Good Early Morning to everyone,
Well I completed my first race on Sunday since Olivia Kate was born a year ago! And, surprisingly it went very well for it being zero degrees and windy when we began, as well as quite slippery and snow covered in most areas! I ended up placing 4th in my age division at 1:45:00 so i was very happy with that. And overall I was 40th out of 190 people that finished!!!!
I was not sure I was going to run it because that morning it was so cold out...I told scott multiple times that I could just go to the gym and come back home instead! But I am really happy that I went out and actually did it!
Other than that we really have not done too much lately.
Last Friday the kids and I went out to eat with Kari and Benjamin for Karis Birthday and went and did a little shopping at the MOA. Henry also went on his first ride while we were there (thanks so much Kari for letting me go on the ride with him!) and to my surprise Henry LOVED it! It was a little roller coaster and he put his hands up and everything! It was so cute! Now I cannot wait to take him back again for some more rides! And I got to go to my beloved store ATL! Amen! I miss that store so much in rochester, although, scott has noticed that it has helped our checkbook just a bit! I wish I had my camera while we were out to eat, I felt so bad, but Olivia made such a mess! Oh my goodness, I felt so terrible! It was truly everywhere under her chair/table area! Henry was a good boy while we were shopping! a typical two-year-old who wanted to hide under the clothing racks in stores, run away from us! but overall a very good boy! and he was also so excited because he got to see airplanes on our way home! it was the prefect time of evening, because there were at least ten planes waiting to land that were just hovering in the sky and he loved it!
Olivia did get her 1 year photos done the other day by a lady in Stewartville, she was so sweet and did just a great job despite Olivias temperment that day! she wanted nothing to do with pictures that day! I think I will need to bring Henry along from now on so that she has someone to play with while we are there! if you wish to view the photos you can go to http://www.peapodphotographybytina.com/

There are only 18 photos, which i thought I might be sad that there were only 18, but in honesty, it is so awesome! I love all 18 photos, they are so sweet, innocent and precious and I can actually choose relatively easily which ones I want enlarged and on my wall!
This week we have school again on thursday and then we start swimming lessons with both kids on thursday evenings, so i will have to take some photos! I hope that all goes well and that they both love it! and on saturday I have not decided for sure since both kids kind of have a cold but I might take henry tubing at the ironwood spring ranch in the evening and olivia might go to wrestling with dad! I am just not sure how much henry would really like it, or if he will just be scared!
well, i gotta get back to work!
have a great week, katie

Happy 1st Birthday Olivia Kate!
I cannot believe how fast Olivias First Year flew by! It is so sad! She is just getting to be more and more fun though!!!! It is amazing how much a one year old knows and understands! I am ready for her to start walking (kind of)... She really does not show a whole lot of interest in it yet, other than with her walking toys....but she loves being a total girl! On Saturday, Scott and I took H and O to the Childrens Museum in St. Paul and a little boy kept playing with Olivia in this one little area and she kept just waving her bracelet at him...it was so cute! I just thought....what a girl! We had her Birthday Party on the 23rd, and she got so many great toys and cute clothes! And Henry got her a little music/stage toy from him and Scott and I got her a handmade bracelet, necklace and earrings set and it is so precious! I just love it! and surprisingly, she leaves it all alone for the time being! And we also got her a cozy coupe...since Henrys I bought at a garage sale and it has seen much better days! Tonight I actually sadly have to work, but plan to make us a nice supper and scott is bringing home a DQ Reeses Blizzard cake that I can eat! So we can all have some cake for her Bday before I head to work! I will attach a link to some photos for you all to go view...they are too cute! and I can finally get her hair into a cute little pony tail! and I love it! lately she has been pulling all of her bows and flowers out of her hair so I thought ponytails at least are a bit more challenging! Well have a great day, and I will write more soon....oh yeah....and Scott and I booked our flight AND hotel for FT. Myers Beach, Florida for the beginning of March! I cannot wait! 5 days of no kids! what will we do?!?! it will be so great! ~The Morgans

Christmas 2009
Happy 2010 Everyone,
I am really going to be a good mommy and start updating this more often....that is my 2010 resolution....that and play more, clean less! So since I last updated, Scott had a Birthday and turned the big 28!!!! And I also had a birthday and turned the big 25! A quarter of a century! Then we had Thanksgiving, which was a bit different this year because none of my siblings came home and instead of going somewhere for lunch I made a Thanksgiving meal for my parents and us, and I have to say I think it all turned out quite nicely! It is always nice to be able to use my beautiful dishes that do not get used very often! Then on the 20th of December we went to the ALbers Christmas in Oronoco and it was great to see everyone, and we got to meet Matthew and Briannas little baby girl Magdalena and found out that my cousin Joleen and her husband Jay are expecting in July, so the Albers clan is really growing! Christmas Eve we went out to Scotts parents and had a lovely feast. Scott got some tools that he wanted, so he was very happy! I got a new winter coat that was much needed and a beautiful pair of warm mittens! as well as a gift card to get a new pair of jeans....amen! I now do not have a jacket from High School and I can wear a cute new pair of jeans that are not from High School! Olivia got a cute little walker, books, Nikes, and some other toys...including her first doll! Henry got a new red tractor, digger, and ammonia tank!, as well as a tractor pillow case, red tractor pillow, cars shoes (that light up!) and some little tractors and wagons too, and a dump truck! Then at Great-Grandpa McNamaras Henry got a nother dump truck with a plow on the front, and from carmen he got some puzzles which we have already done a million times! And Olivia got a beautiful handmade dollhouse bookcase from Great-Gpa Mc!!!! Hopefully I will have photos soon! it is amazing! We just have to go paint it one of these days!!!! But it is just beautiful! Olivia also got a little purse from Carmen that is too cute and she loves to play with it, putting eveything in and out! Then on Christmas day we went to my parents house and Henry got a three blind mice pillow case (because that is one of his many favorite songs!), a bobcat/skid loader, and a clock puzzle...oh and how can I forget....the beloved haybales!!!!!! And Olivia got a cute blanket that my mom made, a doll and carrier, and a cute little Minnie shirt for this summer (that I am quite certain Henry will want to wear!) and I got a beautiful yard decoration! I cannot wait until the ground finally thaws so that I can put it up! Scott got a great Minnesota Gophers Sweatshirt that has already been worn multiple times! and a farm game that we really do need to play sometime! And Kari and Kyle gave Henry a nice metal dump truck and a Bob the Builder movie! Then Santa....oh santa....how could I forget....Santa brought Henry a train table and train set, which he really does love and he things he needs to show everyone who comes to our house! and he got an ambulance, tag reading system with some books, a disney collection book, a snow white puzzle, a MN twins shirt, a mickey shirt, the memory game, paint, markers, coloring books, play doh, candy, and a Dr.Suess game. Olivia got the alphabet train from santa clause and it is really cute! she also got a doll that giggles, a nightie, puzzles, a little push toy/riding toy, and some books. So santa was pretty darn good to Henry and Olivia! Then on saturday we went to my parents again to see scott, steph gavin and maddie. And They had more gifts for Henry and Olivia....Henry got a twins shirt, a puzzle, and the fishing game!!! and Olivia got another cute little walker and an adorable little dress!!! So now we are still just trying to rearrange things in our house to organize all these toys!!!!
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will be listing our house for sale in Zumbrota so that we can move to the country!!! we will keep you posted! Oh, and Olivia did get her ears pierced, and they are so cute!!!! I will add some photos either later tonight or tomorrow of christmas and the kids, so please check back soon....and as said earlier I will try to update this more often!
See you Soon~The Morgans
