Garage Gating

Our BAMily got together tonight for a tailgating party in honor of the UT Vols. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate early in the day, so we improvised and had a garage gating party!

100 and 10

Reagan received her first grade of 100 at school this week! She is doing so well at school and we couldn't be more proud of her!

Hopefully, this is the first of many! Her coloring has improved tremendously!

On a side note ~ today is my 10 year anniversary with AZ!!

Friday Free Play

Every Friday at Reagan's after school program, they have "free play Fridays". Last week, the owners were kind enough to let Cooper have some free play too. This week, he couldn't wait to get back and jump in the pit!!

Kids at Play

This afternoon when we got home, the weather was not as hot as it had been for the last few weeks. So we took advantage of it and played outside.

now it's Reagan's turn
Reagan wanted to ride her scooter

Cooper, you guessed it...the lawn mower!

Cooper tried out his scooter for the first time. He wants to do whatever Reagan does!

Leading the way!

On the way to school this morning, Reagan inquired, "How many days are we going to have to do this kindergarten? I thought it was only one, but we just keep going and going."

I asked her if she had fun at kindergarten and she said she did, she just wanted to know how long she was going to have to go!
