He put everything except Donald back in his box!

Opening the box ~ can't wait to see what's inside!

Jelly Beans ~ she discovered a love for jelly beans at school this week! Trying to open the jelly beans so she can eat them now!

She would have been satisfied if jelly beans were the only thing in her box

Kleenex ~ something else for her purse

A purple bracelet

Ponytail holders

Picking Up Cooper

Since I had my camera at school, I thought I would get a few pictures of Cooper playing with his friends. When he saw me and Reagan, he was ready to go home!

Driving his car

So cute!
Once we got home, Cooper took a little time to read the Good Book

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

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!

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!

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).

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
