A Quarter of A Century

November 10, 2008 marked a milestone in Morgan's life. It was her 25th birthday!!! She had a wonderful day, as she got to go shopping with her mom and 2 girls. Terrel had to be out of town from saturday the 8th through thursday the 13th so he wasn't able to be here and was very upset he wasn't able to be here with me. He took me out Friday night to one of my fav restaurants JAlexanders and to get ice cream at Cold Stone.Then on Saturday night, my parents and brother, Bryce, and I went to eat at Houston's here in Atlanta...it was REALLY good!!! When we got back to our apt. on Friday night, my parents and brother, Bryce, Tegan, and Carley were there to surprise me with a party. Boy was I surprised!!! They totally caught me off guard. It was a fun party. Tegan loved it the most :):)

Blessing Day

***pictures of Carley in her blessing dress***

On November 2, 2008 Carley was blessed at church by Terrel. Standing in the circle were my dad, my brother, Bryce, and 2 members of the bishopric. This was such a special day for our family, as this is just the start of many wonderful things to come for Carley as well as the rest of us. Thank you to my Nanny(Carley & Tegan's great-grandma) and my cousin Whitney for making the effort to come up for this special day. We appreciate all those who participated in the blessing and for those in our family who were there. **Pics to come soon**

BOO!!!

Happy Halloween 2008!! We went trick-or-treating tonight with some friends from church who invited us to go....thanks Jen and James!!! We had a great time, and the neighborhood we went in was AMAZING!!!!! The people who live in this neighborhood decorate their houses for Halloween more than they do for Christmas.... there were thousands of people trick-or-treating in this one neighborhood. People were parked for miles away and there were cops directing traffic, etc. Tegan had a blast and was so stinkin' cute in her duck costume. Terrel & I were able to take Tegan by herself and spend some quality time with just her....thanks Mom & Dad for keeping Carley. We had a blast and hope you all had a very safe and happy Halloween as well!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

My dad's birthday was October 22. He turned the BIG 50!!! We took him to brunch the day before b/c he was going to be out of town on his actual birthday. When he got back in on Saturday, we had him a small surprise party(pics coming soon). I can't believe he's 50....still looks so young though!! Happy Birthday to a wonderful father and PaPa!!!!

Aquarium with Daddy

We went to the GA Aquarium again..but this time Terrel went too!!! Tegan had an extremely good time again and we were so happy to enjoy a fun day as a family!!! It's so fun to see Tegan's face when she sees something so exciting... it makes us so happy to see her so happy and enjoying herself. We wanted to spend the day and do something fun for Tegan, b/c she was having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to Carley, so we took her to the aquarium. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again!!!

One Month!!

Carley is now a month old. She is getting so big, so fast. Her little legs are really filling out. She is a very good baby, she sleeps really well(thank goodness) :):) Tegan is really loving her, and wants to hold her a lot. This month has gone by really really fast, we've really enjoyed ourselves in Atlanta so far and look forward to being here for a long time. Tegan and Carley keep us on our feet constantly....there's never a dull moment in our house. Tegan's "2's" are really coming out now, but we get through each day---some days easier than others. She is a very sweet big sister and can be a lot of help most of the time. Parenting to 1 is a lot different than parenting to 2, but we wouldn't change it for the world. It is a wonderful blessing to know our Heavenly Father trusts us to be parents, and we are so very grateful that He has given us two healthy beautiful girls to love and teach and be an example to.
