Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Oregon with Shane's family. It was Morgan's first time seeing most of the family. It was also her first road trip and first time in 3 new states (Oregon, Washington and Idaho). Shane and I were a little apprehensive about driving the 800 miles to Oregon with 2 kids. The last time we attempted this was when Mason was 4 months old and he hated being in the car so Needless to say it was not the best trip the first time. Since that time we have flown but we thought it would be too much trouble with 2 car seats and out luggage and all the stuff we always bring back with us - so we drove. And...it wasn't so bad after all. Morgan traveled like a champ. She would wake up for her feedings and be up for about an hour and then go back to sleep for a few hours. Mason traveled pretty well too. Just give him a dvd player with a new Currious George movie and he was set. We also broke the trip up over 2 days so it was more bearable for all of us. We had a great time visiting every one. Mason had lots of fun playing with all the kids. Thanksgiving dinner was great as always and as always ate way too much. I had to document Morgan in her Thanksgiving shirt the says "Thankfull for Mommy"

3 Months Old

Morgan turned 3 months old on November 11th. She is so happy and smiley (eventhough I can't really catch a good smile on camera). She is a wonderful addition to our family and we can't imagin life without her. Actually it is somethimes hard to remember life before kids but we love it. Morgan is so sweet and mellow and agreeable. She sleeps all through the night and she is one a perfect schedule. She is so adorable and we love her!

My sister JoAnna made this cute strawberry hat for Morgan. It goes cute with her pants.

I love this dress on Morgan - so adorable!

Mason still loves his sister so much. Whenever I am taking pictures on Morgan he has to get in on the action.

Mason also likes to try out all of Morgan's things. He is sitting in her bumbo. He also likes to climb in the swing or give his buddy (blanket) a ride.

Trick-or-Treating

We took Mason out trick-or-treating after we finished carving pumplkins. Last year we were only able to go to a few houses before Mason got tired so this year he wanted to go to a lot more. After the first few houses he figured out that all the houses were giving out candy so he wanted to run up to all the doors. Shane really got a workout chasing after him while I pushed a sleeping Morgan around in the stroller.

Mason is one cute Kangaroo!

Mommy and Morgan the ladybug. Mason wouldn't take a picture with us. By this time he was so tired of his costume that he wouldn't keep it on anymore. We all had a great Halloween and are looking forward to next Halloween when Morgan will enjoy it more.

Carving Pumpkins

We kinda forgot about carving pumpkins until it was almost too late. Mason and daddy carved the pumpkin right before we went trick-or-treating. Daddy wanted to make a puking pumpkin. Mason thought it was so funny. He even made puking sounds once it was finished.

Hanging out with daddy

Mason loves hanging out with daddy and Morgan is getting better at being with daddy if mommy isn't around.

My two cute kids! Morgan just spit up 2 seconds before I took this picture

Pumpkin Patch

Shane and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch in Kaysville. It was the purfect time to go. It was in the afternoon while most kids were still in school and the weather was really nice and warm. Mason loved running around finding the perfect pumpkin with daddy. He also liked ridding in the wheelbarrow. First he picked out a little pumpkin for Morgan and one for himself. Then he and daddy went into the field to fin two big pumpkins. I was carring Morgan in the Snuglie and she didn't like it at all! She wasn't happy until I took her out. Overall it was a fun afternoon and I know Mason can't wait to carve the pumpkins with daddy.

2 Months Old

Morgan was 2 months old on October 11th. She had her 2 month well baby visit on the 12th. She was 23 inches long (74%). She weighed 10 lbs 15 oz (52%) and her head circumfrance was 15 inches (32%). She had to have 4 immunizations which were not fun at all. I hate when babies have to get shots. They look at you like why are you doing this to me. She was so upset after her shots that she went to sleep for a few hours. After she woke up the injection sites were really swollen and painful. She cried for a while which really upset big brother. Mason was so worried about her and was trying to give her toys to make her feel better. After some Tylenol and a bit of moving around on the floor she was feeling better. I thought she looked so cute with the bandaids on both legs. I hope by 4 months those legs will have gotten a little more chunky so the shots wont hurt as much.
