Super Shake

We went to IHOP and Chris ordered a shake and was really surprised to see how big it was when he got it. He was even more amazed when the server came over and topped it off after he drank some of it. Needless to say, he didn't finish the whole thing.

Wacky Tacky Day

Ben dressed up for "Wacky Tacky Day" at school. I think the outfit he put together was both wacky and tacky. Sadly, his outfit wasn't the winner but he sure had a great time. He was happy to come home and take of his shoes that were on the wrong feet. hehehe!!

Sugar Gliders

Sugar gliders will most likely be the next addition to the Morgan Zoo. The boys are in love with them and I think they're pretty dang cute too. If we end up living in SC we can get them but if we move to GA they're illegal. So, that will determine whether or not we actually get them. Here are some pics of the boys with their Grandma Karen's sugar glider, Precious. She is precious!

Hmmmmm....

Are you a sock, shoe, sock, shoe person or a sock, sock, shoe, shoe person?

From WA to GA

It's unofficially official. We're going to Fort Gordon in Augusta, GA. Peachy, huh?

Snicker

Sadly, my cute Snicker passed on today.

She will be missed by all of us.

Okay, I can't help it. They're so dang cute and they're quiet in pictures.

The many casts of Chris...

This is when he did a Superman off the stairs and broke his foot. At the ER I asked if he fell and he said, "No, I jumped." I asked if that was the story and he said, "It's not a story, Mom, it's the truth." It was pretty funny after all of the crying. He was convinced he was fine and didn't need a cast but the x-ray told a different story. We knew that this wouldn't be our last time at the ER for a broken bone and it wasn't.






Above is cast #1 from the broken arm he got right after he'd learned how to ride his bike. He was cruising down the hill we live on and didn't really know how to stop. Well, he stopped and and ended up breaking his arm. Below is the the second cast he got. We got to know the people in x-ray really well. The ER staff recognizes Chris too. Not that that is anything to brag about. :)




After his experiences with breaking bones you'd think he would avoid breaking any more but he did say, "Next time I want to break my head!" I hope that doesn't ever happen!! I'm sure we'll have plenty more pics of him in casts. It's been almost 2 years since the last broken bone so I'm just waiting for the next one.

Could they be brothers?

The top picture is of Ben's Grandpa and the bottom is, of course, Ben. Pretty cool, huh?

Sadie

It's time to show off my cute doggie, Sadie. We got her 12 years ago when someone dropped her off out in the middle of nowhere. My sister worked out in the area and called and told me the dog I ordered came. I didn't want a dog at the time but when Eric heard about her he went right out to rescue her. I'm so glad he did. She's the best dog ever. If only she could live forever. I don't have many recent photos of her because, for some reason, she hates the camera. The minute she sees the camera she takes off. She even knows when I have the camera on my phone on. hmmm.. clever girl

Chris and Sadie

This was when our house in West Jordan was torn apart and we were redoing the whole place. I guess she didn't hate the camera back then. Maybe she's self conscious about how she looks now that she's getting older. I think she's as beautiful as she always been.

Sadie and Ben

This picture is in our back yard in West Jordan. Sadie used to love to run and run and run back there. It was always fun when we'd get a lot of snow. She loved the snow. I don't think she's as fond of the rain up here.

Alien Dog

It looks like I dragged the kids out of bed for this picture with the alien dog. hehehe! Maybe they're just tired because they had been playing with the ratties.

Chris and Sadie

This is the most recent picture I have of Sadie. She sure doesn't look happy. Probably because she wasn't. Could it be that she thinks the camera will take her soul? It's worth it to me to torture her a little so I can have pictures of her.

Happy New Year!

I was cleaning off my memory stick and found some pics from New Year's. I'm really going to miss this place (I know I say that a lot, but it's true). We got a hotel near the Space Needle and walked over to watch the fireworks. It's much more fun than sitting at home watching some ball drop. Enjoy the pics...

I had to take this picture of Christopher because he thought our view from the hotel was just fine. He didn't want to walk over to the Space Needle. But after we saw the fireworks he was happy we went.

This was the view from our hotel. We probably could have stayed in the room but I don't think it would have been as good. Because this is what we saw...















Pretty cool, huh? We went last year for the first time and, sadly, this year will be our last.

The boy rats

Okay, I was feeling like a guilty rat mom so I decided to take some pictures of the boy ratties. I gave them each a bath and then let them run around on my bed. So, if their fur looks a little funny it's probably because they were still a little wet. Bathing rats is not the most fun thing in the world. But they do look nice afterward.

Raisin

He's the naughty one of the two.

Muffin

He's such a love.
