My 100th post means 100 memories I don't want to forget!

I finally have hit the triple digits in blog posts, so I thought I would do something a little differently and go back down memory lane.
1. I love to sleep.
And I use to sleep with my eye masks.
So when lil' Soph was born I bought her a matching one.

2. Big Earl has taugt me well!
Summer is approaching and I love going fishing with my papa.
Even though that usually means I have to drive the boat and an incredibly slow speed to troll for fish. I love spending time with my dad and on the water.
"FISH ON!" 3. Summer concerts with my dear friend, Era!
Me and this girl LOVE concerts especially in the summer.
This is one of our many times we have gone to see Josh Gracin. Like always we had a great time!
4. Doesn't this picture say it all? 5. Ladies night out! We love them! We typically always find some randoms that want to join in the fun! Hence the random grown men in the left hand corner.
6. A visit from my "big brother".
This is Dave. I met him back in 2003 at a Leadership conference in Illinois and we have stayed in contact ever since.
He is great and I always look forward to his visits.
7. How is this for a gas saver?
8. After looking through my pictures, I realized I have many that resemble this one below. I ask myself.... Why? 9. Big Thunder Mountain!
This picture makes me laugh.
We have started a tradition to take picutres while on this ride.
It makes us laugh because we always get some classics like this one.
10. Cutest bugs in town. Halloween 2008.
(If you only knew how long it took us to get this picture with both of us in the air!)
11. Tony thought he was so funny in this picture.
I remember being in SO much pain, so I can only imagine what Miss May was feeling.
This picture illustrates how we like to entertain ourselves duing long lines at Lagoon.
12. This was many of our date nights together, while Cassia and Gage were in Utah.
Sure do miss you guys!
13. My sweet Chloeina's birthday dinner!
I can't believe how much she has grown up.
This is when she turned four years old but when you would ask her she would say "fer years old" SO STINKIN CUTE!
14. Spring is coming which means... SOCCER GAMES!
Gabe, Sophie and Chloe are our fantastic soccer players.
What would a Saturday be without hearing, "kick n' run"?
15. How can you not love a family like this?
Because I sure do.
16. My trip to Washington DC.
That city was absolutely incredible.
I could have spent a month there and never been bored.
I miss you, Langles!
17. Our latest adventure, Festival of Colors.
It was an adventure.
We were covered from head to toe and then some.
I would highly suggest everyone experiences the Festival at least one time in your life.
18. And then there was eight...
I cannot believe the kiddo count is up to eight.
four boys. four girls.
The first Sunday dinner the new edition attends we always lay all the kiddos down and take a picture. Christiana was not loving this experience, so this is the best picture we got.
19. This little girl loves to tease her Aunt Mo.
She kept leaning in for a kiss and then saying ..."You can't kiss me."
20. Pumpkin carving night! One of the best nights of the year!
21. Wicked. Need I say more?
This show is amazing.

22. Family cruise to Mexico, January 2007.
23. I love seeing old pictures like this.
I still have the giant smile that if you catch it just right my cheeks will completely hide my eyes.
24. We still talk about this horse back riding adventure to this day.
My horses name was, Big Fella.
He was very big. I was very small. It made for quite the day with my legs in the splits the entire time.
25. This face makes me happy.
This is Amy or Langles, which is usually what I call her.
I would bust up laughing everytime she made this face.
We worked together as Academic Counselors for a 18 months.
Best co-worker ever. I sure miss her and wish she didn't have such a smart husband that had to go to law school.
26. Swimming with the dolphins, Cabo San Lucas.
Ash and I had a great time swimming with the dolphins.
Funniest moment. We were in the water with the dolphin and he is swimming around us. All of a sudden Ashley starts pushing me towards the dolphin. What she failed to mention the dolphin had taken care of some business. She just pushed me right into that!
27. When you look at this picture, you probably think what in the world?
Here is a little background.
When we go out, we tend to make up funny stories about each other.
We proceeded to tell an older gentlemen that it was Lindsey's birthday so they would buy her a drink. Well he wanted to give her a special dance. And we just let it happen. I was crying because of the amount of laughter.
28. Talia and Morgan.
Best pals ever.
I've been pals with this girl since the 8th grade.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
29. This is my Special Events Committee at UVSC.
They were fantastic and made my experience down there.
I sure miss this wonderful people.
30. The best part of this picture is that Ashley is the Easter Bunny.
We are in charge of the annual Easter Egg Hunt at work every year.
And every year, Ashley is kind enough to be the bunny!
Lesson learned from the first year. Bunny has to close her eyes, because if not, you could see her creepy blue eyes in ALL the pictures. I'm sure there are children still frightened by their picture.
31. Ugly sweaters. Check.
Girls that I love dearly. Check.
Best Christmas Card Ever. Check. (or should have been)
32. The Langles come to visit.
This was a great day when Amy and Nate came back to Utah to visit.
COME BACK AGAIN!
33. Meet Curtis.
We met our first day of college, at SLCC.
