compared to the old noise. It's been an adjustment for Dan. Can you imagine strapping into that get-up every night? But, I think that he's already getting better sleep. He actually had the first dream in years the other night. He hadn't reached R.E.M. sleep in years.

Heard Museum with the Smiths

We took Morgan to the Heard Museum with Amy, Kevin and AJ this morning. We toured the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit and saw the Animals of the World exhibit. Then, we took the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese to blow off all of their steam. Morgan took a two hour nap when we got home. He just woke up a little while ago and is laying on his dad watching some boring racing show on tv right now. Ah, my men!

Morgan and AJ loved bouncing on their daddy's shoulders. It's pretty high up there. Dan is 6'4" and Kevin is 6'5"!

I've noticed that some of my videos are uploading to YouTube and viewing in low quality. You need to click the view in high quality button at the bottom of the video once it plays.

Yes, I did have goldfish in my bag. But, NO, I did not put the goldfish in the dinosaur's mouth. Someone beat me to it.

Daddy's Little Hunter

Dan can't wait until Morgan is old enough to go hunting with him. John actually gave him a Rossi .22 shortly after he was born. Thanks Johnny!

So, I bought this adorable hat for Morgan eons ago. He's taken up a huge infatuation with wearing hats lately. I just love him in this outfit. Morgan is laughing at himself in the mirror. He knows that he looks gooooooooood!
