Potty Training

2011-12-28T09:10:00.000-08:00

Since I'm off of work til next Tuesday I am attempting potty training Ryan. I think he is ready, as a lot of the time he wants to sit on the potty. The question now is, Do I have the patience to do it. :o)

I want to move the boys downstairs in hopes that will start sleeping through the night again. When he spends the night at Grandma & Grandpa's he sleeps in the basement and always sleeps through the night. The dilemma is that there isn't a bathroom down there I don't want to be potty training while they sleep down there. I'm hoping to get the potty done and then move them down there. I might put the little potty down there for the first lil bit, just in case.

Ryan's First Major Owie

2011-02-05T13:05:00.000-08:00

Last Monday the boys were @ my In-Laws. They made a poster for Uncle Chase, who just returned from his mission to Guatamala 2 days ago. I think they had fun doing it :) I wasn't there. They got to strip down to underware/diapers so they didn't get paint on their clothes.

I got a text from Phill saying that Ryan had burned his arm and they were taking him to the hospital. Here is the story:

The fireplace was on and Ryan being a sneaky lil guy grabbed the remote from behind my MIL and changed the channel. She took the remote away and turned around to change the channel back and Ryan decided he'd sneak behind her... on the other side of her was the gas fireplace whose glass cover burns hot when it is on. He leaned against the fireplace and burned his arm... lil naked man that he was :o) His lil finger to his elbow.

The Next Day

Day 3

Day 5

The goings on....

2011-01-28T12:33:00.001-08:00

Well, Phill started his 2nd job this wk. Let me just say wow! I didn't realize how exhausting it is to be with the kids 24/7! I'm exhaused, the boys are exhausted and I'm know Phill is exhausted getting up in the am going to be @ work by 8 and then straight to his next job, coming home for dinner, then back to wk only to get home around midnight or later, fall asleep only to get up the next morning and do it all over again! I have to say I think we all look forward to the days that he only works one of the jobs. I love you babe! thx for all your hard work!

The boys have been getting into everything! :o) My make-up... again! one of my Be Radiant Baked Powder... completely gone... ground into the carpet in their bedroom!

Kendrick knows how to turn on the microwave.... although he doesn't know how long he's putting things in for! Yesterday he put a roll I had made in to heat it up. I don't know how long it had been in the microwave... When it registered in my head that the microwave was on I looked @ it and saw it glowing red and full of smoke!!!! Nice! I know! Needless to say the house got a little cold as I opened all the doors and windows to air it out, the roll was a chunk of burnt nothingness and the microwave was fun to clean... not really. :o) Luckily we did not have a fire and our house did not burn down! I did decide we need to get a fire exstinguisher though! :o)

Ryan is still running aroung after his brother. Climbing up onto the top bunk and getting stuck since he doesn't know how to get down the ladder. Still not talking very much but Iguess that will come with time. :o)

Resolutions

2011-01-28T12:26:00.001-08:00

Well... I haven't been very good at my resolutions so far this year! Obviously the blogging once/week hasn't happened since my last post was my bday! The cleaning... well lets not talk about that ;o) The Organizing... working on it. I got my pantry organized the other day and now when I open it I just smile! - Love it! :o) The Morgan 5 - I'm doing ok on. Hit and miss some days but I try. Emergency Prep - haven't done anything with. My Mary Kay business - didn't really start trying till this wk. That is pretty much how my resolutions are all going. I'll keep working on them though. :o) How are your's going?

Happy Birthday!

2011-01-12T13:15:00.000-08:00

... to me! Yay! It is officially the beginning of the end! ....The end of my 20's, that is. This time next year I will be in my 30's!!!! Can anyone else just not believe that?! I swear it seems like just yesterday.... that's totally a mom line right? :o).... that I was a boy crazy teenager!

Lucky for me it wasn't yesterday and I am blessed with a wonderful family! One that sometimes drives me crazy but I love you all regardless! To my siblings and parents, I love you and am grateful that I was able to have grown up with all of you in my life and for the great memories I have of all of you!

