Final Days of Summer

Summer has ended. We wanted to do a few more "fun" things our final week before we kicked into school mood. Though summer is over the temperature is still hot! We met our good friends at the zoo for a train ride before hand. It was fun to ride through Brackenridge Park and seeing more of the area and enjoy the shade. Though we frequent the zoo often, we have never done the train or park. Two things to add to our outings when it is cooler.

William wanted to wear his "train conductor" clothing.

Luke, William, and Annabel. Yes, we did trust them in their own car. I sat in front and Kerri sat behind. They did great.

Of course, we had to hit the pool as many days as we could before they closed. Being silly- what they best

Coleson's Dedication

This weekend our church had "baby dedications" so we jumped on the opportunity to have Coleson dedicated.

All the families having their children dedicated.

Pastors Sean and Robbie laid hands on each child and prayed.
The word "grace" was prayed over Coleson.

After church we met at a favorite restaurant for lunch with many church friends.
It was a special (and HOT) day for us.

2 Months Old

I can hardly believe Coleson is 2 months old! WOW!!! Time is flying by. It seems like yesterday he was being placed on my chest for the first time, looking out with big bright eyes and checking out the world around him. He has moved from newborn to baby. He is such a joy. He is smiling, cooing, tracking his brother and sister's movement and sleeping longer at night. Yippee William and Annabel are so sweet with him. They love to tell us when he smiles, talk or has a dirty diaper. Coleson is a very efficient eater, loves to be where the action is.

LOVE this face


Thank you for completing our family. Thank you for being super mellow, happy, and gentle. Thank you for enduring the constant kisses, hugs and snuggles from your brother and sister. Happy 2 months little man!

Who is Who?

Can you guess which baby is who?

baby A


baby B

baby C


the results:
baby A: Annabel
baby B: Coleson
baby C: William

No doubt these kids are related!!
Don't feel bad, Ryan confused them too.

$1 Movies

Today we took advantage of $1 movies.

This was the kids first experience at a theater.

I thought for a dollar a ticket what do I have to loose?

Well, 6 bucks for popcorn for starters! LOL

William sat on the edge of his seat totally into the movie.

Annabel was into as long as the popcorn lasted. LOL

Then it was 3 trips to the potty, one spilled drink and hearing "Mommy, too loud."

I guess she will be waiting until she is older to see another one.

Coleson was so well behaved- he slept the entire time.

Before leaving, we did a little math lesson.

William is learning about coins and that things cost money.
I gave him a pile of coins and he had to find and count out 12 quarters.

Once we arrived I had him purchase our tickets.

What a big boy!

We saw:

Pirates

Thrilled to have popcorn

We met our friends Luke, Pierce and Miss Kerri
Thanks for a FUN morning Morgan family!

great way to get a break from the heat

Can't wait to see what August brings!

A local swimming hole

This weekend we took a trip to the:

We wanted a break from the heat and some family fun.

We all swam, splashed and got a little sun kissed.

We found a great swimming hole that was no deeper than Annabel's chin.

The kids could freely walk around, splash and quickly made friends with others while enjoying the beautiful day.

The kids were so eager to get in the water.
We had to drag the kids out of the water.
The water was so warm-
Not at all what we thought or are use to.
No snow melt here to make it cold.
But is was still refrshing.
Annabel was a little timid at first
so she just filled her bucket with water and rocks.

then we could not get her out of the water.

And Coleson hung out in the stroller in the shade and slept away.

It was a fun day for all. Can't believe how close it is and we will be going back soon.
