Im Oficially an Aunt

My younger sister Nicole had her first baby yesterday! She was 3 days overdue and all of us were dying to meet this little thing. They named her Olive Elizabeth Cramer. She was 8lbs. 1oz and 19inches long. She is so darling we all love her to death!! She looks so concerned in this picture! If you look close she has red hair!!

Nicole had red hair when she was born but it changed really fast, but I hope it stays red! Cant you just picture the cutest little crazy girl named Olive

with red hair!

This is a couple hours after Nicole had Olive, doesnt she look great!
She was so brave and decided that she wanted to have the baby naturally! She labored at home for two hours, then went to the hospital at 3:15am and had Olive at 6:58am! Everything went great, she and the baby were healthy. A couple hours later the nurses came in to check Nicole and found she had a hematoma the size of a softball! She was taken into surgery right then. Everything ended up ok, they stiched up the broken blood vessles and drained the excess blood. It was just so sad because she had done all that work to labor naturally and with no anesthesia and then had to be put under for the surgery! She went through alot! But she said it was still worth it for the experience!

She is way more brave than me!!!

Sawyer was loving his new and only cousin! He kept pointing to her and while laughing would say "baby owive"! It was so cute he wanted to be close to her so he kept putting his face close to hers, then he would kiss her and he kept patting her tummy. It was so fun to watch! He is going to be such a cute big brother!

He also wanted to be a baby like Olive so his uncle scott put him in Olives hospital bed and was pushing him around, it was so funny! He loved it! He was just hanging out in there!

I just had to take a pic of my little man being all swave with his hands in his pockets! So cute!

Jared and I are so excited to be an aunt and uncle for the first time! We cant wait to spend more time with baby Olive! We are so greatful Nicole and the baby are healthy and happy! We love you Nicole thanks for giving us baby Olive!

Fun in the Mud

The last couple of months we have been slowly finishing our backyard, well side yard, and it has been quite the project! (Pics coming soon!) Sawyer has been loving every second of it. If you dont know already Sawyer is the ultimate little boy. He loves all things crawling, sticky, messy, wet etc. His most favorite thing to do though is play in the mud! Jared had to dig this trench around our yard for the sprinkler system and like a magnet sawyer went straight for the ditch head first!

He had the time of his life, he rubbed it in his hair for some reason and even ate some of it! Such a funny kid! We Love our little mud monster!

Carwash

A couple weeks ago I got a new car, thanks to my awesome hubby,

and I have been wanting to keep it spic and span so Soy and

I decided one day to swing by the carwash. I was all excited for Sawyer

cause when I was little the car wash was like way fun and cool with

the big brushes and to watch the soap drip down all the windows.

So we drove into the wash garage thing and I parked and the wash started. I was trying to get Sawyer all excited so I was saying

how cool it was and I would say "Wow" and he would say

"wow" It was really cute, he was trying to get into it. then the water got close to his window and he got this nervous look on his face and he whined a little, and I was quick to tell

him that "Its not scary its just wa wa!" then he would give me this

half smile! This went on with all of the stages of the car wash.

The water, soap, brushes, no spot spray and the dryer would start,

I would get all excited, and sawyer would copy me, then it would come

by his window and he would get all uncomfortable and

I continued to tell him that "This is so fun!" "Its not scary!"

"Wow cool!"

The car was came to an end and we pulled out, me saying

the whole time how fun that was! In all my enthusiasum I turned

around to see if sawyer was responding and reached

back to touch his leg, thats when I noticed the

soap suds dripping down the inside of sawyers door window! I leaned

back even farther and saw that his window was rolled

down like 2 to 3 inches!!!! And he was soaked!

I felt so bad, I gasped and sat there for a few seconds

wondering how in the world I didnt notice my son getting sprayed by

the carwash, then I couldnt help but bust up

laughing! I sat and laughed seriously for like 5 minutes!

He is so cute to just sit there and only whine a little while his crazy mom

is telling him how fun this is while he is getting

creamed by water, soap, no spot spray and the dryer!!!!

Oh man Soy, your mom can be a space cadet!

The view outside...

Can you imagine as a little kid looking out your front window and seeing

this view of fun! This is the view from our front porch. We live in

Daybreak and they dont have very big yards but lots

of common areas like this to make up for it. Everyday Sawyer looks out

our window and points and grunts, he just loves outside, the playground and all

the kids everywhere! It is so fun to see him get so excited if I even mention

going outside, I cant get his shoes on fast enough!