To those who joined our family through marriage along the way: You all rock! I'm glad you joined the fam and love our craziness in spite of us! ;o) ... because you are all crazy too! hehe

To the family I joined when Phill and I married: I love you all and feel like I've known you forever! Maybe I have. :o) Thanks for all you do for me! (Katie you are included in this bunch even though you joined after me)

To my Husband: I love you! Thank you for putting up with all my craziness, stubborness and faults! Thank you for loving me inspite of it all! Thank you for laughing with me...NOT at me! ;o) Although you do that too sometimes. Thank you for trying.

To my boys: I'm so grateful to have you in my life! I don't know what I would do without you! Well, aside from sleep a little more and clean a little less. I love you both and love to see you growing and learning! Kendrick: Thank you for making me smile and all the love you give me. Ilove just listening to you playing in the other room and thinking to myself, "This is what life is really all about and makes it worth it!" Ryan: You are my sweet baby boy! I love your laugh and watching you chasing after your brother! Watching you grow and simply the fact that you gave me a zerbit the other day, laughed, did it again, laughed again, over and over!

I love you all! Thank you for all the memories and love!

BTW "Cut the Cake" by John McCutcheon is THE BEST birthday song ever!

Lying

2011-01-07T13:13:00.000-08:00

So my little boy is growing up! Three years old and running around trying to shoot everything and making a gun out of anything he can find! And now, lying! I never knew it started so young!

So the other day I opened the refridgerator and found an egg in the leftovers from breakfast! Egg and half the shell... hopefully the rest of the egg shell made it into the trash because I haven't found it. Anyways, knowing K and that for some reason he has always liked playing with the eggs I asked him why there was an egg in the leftovers. He said, "I dont' know" I said, "Did you break the egg and put it in there?" He said no. I asked,"Are you lying?" He said, "Yes, No!" Sorry honey, too late to revize once you've spilled the beans! :o)

That was the only slip up though, Now its just lying... How do you get it to stop?

"Open Carefully So the Love Won't Escape"

2010-12-13T17:39:00.000-08:00

In the 1987 Ensign my grandpa, Rex C. Stallings, wrote a very special article in our family. It is about the true meaning of Christmas .... Enjoy!

When I was a young boy, I very much wanted an electric train for Christmas. I put in my order and then waited for the big day to come. I dreamed of trains at night, daydreamed about them during the day, and looked at them in the catalogs and in the store windows. I knew exactly what I wanted—a black train with real smoke and a whistle, on a figure-eight track. Because I knew my parents loved me and did all they could for me, I looked anxiously forward to Christmas.

When Christmas finally came, I rushed excitedly into our living room. There was an electric train—a second-hand train on an oval track. I tried to look excited, but I was terribly disappointed. My father, however, was excited about the train. He lay on the carpet with me, ran the train, and talked to me about how fun it was.

But it didn’t help, because someone had mentioned to me that if you were good, you got what you wanted for Christmas. Well, I knew I was at least as good as my friend Leonard. He got a train just like the one I wanted.

I had a similar experience many years later as a teenager in high school. Everyone had a ski sweater with a deer-head pattern knitted across the front. I wanted one. I told my parents what kind I wanted and what color it had to be. On Christmas morning, when I ripped the package open, I found a beautiful ski sweater. But there was no deer head on the front of it.

I was crushed. How could I ever go to school wearing that sweater? It didn’t look at all like everyone else’s sweaters. True, it was nice, but it just wouldn’t do. Once again I was very disappointed.

I was too immature at the time to look beyond my own selfish desires, beyond the gift, to the giver. My parents loved me, and they sacrificed to give me not only gifts, but all the things I needed. How they loved me!

I remembered this when I became a father. We didn’t have a lot of money, so we tried to get things that were practical. But many a Christmas Eve, as my wife and I prepared the presents around the tree and finished wrapping the gifts, I would find myself in a state of near-panic. I would think, “What if they open these gifts and don’t like them? What if they think we haven’t given them the things they want because we don’t love them?”

To help lessen this panic, I tried to postpone the moment of opening the presents. We started a tradition that on Christmas morning we would all get up, dress, say family prayers, and eat breakfast. Then we would go in around the tree. And just in case postponement didn’t do the trick, I would give “the lecture.”

“We have a lot of presents,” I’d begin. “We want you to know that inside each box and each package is wrapped up our great love for you. So we will open the presents very carefully, one at a time. If we just rip them open and grab whatever is inside, the love may escape unnoticed. After all, the love that is with the gift is greater than the gift itself.”

