HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Today is my sweet husband's birthday. He is the most wonderful father to our girls. They look up to him sooo much. Tegan is such a daddy's girl, she definitely has him wrapped around her little finger. Carley is still pretty much mommy's girl, but she still lights up when daddy comes around. Terrel does so much and sacrifices so much to enable me to stay home with our girls. We love spending our afternoons and weekends with him. He is so good with the girls and loves to play with them. Thank you for all you do for us, Terrel. We love you so much and are so happy you are ours forever!!!

We had a little party once Terrel got home from work, I made him one of his favorite desserts for his birthday 'cake'... Cherry Cream Cheese Pie, then we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory---we got the waitress and other waiters/waitresses to sing Happy Birthday to him and they brought a delicious piece of cheesecake!!!....Tegan really enjoyed having the party for Terrel, she gets so excited!!!

Tegan "Says the Darndest Things"

Tegan is such a funny little girl!!! She says some of the funniest things and we have no clue where she gets it from. I am going to start blogging the things she says so we will have a memory of it later in life.

Funny things Tegan says:
*I(Morgan) had a pedicure done yesterday and we were about to head out the door to go to Morgan's parent's house and Terrel touched my foot or something and I replied with, "Please don't mess up my toes." Tegan then says, "It's ok Mommy, I'll take you to Nana's, I promise."
*We were on our way to Morgan's parents house another day, and Tegan said, "Nana's house is terrific"
*We were washing Terrel's car yesterday and Tegan said,"Daddy's new car is terrific" (note: we've had our "new" car since January, but Tegan still calls it Daddy's new car.
*Tonight, Terrel and Tegan laying on the floor and Terrel is laying about an arm length away from Tegan and she keeps telling him, "Daddy, get closer" b/c she wants him to lay right next to her and put his arm around her.
*she also says majority of the time "I'm Daddy's Fweet(sweet) Girl" but sometimes she'll say "Mommy's sweet girl"

Sewing

Well...I FINALLY finished my first 3 sewing projects.... I actually did a pretty good job considering it was my first time EVER to sew....others may think not....It wasn't really hard to do, just time consuming since I have 2 little ones at home needing my attention. It took a while to do, but I finally finished them... I am very proud of myself if I may say so myself.

Carley's 'FUN' Easter dress


Tegan's 'FUN' Easter Dress

HALF A YEAR

Carley is 6 months!! WOW....it has gone by incredibly fast. She is an extremely happy baby(as I write this, she is in her swing crying b/c no one is talking to her) so I guess I better say that about 99% of the time she is very happy. She absolutely LOVES her big sister. Every time Tegan comes in the same room that Carley is in, little Carley's face just lights up with the biggest grin and a bit of excitement comes from her voice. She continues to brighten our lives each day.

She currently weighs in at :

18 lbs 10 ounces (95-97%)
and her height is:
26 1/2"(75%).

She is our

"Chunky Monkey",

"Chunky Cheese",

"Chunkster",

and her daddy's "beautimos".

She just cut her first tooth TODAY!!! She rolls both ways(since 4 months), she can scoot, she babbles and squeals, and laughs ALL THE TIME. She loves her fingers and now her toes. She is our smiley girl and we absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this little girl.

MY LITTLE TEGAN IS GETTING SOOO GROWN UP. SHE HAD HER FIRST HAIRCUT TODAY!!! MY & HER COUSIN, WHITNEY, IS IN COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL AND WE LOVE FOR HER TO PRACTICE ON US SO I LET HER GIVE TEGAN'S HAIR A TRY AND SHE DID AN AWESOME JOB. SHE CUT OFF AT LEAST 5 INCHES IF NOT MORE.
