Little Bit of This and That

We all went for a final summer swim at Aunt RiRi's one afternoon. It was great to get together with everyone! Glad to visit with all the cousins.....not even half of them in the pics! Glad to see a pic of pour sweet Soul too. We had to say goodbye to Soul! He had a great life. He lived on 5 acres of land with 2 ponds and he got to go to the deer camp all the time! We'll miss you Soul! For those of you who don't know, Soul is Derek's brother's dog!

My Sweet Madelyn! She's doing so good in Pre-K. She's learning her phone number and she tries to read all of Wyatt's books that he brings home from Kindergarten! I told her to pick her towel up and put it in the washing machine the other day.....she said....you mean that thing that you put the salt in! She sees me put the washing powder in it.........Salt in a 4 year old's eyes!

NaNa Cya took these for her beauty pageant!

A good picture of Wyatt that I forgot to post back in June. He went to pick blueberries with his NaNa Lucia!

Very cute Wyatt story. We went out to eat one Friday night this past month. On the way home, Derek wanted to stop at Jack In the Box for a malt. We pulled in but the line was very very long and the last time we sat in that drive thru, we sat for like 20 minutes, so I was like no way, So he pulls in to park but overheard that the place was closed, so we just left. We're getting back on the interstate in Walker and Wyatt is in the back of van saying Why are we leaving, Why are they closed, Why can't we get an ice cream, Why can't I spend the night at Nana's house. and Derek says, Son, Why do you have to ask Why....I"m telling you we are going home, not getting ice cream. Wyatt says, I'll tell you Why I have to ask WHY b/c my name is WHY IT! we were dying laughing ! I had to think of Charlie Gauthier for a second right there. he has called him Why Not since he was born!

Another cute Wyatt story. We all went to Walmart one night, something we don't do often! Wyatt was hanging on the front of the buggy and he fell and he hurt his arm. He didn't fall that hard, we didn't make a big deal out of it. He kept saying my arm hurts. Derek says son, is it broke...he says no, I still have it! It's right here!

Fair Time once again.

The first weekend in October is always a busy weekend for us!

Wyatt and Barrett rode in the fair parade together this year. Wyatt rode Little Bit's baby horse Chica and Barrett rode Little Bit! They both participated in the showmanship after the parade and both walked away with ribbons....... I'm afraid we have another set of Morgan boys on the lose! Thanks to Keri for taking such good pics!

The first pic is when the boys were 2 years old......too little to ride, but they could sport their hats! How fast they grow up, now they are both 5!

Momma's little cowboy at age 1 and still Momma's little Cowboy at age 5 almost 6!

That's not his mad face, that's his tough Cowboy face! :)
Few more parade pictures!


Princess Madelyn decided to be in the beauty pageant. It was back and forth for a while. She wasn't sure if she wanted to walk by herself. But, then I found out the day before the pageant that I had to walk with her. She loves to get all dressed up and do her make up. She was excited b/c her best bud at daycare was in the pageant with her! Miss Annabelle and Miss Madelyn were the prettiest ones there.....we don't care what those judges say!

Me and Madelyn went to the mall together and we both picked this dress out. I had to have one that she was comfortable in and one that she liked, or we would be miserable. Madelyn loves polk a dots...she draws me pictures all the time with polkadots!


She did so good. She smiled and she wasn't shy at all! I was VERY proud. She had decided she would walk to the X's by herself but then at the last minute she said I"m gonna need you to walk with me and tell me secrets in her ear! So, I did! She was glowing with beauty!
She didn't win anything this year, and she was a little bummed. She just kept saying, but I did so good. And, she did! We just didn't have the kind of beauty they were looking for this time! But, she was pleased to get some "Good Job Gifts" Thanks to Nanna and Aunt Amy for the gifts. Mom and Dad got her some princess pajamas and that helped too!

And, then the next day, she says, Mom can you just call that lady and she can get my a trophy b/c I did so good. And of course, mom did just that. I called the lady at the trophy place and got my Princess a trophy!

Family Night at the Fair! We enjoyed some family time out with The Macks! Dylan and Wyatt were glad to see each other. They went to daycare together every single day for 4 straight years and now they are in different schools for kindergarten! And, both doing very well, I might add! Kuddos to Children's Cottage for that! :)

Gotta Get A Dog at The Fair! When I was very very pregnant with Madelyn, it was Wyatt's first fair and I still went, b/c any kind of first is important to me as you can tell from just about every entry on this blog! It was his first corn dog at the fair. I get a corn dog picture every year! Found a few on my computer, so I thought I would share!





