Saturday at the Park

We had beautiful weather (72 degrees) here on Saturday, so we decided it would be the perfect day to go to the park and expend some energy!!!

They're all running toward the slides

"What should we do 1st?"
Cooper loved the slide

Whee!

He thought he'd try to slide by himself

Reagan's favorite is the swings ~ she likes to go "higher, higher"

Cooper enjoyed them too

Reagan's turn to slide

Nice Hair!!

Of course, no trip to the park would be complete without a snack break

More fun on the slide

Climbing up to the top

Valentine's Gifts

Mamaw and Papaw Carpenter sent Reagan and Cooper a Valentine's Day package today and they couldn't wait to open them.

Reagan was so excited her bag was purple ~ her favorite color

More stamps!! Sleeping socks with hearts on them

A heart shaped stamp for her collection

Thank You!!


Now it's Cooper's turn to open gifts

A puppy

New shirts

I think I'll wear this one tomorrow

Woof, Woof

Christmas in February

Carolyn is a sweet lady that works with my mom who is so thoughtful to send Reagan and Cooper gifts for Christmas. They just got to open them today because of our timing of being home around the holidays.

Reagan loved the Mickey Mouse wrapping paper

She couldn't wait to rip of the paperReagan got a Cabbage Patch Doll named Tatum

Cooper received a dump truck

I know how this works

Thank you Ms Carolyn

Reagan played with Tatum all evening

She carried her around everywhere

Tatum even joined us at the dinner table

Reagan says it best...

Pitiful

This is how Cooper spent most of the day on Friday ~ sleeping. I was called to come get him from school both Thursday and Friday. Looks like he needed some additional snooze time. He's still not eating well, but his thirst hasn't diminished!

The Wait

Every evening, Cooper and Reagan wait anxiously by the window for Greg to come home. They love to hear the garage door open and run to the window to see who it is!

Waiting on daddy

Who will see him first?

Patiently waiting

And then, the wait is over!

How sweet is that? Don't you wish you had someone so excited to see you when you got home every day?

I Know, I Know

How many pictures can I possibly have of them in the bathtub? Hundreds and hundreds...they're just so cute, I can't stop myself!!

Double duty - brushing teeth and taking a bath

You can just hear him saying, "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah" He loves to stack and re-stack

Model-esque

Reagan had homework last night - do something artistic, so she chose to do a stamp collection

Next, she decided to practice writing her name

And then she wanted to practice drawing shapes

Another new favorite ~ climbing stairs. He's on his way to bed!

What...

...is so great about this purse? Can I have one of my own?

I've got to find out what's in here...

Such a cute boy...even with a purse!

Sunny Sunday

Reagan and Cooper love, love, love to play outside ~ they would go outside in 10 degree weather if we would let them! Today was a beautiful sunny day - almost 60degrees, so we spent a little family time outside today.

Playing soccer

Time Out for some milk
Not sure whether to use his hands or his feet...he'll just use his whole body

a ball more his size

Time to slide

Having fun on the slide ~ actually sharing and taking turns!

Can you say static electricity?

Everything is a new adventure for him

More milk and soccer

So good to see them playing together

That's a big load!

Cooper thought this was so fun ~ he laughed and giggled the entire time. Reagan also got pushed around by mommy and daddy, but I had put my camera down, so no photos of her

Another Saturday Date

Greg and Reagan had their weekly daddy/daughter date Saturday. They went to a local diner and Greg said Reagan was a big girl and ordered her own breakfast ~ 3 pancakes and orange juice!

All ready to go

While Reagan and daddy were on their date, Cooper and I spent our time reading some books
Another new favorite thing...climbing onto and off of the couch all by himself
