Happy Birthday Grandpa

Tonight we celebrated My Father-in-Law's birthday.  He turned a young 58..Woohoo!!  He Looks great!  We made him our famous Ice-Cream Triple Chocolate Fudge cake...mmmmm

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!  We love you!!

from this side it looks like the candles read 85...hehe

Our sweet little niece Alianna, she looks like a miniature whitney :)

the sugar overload is starting to kick in..Tylers going a little nut-so.  I think that cake must be around 2000 calories per serving, horrible I know..lol!

Can't forget the Tedsters, that's grandpa's sidekick!  Teddy is super duper spoiled  very loved!

Woo hoo...it's the start of the Summer!

Seriously, I thought this warmer weather would never get here! It's been great enjoying these cool night & mornings and warm days, ugh, I'm in heaven!

I've arranged to take off 2 days a week this summer to spend with the kids, so far I'm lovin' all this time on my hands...it's been a while!

So, what does summer mean to the Morgan Kids??

For Alexa it means grabbing all the items she'll need for the next 8 hours and heading out the door to play hard with her BFF Imani. We won't see her till lunchtime, snacktime & dinnertime

For Kyla it means an abundance of video games she's allowed to play, for as long as her little hearts content!  No Joke here my peeps!  Occasionally she'll stop playing to answer her phone and yack a bit, notice her phone is in reaching distance??  :)

For Paige it means lounging like a cat all day!  This was a lucky day and she was home but lately she's been out & about her with new BFF Jessica.   Those 2 are inseperable....aww, the simple joys of being a sophmore again..

For Bo, well, I think it's quite obvious isn't it?  He gets pampered like a newborn baby!  He's got his whole human family home with him all day to spoil him and play with him, he LOVES his summer vacations with his humans!  Look how good the girls are to him?  He get's MY pillow.

For Tyler, well, we couldn't find him for our summer pictures.  He mysteriously went MIA with the brandnew bag of popsicles that I bought.  I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't eat his dinner tonight!  lol

What's a boy to do?

When he has 3 sisters who love to tourture him?  Instead of saying no, he decided he will join in on the nail polish fun and paint his entire face with black nail polish. Yep, he did!  Ty caught him outside with black painted eyebrows, a black mustache & black toenails...LOL!  I could hardly contain myself!

That poor sweet little boy had to wash his face for about 20 minutes before it all came off, his response: "I have mean sisters".  Indeed you do my little buggers!  It took all I had to keep a straight face through the whole event, ugh, I'm such a mean mommy!!!

        
                                               isn't he just adorable??  I mean serisously!

his poor little face was beat red!!

I can't wait!

Yes, here I go again...yacking about my excitment to move to flagstaff.  I seriously can't wait to move up there and enjoy their beautiful town & forests.  C'mon, is that not the most beautiful scenery or what?! It's so peaceful!  Not to mention, the people were so amazingly nice...every single person we seen said hello with a kind smile..this is my kind of place!

We spent the day up there yesterday searching for houses & narrowing it down to the specific neighborhoods we liked, the problem was that I like ALL of them!  I've never been to a place where I have enjoyed literally the whole town, normally I am scouting out the areas I feel will suit our lifestyle the most.  Flagstaff has it all, in all areas.  The homes were amazing, your true "All American Home".  Lush green landscaping and bountiful trees abroad.  The neighborhoods had children all over, there were huge parks in every neighborhood we looked at.  My kids were in heaven, every park we seen we were forced to stop..lol. 

We think we have it narrowed down to about 5 areas, I know, it's alot huh?  hehe.  Ty wants simple, I want square footage and the kids want grass, but we all want affordable...lol.  It will be quite the hunt. 

We're movin' on up...

to Flagstaff Arizona, that is. The decision is 99.9% positive as of now.  Talk about a whirlwind of moves we have made these past few years, you'de think by now that our kids would be used to moving..NOT! 

We're not sure how long we will be living there but hopefully we will all adjust to the winters fairly quickly, did I tell you that we will be moving there in the middle of winter??  Ugh, yuck!  We're gonna turn into little eskimos..hehe.

Flagstaff has the most beautiful summers, trees, natural forests and it's such a diverse community.  Flagstaff is also where the hubster works, he will get to spend more time with the family instead of commuting several hours each and every day, which is torturous for him.

It's kind of exciting to move to a whole new place again, but also sad to be leaving a place that we have grown to love like Prescott.  Who knows, maybe we'll just end up back here afterall...hmmm

Vegas trip

The vegas trip was a nice break from reality, we lost our asses we were thrilled to have enough gas money to get home!!  YAY!!  Kris, luckily for her, had better luck then us!!  She was a winning machine, the stars were cetainly aligned for her that weekend.

It was a nice, relaxing weekend and I can't wait to go back because I think I still have some partyng in me, lol.  We enjoyed ourselves on our final night at my most favorite restaurant, Benihana.  For those of you who have never been, you HAVE to go!!  It's the best experience ever!!

Ty & I at Benihana, I HATE this picture of myself!

Bill & Kris

They both really enjoyed themselves, it was so neat to watch them having so much fun!

Mothers Day

Talk about a nice relaxin weekend!  Very seldomly do I get to relax and kick my feet up and let everyone else do all the housework/mom work, but this Mothers Day was such a nice change of pace and talk about a treat for mom!!! In all honesty, it was VERY hard for me to sit back and relax and not feel the urge to jump up and fold laundry, I kept staring at that huge pile of laundry and it was all I could do to not think about how much work I would be doing monday if someone didn't get to folding, and quickly. lol

These are my beautiful Calla Lillies Ty bought me, along with a card that had me teary eyed, he always knows how to do it right!!

Is this not the cutest little thing you've ever seen?  It's a recipe holder, love it!!!  Even better, she made it all herself  ;)

This was my FAVORITEST part of Tylers book he made me...he's the best!!

Hopefully you all had a fabulous mothers day also!!!
