Day Dreamer

To my knowledge Reagan has never fallen asleep in her highchair until today!  After a fun-filled week with grandparents, great-grandparents, and Auntie Leah this was her lunch the next day.  Notice...she still has a grip on her bowl and her spoon!  If this girls falls asleep during a meal, she MUST be tired!

Puddles and Rainboots!

The rain in west Texas has been a fun change for Reagan!  After a long week of rain everyday Reagan and Daddy decided it was time to get outside and play a while before the rain came again.  They started off on the four wheeler, got stuck (temporarily) in the mud, and then decided to come back and test out these rain boots.  

Reagan started off a little timid of the big puddles, but have no fear...it didn't take long!

If Daddy can do it and Tank can do it...

 Then so can I!!!

 Needless to say, her boots were FULL of water when the playing was over!  But, what's wrong with 2 little wet feet when they're having so much fun?!

FINALLY!

Being on maternity leave has made me smarter and my internet connection faster!  I have finally updated the blog up through mother's day and even back tracked to where I left off in February.  So, now that I've figured everything out and my internet seems to be loading pictures faster...maybe, just maybe, I can update on a regular basis!

Our week with Granny and Opa

After Adam was born Granny and Opa stayed for a week to help everyone, especially Mommy, get adjusted to life with 2 babies.   It was really great to have all of the help with diapering, bathing, feeding, cooking, laundry, and cleaning.  Makes me think...how in the heck am I crazy enough to think I can do this on my own?!  It will, however, work out!  God has plans right?! He never said this would be easy, but it's definitely a new kind of fun!  Here are a few highlights from Adam's 1st week home!

Reagan's new favorite pair of shoes, thank you Kari!  She wore these rain boots (with her shorts) everytime she went outside.  This was her 4-wheeler riding outfit.  She became a big fan of the pre-nap ride on the 4-wheeler with Daddy or Opa.

Yep...she's stuck!  She somehow managed to get under the barstool and we couldn't get her out without lifting the barstool.  We thought it was funny, Reagan...not so much!

Funny little man...funny little face...funny little hat.

No, she's not crying.  Her allergies were so BAD this week that her eyes were just watering streams of tears!

Our little helper bee!  She really wanted Adam to take his pacifier, but he really didn't care about it!

Here...turn your head like this!

This is hard work, but I love my new baby brother!

I give up!  Thanks for the new paci!

It was a fun week full of memories and millions of pictures!  I only posted a few because I'm pretty sure most of you don't want to see my babies move a 1/4 of an inch!

Acts of Nature

That's what Geico calls the golf ball size hail that hit our house the other day!  The kids had just gone to bed when we sat down to eat dinner with Granny and Opa.  All of a sudden, the sky got dark and golf balls started bouncing off of the ground, the roof, the kitchen windows, and (as we found out shortly after it stopped) our cars.  We picked up a few of the hail pieces that were on the patio.

 The BIG ones that were close to baseball size were still out in our yard where we dare not run!  After the storm passed we went outside to assess the damage.  My dad's truck (on which he had made NO payments) got the worst of the damage.  No estimate back on it yet.  My little Xterra had a little over $2100 worth if damage.  Not quite totaled!  The truck had $1500 worth.  And our camper had a few holes knocked in the roof and some lights and speakers busted out, but we haven't gotten an estimated on it either!  So...that was a rather expensive "Act of Nature."  It did, however, make for a thrilling 15 minutes during the storm!

I scream...you scream...

We all scream for ice cream!  Reagan got to experience her FIRST ice cream cone!  After our nutritious meal at Jason's Deli we all opted to ruin it with an ice cream cone!  Reagan wasn't too sure what to do with the ice cream at first, but after carefully watching the master...

We have success!

Now we just have to figure out what to do with this cone thing!  

Eating it from the side doesn't seem to be working!

All the while...Adam is less than thrilled!

 

It was a fun and exciting moment (for Mom & Granny)!

Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was extra fun this year with Reagan and the arrival of Baby Adam.  Today was his actual due date.  Though it would have been a great mother's day gift, I'm sure glad he decided to come a few days early to be around for the celebration.  My Mom and Dad are still here with use since Adam's birth and my mom planned a nice Mother's Day meal.  We invited Aaron's mom and dad and his grandparents.  Here are a few pictures from the day.

Goodnight Mommy & Daddy!

It was a great day to share with all the moms!  I am so thankful to have all of the wonderful women in my life that I have learned from and been influenced by!  Thank you God for our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, etc.
