Ice Cream Friday

Today, the Ice Cream Man and His Van came back to the school for a nice little summer treat for the kids. As was the case last time, all the kids at the school were excited to see him and enjoyed their ice cream treat very much.

A Nice Surprise

Ms. Deb came over to visit with Reagan and Cooper tonight. Reagan jumped, squealed and ran to hug me when I told her Ms. Deb was coming over. She brought a craft with her (she knows how to get to Reagan's heart) and just played with them. They had the best time! When it was time for her to leave, Cooper blew ME kisses and told ME bye-bye, he even turned away from me when I tried to take him from Ms. Deb ~ he wanted to go home with her!

Thanks for coming to play Ms Deb ~ I hope you know how much we all love you!

Our Special Guest

Monday night, we had a special guest come to spend the night with us. Papaw, aka Bubba, made a special delivery at our house before going to do some business in another part of the state. Reagan and Cooper were so surprised and excited when he pulled into the driveway! I thought Cooper was going to jump through the window when he saw him! Thanks for staying with us ~ Reagan and Cooper want you to stay any time...but next time, bring Gigi!

The special delivery...the bed is back in the bonus room. Since our house is no longer on the market, there's no need for the toy room to look "extra large" and no need for our guests to sleep on an air mattress. So now you can come visit and sleep in comfort!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Greg! We had a fun filled Sunday at our house. We celebrated Father's Day by just being together ~ and giving daddy a chance to take an afternoon nap!

A picture before church

Cooper's gift of chocolate that he made at schoolThe note reads: Greatest Dad in the World
Loving, Kind, Gentle, Patient, Understanding,
Caring, Hard Worker, Exceptional, Super.
I think that describes Greg to a "T"
Reagan's card she made at school

Daddy and Reagan like to play basketball

A day wouldn't be complete without Cooper mowing the road!

Reagan is getting so good at riding her bicycle

The road has been mowed, now it must be swept ~ let's just hope he keeps this interest in mowing/sweeping for the next 18 years!

So sweet ~ she picked out the princess T-shirt to match her princess bicycle

Smiling with mommy

Greg wishing Papaw a Happy Father's Day

Cooper wanted to try out Reagan's bicycle

He rides her bike, she mows with his lawn mower!

Inside for a little cheering for daddy

Cooper was "fixing" Greg's feet with his tool set

Jumping for daddy!

Men...doing men things

Cooper had to try out the pom pons too (he also tried on the outfit, but I was forbidden from taking a picture!)
