The Good Life

Reagan and Cooper have it made ~ look how I found them after school this afternoon...watching cartoons, rocking in their chairs Papaw Carl made them.  All they needed was a snack and it would be the "perfect end to the day"!

Rockin' It

The rocking chairs handmade by Papaw Carl (my dad's dad) are a favorite of Reagan and Cooper's. The love to see who can rock the fastest and the highest. Tonight was no exception.

Cooper would rather smile at the camera than race Reagan

Cooper still smiling ~ Reagan still trying to be the fastest rocker I won!

The rocking (and smiling) continued as it was time to put Cooper to bed

Reagan serenaded Cooper with "Rock a bye Baby" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

Fabulous Friday

We had a busy Friday ~ starting with a doctor appointment for Greg (more on that in another post), then back to work for Tara, ice cream day for Reagan and Cooper, and finally dinner out as a family.

Some people want their name in lights, Reagan wants hers in pancakes! Waiting in line for the ice cream man

Have money, will eat ice cream Trying to pay Ms Vicki for the ice cream

No, Ms Vicki made Reagan pay the ice cream man herself

Reagan chose a Spider man treat ~ she'd been looking forward to this all week

Yummy!

Reagan wanted to wear this particular dress because it had "spiderwebs" on it

Worth the wait

Daddy trying to get a bite of Reagan's ice cream

So good!

Cooper enjoyed his bomb pop ice cream too!

Big bite!

They both came home sticky and stained from their Popsicles, but they loved them. Thanks to the teachers at the school who not only take care of my 2, but dozens of other messy eaters just like them! We truly appreciate you allowing our kids to have a fun disruption to their day.

After school on the couch watching cartoons...together...wtihout fighting

We headed to Cracker Barrel for a family dinner. This is a rare treat because Greg usually doesn't get home until 6:30 or 7pm every night.

Cooper cheesing for the camera ~ he flirted with everyone at the restaurant

Reagan enjoying her cornbread

No trip to Cracker Barrel is complete unless you rock in the rocking chairs

Cooper likes to rock too

My two boys

So Sweet

Last night before bed, Reagan said she wanted to rock Cooper. She sang 3 songs to him ~ Rockabye Baby, Twinkle Twinkle and Jingle Bells. Not really sure how Jingle Bells fits, but it was so sweet. She is such a good big sister!

Family Fun

Just some cute photos of the fun Reagan and Cooper had playing together tonight.

Rocking together

I love how Cooper is looking at her in this picture
Waiting on daddy

Still waiting

Playing peek a boo

Showing off his new hat in his new rocking chair

Reagan wanted to try out the hat and the rocking chair too

Cooper

Cooper received a few presents at Reagan's party.

His great-grandfather made him this rocking chair, so he won't have to fight with Reagan over hers

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

We had a great Sunday ~ we went to church (nice to be back after a weekend of sickness last weekend), ate lunch, played, napped, baked, and cooked. Reagan even called one of my coworkers, Crystal, to wish her a happy birthday!

Reagan wanted to show off her new ponytail from mamaw and papaw

Cooper looks just like his daddy in this button down shirt

Relaxing and watching cartoons

Cooper needs papaw Carl to make him a rocking chair of his own (hint, hint!)

Big laughs

Princess for a day (a lifetime really, but we'll go one day at a time!)

Tub Time

Bath nights are always fun at our house. Cooper and Reagan both love to play in the water ~ and fight over tub toys!!!

He is so full of himself!

Reagan loves to put the toys to night-night with washcloths as their blankets
Payback for all those times she's hit him!

Such a sweet girl!

Testing out his new climbing skills

Almost got it

After bath, it's time to rock!

Playing puzzles with daddy