I wasnt sure if I was going to like such a busy area for our house to be, but so far

seeing how much Sawyer loves it and me not being the most outgoing

type, having such a fun way to meet people in our neighborhood

has made me love it too!

It has been so fun to see Sawyer able to actually play outside now that he is

getting bigger. He is such a boy! I will try to get him to play on the

grass or on the sidewalk but no, he goes straight for the dirt. He likes the sand by

the playground but his favorite is like the actual dirt where the bushes are

and stuff. Rocks and sticks are way cooler than any dump truck!

Its been so fun to see him grow and develop such a personality. He is so busy

exploring all the time he could care less if I am close or not.

He is very independent. It just makes me smile thinking about how cute and

special he is. It all goes by

way too fast.

Sawyer's 1st Birthday!!

I can't believe that my baby is 1 yr. old! This year has gone by so fast

its crazy, he is so big and doing new things everyday. He started

walking two months ago and now he is just all over the place.

Some words that he is saying are: mama, dada, wawa(water), baba(bottle or baby or lots of other things!), bampa(grandpa) and my favorite "uh oh", that he says with his hands held out and an exaggerated O shape with his mouth!

Some of the things that he loves to do are: pull everything out of the cupboards, his blue blanket, his daddy, brushing his teeth, taking baths,

eating off of others plates even if he already ate, his big boy carseat and any cellphone he can get his hands on!

He has the best facial expressions and such cute big brown eyes like his dad.

He is such a happy fun kid and I love spending my days with him. I love being

his mom and I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

We had such a fun party with family and friends. Soy Loved

having cake, he just went crazy stuffing it in his mouth and banging it and surprisingly he ate almost the whole thing! Soon after it all came right back out! We had to take a quick bath in the middle of the party from the major blow out! Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us and for all the gifts! Soy is so Lucky to have such supportive, loving people in his life!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOY! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Before

Durring the sugar rage!

After! I guess he liked it!!

This is the face of seeing bubbles for the first time! I know kinda weird I've never done

bubbles with him, except for bubble baths, but he was so excited!

He kept saying "Whoa!" it was so cute!

HALLOWEEN!!

Halloween is such an eventful day at the Morgan household, we were so happy to be here in all the action! The day started off with the Candy Bowl football game Jared put together with all of his brothers and some friends, the weather was great and there were lots of sore tired boys after!

Here is my hansome hubby running in for the touchdown!!

Sawyer was cheerin for his daddy!

Another tradition that my mother in law does is make homeade

sugar donuts for all the trick or treaters that they know

and for parents who are taggin along with the little ones. It is such a

fun thing to do and such a fun tradition. Debbie woke up

early and made the dough then let it rise for a while, then we rolled

and cut out all the donuts, then let them rise some more, and then fried and coated them. So its an all day thing, and we ended

up making 250 donuts! Crazy!

Our fun friends Jen and Dominic and their two cute kids also came to spend the day with us! Here we all are cookin our hearts out sporting our aprins!

This is our cute scary lion!

We had to get Sawyer and his dragon friend baby Roman in a pic together! To bad Roman was out cold the entire night!!

Here is Roman with his mom and dad, our best friends Lisa and Casey!

We had so much fun this Halloween and by the end of the night Sawyer was way done!

October Festivities!!

THRILLER

My mother-in-law Debbie and I went to Thriller the dance production

at Kingsbury Hall last night, and it was amazing!

The dancers are all so talented and are able to dance so many different styles. We had a blast, there were creepy people walking

around scaring everyone before the show, the atmosphere was so

fun, I loved every second! I highly recommend going. It was the best way to get into the Halloween Spirit!

We also had the chance to go to the REAL Salt Lake soccer game with my family! I had never been to a game before it was my first! The stadium is so cool and really pretty, I really dont think that there is a bad seat in the house! It was a pretty cold and rainy night but it turned out ok. REAL played NY and won! It was so much fun!

My sister Nicole and her husband Scott

Sawyer got to go to the pumpkin patch with his Grandma Morgan and uncle Ryan and had a blast! Debbie, my mother in law, said that he was so happy the whole time and just cooing and grunting at all the big orange balls! He loved it! So cute!
