Morgan's 1st Birthday

Morgan turned 1 on August 6. We had a fun little party with cake, ice cream and of course presents and balloons. She is getting so big and it makes me a little sad since she is my last. She has been such a sweet little girl and the best baby I have had so I wouldn't mind keeping her this age forever because we all know what happens when they get older! She has no interest in her bottle anymore and she got a little stroller that has been helping her walk, so I am sure that will be the next milestone. She is so much fun and I look forward to all the fun things ahead.

Sewing Projects

I've decided I love sewing, if only there were more hours in the day for doing it! These are my latest projects. A hat and Easter dress for Malorie.

Chelsey's 16th Birthday

Chelsey turned 16 on the 1st which still seems so crazy to me that she can drive. We bought her a 97 two door Accord. We kept it a secret so she had no idea she was getting a car we kept telling her she could drive Jason's until we found a good deal on one for her. So on her birthday she chose to eat at Winger's then after we had family over for cake. After presents we blind folded her and took her outside where we had her car parked, she really was surprised and said she had no idea, so it was lots of fun to watch. So far she hasn't hit anything and I definately don't miss getting up to drive her to cheer every morning. I also love that for a while she will be more than happy to run errands for me (we'll see how long that lasts).

Malorie's 5th Birthday

Malorie's family party birthday cake

She got the stylin hair salon and her and Jake just love it. I will admit the rest of us love it to. We are all more than willing to sit on the floor and have them fix our hair. I love that!

It's just crazy to think that Malorie is 5 now. I remember when we all just moved in and all these little girls could barely walk, now they will all be going to kindergarten. Once they are school age it seems like time just flies and they grow even faster. We had two days of birthday celebration in a row. Tuesday she had her first ever friend party. She had 10 friends dressed like princesses and surprisingly they were all really good and I think everyone had fun. They were all so cute, they couldn't wait for her to open their present and then they wanted to talk about it and let everyone know how neat it was. The funniest was at the end when we broke open two make-up kits. They were all at the table with no mirror just silently applying several layers of make-up like it was the greatest thing ever. Then they would wash a little off and re-apply. We really enjoyed Elizabeths funny comments also. Then Wednesday Malorie chose her birthday dinner to be at McDonalds. So some of the family went their and then to our house for cake and ice cream. It was overall a good birthday but I'm definately glad to get it over.