Another First!

On October 7, 2009 during Mrs. Betsy's Phonic's lesson, Wyatt Morgan pulled his first tooth by himself! He wanted to know where the tooth fairy puts all of those teeth that she gets! And, if she looked a little bit like Tinker Bell! He got 8 bucks from the tooth fairy and spent it the next day. He was shooting for $10, but Dad gave him the 2 extra bucks, so he could get that gun at the Dollar Store!

Few More Firsts!

We finished out the month of August strong and started September even stronger!

First Time in a long time, to get pics of these 3 together!

I just love my little nephew Justus. He wants to know if Wyatt and Madelyn can go to his Honey Bee's house to play Hungry Hungry Hippo with him!

Wyatt started Gymnastics for the first time! He begged and begged me. I said now Wyatt you might be the only boy....he says I don't care, I can do that stuff! And, he can! He loves it. I have been told this is not something that will become serious, just for fun so he can learn some strength skills! Wyatt volunteers to go first for every activity, he does enjoy it!

Mom's just glad, they can both go on the same night, at the same time!
Here's my girl!

First Time for Wyatt to receive Student of the Month at Doyle Elementary. I think it was for September. It came out on the September newsletter! Mrs. Betsy is his teacher and she selected him. We are super excited about this and very proud of Wyatt. He really does try hard to listen and obey all of the rules! Way to go Wyatt! :) That's my Little Wyatt on the far right down in front!

Little bit of Kindergarten talk! Wyatt says, I don't have time to stand in that long lunch line and eat my food! He's all about eating his food! He was super excited this moring. He had cantaloupe, peanut butter and jelly, 1 small hershey bar and some sweet tea in his lunch bag!

He got a coupon to the Mexican restaurant with his certificate and he said he has to go eat their with his NaNa Lucia b/c she's Mexican!
Wyatt told his NaNa Cya, ....you know the older I get, the more Mexican I will get! Son, I think this is as Mexican as you will get in this little picture right here!

First time to visit the park off of Daryple, and the first time for us to meet the Gauthier's new dog, Princess Bella! We all just love Bella! She's a cutie! The park is super nice. It is right next to a dog park that Raising Canes sponsors....how clever of them!

Happy Early Birthday to Madelyn!

I was so impressed with little Bella that I wanted to find out where she came from. Sheena called the girl where she got Bella from to find out where she came from and lo and behold....her sister had a dog from the same litter that she was looking to get rid of! College girl that just didn't have time for the dog! So, Madelyn's birthday present came early! We had been talking about names b/c she talks about Mickey all the time. You saw Mickey during the last post! She had decided she liked the names, Casey, Barbie or Daisy....and just so everyone knows....it's Daisy like Daisy Duck, not like the flower! Introducing Miss Daisy Duke Morgan! That's what we call her Daisy Dukes!
Daisy when she first arrived

and Daisy after!

I told Madelyn that a great big box had come in the mail for her and this what it looked like. She can't read, but she said I think this is from the Puppy Farm! Thanks to Miss Morgyn for drawing those puppies!

Few pics, I couldn't get many and still enjoy the moment. It was one of those moments a mom will never forget! She was sooooo excited!

Madelyn's First Puppy!

The first week of September had one more first!

The First Morgan Mini Van! Yes, I love my kids enough to drive a mini van! This is the coolest mini van ever! 2 TV's, 6 moonroof's, leather bucket seats, a back up camera, 1 million buttons and this morning I pressed a new button and a woman started to talk back, NO JOKE!

Thanks to Sheena and Derek for making this happen! Sheena worked her magic and jewed them down!

The kids absolutely love it! Wyatt decided not to take the trip to Lake Charles to get it and boy was he sorry, he called Derek like 6 times on the way home to see how much longer!

Wyatt, says, finally a car I can kick back and relax in!

They just love it and I love that they love it! I'm on the look out for a bumper sticker that says I love my kids so much that I'm driving this mini van! NO, I love it to!

kiddos in the back with the headphones! They like to sit in the back...well mostly Madelyn does! And I like that they are separated! And we have plenty of leg room! OR BOOK SACK ROOM! THEY DON'T HAVE LONG LEGS THAT GET IN THE WAY YET!

We loaded the van down Labor Day and took 6 kids to the zoo! You read it right 6 kids! They were all good and had a real good time!

My little JMan says. I see a map....he had to look at it! He wanted to know where the restrooms were on the map! He's hilarious! Then, he wanted to stop at every map after that! I said Justus I've been to this zoo 100 times, I can get you to every bathroom here!
