Morgan's Fun Week

For our playgroup this week, we decided to go to a pheasant farm. One of the mom's neighbor raises pheasants and let us come over to feed them and watch the babies hatch.
She's also testing out raising turkeys but so far has not had much success.

Watching the babies hatch.

This morning was Morgan's Little Gym class showcase.

Morgan's been taking this class since we moved here and just loves it. I am amazed at how far Morgan has progressed in 10 weeks. He is much more confident in his abilities and is willing to try all the new skills. I was very proud of my little man today!

Excited to be there!

Using his jumping skills to jump the rope. One of the skills they've worked on is jumping with two feet together. Since Morgan spends half his day jumping he is very good at this.

Morgan's favorite skill is the bars. He loves to hang on them, swing on them and spin over them. Spotting him is not the easiest because he is a hefty kid. Good thing his teacher Miss Anna is so strong!

Fearless

The balance beam is not his favorite but at least he's willing to try it out. Whenever Miss Anna was teaching a new skill Morgan was always first in line to try it out. When we first started the class Morgan spent a large chunk of time off on his own but now he really pays attention and participates with the group. He use to cry and cling to me all during warm up excersises but lately he has been happy to do it. The last two classes the parents were asked to sit against the wall and let the kids do it themselves with the teacher. At first Morgan wasn't sure about it but then he ran right up and joined her. Today he was the first one up and smiling so big. He's usually very shy but he seemed to be enjoying the attention. It was so cute!

Doing bubble yoga. I especially love his mountain pose.

Morgan received a medal for finishing the semester.

It was very cute watching him accomplish something and enjoy the recognition.

Since it was a special showcase day, families and friends were invited to come watch and take pictures. It made me a little sad that there was no one to come watch Morgan. Just another reason why it's great to live near family.

Another reason would be to have help when you're sick. Yesterday I came down with mastitis. I felt perfectly fine in the morning and then all of a sudden I had horrible chills and I was achey and tired all over. I had no energy and a terrible headache. By the time Cody came home I was miserable. I finally asked Cody to call someone to help him give me a blessing because I was worried about taking Morgan to his gym class and having the energy to take care of the kids. Another brother in the ward was nice enough to come over and Cody gave me a wonderful blessing. I truly have a testimony of the power of blessings and the priesthood. I knew that if I got a blessing everything would be ok. Maybe I would still feel sick but I would be able to cope with everything. I'm still not a hundred percent but I feel much better. I am so grateful to be married to a priesthood holder who is worthy to bless my family and me.
