aww... cuddles!



just a typical morning at our house. i believe we were watching Peter Pan (morgan's favorite movie this month... she has her daddy's passion for movies and her mamma's fickleness.)
note that morgan is in her pajamas which means it could really be any hour of the day. if she's at home she insists on wearing pajamas if not nothing at all. clearly she has already developed Michael's and my habits. we love us some cozy pants!
( um, Bobby is only dressed because he had a "blow out" that morning. his new nickname is Torpedo! he is very tricksy, too... always waiting until the diaper is off! ah, geez. )

i am a Binge Blogger . . .










































i never get around to blogging because it takes me so long! i'm extremely indecisive and i try too hard to be entertaining. it's really quite sad actually because my blogs are never that impressive. so i shall try to be more consistent with my blog-posts. either that or i'll attempt to be more witty. but as the rule goes in our house... ~you get what you get and you don't throw a fit~

it was sooooooooo worth it !!!


here is the precious little babe that i spend every waking moment with. (which is quite a lot of waking moments these days)
it's easy to see why all the discomfort, weight gain, frustration, depression and sleep deprivation of pregnancy is instantly forgotten.

Ah, to be pregnant.


For those who never got to see me in all my glory...

I am still amazed at how HUGE my belly can get. And to be honest I miss it. For what's left now after giving birth is not too pretty. My postpartum self-image is always really low. By the time the flabby belly starts to shrink the breastfeeding is well underway and I've become "elasta-tits". Luckily, I have a marvelous husband who reminds me that I'm beautiful. And who also enjoys the physical changes of postpartum in which parts of me shrink while other parts enlarge...

LET'S GO TO THE BEACH ! ! !

don't let the happy faces fool you. . .it was sooooo cold at the beach. we went to galveston, tx to have our first annual family christmas vacation.
daddy and mama could only handle about 30 minutes at a time at the seashore. . . poor morgan would have stayed all day if she could have.
what a cute little beach bum!

ALOHA!!!


. . . pronounced "uh- lo- uh" by true oregonians . . . is the name of the town where i grew up. in october, morgan and i flew out there to spend some time with the gerber side of the family! it was so nice to be home-sweet-home. and morgan just adores her cousins! (she's # 11 of 13 grandbabies) however, she constantly talked about little david and auntie barb the whole time we were there. it was during this visit that i realized that morgan is gianormous! ( at least compared to my family ) . . . the meyers' genes are just slightly more dominant.

GO T C U !!!




TCU vs. BYU game. . .

oh the agony!! we had no idea there had been a church-wide fast for the defeat of the horned frogs...or else we would have worn blue. actually, the real reason BYU ended TCU's 13-game-win streak was because Morgan had a BYU t-shirt under her cheerleading outfit... apparently Morgan is heavier than we thought and tipped the scales!!! ( and Pompa tried so hard to balance things out)

hannoh?!?

Big Daddy!

my Michael and our Morgan Lillie.

so. . . this is blogging . . .


what have i done ?!?!? i finally gave into the pressure. i started a... (gulp)... blog!!! why, you ask? well, there are many possible reasons. . .
1- i am hormonal! being 6 months pregnant i have a tendency to do things which are out of character.
2- i am merely trying to keep up with Barb. although we are "in-laws" we have a very healthy relationship. . . we are loving sisters with a good amount of rivalry.
3- there needs to be more pictures of morgan online. she's a love!
4- i am bored. well, i have tons of stuff that i should be doing. . . so really i am procrastinating.
5- i am a horrible friend and never email anyone! so instead of random phone calls or visits which take hours just to bring you up to speed; ya'll can just see for yourselves what i'm up to.
