Our Day is Full

Our day was full ~ we started the morning with a family date at IHOP and then ran errands until we could go no more.  After lunch, it was a nap for Cooper, playing for Reagan, grocery shopping for me and mowing for Greg.  More playing and riding bikes for Reagan and Cooper, then haircuts for the boys.  And finally, we went to the Big BAM Birthday Bash for September and October birthdays (and, it didn't hurt that the TN football game was on too!).

Saturday with the Sandidges

We had a busy Saturday afternoon...



Greg & Cooper mowed the grass

 Reagan and Cooper played in the sandbox

 We went shopping for a new bicycle for Reagan, but Cooper found a little something for himself

 Reagan thought that it looked like fun

 Cooper was the second customer of the Salon de Sandidge

 Greg and I had another date night while Cooper and Reagan went to Parents' Night Out at their gymnastics facility.  We went to dinner, grocery shopping and then surprised Reagan with a brand new bicycle when she got home. When she walked through the door she excitedly exclaimed, "Who's bike is this?  How did it get here?  Who bought it?"  She ran to both me and Greg and gave us hugs and kisses and kept saying "thank you, thank you"

 Cooper had to test it out too!

Trip to the Bookstore

Reagan and Cooper made their first trip to the bookstore today.  Reagan had received a gift card for her birthday and finally decided she was ready to spend it!

Mall Fun

After gymnastics class today, we ran a few errands and took the kids to the mall to eat lunch and have a little fun.  Reagan chose to jump on the trampoline and Cooper chose the carousel.

ROAR!!

Cooper appears to be giving me the bird, but for those of us who know and love him, that's just how he points!

Cooper had all the fun he could take

Reagan still lookes sweet as ever!
