My sister sent me this video and I thought you all might like to watch it. I remember when the original aired, and he received an ESPY award for most memorable moment. I tear up every time I watch it!

Morgan turns 2!
Morgan turned the big 2 on Saturday! She was telling everyone "Happy Birthday"! It was so cute! She blew out her candle and played with her balloons. I think she realized that it was her special day when she got a present and Colin didn't. That made her whole day! Even though Colin played with the My little Pony's too! We are having their bday party when my whole family is out here on the 21st! We are so looking forward to that!
