Playland

Greg and Reagan had their last All-Pro Dad meeting of the school year this morning, so Cooper and I took the opportunity to have another mom/son breakfast date!  We had pancakes at Old McDonald's...again

yummy!

 this McDonald's has just been demolished and rebuilt with a brand new playland.  It's Cooper's favorite!

 one more slide before school!

What a great way to start the weekend!

Reagan's 9th Birthday

Can't believe she's already 9 years old.  Seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital!  Here's a look into Reagan's day...

we started off the morning by singing "Happy Birthday"

she requested a biscuit from Bojangle's

 a little window art for the occasion

 Cooper wanted his picture made too (with a Pokemon card)

 Sweet 9 year old!

 Reagan chose the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday dinner

 we were all there to celebrate

 the best part...cheesecake

 the staff sang to her

 she chose Dulce de Leche Cheesecake

 she enjoyed it very much

 after dinner, she had a gift waiting for her in the mail

 a necklace from Mamaw & Papaw

 and a handmade scarf from Keira

Happy Birthday, Reagan!  We love you with all our hearts!

Saturday Morning Sports

The kids woke up bright and early Saturday morning to get the day started!

Cinnamon rolls for breakfast

 Cooper serenaded Reagan with "Happy Birthday to You"

 Reagan had ice skating practice this morning 

 They thought it was so funny that they had the same toboggan!

  

 While the girls were at skating practice, the boys went to Cooper's soccer game

 

First Day of First Grade

The first day of school is finally here!

Reagan began the morning with special pancakes in honor of beginning 1st grade

she LOVED them!

Reagan told me that I needed special pancakes for going to work, so she suggested...

Look at my big girl ~ the 1st grader

we had a mini photo session before leaving for school

Reagan wanted her picture made in front of some flowers ~ not just bushes, so we had to go to the neighbor's yard for those photos!

isn't she beautiful?

 I convinced her to take a few photos in front of our house too!

they are so sweet!

Imagine our surprise when she got home from school today, our flower beds had been completely redone!  Reagan had to have a picture in front of "our very own flower garden"

First Day of FIRST GRADE!

here are few pictures of our new flower beds

A few quotes from the day:

• on the way to school, Reagan said,"I feel a little weird (nervous) in my belly"
•  when telling me about her day, Reagan said "1st grade is AWESOME!"; "1st graders know how to listen very well"; "I had THE BEST DAY"; "I hugged Ms A (her kindergarten teacher)two times today ~ it was pretty neat"
• Reagan got to be the line leader all day today.  When I asked  her why she was the line leader she said, "It was my lucky day!"
