Quietly Celebrating

I don't know if you know the country song "Where I'm From," but at the beginning of the song it says he was quietly celebrating his first class upgrade. Here Morgan and I are quietly celebrating our first class upgrade. On our flight from Dallas to Sacramento, instead of getting bumped to a later flight, they upgraded us to first class. It was so nice. We got served omelets, potatoes, fruit, and a biscuit for breakfast. Then we passed on the hot towel because we didn't know what to do with it. We're not exactly upper class people, but we definitely enjoyed the extra leg room.


On our flight home, we were not so lucky. Our flight was canceled to Memphis from Dallas due to "weather." It happened to be the only flight canceled that night. But we stayed in a nice hotel, that we had to pay for, and slept in the next morning. So instead of the usual 6-7 hours it takes to get home, it was 28hours from when we left to when we got home. The joys of living across the country from family.

Wii laughed so hard

We had fun playing Wii Fit with some friends a couple weeks back. I meant to post this sooner, but better late than never. Although we do not own Wii Fit, we are big fans. I hope you enjoy this fine demonstration on the proper form for hula hooping. You make me smile Paij. I love you.

WICKED!

Last night we got to go to Wicked at the Orpheum. It was fantastic and we had a great time. The story line was wonderful and the actors did a fabulous job. Brent's not really into broadways so next time I'll be going with just girls but I'm glad he came with me.




I'm sad I didn't get a picture of my whole dress or the back of my hair but that just means I'll have to find some other reason to dress up and do it again.

4th of July

We ended up staying in town for the 4th and are glad we did. We were much more relaxed and able to spend quality time with each other. We went to the zoo, went swimming, played Guitar Hero World Tour, went to a party, and cooked out (that means grilled burgers for those of you in the West.)We're grateful for this country we live in and for the freedoms we enjoy.
Morgan has decided that she doesn't like to wear things on her head or face and her mother still likes her to so it's a constant struggle. As you can see in the picture below, I've just resorted to holding her hands. We finally got a picture of Morgan in her sunglasses that match her swimsuit. She wasn't very happy about it, but she got over it.

Then her mom decided she needed to wear this cute 4th of July headband from grandma. Again she wasn't thrilled, and was reaching to take it off.

Finally, I resigned and let her throw in on the ground but she still wouldn't smile for the picture.

These pictures are from grandma's house in May with Morgan's cousins. We were taking 4th pictures for my mom to put on her wall so I thought I would post a couple now since it was fitting for the holiday. Morgan didn't seem to mind the headband then.

Brent's 29!

Yesterday was Brent's Golden Birthday! For his dinner, he chose to have homemade Pizza.

We went bowling with some friends to celebrate and had a great time.

Then came back to our place for cake and ice cream. When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he said, "A fundus cake." Like I knew what that was. Then he described to me that it is the inside of the eye and showed me pictures in his Kanski book. The white part is the optic nerve and the licorice are the veins and arteries. Not the prettiest cake but that is what he wanted.

Sadly it took him three blows to get all of his candles out. You'd never guess he used to be a runner.

Morgan's two new favorite things

Drawing

and Peas


She's always eaten peas a little. She would eat them in the baby food jar but lately they have become her candy. She will just eat them and eat them. I figure there could be worse things for her to love.

Wiiiiiii!

Morgan was as excited as Daddy to get a Wii for Father's Day/Birthday.