We have been best pals ever since.
Now that we are grown up and don't skip class together. I don't see nearly enough of this kid.
But love him still the same. But thankfully, his darling wife updates their blog and I get to get the latest Curtis update.
34. I recently talked about my Grandma. I love her. She is an incredible woman.
35. Family bowling, sure!
Sister picture with our matching shoes... SIGN US UP!
36. This is Grace.
She is my doggie.
I love her. We are pals. And I can't wait for summer so we can be outside more together.
37. That's right. We made a sign for the Keith Urban concert.
he typically picks audience members and bring them up depending on what their sign says.
Of course, this was the first concert that he did not do it.
Just our luck!
38. My sweet, Cabbers.
I love them.
This is one of my favorite groups in the entire world.
They were the BEST board in the entire world and became some of my best friends.
39. My graduation from WSU.
Even though my time was short at Weber State. (12 months to be exact)
I'm still proud to be a Wild Cat.
And thankful for my wonderful friends and family that came to support me on my special day.
40. Lindsey and I celebrating our birthdays together.
41. Laying out the entire 2nd day of our cruise.
It was a fantastic start to a even more fantastic week.
Carnival had no idea what they were getting themselves into with us ladies!
42. A Day of Fun at Lagoon.
I had some extra tickets Lagoon tickets from being the party planner at my work.
So Ash, Daph, Tony, Zach and I went for a day of fun!
We had quite the day together.
Who doesn't love a day of fun, away from work?
43. Paying $1 to hold this beast.
It was huge.
For any of you who know me, know that I do not like creatures like this.
They creep me out.
And yet, I paid $1 to hold it. Doesn't make sense.
44. Meeting Josh Gracin in Wendover.
Erin, Richael, Zach and I went out for the concert.
So much fun!
45. Taking Cole to the Keith Urban concert for this birthday.
He is my kind of kid.
He wanted to go so bad.
So I just couldn't resist buying him a ticket so he could come with us.
46. My sissy's.
I love them so much.
They are the best.
Some of my favorite time with them is sitting on the couch at my parents house laughing with each other.
They are 3 of my best friends.
47. Remember on the Nintendo Track and Sport when you finished a race it would have a picture similar to this with the winner and loser?
Yep, that's right.
We are showing who won. 48. My wonderful group that I did my MBA program with.
I spent the majority of my evenings with these wonderful people.
As strange as it sounds, I really miss them.
49. Okay, if you were only there for this moment.
Natalie and I thought it would be a good idea to ride together on this ride.
Well, actually Natalie did. She didn't want to look like a loner.
It took us some time to wedge ourselves in there.
To only have the lovely Disneyland worker make us find the seat belt.
Really? Where were we going?
We literally wedged ourselves in there!
NEVER AGAIN, NATALIE!
50. Hot Air Balloon Ride.
This was amazing.
Although, I did feel like my head could catch on fire at any given moment, and really wished I didn't use any hair spray that morning.
The take off and landing were by far my favorite.
51. I love being an aunt.
It is the best.
I also love when they are sweet and will hold my hand. So far, none of them are "too big" for their Aunt Mo.
It will break my heart when that day comes.
52. Evenings spent in Millcreek canyon with my puppy.
It's so beautiful and relaxing.
53. Stupid rain.
It ruined our trip to Stone Island.
But we ran and played in this rain like we had never been in rain before.
The locals were looking at us like we were crazy.
After our trip being canceled we went back to our room for an afternoon nap.
Apparently, it cleared up and was beautiful the entire time we were sleeping.
Figures!
54. Our wonderful cruise.
We had so much fun.
This was one of our formal nights.
55. A Morgan n' Ash moment.
This is us.
Just love us for the crazy people we are.
56. Wave running in Bear Lake.
Anything in Bear Lake for that matter.
I love that place.
57. Mardi Gras Party.
Oh, how I miss our parties that we had at our Midwest house.
58. My Executive Council Experience.
This was one of my best years... EVER.
Hands down. Most entertaining year in college.
I spent countless hours with these 6 people.
I have memories I will never forget with each one of these people.
59. These lovely faces.
I love my cabbers.
Always have, always will.
Love you... mean it!
60. Leadershape.
Even better than Leadershape.
Jamie and my sissy.
Best session ever.
61. Meeting Mr. Belding
Who doesn't love Saved by the Bell?
I sure do!
But for the record, Mr Belding is a creeper.
62. Portland.
I love that city.
I had such a wonderful trip with these wonderful people.
63. My BIG WIN IN WENDOVER!
I told Zach and the beginning of the week of us going out there that I was going to WIN BIG!
He laughed.
So I wrote "Lucky" on my $5 bill and told him that I would win.
He laughed.
Thanks to my lucky bill, I WON $93!
It was a great night and provided many laughs!
64. My buggie.
I loved my bug!
Dylan and Cole miss my bug or "Herbie" more.
65. Performing.
This is one of the biggest things I miss from high school.
I was in many shows and have so many wonderful memories from each show.
