Morton Madness

I saw another mockingbird making a nest on our back porch.  We had so much fun watching all of this happen a few months back.  We cannot wait for the little things to hatch and watch them fly off! March 20th first egg

From the day Tara told me she was pregnant I had to LAUGH OUT LOUD!  I still giggle every time I talk to her or think about her... not only is she prego, it is IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS.  Yes, it is childish I know.  I remember when I laughed at Julianne when she shared the news of number four and about fell out when Daph told me she was prego with number four!  I soon learned what Karma was... Yep... Justin and I then found out we were expecting number FOUR! Tara and Justin laughed at us and gave me ALL of their baby stuff because they were done,  or so they thought.  Then Karma hit them... TWICE!  lol Justin sent a text letting me know that the Double Minters had arrived and everything was great!  Momma was great and so were both the girls.  I of course could not stand it so I went up the next morning after I dropped Seth and Sophia off at school to get my hands on those babies! Kylie: 6 lbs 9 oz.           ...

The kids and I loaded up And headed to Houston for Spring Break.  Justin was swamped with work and had to drive down to Austin Wednesday for a meeting and Houston Thursday for a meeting and then met up with us Thursday night in Katy.   We followed Ronnie and Theresa back so the ride was pretty easy, Keaton rode with me to help with The Hulk.    The ride down was uneventful except for the one stop on the two lane road they were doing construction on.  Seeing as how we were stopped for a good 15 minutes or so I threw the car in park and looked at Keaton and said, "Chinese Fire Drill".  He looked at me with a blank stare like I was HIS CRAZY OLD AUNT.  He had NO clue what that was!  So, I quickly explained to him what it was and around the car we went.  I thought it was the PERFECT birthday present for his 15th birthday.  I thought if he was stuck riding in the car on his birthday with his aunt and four little cousins we needed to...

The Hulk turned TWO today!  I cannot believe how fast it has gone by.  He did NOT want a picture so this is all I could get... I tried all day and this was the only one that was not that blurry from him running off!  

Biggest Morton Cousin sleepover ever!  10 Morton cousins having a sleepover.  We were only missing Kaleb.  Momma T and Ronbo photo bombed.  The kids had a blast!  

I decided to do a joint party for Sophia and Seth this year.  It was just going to be easier with basketball and Spring Break.   Of course with all the craziness that had happend these last few weeks I did not feel AT ALL prepared for the party.  I just ran out of steam and energy.  Justin has been working his tail off and I have NO idea how he is even functioning.  Seth and Sophia were both sick the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before the party so of course I got NOTHING done.  Two sick kids and out of town company coming...  no stress there :)   I needed the cake to be boy and girl appropriate so of course called Ashely to see if she could make it happen.  I sent her a picture of the invitation and she drew something up.  It was not really what I had pictured in my head so I told her that I want it split down the middle so when you turn it one way it looks like Sophias and then turn it around and it looks like Seths.  ...

Carlie had a doctors appointment so we got to hang out with Noah!  This first picture was NOT planned.  Noah came and laid on the step and then the others followed his lead... I could not even believe I snapped the picture.   The boys facial expressions crack me up

Today I woke up another year older... one year closer to 40!  I can honestly say that I do not feel "that old" until I get down on the ground and have to get back up.   Justin and the kids made me a card and some money to Banana Republic to do a little shopping.  I of course started the day with my GRANDE 6 PUMP NO WATER CHAI.  Later that morning we headed over to mom and dads for our birthday lunch.  It was freezing cold and raining and then it started to sleet.  We headed home before the roads got bad.   our drive home from mom and dads Nori took me out to dinner to The Keg and I found my new favorite drink.  I have NO idea what it is called but...  Then we headed to Willow Bend and did a little shopping.  Thanks Nori! I did not dress up for the party... because it was MY BIRTHDAY and I didn't want to.
