Julia's Birthday Party

Morgan's cousin, and best friend, Julia turned 6 years old yesterday.  Today Morgan and I traveled to Charleston to celebrate at Julia's Candyland Birthday Party!  It was amazing.  Morgan's Aunt Amy is so talented and made almost all of the decorations herself.  The girls had the best time being together and playing with the other kids.  Julia got a lot of nice gifts, including many My Little Ponies, which the girls promptly tore into once the party was over!  All in all, a wonderful day with family (even if I did spend most of the party huddled over my father-in-law's phone to get WVU game updates!)

Cousins, and Best Friends!

We are ready for some football!

Football season is in full swing here in the hills of West Virginia.  What an exciting year for the Mountaineers, as we enter a new conference and have a Heisman trophy candidate!

For the first game on September 1st, Morgan's best friend Lydia came to watch the game with her family.  Lydia is 6 weeks older, but Morgan looks like she is the older one doesn't she??  We had a great day watching our 'Eers defeat Marshall for the 12th time in a row!  

WVU vs. Maryland.....it was chilly and rainy.  Didn't stop our gal from eating a Zul (frozen lemonade) though!  She was so proud because she bought hers with her own money from her own wallet!

Staying dry and under covers.....and wearing Mama's sweatshirt to stay warm.

Our team won again, starting our Big 12 season with a 3-0 record.  Next week we will start Big 12 conference play, but Morgan and I will miss the game.  Instead we will be attending Morgan's cousin Julia's 6th birthday party in Charleston.

Let's GOOOOOOOOO Mountaineers!

And the Tooth Fairy Cometh...

 Big happenings in the Tenney household last night!  I bet from the pictures below you can guess what is going on :)

I am so sorry!

I am so embarrassed about how woefully behind this blog has become. I have updated the blog back through the beginning of May, so make sure you scroll down and see what Morgan has been up to!

Life was crazy for us in June and July, so now I am back to blogging and keeping everyone up to date on our spunky little gal!

First Day of FIRST GRADE

It's that time of year again!  Time for children all over America to go back to school.  I am sad that summer is over and Morgan is going back to school.  It is such a symbol of her growing up, way too fast in my opinion.

Morgan started back to school yesterday.  Surprisingly she was up with no fights or grumpiness at 6:00.  I think she was excited!  Patrick took her to school and walked her in, but she didn't want him going to the classroom because she's a FIRST GRADER and doesn't need him to walk her down the hallway.

Morgan is in Mrs. Buck's class this year.  She was excited to learn this on Move-In Day because Mrs. Buck is the teacher she wanted.  Most of her class is made up of children from her Kindergarten class, and some are from the other Kindergarten class, and a couple new of course.  She is super excited for the school year and I hope that she does well in her First Grade Year!

**These are actually 2nd day of school pictures.....Patrick took her to school yesterday and his phone died after one picture.**

Our Growing Girl

Today Morgan had her 6 year check up with Dr. Troischt.  Our gal has grown 4 inches since last year, putting her at an even 4 feet (48 inches).  She has gained 15 pounds since last year, putting her at a stout, but very healthy 61 pounds!  She is in the 95th percentile for height and 90th percentile for weight.  The first thing Dr. Troischt said when he walked in the door was "She is TALL!".  This explains how she went from a size 5 to a size 7 in ONE MONTH between May and June.  Overall Dr. Troischt said she looks perfect and we don't have to go back for another year!  Way to GROW Morgan!

Birthday Party Fun

Today Morgan attended her first of two parties at CTA High Flyers gymnastics center in between her 2 weeks stay with Nannie and Big Pop.  It was a Hawaiian themed party for her good friend Isabella.  Morgan loves going to the gymnastics center for parties.  Sometimes I wish I had enrolled her in gymnastics instead of ballet, but we can't go back now, right?!  She had an awesome time and is excited to go back for her friend Coen's party tomorrow!

 Each kid had their own coconut to drink from with their name on it!

Isn't that cupcake beautiful?  They all had fondant Hawaiian flowers on them!
