Happy Birthday Blake!
Blake turned 4 on Halloween! He had a great day, but he wasn't sure about the whole thing. I don't think he liked the attention. Kate woke him up singing Happy Birthday to him at 6:30 and all he said was a grumpy "I don't even care about your song!" Then they came in the kitchen and I said, "Hey Birthday Boy," and he screamed back, "I am still Blake!" His class had a Halloween party, so I brought sweet treats and we sang to him and let him wear his teacher's birthday hat. He wore it, and the picture above shows him smiling but he didn't crack a smile the whole time they sang to him!
I have several cute pictures that I have tried to upload, but it says "server returned invalid response" where I try to upload them onto here. Any idea what that means?? Anyone have any advice for that?

First day of school
I am soooo behind on lots of posts, but this is a good start! We moved to Greenville, AL, in June and have been going nonstop ever since! The kids started school on August 16 at a school literally 1 minute away from our house. Kate is in K5 and Blake is in K3. They both go Monday through Friday from 8-3. It is a long time away but they are loving it. The first full week was an adjustment for little Blake but he is doing better and napping really well at school. It is amazing how much I seem to get done with just Morgan! She is missing Kate and Blake and all the activity they bring, but she is my little buddy and we do EVERY thing together! Brandon had already left for work on the kids first day of school so we took pictures on the second day with daddy! I will update soon with more pictures and posts of this summer.

Busy Start to the Summer
This was everyone all ready to go... and they had a blast! Heath said Kate even got to go hold onto the front of the boat. |
We have had some fun sprinkler days and slip and slides, but we go to my parents' pool a good bit to get cooled off and burn off some energy. |
These two tore up the dance floor. It was a HOT day, and they ended up smelling terrible because they played so hard in the heat. |
Daddy couldn't resist a dance with his beautiful girl. |

Catching Up
I have some catching up to do! Sorry we have been a little out of pocket, it has been a busy Spring so far. My sister in law, Stacy, got several baby chicks for Easter, and she even set up a little photo area so we could get the kids' pictures with them. Kate was IN LOVE! She was suprisingly gentle with them, and she would help the other kids pick them up and hold them. She asked for days leading up to it if she could see a baby chick, so when Stacy said she was buying some, we were all over it. She went to bed asking for it, woke up begging, and she really did enjoy every minute of it. Blake warmed up to it. He did better than I thought he would, he loved it when they sat in his lap. He even helped Morgan get in on the action. But, she just swatted at them, so she couldn't get too close. My nephew, John Burke, LOVED the chicks too, in fact he almost "loved" one to death. Oh well, what do you expect when you let small children hold the baby chicks. :)
Kate likes to use my phone to take pictures whenever she can, and she took this sweet picture of Morgan and me one day playing outside. I think she is quite the photographer.
We went to Auburn a few weekends ago for the A-Day game. We ran into our sweet friends, the Johnsons, and enjoyed a delicious lunch and some fun with the giant inflatable Aubie. The kids had a great time playing with Owen, and I sure loved catching up with his parents.
We also got to see some precious friends, the Comptons. Katie had plans, so just Ben and Campbell joined us for the game. Kate and Campbell had a blast catching up and waving their shakers together. In 2002, Brandon and I had our first date to the A-Day game, so ten years later, here is just part of our family. Morgan stayed with her JoJo and Papa G to stay out of the sun and get a good nap. (Ignore my weird jerry curl- my hair fell out after having Morgan and apparently the humidity did not help the situation.)
Last week, Morgan was pretty sick, with a really high fever, and some lab values that made us keep returning to the doctor to repeat. She was pitiful, I had to take a picture of the sweet girl sleeping and moaning with a fever over 105. It turned out to just be a nasty fever virus, and we are glad it is gone! This week, she has been better, so Kate helped her get dressed up in her "workout" gear the other day. She looks pretty intense!
We had family pictures done this weekend with all 7 grandchildren under 5 years old. It went pretty well, but Kate did not want to smile, so we will have to see what kind of finished product we end up with.

A Birthday Trip and Enjoying Outside
This sweet girl was making some noise during her nap, so I went to check on her, and I am glad I did! She was standing up for the first time in her crib leaning over to reach her pacifier. This is the AFTER picture, after lowering her mattress. Usually I would leave that as a chore for Brandon, but I couldn't let her have another minute in that crib with it at that height. Little stinker!
For some reason, Kate has been begging to get her hair cut, so I just did it before I could talk myself out of it. She looks cute, but OLD!
We have LOVED this weather the past several days. We play soccer, baseball, run races, pick flowers, sit on blankets and read, etc. Anything to just be outside.
Brandon turned 30 last weekend, so we had a little family trip to the mountains. It was JUST what we needed. We had a birthday "party," played games, relaxed on the porch, enjoying an amazing view, and got some much needed rest. It is funny that I felt so rested since we had all 3 kids the whole weekend, but I think they knew it was a vacation too, and they enjoyed it. They loved having a new place to explore, and LOVED having their dad around for the whole weekend, without any interruptions!

How is She This Big?
I feel like I look at Morgan daily and think she isn't such a baby anymore! In the last week, she has completely weaned (begrudgingly) from nursing, cut her two bottom teeth, is feeding herself little bitty vegetables and puffs, and has started "scooting." She gets a little further each time. I will put her down, turn around for a second, and then notice she had gotten into something I thought she couldn't reach!
Brandon's grandma cross stitched a blanket for each child, and Morgan is sitting on her personalized blanket to play in one if these pictures. Grandma spent a long time working on it, and I am thankful each child has a special blanket just from her!
I added a fussy picture so I could show Morgan's two teeth, which is why she has been unusually fussy! Since day one, Morgan has refused to take a bottle, so she has been at my side HER WHOLE LIFE! Once the tooth started coming in, we had to figure something out. I tried to casually wean, offer a bottle first, then would end up nursing every time. So, I ended up quitting nursing cold turkey and it took a whole day before she would even try a bottle. Now she is all bottles! Which is also nice so Daddy can get some feeding time in there too!
These are milestones for me to keep up with, so it may be of NO importance to anyone else. I love my babies, and it is fun to watch them grow!