After my lecture we sat around the tree and opened our gifts, not in wild excitement, but in quiet appreciation and love for one another.

These examples from my life seem insignificant in light of the greatest gift of all—the gift we celebrate at Christmas. Yet in a way, there is a simple parallel. The scriptures say, “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.” (John 3:16.) But that gift is not popular in the world today. It is not the latest fad, the kind of gift that makes us popular with the crowd.

How often I have thought back to the days of my youth, truly sorry that I understood so little. So often we kneel in prayer and order our spiritual blessings from Heavenly Father, asking for what we feel we really want and need, and instead receive blessings that are good for us, blessings of love. And we are disappointed! We don’t understand; we feel unloved, unimportant, and deserted.

Perhaps we should examine more thoughtfully and prayerfully the gifts we are given. Maybe they are not exactly what we expected or asked for, but in the maturity of our lives, we will find them to be gifts of love. For truly the Lord offers us all that he has.

My Baby's One!

Ryan loves watching him and tries to get up and go to him even though he is not very mobile yet. I know it'll be here sooner than I know. He's scootin and rollin around so it's just a matter of time.

2010-03-14T14:48:00.000-07:00

JT and Payslei came to play a couple of wks ago. We had a blast! JT & Pays helped me make banana pancakes for breakfast (everyone else was still asleep when they got there). After breakfast they played inside for a little bit than went outside and rode their scooters. It was cold but no snow in site so we took advantage of it. They played in the yard for a lil bit than we went on a walk.

After the walk Phill and I were freezing so we made the kids come in and we made hot chocolate! Yummy! We had a snack than went back to Dave & Gina's and waited for the carpets to be cleaned and ate lunch! Good ol' mac & cheese.

Ryan's Blessing

2009-12-14T13:33:00.000-08:00

Here are some pix I took of Ryan in his Blessing outfit. We blessed him the first Sunday in Dec. and had family over for snacks after.

Ryan Matthew Morgan

2009-12-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

Ryan was born Friday November 13, 2009, 3 days late, at 12:44 am! Weight: 6lbs 13.2oz Length: 19.5in. Nobody thought I'd make it that long seeing where I was @ 36wks.
Thursday the 12th was the one day I was not allowed to have him. :o) 2 outta 4 people that Phill works with were on vacation that week and Brandon, the other one not on vacation, said that was the one night he wouldn't be able to do all the pages by himself. Well needless to say contractions started around 10am but were not regular. They continued all day being anywhere from 6-10 min apart.

My visiting teachers brought dinner that night and by then the contractions were between 6-8 min apart and getting stronger. I knew I was going to be going into full on labor before the night was through. When Phill went back to work after dinner I went and picked up my mom so she could stay the night. When we got home contractions were a consistant 6 min apart. Phill had said at dinner he'd prob be able to get outta wk around 10:30pm, so I waited till than to call the midwife to tell her I was heading into the hospital.

I got to the hospital @ a quater to 11pm. I was checked when I got there and was between a 6 &7 and 80%. Disappointing! That is where I was @ my appt. on tues morning. Those darn contractions hadn't done a thing! Claudia, the midwife, got to the hospital right after they checked me and offered to break my water. Phill was still at work so I said I'd wait until he got there. He ended up not being able to get off @ 10:30 and so he didn't get to the hospital until 11:15pm.

Claudia checked back with us at 11:40. We got all ready for her to break my water. I was having a contraction so she waited until that one was done.
She said, "that seemed like an intense one. Do you want me to check and see if you are progressing on your own, before I break your water?" I did and she checked. I was at an 8 & 90%. We decided that since I was going pretty fast on my own we'd forget about breaking my water just yet and I got into the tub.

I'm not sure how long I was in the tub for. I was shaking so bad when I got out that Claudia said I was gonna shake the baby right out of me! :o) I wasn't shaking because I was cold I was just shaking. She had checked me once right before I got outta the tub and I was at a 9. She said that since it was my second child I could start pushing whenever I felt like I needed to. That is why I got out of the tub. After getting back into the bed Claudia broke my water and I started pushing.

