Haircut and Animals

Tavan has been super entertaining lately. He is learning so fast that it amazes us. He learned, within a matter or minutes,everyone in our families names and that he is two years old. He tries to show us two fingers but can't figure it out so he holds up all five, its cute. As quick as he has been learning, his hair has been growing. For awhile it seemed like we were trimming it all the time so it was time to get it taken care of. We got it cut a little shorter than we would have liked but it grows back so fast that we aren't worried.
we recently bought Tavan some animals and the night we got them, he wanted to play with them non stop and even show them to Papa Jim, so below is a video that he wanted for you dad.
For those who don't already know, the parents have all found out the name for baby #2 and so we just decided we would let everyone else know. so in case you havent already heard it, Tavan's little brothers name will be Dimitri Daniel Morgan. We are getting more and more excited for this little man to come join our family! I am only a few pounds away from weighing as much as I did when I delivered Tavan, so i think its safe to say I am/will be bigger than I ever was with Tavan. Dimitri is also measuring bigger than Tavan was at this point in the pregnancy, so that makes me happy and a little nervous at the same time :)

Here are some pictures of Tavan and his video for papa Jim

My Birthday

For my birthday this year we didn't do much. Both Ricky and I had to work. :( The Clinic was closed the monday before so my mom and I went and got pedicures together (me for bday and mom for hawaii) On my actual birthday I went to work, came home and we had a small get together for cake and ice cream before my family had to leave for Hawaii.Ricky got me this awesome ring from Kay that i absolutely love and want to wear everywhere because its so fun, but i try not to. Thank you Rick!

The next Tuesday we were able to drive to Park City to meet up with my dad. I was so thrilled when dad said he wanted to meet up that day that I was counting down the days! We were able to drive over, do a little shopping and have dinner with dad. It was short and sweet, but I loved every minute of it. Tavan was pretty excited to see his Papa Jim too. The whole way over he was telling Ricky and I that he was going for a drive to see papa jim and that he was going to give him a squeeze. It was pretty cute when he finally saw my dad and took off with him to go show him the tractors!

in baby news....Baby D is doing fabulous. He is pretty active and measures right where he should (Tavan was always small). We are getting pretty excited for his arrival in May :)

Christmas 2011

This year we spent Christmas here at home. We had Rickys big family dinner on the 23rd and had breakfast with my family at our house then dinner at theirs. Tavan had fun opening presents and also enjoyed having an audience (Grandpa and Grandma Stults, Jason and Jo D came to help). Tavan was spoiled by family and Santa and loves all his toys.

Ricky wanted a "belly" picture so I told him if I had to take one, so did he....
so here is his first =D


And my little belly


Tavan's car track. It glows in the dark too! He loves it

We had Jo D's name for Christmas so we got him a little gag gift for fun

Visit to Santa

This year we didn't get to make it to our ward party to see Santa so I went to my moms ward party with her. She has James' girls for a few days ans so Tavan and his cousins got to see Santa. =D

Grandpa Guy, Tavan and Mya

Olivia telling Santa what she wants him to bring her. Olivia was so scared to do this but she told us she would if we went with her...


not to thrilled with the picture, but she wanted us to take it to show her parents


next up to see Santa was Tavan... and well, Tavan showed him how he felt. I just love his face

Mya visiting Santa

and last but not least.....as I was packing up the diaper bag to take Tavan home to put in bed, I turned and saw this....apparently Papa Morgan wanted to let Santa know what he wants too!!

Trip to Utah!!

This year we took Tavan to see all the Christmas lights on Temple Square with Ricky's brothers family. It was fun to take a little trip with some of his family and Tavan loved all the lights, even though it was pretty cold. Tavan's favorite part of the whole trip was when we let him ride the train in the mall. He was so excited to ride it all around the mall.


Our trip over went pretty quick although it involved some serious discussion about what kind of trees we were seeing. Growing up my dad has taught me how to tell the difference between most types of trees and while we were driving Ricky kept pointing out these trees that he noticed where "different". I knew that I had once been taught the type of tree that they are but could not remember the name no matter how hard I tried so I text my dad as soon as I got service and I even included a picture....and well because I was drawing, Tavan wanted to draw a tree too. so here are our pictures that we sent my dad

my tree

Tavan's tree


and the actual type of tree we were trying to describe( in the middle of the picture....sort of)


When we reached Provo we went to lunch with some friends and Tavan was so done in the car that he was telling me his toes hurt and wanted to say cheese for the picture....random child...so here are his toes and Ricky in the background putting gas in the car

After our lunch and a couple of errands we met up with Brian's family and headed out to see the lights. There were a lot of people there, but it was so worth the trip!








Tavan riding the train up two blocks to the car, he thought it was pretty exciting even though he was so tired
