Sick Day

Wednesday, a classmate of Reagan's got sent home from school with strep throat. Last night Reagan was running a little bit of a fever and she has been coughing for the past couple of days, so we gave her some cough syrup from the doctor's office. It didn't turn out so well!! As you can see from the pictures, Reagan is allergic to the active ingredient in most cough syrups.

You know Reagan is sick when she would rather take a nap than eat supper or a snack. She stayed on the couch most of the evening and, true to her high maintenance self, milked it for all it was worth. And of course, Greg and I gave in to whatever she wanted!!
The usually happy bath taking Reagan wasn't even having fun in the water!!
We took her to the doctor this morning and he thinks she just has a virus. They did do a strep test to rule that out. Reagan was very brave and let them swab the back of her throat.

Green Beans

We tried Cooper on green beans this week because he hasn't been wanting to eat any of his rice cereal. The first couple of bites went pretty well - he's smiling as usual.

This is the face after five or so bites. He's not that into it and kept pushing the spoon away. We'll try again later!

So Much Drama

As I've said before, Cooper is becoming the master of the pucker face. Greg can make silly noises and Cooper will pucker up...never crying, just the saddest little face you'll ever see.

Sunday Sermon

Reagan is thoroughly enjoying her new class at church. As with anything, it took her a couple of times to warm up to the new teachers, but they've all told me how much fun she seems to be having and she's even participating!! Today, after her class I asked her what she learned about, she said, "God made me big." I asked if she had a good time in class and she said that she got to sing, dance, clap her hands and eat a snack (which I'm sure was her favorite part!).

All About Reagan

My favorite thing to do is jump on the bed

My favorite place to go is jump

My very favorite food is pizza

When I am big, I want to choo choo train

I am special because I laugh a lot

What sweet thoughts!!

After nap time, Greg went to the grocery store and Reagan loves to help by carrying the groceries in the house.

(Notice the high heels!)

Where's Cooper?

Greg got Cooper ready for church this morning...can you tell? He said this was a manly outfit, and everyone needs cammo in their wardrobe! Hey, as long as he's helping get him ready, he can wear cammo!!

Let's be honest, he's a cutie no matter what he's wearing!!
Check out the next two pictures, Cooper has become the drama king!! He's gotten really good at the "pucker face" that Reagan made famous.

Dancing Queen

Reagan was having a great time entertaining Cooper on Saturday - she danced for almost an hour for him and he just loved it. Check out some of her moves!! (Of course when the video camera turns on, she's not as expressive as normal)

Then Cooper (well, actually Greg) decided it would be fun to chase after Reagan. For some reason she is so scared of Cooper and Greg when they do this.

Play Ball

Just a quick video of Cooper playing ball with daddy. Hopefully, there's a college scholarship in his future (way, way, way distant future!)

Toofer Thursday

Cooper's 2nd tooth finally decided to make an appearance. It actually popped through on Sunday, but today has been the first chance I've had to get a good picture of it!!

Who Are You?

Reagan is learning all about herself at school. Take a listen for yourself!

Happy Birthday, Again? Still?

How many birthdays does one girl get??? Reagan got a check in the mail from mamaw and papaw Carpenter to buy her another outfit for her birthday (because she didn't like the outfit they gave her at her birthday party - she said it looked like a dress, and even as girly as she is, Reagan doesn't wear dresses!) So, we went shopping and bought these 2 bathing suits!

Reagan modeling her new bathing suit - look at the pudgey belly!

Still modeling her bathing suit, but the tag is killing her!

Reagan then decided to show us how she would walk down the runway in her other new bathing suit!

Happy Mother's Day

What sweet gifts I received from Reagan and Cooper for Mother's Day. Their school is great and comes up with different ideas every year.

Each child dressed up in a bonnet with a boquet of flowers (the boys had on top hats and bow ties) and they printed the pictures in an antique finish. Of course, Reagan was the prettiest of them all! Reagan also painted a vase and filled it with flowers for me. They let the kids choose what color they wanted to paint the vase and Reagan chose orange (could she be a Vol fan already?)
Here's the card Cooper made in his class
And the inside of the card with his handprint. How sweet is that? (It's my first copy of his handprint)
In case you can't read the card, it says:

This little flower is special you see

Because it was made from a part of me!

To show you I love you with all my heart!

Love, Cooper

Here's a picture of me, Reagan and Cooper before going to church today. (At least they look cute, today was my day to work in the nursery)

Freedom!!

Cooper loves to be naked! He just giggled and rolled around the floor all afternoon! Here are some cute snapshots of him enjoying his freedom.
