It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.....

You would cry too if it happened to you!!!

That pretty much sums up Morgie's 4th birthday party. She woke up that morning and I noticed that her body was warm. I took her temp and it was really low grade. She said that she felt fine and she acted fine. So, we got ready, ate breakfast, and I took her to my mom's house while I went and picked everything up and got ready. Mom brought Morgan over about 30 minutes before the party started and she was good. We took some pics of her with the cake (she is holding up 4 fingers).

She played in the Jump House with Angela's kids and Bitty Baby.

She even gave Bitty a gymnastics lesson!

We got pics of her with her Minnie ears on...

And a pic of us together, since we have none!

Love her! My cup runneth over!

Very soon after these pictures were taken it went severely downhill, about the time that the guests were arriving. Oh, it was horrible. Goodness only knows what her temp was, but she was burning up to the touch. We got some Tylenol in her and this is what most of the party looked like.

She was pitiful. After about an hour I guess the medicine started to take effect a little. I got her to say that we could do cake. She was alright until they started singing. Then this happened....

COMPLETE meltdown! Needless to say there was NO singing! She wouldn't eat anything and I thought that we were just going to have to pack the presents up and let her open them later. Finally, I got her to open just one. This one was lovely and decorated by Miss Cheyenne! The present was pretty cool too!

Look how red her little face is.....so pitiful! Then the next one was the best present ever!

It was a little horse in a carrying case with a brush and food. Do any of you remember that all Morgan wanted for christmas was a horse? Well, she again told Bethie that was what she wanted for her birthday. Only Bethie could come up with a present this good. She got Morgan a 1 hr riding lesson! All I have heard since then is "I want to go see the horsey, when are we gonna go see the horsey???" That Bethie is too too good for her own sake!

After that she opened the rest of her presents as long as I let her sit in my lap.

She got lots of art stuff and books. She is really into drawing and always has loved books. And lots of other great gifts. She racked up! She got a really cute sticker book below as part of her gift from Angela and her gang. You use these re-usable stickers to dress the princesses with. She loves it!

And, we got to give Triston his birthday present. Poor boy, his birthday party got interrupted by the tornadoes that went through a couple of months ago. Needless to say, we didn't make it. He is so cute. He is also a foster child. DFCS wants to make posters and use Morgan & Triston as their poster kids. They say with these two they should be able to rake in some foster parents!

Look how stinkin' cute they are~!

As everyone was leaving Morgan really started perking up and wanted her dress on. So, we took a picture of her, Molly, and Livi with their Minnie ears.

We came home and Morgan took a nap and woke up feeling great. She played with her balloons and all of her new toys for the rest of the day!

What a day! All in all Morgan never seemed upset like she felt that she missed her party or anything. She still talks about it and says her favorite part, of course, was the Minnie Mouse cake and pupcakes....even though she never ate any of it!

Well girls, that finally concludes the 4th birthday bash....2 weeks later! Happy Wednesday!

Friday the 13th....Happy Birthday Morgan!!!

Finally, I am posting pics of Morgan's actual birthday, the 13th....Friday the 13th no less. I can remember Bethie being mortified that Olivia was born on the 13th because of that exact sinario...and I made fun of her! Karma bits! Actually it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. I had a nice surprise for Morgan when she woke up, or should I say when I woke her up! I had blown up a zillion balloons and put them in the living room with a bag full of goodies. Unfortunately, I don't have those pics here at work. She loved it! Then I had to take her to a visit with her mother, aunt, and some uncle that she has never seen....don't ask.... I am just now getting over how that was allowed! Luckily she rebounded quite nicely and we did a little shopping for her party the next day. Then we went home and played. It was the most mellow day that I was off, and it was quite nice. We both enjoyed staying at home and playing.


We played dress up...

We danced and sang with Morgan's princess cd player. And then Morgan went into a riveting game of peek-a-boo!

I see you!!!!

Later in the afternoon Nana & Papa came over and gave Morgan part of her present....as Morgan calls it....a Princess Cheerleader Scooter!!!!

Then my sister and niece came over and they hit the pool. My niece is such a good sport and loves playing with Morgan....even in a kiddie pool! God Bless her, but they are CUTE!!!

We also tried out Morgan's new whale slide/pool. She loved it.

And got quite wild on it.... going on her tummy and backwards.

Yep, she loved it!

You know what else she loved. The sprinkler that soaked everyone in a 20 foot radius! That was HILARIOUS. I don't think that I have seen my parents move that fast in a while, maybe ever!

Finally, it was time to head inside and open more gifts from my sister and the kids. She got the Bitty Feeding set. Can you tell that she likes it???

And a high chair to feed her babies in.

Since then Morgan has the best fed babies in the land!

It was a great day and Morgan LOVED staying at home and playing most of the day.

Now, I know that Chris has done a much better job of recapping Miss Linds B-day, but I promise to get the final post in this week, hopefully.....

