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)

Beautiful

As part of her spelling work each week, Reagan has to define the words, show pronunciation, draw a picture and write two sentences for each word.  One of her words last week was beautiful.

Her 2nd sentence says:

"My daddy thinks I am beautiful in everything"

...her mommy does too!

Bible Lesson

We asked Reagan what she learned at church this week...

Last Time

After almost 5 years of taking gymnastics, Reagan has decided to call it quits.  She decided in early February that she wanted to stop, but she finished out the month strong!  So here are a few pictures of her last gymnastics class.  Hopefully, this will only be a little "break"!

Just A Swingin'

Today was a B.E.A.U-TIFUL day.  We spent the afternoon playing outside ~ swinging on the playset and swinging ball bats.  The Sandidges are ready for spring and summer!