This was the Productions musical review, Loveland.
My favorite show, hands down.
66. My sisters.
I love being the baby sister that everybody looks out for.
I have 3 wonderful sisters that have always taken such good care of.
And also, my parents life was not complete until I was here! 67. Old family photos.
They are great when you stumble across them.
My mom was so mad at me this day for crying and ruining our family photo.
Sorry, mom!
68. This picture was taken my last day working at the zoo.
Lindsey and Stacy are the best thing from the zoo.
Hands down.
69. Working at the zoo did have some perks.
Feeding the animals was so much fun.
70. Nights at the Bongo.
Seriously, dumpiest place ever.
But SO many good times.
71. A typical trip to Wal-Mart for me and Lindsey.
This is our life.
Yes, it is a joke.
72. Raining Jane.
They are a band that I met when I was the Activities VP for SLCC.
They are some of the most talented and greatest women I know.
73. Giving Merrill "highlights"
Home hair jobs never end well.
Let's just say this one was no exception.
74. My graduation dinner.
Ashley was a great bestie and planned a wonderful graduation dinner after I completed my MBA program.
I was so lucky to have wonderful people in my life that supported me and were there the entire way.
75. My Layton peeps.
I'm proud that I'm from Layton and love all of my peeps.
It is always fun going to weddings and events that you see old friends.
76. Our Love Ferns.
Amy and I planted "love ferns" for earth day at work.
We kept these puppies alive for quite sometime.
Okay, Amy did. But that is not the point.
77. 4th of July- in Layton.
Don't mess with my hometown celebration.
This is my favorite holiday.
We start in the early morning and end late at night.
It is wonderful.
I love watching the small town parade.
I love going to the park with it is 100 degrees.
I love having a Big Earl BBQ.
I love spending the day with my family.
God Bless the USA
78. Keith Urban in Wyoming, yes please!
This was the BEST Keith Urban concert ever.
Yes, there were long lines.
Yes, it was hot!
But man, were we close and did he put on an amazing show!
79. White Trash Extravangaza.
The picture explains it all!
80. Me and my freak face, Erin!
81. The random gifts from me and era!
Good times.
This night we decided to take gifts to a couple of people.
One was a signed Keira Knightly magazine and the other was a package of oreos wrapped in duct tape.
Any reason for these? Nope!
Just all around random gifts.
82. Our cleaning pants.
Erin and I were helping the boys clean their apartment when they were leaving and we didn't want to ruin our pants.
So we made our own in garbage sacks.
We are so SMART! 83. We WON'T GROW UP!
84. Gingerbread houses!
They are one of my favorite things to do during Christmas time.
Ever year they get a little better and more creative.
This year we assemble our roof wrong and it made for some good laughs.
85. Wicked is so good it made this list TWICE.
It took a long time for Wicked to finally come to Utah.
When it was announced in Denver we all bought our tickets.
It was such a fun road trip and an amazing show.
Right after we went to Wicked we headed to Redrocks to see Keith Urban.
I couldn't think of a better day!
86. Dino Love
This is what happens when 3 girls take a road trip to Denver.
You get Dino love and very random pictures.
87. I love me some country.
Especially music and my boots!
88. My best friends wedding.
89. Meeting Fred Savage from the Wonder Years.
Most random run in I've had to date at Applebee's.
90. I use to watch Gabe one a week when he was a little baby.
Most days Natalie and Matt would return home to their son having different hair styles, painted nails and new outfits.
Oh what fun you can have when you are an Aunt!
91. Seeing Movin' Out!
Awesome show!
92. Snugglin' with my Grac and Linds
I love both of these ladies and they both snuggle pretty good!
93. Have I mentioned that I love Keith Urban?
Well, apparently another Morgan does too.
Because I did not write this and found it on the trailer while walking the streets of Denver.
94. The Denver "Water Zoo" as Ashley refers to it as.
This place was amazing.
We had more fun here.
I highly recommend the "Water Zoo" in Denver.
95. For those of you who know my dad, know that his name is Earl.
Or Big Earl as we like to call him.
It's not everyday you run into a restaurant named, Earls.
96. This kiddos are too cute and have grown up WAY to much
WAY TO FAST.
I love them more than they will ever know.
97. This picture illustrates how all of Julie's kiddos have disliked me when they were a baby.
I still look at Christiana and I get the death look.
Maybe 2011 is our year!
98. A summer of fun times.
This is one of the best summers ever.
I had the best set of friends.
Did the fun things summer involves.
Can't wait for summer to finally be here.
99. This picture makes me laugh.
Erin and I wanted to take a picture while "three is company" was playing pool.
We set up our timer and told Richael to smile.
For some reason Erin and I both thought we needed to get really low.
Apparently, we were wrong.
100. An afternoon at the Dinosaur Park with my cute boys.
Being an Auntie you get to do fun stuff like this.
One Saturday, I picked up the boys and we headed to the Dino Park.
They are so good to their Aunt Mo and I love getting to spend time with them.