Unlike with Kendrick I had little breaks in between contractions so I could actually breathe. :o) He came quick and was here within a few pushes. He came out breathing which was also nice after K not breathing when he was first born. Phill also got to cut the cord which I think he was excited about since he didn't get to cut K's cord.

Getting him here seemed to hurt a lot more than getting Kendrick here. The recovery also seems to be going slower for me ... maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have a 2yr old and can't just rest all the time. :o)

I now have 2 beautiful boys that I love more than life! I am excited to see them grow and already love watching the changes that both are making.

Kendrick loves his little brother and is always wanting to hold and kiss him. Life has been an adjustment but we are loving almost every minute of it. :o)

Funny thing Kendrick said one night while I was feeding Ryan ... He was wanting me to hold him and crying he said, "Mommy! Ryan bed! No eat your boobie!"

Here's some pics:

36 wks

2009-10-14T18:19:00.000-07:00

Well I had my dr appt today! 4cm and 80%! Crazy!!!! We are going to st george this weekend so hopefully I don't have him down there!!! I want him to at least wait until tues or wed of next week. I still have maternity pix I'm getting done!!! Wait baby wait!!!! :o)

32 wks!

2009-09-17T13:27:00.000-07:00

Me @ 32 wks... 2nd pregnancy

Kim @ 26wks... 3rd pregnancy

For those of you who have looked at my sister's blog she just posted a pic of her belly and I am doing the same. :o) She is 5 wks behind me but you wouldn't know it by our bellies! We measured the other night around the biggest part of our bellies and she was abt 4in bigger than me! We'll see what the actual difference will be when we both have our babies. I was 2 1/2 wks early with my first and they tell her they won't let her go past the 15th when she is due the 22nd.

I measured 33cm @ my 32wk check. Everybody is telling me that I'm so small! Well that tells you that I'm not! Ha! I'm right on track... :o) For those of you who don't know you are supposed to measure within 1cm either way of how many wks you are.

I have been such a bad mom with this preg! I've taken maybe 3 pix of my belly the entire pregnancy! What a slacker I am!

Just so I have something about this preg here's some fun facts... or not so fun facts.
I was super nauseous with this one. I became the monster I hear pregnant women are! Thanks Phill for loving me anyway! Emotional as all getout! I'd start bawling for no reason and Kendrick would see me so he'd start bawling and Phill just loved us and tried to help. :o) Heartburn! OH MY HECK!!!! Heartburn worse than the fires of Hell!!! Back and hip pain. Trip to the hospital @ 30wks.... It was a bladder infection.... so no worries. Ryan is kicking down all the time! Kendrick give Ryan zerbits, kisses and hugs all through mommy's tummy. It is soo cute! I haven't spilled on nearly as many shirts as I did with Kendrick! Yeah me!

Ok so I know I've been slacking in the blog world but really... what do you expect when I don't have the Internet at home...

So now for a little info to catch you all up. We've been wking out in the yard these past few wks and still have more to go! We are putting in a sprinkler system! YAY!!! We rototilled one day shoveled a good 6-8" off the front and threw it in the back and than leveled out the front and got some sod laid! Let me tell you... even though it isn't done it looks 100% better already!

We started leveling out the backyard and laid the rest of the sod that we had! Got the nasty Box Elder tree out of our backyard which I am sooo excited about! Hopefully we won't have as many Box Elder bugs trying to infiltrate my house!

Kendrick got sick and than lovingly gave it to me! Or should I say he shared it with me since we are both still sick. :( Hopefully Kendrick will start getting better this wkend otherwise I might have to take him to the Dr on Mon.

I missed my 15 wk dr appt this past wk. I've come to rely too much on my reminder call that I always get from them the day before. They didn't call this time and I totally spaced it. Oh well, it's rescheduled for this tues... Let's hope I can remember it! Don't they know I'm prego and need those reminder calls because of what I call my pregnancy forgetfulness. :o)

Mom and I went to the Corn Wagon in Springville yesterday! Can I just tell you all how much I LOVE that store! They are having a "Bag Ladies Club" this summer where we sign up and make these adorable bags! Look at May's bag!