4th Birthday Pictures

These are the low resolution proofs that the studio sent to me. We had them made Thursday after Bitty Fun Day. I hope that you enjoy as much as I did.

Look how BIG my baby is!!!

What a priss!

Love this smile....

I had decided against letting her have her picture made with Bitty, but they were so cute that day.... and she really wanted to.... so I decided to let her. I think that the pics with Bitty Baby were the best ones. Great for her room. She loves this baby doll!

My favorite collage

Morgan with her "pupcake". I didn't buy any of this one but I love it!

And they made this card. It is really cute and I love the colors.

It pretty much sums this post up.

I AM FOUR !!!!

4th Birthday Part Deux

On Thursday, Morgan got her surprise from me. A trip to the American Girl Store for Bitty Fun Day! My girl LOVES this store, almost as much as me, Bethie, and Ang, but that is another story..... Anyway, a couple of months ago, I signed Morgan up for this and was glad that the day had finally arrived. I also got Morgan and Bitty Baby the matching birthday dresses just for that day. I refrained from telling her what her big surprise was until Thursday morning. I got her dressed in her new dress and then told her to get get Bitty and we would change her too. She was so excited that they matched.

A picture before we left.

I really didn't know what to expect when we got there. The descriptions of the day were a little vague. We were excited because not only did we have this planned, but Kit's best friend Ruthie just made her debut this month and Morgan had been asking to see her. Kit is Morgan's favorite big girl. Here is the first pic that I took of Morgan once we got seated.

It was the PERFECT mother/daughter experience. They had tables seat for however many were in each party. So, we had our own table. The table was set with pink lemonade and strawberry muffins. Too cute! Morgan felt like such a big girl, AND most importantly Bitty got her own seat at the table.

Morgan enjoying her lemonade.....

and coloring her picture of the Bitty Bunch.

They also go to learn songs and rhymes about all of the Bitty Bunch. It was really cute.

Everyone was getting really cracked up because every time that they finished a song Morgan would turn around and scream, "Look Mommy, I did it!!"

Bitty Baby and her Mommy Morgan. Morgan always points out that she is Bitty Baby's mommy just like I am her Mommy. Too cute!

We had so much fun that neither of us wanted to leave. It is such an experience and Morgan felt so special.

Afterwards we went to get Morgan's pictures made. I let her have some made with her and Bitty in their matching outfits, and I'll be darned if they didn't turn out to be the best ones out of all of them! What can I say the little one loves her Bitty Baby.

After a fun filled day Morgie was exhausted and this is how she ended her day.....tuckered out in her new BIG girl seat....with Bitty!

That my friends is going to be alot to live up to! I think that a trip to the House of Mouse will be the only thing bigger to Morgan. Stay tuned we still have 2 days of Birthday post left!!

Day 1 of Birthday Bliss!

Day One of Morgan's Birthday started on Wednesday when Nana & Molly Polly carried a cookie cake to daycare for snack time! Anyone who knows Morgan knows what color is was....

PINK of course!!!!!

Here's a pic of Morgan at the table with a few of her buddies.

And the birthday with her cake and candle.

Today is Morgie's actually 4th Birthday, on Friday the 13th! Ah, I was so scared because she had a visit this morning. I am not usually superstitious BUT I was this morning. Anyway, nothing any bigger than the usual mess that happens during visits occured.

Stay tuned for Day 2 of what I call BirthdayFest. Yesterday, Thursday we went to American Girl for Morgan's BIG surprise from me. I signed her up for Bitty Fun Day!!! We had too much fun.

Happy 4th Birthday Angel Girl!

Mommy Loves You All the Way to the Moon and Back!!!!

Happy 14th Birthday Molly Polly!!!!

My beautiful niece turns 14 today! I can't believe that she, my youngest niece, is 14 already!!!! Kinda makes me feels old, ancient to be exact! I can't say enough about Molly. She is a loving girl with a sweet, gentle soul. She is Morgan's favorite person in the world!

Molly & Morgan at their 1st Braves game last Friday night.

And this weekend before Zach's party.

Happy 14th Birthday Molly Polly!!!!

We love you!

Mel Mel & Morgan

Zachary's First Birthday

Saturday, Little Man Zachary turned the big 1!!! His Mommy threw one big bash and everyone had tons of fun, even the adults. The kids had their choice of 2 big inflatables to play on. Morgan liked the one that can also be a water slide.

The kids were all given water guns and they had a blast! And let me tell you no one was safe!!

So, here is little man right before he got ot open his presents.

With Mommy opening gifts.

The whole family. Awww......

The whole family blowing out candles. I love this pic for some reason. Too cute!

Zach didn't much like his cake. I think that Daddy got an early start brainwashing him on sweets! He thought that if he didn't look at it then it would go away! Hee hee....

Little Man on his new ride with Daddy.

And showing that he is going to be a monkey just like his Sissy!!!

Here is Livi's talent show that she put on for everyone. I didn't get enough warning and missed out on a little of the first.
