Swinging on the high bar ~ still wouldn't drop into the pit

I am so proud of Reagan! She enjoys her gymnastics class so much and I love watching her blossom!

Rainy Days

It was a rainy day today ~ just another reason to show cute pictures of the kids!!

He loves to look at himself in the camera preview

Not sure where the goofy grin is coming from these days

Play Time

We celebrated having the day off today by playing outside. We were so thankful that Ms Deb was able to spend a couple of hours with us on her day off too!

Cooper hadn't mowed the road in quite a while

He picked up right where he left offShowing me the airplane overhead Ms Deb brought her bike to ride around the neighborhood with Reagan They thought stirring the puddle with a stick was so much fun

Then, Cooper discovered he could make a big splash!On to moving dirt

Racing cars in the sand More splashes!

More time in the sand

Thanks for coming to play Ms Deb. We always enjoy spending time with you!

Let the Crafting Begin

Today Reagan, Cooper & I had the day off from school and work. So, we took full advantage of the day.

Reagan's day started like this

She slept in until 7:30amWe couldn't let a day pass without crafts! Reagan got these wooden dolls from Gigi & Bubba for ChristmasShe made sure to color them just like the packaging So proud of her work ~ didn't she do a great job? After lunch, project #2 began She (and I) made sun catchers She can't wait for them to finish bakingThese will look so pretty hanging in her window

How'd That Happen?

How did we go from this...

...to this?

Yes, he is asleep ~ these pictures were taken in the dark!

We moved Cooper to a big bed this weekend ~ no more crib! He did really well last night, unless you count the fact that he was sleeping with 1 arm, 1 leg and 1/2 his head hanging off the bed ~ but we caught him just in time and put pillows at the edge of the bed (I really wanted to take a picture of that, but I was afraid the flash would startle him and he would roll off the bed). So, today we went back and bought another rail for the end of the bed. Hopefully, that will keep him contained!

Where does the time go?

Tea for Two

New Suit, New Moves

Reagan's gymnastics class was this morning. She had another new leotard to wear and they did some new exercises and events they had never done before.

Showing off her new leotard

Today's theme at gymnastics was "snowman"
They picked foam blocks out of the pit and built as many snowmen as they could Each snowman had to have a black top for the hat Reagan was a very fast snowman maker ~ she carried 2 & 3 blocks at a time!

Making sure each one was built just "perfect"

Then, they had a snowball fight with the foam blocks!

Patiently waiting for her turn on the barsGetting instructions from the teacher

Swinging like a monkey

Time to switch apparatus!

Reagan's 1st time to walk on the high balance beam

Reagan also swung on the pit rope swing for the 1st time today ~ although she wouldn't drop into the pit!

Here she is walking on the balance beam!