Mine will look similar to the one with orange pockets but not the same. :o) It has to be unique you know! I was soo excited about this class that I was inviting everyone whos number I had in my phone that I thought would like the bag! I ended up getting my mom and 2 of my SsIL to sign up to do it with me! I'm pretty excited about it! They had such a big response to this bag that they had to open another class! My class is June 10th! YAY! I'll post my pix when I get it done!

I'll have to post pix of k later since I didn't bring my camera to upload them... Sorry... I know that's all most of you care about anyway. ;o)

2009-04-22T13:06:00.000-07:00

Well I went to my drs. appt. today and got a cute little pic of our growing baby that I thought I'd share.

It's kinda hard to see the baby 'cause I had to take a pic of the pic on the camera phone since the scanner it's working. The baby is right in the center of the pic with the head on the right side and the feet out to the left.

Kendrick is quite the jealous kid so we are going to have some fun come Nov. :o) Actually I'm kinda dreading it. Any time he sees me holding a child smaller than him he comes running over wanting to be held. The first time it happened...when he was about a yr old... he cried and cried until I finally gave up the baby I was holding and picked him up. He wouldn't even go to his grandpa Morgan who is his Favorite person of all time...yes, even over his own mother.

I'm hoping that by the time Nov. rolls around he might be understanding more concerning the baby and hopefully it won't be as bad as I'm thinking it is going to be. If any of you moms have any ideas on how to help Kendrick understand that he's not going to be the only one needing my attention and things that helped you when you had your second child I would greatly appreciate it! :o)

Kendrick's favorite room in our new house is definitely the bathroom. Whether he goes into the bathroom to watch mommy and daddy get ready for the day or going taking a bath, he loves the bathroom.

Olympics here we come

2009-03-10T13:26:00.000-07:00

For those that don't know my little brother Chase, he is an avid skier and had a ski pass to Park City Mountain Resort. Neither Leslie or I have gone skiing in 7-12 years, and when I decided that since Chase's pass was going to go waste while he was on his mission, I wanted to go skiing on a day off.
Leslie didn't want me to go alone, both because she didn't want me to push my limits and also thought that quality time together without Kendrick would be great. We used Chase's and Vince's skis, boots and poles. We went for 1/2 a day and had so much fun. Both of us felt like we never left the slopes.

The only down-side to not going skiing for that long of time is .... the sore sore muscles. Both of us couldn't walk for the next 2 days.

We're still alive ... and loving it!

Yeah, we know it's been a long time since we have posted on the blog, but we're back. Yes we moved .... no we don't have pictures of the house. We took them but since we don't have TV or the internet at the house, the only time we get to use the internet is at Phill's parents' house. If we don't take our memory card, then we can't update the blog.

Today is everyone's lucky day, we have some pictures and hopefully we will have the house pictures next time.

We Are Moving!!!!!

Yes we are moving! No, not to another blog.... We bought a house!!! We signed the papers on Thurs and are supposed to be getting the key tomorrow!!! I am sooo excited! My own place! You should have seen me after we signed the papers. I was jumping around and spinning in circles! Phill got a great laugh out of it! :o) Glad I can make my husband laugh. :o)

I tried to upload the pix of the house but it won't let me right now. I'll have to try a different day. Hopefully soon but if it's not soon you'll have to forgive me since I'm going to be busy moving and then heading to AZ this wknd.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-07T20:16:00.000-08:00

We went to St. George with Phill's family for thanksgiving. It was great to just get away for a few days! We had a nice relaxing few days and I made the turkey! Only the 2nd time I've ever done that and the first was with Michelle helping me and making sure I didn't ruin it. :o)

We went to Tuacahn while we were down there and saw the live Nativity. Elder Holland was there! Santa was also there and Kendrick got to sit on his lap. He wasn't very sure about that and just kept looking at him like "who are you and why are you holding me?" We got a couple of pix on Chase's camera so I'll have to post those at another time.

Thanksgiving was great and I hope you all had a wonderful celebration with family and friends.

A new Blog

2008-10-27T20:29:00.000-07:00

So, lately we've been asked quite a bit if I was prego.... just to clear that up, negative.... but it did get me thinking about our blog name. When we are going to add to our little family our old blog name just wouldn't do since it was phillandlesliePLUSONE. So I figured K's first b-day was a good place to end our old one and begin our new one. So start checking here for updates.
