My 22nd Birthday

For my birthday we had some friends over to celebrate the night before and Blake was excited to make me a cake and even made the frosting from scratch (it really was delicious!). He even decorated and blew up some balloons! It was a lot of fun.




Luckily I didn't have to go to work on my birthday so I got to sleep in which was nice. And when Blake came home he surprised me with flowers! What a sweet husband i have!

The Lion King

The Lion King Broadway show came to Spokane this month and Blake being the sweet husband that he is got us tickets for my birthday. I was so excited to see it because I have heard that it is amazing. But man I have to say that it was more than amazing, it was incredible! The costumes were ridiculously awesome and the actors all had amazing voices. The lady who played Rafiki was my favorite. She would speak this African clicking language that was fun to listen to and she had the best voice. The actors all sounded like the movie characters too. I just was in awe! It was so much fun, thanks Blake for a fabulous birthday present!

Holiday Updates

Sorry that it has been a long time since I have posted. This past month has been crazy! Here are some Halloween pictures of our fabulous pumpkins. I unfortunately do not inherit the Morgan genes of picture taking so i didn't get any pictures of us dressed up for Halloween. We decided to take the easy route and used Blake's old baseball stuff and dressed up as baseball players. Our friends Jake and Trisha had a super fun Halloween party that involved fabulous food and fun games. Blake even got brave and did bobbing for apples. It was way fun but I feel bad that I didn't take any pictures! Sorry! Then for Thanksgiving we went had it at another student's house with 5 other couples and the food was great. I was in charge of the sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie(I even made the pie crust from scratch!) which everyone said turned out to be good (hopefully they were not lying!). It was hard being away from family but it's nice to know that we have good friends here!


This year I decided to try Capt'n Crunch

Blake's Darth Vador


I do have to say they look pretty amazing!

I'm Pregnant!

So if you haven't heard the big news Blake and I are expecting! We went into the doctor's on Friday October 9th and found out that I am due May 10th. We are so super excited! It is right in middle of Blake's finals so it's not perfect timing but what can you do? The nice thing is that if Blake gets a summer internship in Utah again this summer we will be able to spend that time with family and friends at home. We don't have any feelings on what it will be but would like to know what you think. Boy, or girl?!? Let us know!

Ione Train Ride

Well my mom and sister came to Spokane over conference weekend which was so fun. I had heard about this cool train ride that takes you through the country side so you can see the fall colors. So we called and got tickets and then looked up to see where it was and found out it was 2 hours away! Ha ha! But we decided to go anyway and it turned out to be pretty funny. It is was a 90 min train ride that ended at metaline falls which we thought was a waterfall but turned out to be this tiny town. Ha ha! It was a good one time experience.

Spokane Temple

On our way back to Spokane, Blake's family was able to drive up with us. It was so much fun to have them here. Unfortunately I had to start right back into work, so they had fun without me going to the lake and bowling! But we were able to go to the Spokane temple together and do baptisms which was awesome. Thanks for coming to visit, come back soon!

Boating

We had such a great summer! We went boating more than we ever have before and it was awesome. Thanks grandpa for letting us use the boat, and thanks dad for taking us!

Bubble Fun!

We have the cutest nieces and nephews ever! My parents had this bubble machine which they all loved. So we let them loose in the backyard and took some fun pictures.

Summer

Wow, the summer has already flown by! For those of you who don't know Blake was able to get an externship here in Utah for the summer at the downtown courthouse. He is loving that experience, and told me he could see himself working there in the future. It's hard to believe that he has already completed his first year of law school, but we still have two more years to go! Oh well I have come to the conclusion that you have to love the life you live now, instead of dreaming for the life you hope to have.
We have had an amazing summer so far. It's been a blast to be with our families and enjoy our nieces and nephews. They are growing up so fast! It will be hard to go back to Spokane when the time comes, but we have made a lot of good friends there and are excited to see them again.

A shout out to Moms!

As you all know Mother's Day is coming up and I just wanted to let all those moms out there know how amazing they are, especially my own sister-in-laws, my wonderful mother-in-law and of course my own mom! They are all amazing examples and are all beautiful inside and out. Thanks for all you do!

Moving Again?!

So I swore that once we moved into a place here in Spokane that we would not move again till we moved back to Utah after Blake was done with school. But we didn't even wait a year!! 6 months later after moving to Spokane we move! At least this time it was only around the corner! We only took one picture of the actual moving process but lots of our new place! Hope you enjoy! Oh and I had to take a picture of the ice maker and the pantry because they are two of our favorite features!!!

SpRiNgTiMe

I am excited that Easter is coming up. That means that spring is here and warm weather is on its way! Yeah!! I am so sick of the cold! I will miss our Easter traditions back home, especially the egg rolling For those of you who don't know what egg rolling is let me explain. For as long as I can remember we have always decorated hard boiled eggs on Easter and then take them to Murray Park and roll them down a big hill. Strange I know, but lots of fun! The boys usually get bored with just rolling the eggs down the hill and start chucking them at the thousands of seagulls that usually accumulate to eat all the left overs. That is until one of my cousins actually hit one and thought he killed it! Luckily he didn't cuz he would get into a lot of trouble killing our state bird. I will be very sad to miss that!
Good news though! It looks like Blake is going to be able to get an externship this summer with a judge who works downtown Salt Lake!! YEAH!! So we will be able to come home for the summer. I am super excited! Love you all!

BABY BOSTON

Man I feel like the luckiest aunt ever!! Two new little ones only a couple of days apart!! Congrats to Neal and Shan!! Baby Boston was born very early in the morning on March 4th!! Kennedy and Kyson are thrilled to have a new baby brother!! I am way excited for their family!!

BABY LIESEL

I just have to say that I am so excited for Matt and Jen!! They have a beautiful baby girl that was born on March 2nd!! Man! She is just so adorable and lucky to have Matt and Jen as parents! They will be wonderful!! The hardest part is that we are living away and I was not able to be there to see her right away, but luckily Blake has spring break during the second week of March and the doctor that I work for is away on vacation so we are coming home for the week!! Hurray!! Congrats to Matt and Jen love you guys!!

It's about time!

Hey sorry that I haven't updated in forever! But nothing has too exciting has happened. We had so much fun over the Christmas break. I realize now more than ever how much I really love and appreciate all of my family!! Being away from home is way hard. People keep telling me that it is a good experience and that it pays off in the end and I sure hope that they are right! Man now my dream vacation is going home and spending time with family. It really made Christmas really special this year. Then we got back and started into the routine of things, work and school repeated fifty million times. Luckily my mom was able to fly out for the weekend to good old Spokane. We were able to go to the the temple together which was awesome. Our time flew by but it was nice and we were spoiled! And now I get to come home for a few days which is exciting, I can't wait!
