This year you could tell how much Morgan had grown. She was able to ride much bigger rides, and she was fearless! Cannon slept through the entire trip :-)
There is a really funny story about this ride...but I don't think I can do it justice by writing about it. If you want to hear it, give me a shout.
Morgan REALLY wanted to ride the big swings, but I kept telling her she was too little to ride them. First off, I am scared of this ride, and I really did think she was too little. So all through lunch she sat in that chair just like in the picture and every 10 seconds or so she would turn around and say, "I sure do wish I were big enough to ride those swings." So after about a 20 mintue guilt trip I told Morgan we could go measure her to see if she was big enough to ride. All the time I was just sure she was too small. Well once we got there it turns out Morgan WAS tall enough to ride...
So, Morgan and Ben rode the swings. Once Morgan was seated, I could tell right away she had some anxiety. From the ground where I was standing I could see the scared look on her face, and was worried that this ride was not going to be over soon enough. But once the ride got started, and Ben convinced her it was fun, I could see her smiling, and her feet kicking all the way to the end.
Here is Morgan after riding the swings. I am sure she would do it again in a heart beat :-)
Well the past six weeks have absolutly zoomed by. Since Cannon has been born we have been on the go non stop! We have had so much fun though :-) Cannon is very easy going and just along for the ride. I think the biggest difference in having one kid instead of two is that when your first baby comes along your whole life changes. When the second one comes, you just add them to your family. You realize that your life doesn't stop when you have a baby, and that you just do what works for you. Forget all the junk you read (even though I still read all the time) because when it comes to your baby and your family there is nothing in a book that will ever answer the question you have. That being said, having Cannon added to them family has been wonderful. Morgan is such a great big sister, and can be very helpful with him.
Since the weather is supposed to be getting nicer, Morgan has been wanting to spend more time outside on her swing set. It was even nice enough one day that she waded in mom and dads pool. There is no way I would have been in there though, it was COLD!!
One day last week Morgan, Cannon, my mom and I all packed it up and went to Firehouse Pottery and Morgan painted a birthday plate. (Pictures to come later). And every Tuesday Morgan has gymnastics.
I had my last Grad. class this week. Too bad I don't walk until December. I wonder if I'll even want to by then...
The Birthday Girl!
We took Morgan to Incredible Pizza for lunch, the LOUDEST place on earth!!! This is what Cannon did... I swear he has very good hearing :-)
Tea cups!
Choo Choo!
Morgan has had ice cream on her list of things to do on her birthday for awhile now. She said, "I want to go to the ice cream place with the fruit and candy on top." So Peach Wave is where we went!
Present time!
Morgan calls them, "pupcakes." Ithink its cute :-)
Nanny Doris got her a mini basketball goal. I see team sports in her future!
