Such A Good Age

Some older pics that I forgot to post last time.

They set this up themselves. Dressed themselves and the dog and set out the helment and the football to pose for their LSU pics! Geaux Tigers!

Happy Birthday Wyatt! Another early birthday present. Derek was so excited and proud to get Wyatt his very first gun. It's a 308 that's all I know! And, he's suppose to be able to use that gun forever. We had to give it to him early b/c the youth hunt was Halloween weekend. He hunted hard that weekend, but didn't see much!

Pumpkin Patch.

One of Mom's favorite places!

the kids like it too!
Madelyn looks like she's in deep thought, but she's actually mad b/c Wyatt wouldn't roll down the hill with her. Mrs. Lucia I thought you would like this one. You always tell me that I stare off into space....I guess Madelyn does too! Wyatt was too busy driving the John Deere tractor down the hill and that was just too much for Madelyn...she didn't trust that tractor for a second!

Who could forget the famous pumpkin patch pic! He just loved it at age 1 can't you tell! My Wyatt had just woken up from a nap to hundreds of big orange things that look like balls but are too heavy to pick up!

October Field Trips!

Mom went to the Pumpkin Patch with Madelyn
and Yes, that's Madelyn calling up the turkey! She's really good at it! Watch out Dad and Wyatt! Madelyn really wanted to hold the bunny, but they wouldn't let her b/c they scratch too bad. She's been on a mission to talk anyone she can into getting her a bunny for her birthday. Don't let her get to you! .....unless you want to be like NaNa Lucia, let the animal live at your house. Madelyn's cat lives at her NaNa's house b/c I hate cats!

Madelyn and Annabelle milking the pretend cow!

And, Dad took Wyatt to the Farm in Folsum! Wyatt had been there twice before, so the farm wasn't what had him stoked. It was the fact that it would be his first time to ride that bus! We have been singing the wheels on the bus go round and round since he was born. I guess the song had an impact! He couldn't wait to get on that bus!

Wyatt tells us he has a girlfriend and her name is Maddie. And Barrett has a girlfriend and her name is Maddie, and yes it's the same Maddie! Don't you just love 5 year olds!

When they come home from the field trip, Derek says Delana they really do have a connection..they look for each other...they like to play together! That's Wyatt and Maddie below and Maddie's side kick Miss Anna Catherine! Anyway, the very next day, I said Wyatt I think you and Maddie are just really good friends and he says you know what Maddies says. I said what. He said Maddie wishes I was her brother! He said you know I really am a good big brother! And that he is!


One final memory for the notebook about this field trip. Check out Wyatt's pants in the bus pic! Derek sewed the hem b/c they were too long that morning before the field trip! Now, that's a good Dad! Kuddos to Derek. I have to extend the compliment b/c I could never do that. The needle and thread are not my friends!

Thank you Nana Lucia for taking some Halloween Pics! Mom loves them!

Trick or Treat Night! A favorite night in the Morgan House! The kids just love to dress up!

Wyatt was a soldier and Madelyn was supergirl. To play a long, me and Derek dressed ad Clark and Lois!

Both of my kids said Mom, you dressed up like Mrs. Sheena!

Wyatt came back from our second stop.... As he gets in the trailer, he says Mom, they said I could pick whatever I wanted and I got my first Hershey Bar! Must be a Morgan thing...I don't like plain Hershey bars!

And, there's Papa...he dressed up like a Mexican. For a day or 2, Wyatt wanted to dress up like Speedy Gonzales, but that didn't last long! While we're talking Mexican, I ask both kids everyday if they took a nap at school. Madelyn always says, yes, I take Mexican naps...I sleep long! They have to wake me up! My baby girl enjoys her siesta everyday!

Wyatt's Real Birthday! Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Happy Birthday Wyatt. 8:44PM, Wyatt Louis Morgan turned 6 years old. I went to his school and brought cupcakes and Capri Sun for the kids in his class and cantaloupe for Wyatt! All of the children enjoyed it! One little fella says, Where are the goody bags!

Wyatt says I get to wear a big birthday hat all day...he says not to lunch and outside but all day! I found a pic from his first school party when he was 2! Another big hat!

Wyatt got to pick where he wanted to eat and he wanted to eat at Ryan's b/c he can pick out his own food and they have lots of his favorites! Cantaloupe and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

And, they sang Happy Birthday To him.

Happy Happy Birthday We're so glad you came, Happy Happy Birthday from the Ryan's Gang Hey!

Wyatt and Madelyn's 5 and 6 Year Old Birthday Party at the Jumparoo!

Just wanted to post the invite so I could remember. This is my online notebook of memories!

Just a few random pics from the party. Thanks to everyone who came to share in this memory with my kiddos. I can remember my 5 year old birthday party and I know they will remember this one! They have been playing their hearts out with all of their new toys!

Well, just when you thought the weekend couldn't get any better!

Sunday morning I get a phone call at 8:30AM that says Wyatt shot a doe with the muzzleloader...I think it was a gut shot...we're gonna wait a couple hours then go look!

At 10:30AM....my little Wyatt's voice comes on the phone and says...it was a Buck momma. It's a 4 point! We found it in the hole!

He killed his first deer 3 days after he turned 6 years old! A 4 point on November 15th

I said Wyatt is your Dad freaking out. He said yes and Papa is the most excited!

I wasn't there, but I shared the moment on the phone!

When they got in the van the next morning. Madelyn said are you going to shoot another deer, he answered with one word! Monster! I think he's hooked!

The Birthday Princesses!

Madelyn had such a good time at Megyn's Cinderella Tea Party!

They are our birthday princesess ....they will always forever and forever share the same birthday!

A very cute Madelyn story. She says mom, did you ever get dressed up in your princess clothes and try to kiss a frog to see if it would turn into a prince. I said no, babe, I never tried it!

As Wyatt says...Come Friday, We're out of here! We're headed to Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving to see the Fike Family! Next post will be full of mountains! See you then. If you can't sleep this Friday night, pray for us, we'll be on the road until about 1AM! and then, all day on Tuesday!

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!
