Christmas Party Weekend

Colton and Santa

The Cutest shepherds ever!

Dribbling the basketball

Playing ball with daddy

Colton LOVES basketball!

Hitting the pinata

We had quite a weekend. We went to our ward Christmas party and had Colton's picture taken with Santa. Then we headed over to the Johnson family Christmas party where we were just in time for Colton to be a shepherd in the nativity. After the nativity they got out the pinata and I was only able to get Colton to take his turn and get a picture before he was off playing basketball with the big boys. And that is where he spent the rest of his time. When we were trying to leave he threw a major tantrum and was screaming NO MY BASKETBALL!!!!!!

Morgan's Meals

I started a new blog. I know that the name is lame, but I really couldn't think of anything cool to name it. It is going to basically be my online cookbook. I got the idea from my mom's blog Pass The Salt I will also post some things I craft if they ever happen. So feel free to check it out and leave some feedback. It's Morgan's Meals

Just Like Daddy

 Lately Colton is loving his daddy. He is excited when he gets home and loves to play with him. Kenny will play cars with him and will do tickle monster. He's been loving his daddy so much that he likes to do things like him. I have an easier time getting him to eat if Kenny is around. He will only wear his cowboy boots because daddy has cowboy boots. I actually got him to wear a hat for longer than 5 seconds by asking him if he wanted to look like daddy. I wish I had gotten a picture of that. And when daddy plays rock band.....Colton has to play too.

Isn't he just the cutest?

Seeing The Lights

We decided to go out looking at lights last night and ended up at the Centerville park across from Centerville Elementary. Colton loved walking around looking at the lights and just following his dad around. We didn't stay long on account of my being cold. But we did drive around for a little bit and look at the lights. It was great! I only wished that I had brought some hot chocolate with us.

Getting ready to go

Sorry it's blurry

Adventure With Poop

Yes. You read right. It says poop. Today Colton and I went to Marinda's house to play. The kids were getting along great so Marinda and I started on our craft project. We noticed the boys went downstairs to watch The Polar Express. They were being so good and quiet so we didn't think to check on them. Of course we were having too good of a time talking to think about checking on them anyway. When I glanced over to see who was coming up the stairs I was quite horrified to see my son coming up the stairs stark naked. I had to chase him down and re-diaper him up before I could  go find his clothes and see if he had peed anywhere. I was horrified of the thought that he had peed on Marinda's carpet. So after I finally caught him I started to put his diaper on when I noticed the signs that he had pooped. Horrified I ran down the stairs only to step in pee.So I called out to Marinda that Colton had peed. Grossed out I stopped to take my socks off before venturing onto the carpet and glanced over to find where Colton had taken off his diaper and pooped on the carpet. So I had to yell back to Marinda that he had pooped too. I quickly grabbed a wipe and cleaned up his mess only to look up and find the Ethan was bare naked as well. So I looked around and found where Ethan had pooped on the carpet. Gross! Fortunately Marinda made him clean up his own poop. He was in such a hurry to get it to the bathroom that he dropped some of it and spent the next two minutes trying to pick up what he dropped. (With a paper towel, not his hands) At the time I wanted to cry, but now I just find it entertaining. Marinda was nice enough to let us stay for longer and the boys spent the rest of the time in diapers. I am glad that Marinda had such a cool head at the time because I would have been hysterical.
