Well it again has been awhile. Ryan now works for Henry Schrien which he really likes right now. I am still in school and should be done by May or June!!!! Morgan is doing well. She is doing great in school and karate. She is talking up a storm now and of course is in that phase of bossing people around. She is so dang cute though when she does it you almost want to do what she tells you too.

Whole New Chapter in Our Lives

Morgan loved running through the water
But her poor little legs turned blue!
Morgan's First Day of School!!!
Morgan likes to pretend to read mommy's books!





Well we haven't updated in awhile again, but hey things are really busy. Morgan is now in school. She is hard to read, some does she loves it and other days she doesn't like going. On a brighter side though she is picking up on things extremely quick and loves to do her homework. I think her favorite class is cooking cuz that is all she talks about! She is doing well in speech and physical therapy and her back has not gotten any worse. Ryan is now in his first week of his new job at Advanced MD in Draper and so far he loves it! He has even bought a commuter car that is identical to the car he had when we were dating. Julie starts school in October in Medical Transcription and hopes to be done within 6 months! We are hanging in there and are excited for what the future holds.

Vacation

Morgan got a new dress for Church and she loves it!
Our favorite water fall up close and personal
Same waterfall just standing across the canyon
We saw a lot of Buffalo, but this one didn't seem to care that we were there

Morgan in daddy's hat and eating a whole cookie by herself

Looking straight down into hot pool
Formation coming out of the middle of Yellowstone Lake
Ryan relaxing with the waterfalls




The hot water had the most beautiful colors
Just another hot pocket
A cool rock!

Well we are almost done with the month of May!!!! We are gong on vacation to Yellowstone National Park in June and we can't wait. As you can see from the photos Morgan loves her snow boots and putting things on her head. She had a blast dyeing Easter Eggs and celebrating her 3rd Birthday!! We can't believe she is now 3. Morgan was in the hospital twice in April and has a hard time bouncing back but she is finally up to 27 pounds. Morgan will also go into Primary Children's on May 24th for a sleep study to confirm her oxygen levels. Depending on how things turn out she may or may not have to have another major jaw line surgery done. We are constantly praying for her. Morgan also start a Private Pre-School in August!! We have visited the school and Morgan just has a hayday. Ryan and I are doing well. Ryan is currently looking for a new job that will better equip his computer skills. We hope that things are well with everyone else and hope you keep in touch.

Another update...sort of.....

According to Lindsay's latest post, " you guys suck at updating your blog. come on... your new goal should be to post at least once a month." Well, what can I say? We all have goals in life, like me wanting to drop 50 pounds by the end of the year......Anyway, here's some new pictures we had taken a couple weeks ago. I'll let Julie do the family "news" update shortly.

An update--Finally!!

So I realize it's been what, 5 months since we updated this thing?? It hasn't been from lack of effort, trust me! So here's what has been going on with us. First of all, we have started going through the adoption process through LDS Family Services. It has been quite a learning experience for us already to say the least but we are so excited to know that eventually we will have another member of our family. Our new caseworker is awesome. We had our individual interviews with her a couple weeks ago and will have our home inspection this Thursday. We're nervous but very excited. We know we still have a long ways to go with this process but I know it will be worth it in the end.

In other news, I(Ryan) left myfamily.com in July. I now work at a company called Xactware doing tech support. Julie and I are both happy about the change. I love my new job and the change of atmosphere was much needed. Julie has started working again as well. She is working as a server at the Olive Garden. Despite sore feet, she really likes her job and I love the discount on the great food! :)

Morgan is still our happy little girl and is keeping us on our toes. She has started a horse therapy program once a week to work her back muscles and she absolutely loves it! She get so excited the second we pull into the driveway to the ranch. She kicks the back of the seat saying "horsey! horsey!" Mentally she is really picking things up. She can count to 20 and is learning her colors right now. She will go in for surgery number 8 on November 2ND. She is having her ear tubes replaces and having all the sores taken off her face and eyes. It shouldn't be a major surgery but she will look like 10 miles of bad road for awhile after the procedure. She has a JoJo costume for Halloween this year so we'll be sure to post some pics of her costume in a couple weeks.


Well, that is pretty much 5 months in a nutshell. We will do our best to keep this up to date more often! Plan on some more after Haloween and surgery.
