The Woodlands Highschool Football Game

For Gavin's birthday he didn't really care to have a party, he just wanted to go to a Woodlands High School football game. So we went to two. The first game it started pouring down rain so we left at half time. The second game we brought a few of his buddies along with us.
Before the game we had pizza and opened up a few gifts his friends had brought him:

Then it was off to the game:

After a Highlander win, we came home and had Chocolate Chip Pound Cake:

And the boys stayed up REALLY late playing...(and wrapping the inside of our house)...LOL.

My Little Man Turns TEN!

Holy Cow. Gavin turned Ten on November 6th. So hard to believe that my sweet boy is in the double digits now. He is growing like a weed, is super smart, and still has the sweetest heart. We are beyond blessed to have him in our lives and as our son. I am a lucky Mama.
This year he has grown up a lot. He is starting to get his Daddy's sense of humor and loves to joke around. School still comes very easy to him and the kid loves to read. Chapter book, after chapter book---and big books like Harry Potter. He can read them in 1-2 days. His latest obsession is sports books. He loves reading autobiographies about different players. While most parents say, "you need to read," we find ourselves saying, "You need to go to bed...put the book down!"
He still loves spending time with us which we are trying to cherish while it lasts. He loves his buddies but loves having them over at our house. He also tells us everything, and we hope that continues as he grows into his teenage years.
He has been blessed as a natural athlete. He doesn't seem to know what his favorite sport is but everything he tries he tends to do pretty well at. He is very much into hygiene. He showers, and brushes his teeth without us asking, and he loves to wear cologne. He also started to wear deodorant this year. And Girls---although he won't admit it.....and gets rather embarrassed when we even mention it...we have been told by several parents that the girls like him. And we had our first girl visitors the other day. A group of girls came over to give him a birthday gift and then they ran away--LOL. Our little boy is growing up. I can hardly believe that this is his last year of elementary school. I wish time would just slow down. Happy 10th Birthday Gavin, We LOVE you more than you will ever know!
Here is a little on how he spent his day:
Donuts and starbucks for breakfast--a Morgan Tradition.

Then he opened up his gifts from us. Sportswear (pretty much all he likes to wear these days), books, Infinity game for the Wii U, Houston Texans tickets, and a new Basketball goal that will be installed soon!



After school our family came over to celebrate.

His birthday dinner is always the same, Spaghetti and Meatballs with Italian Sausage.

I think he enjoyed celebrating the big "10!"

93. Ninety-three. Nanny Bananny.

Nanny turned 93 this year. All of my family came in town to celebrate. She went and had her drivers license renewed the week of her birthday. She passed the test with flying colors. She is such an amazing lady. It has been a rough year for her this year though. She has lost nearly every single one of her friends. Her last two best friends passed away right before her birthday so she hasn't been in the best of spirits, which is not like her. But she is hanging in there. I am so blessed to have her here. I pray that I am as lucky to live such a long, healthy life and see my kids, grand kids, and great grand kids grow. We love you Nanny!!

Ellie's Spa


Ellie wanted a Spa Party Sleepover. So we transformed our house into a SPA for her 8th birthday.

Lots of PINK and Blue...her two favorite colors...

She helped me make these nailpolish cookies...

The Guests arrived and signed in for their appointment.

And they changed into a spa wrap while they waited for their treatment.



And then the party began...

Make your own salt scrub...


Foot soak and magazines...




Face Masks and Cucumbers....
For dinner they had turkey and chicken salad sandwhiches, fruit, and veggies from Zoe's Kitchen.

They swam..

And jumped...

We played the musical nailpolish game....

Opened presents:

Blew out candles...

Played the crazy hair game:

Then they all watched Teen Beach Movie and ate popcorn before they finally crashed.... ALL FIFTEEN of them!

She said it was her BEST BIRTHDAY Ever!!! :) That made it all worth it!!
