Tonight Uncle Jared cooked the most wonderful Pot Roast. We also celebrated by opening two of Megan's birthday presents from Grandma and Grandpa Barlow. Here are a few pictures a videos from tonight!

balloon envy

Here's another moment when Megan was enjoying her balloon without even realizing that she was torturing the dogs with it! Dont tell the dealership, but we stole it off of their new Mazdas. . . Thanks guys!

Megans is Cute Stuff

Just a quick moment of Megan enjoying being in the spotlight =)

Happy Birthday Megan!

Even though this post is a bit old, I think it's important to post a few pictures of Megan's big day.

Merry Birthday!!

Christmas 2008 was by far the greatest in our family, for two reasons. ONE, it was Megan's first birthday. TWO, we got to spend Christmas with BOTH of Megan's grandparents! What a treat it was to have the most important people in our lives under one roof at the same time. And it was even better because they spoiled Megan absolutely rotten that whole weekend! We had a great time enjoying each others company, seeing the sites, and celebrating the birth of two wonderful individuals. If only every year could be this nice. . . except for all of the food and sweets. My mother, Chris, made cinnamon rolls, twix bars, and a few other things that we couldn't even begin to finish. I thought I had a few pounds to lose when I had Megan. I think the weight I gained this Christmas outweighs one year ago. Oops.

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!

This was Megan's first Halloween (duh) and we had every intention of going all out to make sure she got her fill of it all. We went to the ward Halloween party, we had a pumpkin carving party, and even went out trick-or-treating for a little bit. Our thoughts were to keep it simple and only visit people we knew in the neighborhood, but we ended up walking around for a couple of hours and scoring huge amounts of candy - all for megan =) actually, I think we did it the smart way and gorged ourselves on candy all night long and threw away whatever was left in the morning (dont worry, there were only the lame candies left to throw away). It was a lot of fun and Megan seemed to enjoy being dressed up. She only tried to eat her wings once =)

We can't get enough

It must be that every parent goes through this with their first child (I'm sure with all of them, but perhaps especially their first child), in that they simply can't get enough of them. Well, if that's the case then Matt and I most certainly fall into that category. We can't stop playing with her and enjoying the little things she does. It's amazing to watch her grow and learn, and she does it all so well! Anyway, this picture is a more recent photo of Meg where we just had to stop and smile because she was being "oh so cute" as usual.
