What a Merry Christmas!

What a sweet Christmas we had this year.
So much fun with Mr. Roman.
He got some new Binky's and a couple new outfits from Santa.
And lots of fun toys and clothes from his Grandparents.
It was so fun too,
having our own home to wake up in on Christmas morning.
Speaking of Christmas morning...

Here we are in all our morning glory!
~~~
We had a wonderful Christmas this year.
My heart is extra full.
I am so humbled by our many, many blessings.
We had a beautiful Christmas Eve,
where we really focused on the Savior.
The true meaning of the Season.


We hope you had a Merry Christmas too!
Love, The Morgans

Little Buddies

Last week, my friend Stacy brought her little boy over to play!
He is 4 weeks older than Roman.
It was so cute to watch them interact.

Okay, seriously? He could not get any cuter.
No wonder why I can't get anything done!
I can't get my lips off of this boy!

They held hands for 10 minutes straight.
So cute.

And here is our perfect little Christmas Tree.
{Perfect in our eyes. :) }
We have been busy trying to get the house in order before Christmas.
So much work to be done, and so little time!

We've Moved....

We have been a bit tied up lately...
We moved last weekend.
Moving is exhausting.
I hope we don't do it again for a long, long time!
~~~
More pics coming soon.
{because some of you keep asking}

{p.s.} How on earth is Christmas a week from today??
All I know is I can't wait!!

{p.p.s} I just have to give my sweet hubby a shout out...
Today is his last final.
Then one more semester and he is DONE!!!
How he balances work, school, & family, I have no clue.
But every day I love & admire him more.

Mr. Romes is a ladies man.



Last night Roman met Santa for the first time!
It was so cute! He isn't old enough
to freak out or anything. So he pretty much just sat there.
I had way more fun than he did!

The weekend of Thanksgiving we went up to
the cabin with some of the Morgan's.
This is Hannah, Lily & Roman.
It's so cute to see them all together.
It's hard to look at anything in this picture besides Lily's hair!
Is that the craziest SIX month old you have ever seen??


I love this cute one of Roman! Look at his huge eyes!
What a cute boy!!

This is the day after Thanksgiving.
~Jaidyn, Roman, Camry~
Cousin Love!

And I had to put this cute smiley one of Camry!
Roman is one lucky dude to grow up surrounded by all these beautiful women!

Oh, and in case anyone cares, here are the stats from
Romans 2 month Dr's appointment
Weight: 11 lbs 14 oz.
Height: 23 inches
He is in the 55% for every catagory! Even his noggin.

Also, we are moving next week!
We get the keys to our house on Monday.
Stay tuned...

What do you know for sure??


This last weekend I had the blessing of being able to go downtown with my Mom and Sisters to "Time Out For Women." It is kind of like a mini Education Week or Women's Conference. They do it all over the Nation. It is sponsored and put on by Deseret Book. This year they finally came to Salt Lake City! It was a lot of fun and very edifying. There were several great speakers, including Sheri Dew, Michael Wilcox and Wendy Watts Nelson. Jenny Oaks Baker did the music on Friday night and Hilary Weeks was there for Saturday. It was really fun. I really suggest you look into going next year! You can find out more by clicking HERE.

The theme was SWEET ASSURANCE. They talked about the sweet assurances that we have here on this Earth. They asked us to think about this question:
What do I know for SURE?
...
  • Well, one thing I know for sure, is that when all is said and done, all that matters is my family. My Husband. My Baby Boy. Not my house, not my car, not the clothes I wear, not how much money we make, NOTHING.
  • I know that the Savior lives and is real and is here for me.
  • I know that families can be together forever, thanks to the Atonement and the blessings of the temple.
What do you know for sure? I would love to know...

An End of October Catch up!


We have been busy here at the Morgan Household!

For starters, last Sunday, Baby Roman was blessed along
with his two cousins.
{Sorry... for some reason the below two pictures won't rotate...}

The little man of honor...


Mommy Kisses!!

Jaidyn~Roman~Camry

Our new little family...

