I Missed It!

I missed Reagan's Easter party at school today. I had a doctor's appointment to get some moles removed, and of course the doctor was running late. Normally, in my line of work, that would not bother me...but today I had somewhere I needed to be (and a little girl who I promised I would be there). I got to the school just as the party was ending.

Reagan's sad face ~ she told me not to worry about it, she would have another party at school

Father and Son

Look how happy Cooper is to be sitting beside his daddy!!!

I love these 2 boys!

15 month Check Up

A little late with the 15 month check up...but at least we got it done! Cooper weighs in at 26.8 lbs ~ up 1/2 pound since last week!! Cooper was such a brave boy getting his shots. He didn't cry with the 1st stick, and only a whimper after the 2nd shot!

All smiles before the shots! Reagan likes playing in the waiting room too!

Feeding Dr. G's dinosaur Going for a ride on the dinosaur ~ after the shots, Cooper wasn't interested in playing with the dinosaur

School Pictures

Here are pictures of the school pictures Reagan and Cooper had made a couple of weeks ago. They were all so good, we're going to have a difficult time choosing which ones to buy!

Mommy's princess

Mommy's little man Great smiles for both of them

Reagan was laughing so hard!

Our precious girl

Sweet sister and brother

Orders are due by April 16th ~ if you have a favorite, let me know!

Play Time

Sunday afternoon, we all got outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather of the weekend (because next week, they're calling for temps about 25 degrees cooler).

Having a snack outside Daddy and his shadow

Daddy and his little helper

He can rake with one hand and use a shovel with the other!!

Watching the neighbor's dog

Reagan had enough of the outdoors and wanted to come help me cook spaghetti

After dinner we went on a wagon walk around the neighborhood. (not the most flattering picture of me, but I wanted to prove that the kids do have a mom!)

Strawberry Banana Shortcake

This entire weekend, Reagan has been asking to make a strawberry banana shortcake. Not sure where she came up with the idea, but that's all she has wanted to make all weekend. Yesterday while we were grocery shopping we bought a pound cake mix, strawberries, bananas and Cool Whip. Today was her lucky day ~ let the baking begin.

As always, hand washing is a must

Showing me that the recipe calls for 2 eggs Pouring in the milk

Mixing the batter

Getting ready for her favorite part...quality control

mmm, mmm good

The finished product ~ pretty good if we do say so ourselves!

I was lamenting the fact that Reagan is growing up way to quickly and here is the conversation that followed:

Reagan: Let's measure how tall I am (she likes to stand beside me to see how tall she is compared to me)

Mom: You're getting way too tall

Reagan: Are you happy?

Mom: No, I'm sad that you're growing up

Reagan: Don't be sad, be happy. Let me grow, don't worry about me

Sunday Sweeties

Just a couple of pictures of Reagan and Cooper after church on Sunday.

My precious big girl

Blowing kisses as he walks

After church Reagan, Greg and I had a cute conversation:

Mom & Dad: what did you learn about in your class today?

Reagan: I can't remember

Mom & Dad: Did you learn something about palms?

Reagan: No, leaves

Mom & Dad: What did you learn about leaves

Reagan: The people put them on the ground

Mom & Dad: Why did they put them on the ground ~ who was going to walk on them?

Reagan: Jesus. And we say, "Hosanna, Hosanna, yeah Jesus!"

Saturday of Shopping

Sadly, there was no daddy/daughter date today. I had a hair appointment that was not to be missed!! I cooked breakfast at home and then went to enjoy a couple of hours at the salon. After naps (well, Cooper napped at least) we went on a little shopping adventure.

So excited to be shopping (actually he lost sight of his daddy and he was not happy)

Reagan's turn in the buggyThe moment she's been waiting for...buying her princess party supplies

Can't decide what all she should buy

3 weeks and counting!!

Daddy and Cooper trying to find something in the party store

Camouflage ~ about as far away from princesses as you can get!

Ending the day on a high note

Can we go party now?

Up, Up and Away

Another windy day, another great day to fly a kite!

Reagan got a new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kite

Cooper took over flying the Tigger and Pooh kite

Look how high my kite is!

Cooper had enough of kite flying and decided to go for a walk

After kite flying, we went for a wagon ride around the neighborhood

Her Bath

Another chance for bath time photos!

Showing me her boo-boo is all gone

Reagan has discovered "reading" while going to the potty. Listen to what she reads!!!!

His Bath

We haven't had bath shots in awhile and tonight was the perfect opportunity!

Such a silly boy!

I just knew he was going to hit his head and break another tooth!
