Cotton Candy

Last night, Ms Deb & Ms Kim came over to love on Reagan and Cooper...and they brought with them a special surprise for them. Cotton Candy ~ neither Reagan nor Cooper had ever tasted cotton candy before. At first, they were a little unsure of the texture, but it didn't take long before they were digging in with both hands!

Thanks to Ms Deb & Ms Kim for taking the kids on a walk around the neighborhood while Greg and I enjoyed a dinner...together...alone! It also helped to walk off some of the sugar they had just ingested!.

Thanks for loving our kids as much as you do!

Hey Mikey ~ he likes it!

Reagan doesn't won't Cooper to have all the funmmm

Delicious ~ I'm sure he'd love to have this more often

Countdown

Exactly 1 month from today ~ Reagan will be 5 years old. She is so excited, she can't hardly stand it. She tells me everyday that she will be 5 in 1 month. Though tonight, she broke down in tears and said that it was "taking too long to get to be 5" and she "wants to be 5 now!"

Me...I'm not ready for her to be an "official" big girl. I can't believe she will start kindergarten in August. I asked her if she just wanted to stay 4 and be my little girl forever ~ but, she said, "no, I'm already big and I need to be 5 so I can ride the school bus to my big school".

Where does the time go?

Have you ever seen a cuter girl on her 1st birthday?

Happy 5th birthday to Reagan & Cooper's cousin Keira!!!

1st Day of Spring

The first day of spring proved to be a beautiful one ~ with temperatures near 78 degrees!! After dinner, we went for a family walk around the neighborhood.

Reagan wants to go "this way"!

Cooper couldn't wait to "mow" again this season ~ it's been a long winter!getting ready to run

Not happy about having her picture made!

Here Comes the Sun

I got off work a little early today and planned to come home and clean up the house. But when I got home, I began to feel a little guilty that the weather was so nice (75 degrees) and Reagan and Cooper were still at school. So, less than 5 minutes into my cleaning...I went and picked them up from school so we could play outside together!

Sand & Water table (minus the water for now!)

"Listen!"

Playing a game of basketball

Megan is 20!

and now, messages from Reagan and Cooper...

Cooper's Turn

sweet baby, no ~ big boy pushing the dump truck he would run from one side of the room to the other, and when he would pass me he would stop and say "cheese" wanting his picture to be taken! what have I created? "cheese"