Grandma Morgan... Me & Roman... Grandma Harris
~~~
We are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family.
It was such a sweet day!
Casey gave Roman such a beautiful and sweet blessing.
Our hearts feel full this week.
...
On a side note, Case and I made pizza tonight.
Homeade crust and all.
I had to take pics. It was so freakin delish.
{Sorry, I just was really proud.}

...
And moving on...
We had a great Halloween this year.
We are finding out that everything is just a little bit
more fun with a little baby side-kick.

Watch your back!
This was the scariest Dino on the block!

See how scary?
Ha ha.. the little guy was all tuckered out!

Soy-Man and Romes.
...
We had to make a stop up to the J&E Morgans house.
Jared's sweet Mom makes all these millions of
doughnuts every year for all the trick or treaters and the parents!
Its so fun every year to go and get our doughnuts. :)
It was a great Halloween!
How was yours??

4 weeks have come and gone so fast....

But it seems like he has been with us forever...

Little Rome's is growing up so fast already!
It's amazing how I have just known him for 4 weeks,
but I feel like I know everything about him.
And I can't remember life without him!



He is such a good baby.
He usually sleeps til about 4 am every night.
We can't complain about that!



This is Casey's cousin Alex, and their baby Lily.
She is 4 months older than Roman.
{Have you ever seen a baby with more hair?}
She is adorable!



Everyone comments on his big beautiful
blue eyes and his great skin.

Both are true.
His Daddy has great skin too.
Must be genetics!




Casey has excelled in every way possible in Fatherhood.
He never ceases to amaze me!
He surprised me with an amazing "Mommy" gift.
I will have to tell you about that one later!
{It's good ladies... one word ...Tiffany's!}


He loves his bath time!
He could easily fall asleep in there if we would let him!
Being a Mommy is the best thing ever.
We love you Baby Rome's!

Making lots of Memories...


Our great friend, and the talented Tara Shreeve came over a week or two ago and took Roman's first official baby pictures. Here are some favorites. We are still waiting to see the rest, but I am sure there are more cute ones to come!


I didn't think it was POSSIBLE
to love Casey more than I already did.

But then we had a baby.
I have no words to explain it.
You just have to go through it to know it, I think.


We are so deeply grateful - every single day-
for the joy that Roman has brought to our lives.
I always imagined what Parenthood would be like...
this has surpassed all of my dreams.
It's amazing how I have only "known" him for 3 weeks,
but I feel like I know him so well.
And I love him so deeply.


I just wish I could slow down time...

He Has ARRIVED!


I am going to try to tell you in the shortest way possible,
about the most amazing day of my life.
{Next to getting married, of course...}
So, last Tuesday I went to my usual Doctor's appointment and my Blood Pressure
was miraculously high. I think it was a gift from Heaven.
My Doctor asked me if I could be back to the hospital and 6pm
and we could have our baby! It was such a huge surprise!!
So, long story short, that's how we ended up at the hospital two weeks early,
ready to have our sweet baby boy...
They made me wear a mask most the night because I had a "cold."
The nurses were all germa-phobes.
{ p.s. look how huge my belly was!! }
2 in the morning and delirious...

Casey wanted to hold up 10 fingers to represent that I was finally to a 10!
After 18 hours of Labor, it was finally time to push!
{That's right... I said EIGHTEEN. }
well, it was really twenty, but anyway...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

And then, he came. After pushing for only 45 minutes,
this precious baby boy was looking me in the eyes.


Roman Michael Morgan
Born 9.30.09
2:06 p.m.
9 lbs 1 0z.
and 20 inches long

See? I told you he was staring me in the eyes...
Casey was so sweet and perfect during my whole labor and delivery.
He is such a good Daddy and has been so extremely helpful and supportive.
I am so lucky to have him.


We are in love.
Here he is with his two other cousins that were born this month!

Melts. My. Heart.


Getting ready to go home...
So, there ya have it.
Having little Roman in our lives has made us happier then I could ever imagine. We feel so blessed to be trusted to raise this little boy.
I am so full of emotion 24\7.
I can't even tell people how much I love him or I just start crying!
Needless to say, we are so happy.
A little exhausted, but happy.
This blog is going to become a Roman blog.
Sorry. I just know it's all I am ever going to want to talk about.
I am one of those Mom's. I am just warning you in advance.
