How Stimulating is This?

We've been stimulated, how about you? We hope to use our money to take a vacation at the end of the summer. Hopefully, Cooper will be able to sit up and crawl by then and Reagan will be even more independent~if that's even possible!

Curious Cricket

Today was Reagan's 1st day in her new class, Curious Crickets. Many tears were shed this morning (by Reagan, mom and Ms. Lisa ~ Reagan's teacher last year, umm last week) but by the time I picked Reagan up this afternoon, Ms. Gomery said she had a great day. She even took a nap!!! Hopefully the rest of the week will go just as smooth. We did have a few outbursts this afternoon, but I believe that's due to all the changes going on in her life this week - new class, new teacher, dad's gone all week.

I know I'm biased, but isn't she the most beautiful girl in the world?

Woo-Hoo!!!

Today, Greg starts his new job with Insurance Auto Auctions. It's been an interesting 18 months since he left Enterprise! God has taught us plenty ~ most of all patience and all that we really need is Him and our family. We are so thankful to be beginning this new chapter in our lives and are excited to see what happens next!

Got Binoculars?

In an effort to do a little spring cleaning, Greg and I got rid of the massive structure in our living room that was the TV and entertainment center. We moved the TV from the bonus room downstairs and, can I just say, I love it. Although the new TV is about 1/3 the size, it is sooo nice not to have the monster in the living room any longer. However, when you come to visit, you may need to bring your binoculars for the TV!
Cute story from Reagan...when she got home from school she asked what happened to the TV. She started watching cartoons on the couch and after a minute or two, moved onto the floor about 2 feet away from this TV. I guess her eyes hadn't had time to adjust yet!

Cutie Pie Cooper

Just some random photos of the day!

Too cool already!

Ahh, I love bath time...relaxation
What, am I the only one who likes to kick back and prop his feet up?

What a Welcome!

Since I already had my camera at school to document Reagan's last day as a Ladybug, I decided to take the camera into Cooper's room.

Isn't this the best welcome in the world?

He got the biggest grin on his face when I walked in the door. Reason 385,429,846 why I love him so!

Last Day as a Ladybug

Friday was Reagan's last day in the Ladybug Class at school. They celebrated their growing up by having a picnic and Popsicle party! Reagan was so excited for her picnic ~ that's ALL she talked about all week (and a little bribery from mom: "if you don't nap, you can't have a picnic on Friday" - bad parenting, I know, but naps are crucial to our evenings going well!). Reagan asked me to pack her a great lunch ~ a peanut butter sandwich, chips, cheese, crackers, juice in a green cup with a purple straw and blue tape with her name on it (she's very specific with her instructions) and a banya (banana in Reaganese). I'm really going to miss Reagan being in this class, I love her teachers and they really love her. She has grown so much this year and I'm sure I'll be typing the same thing this time next year when she's leaving the Curious Cricket class!

Here are a few pictures from Reagan's picnic

Having fun in class

New Toys

Reagan and Cooper both got new toys this week.

Reagan got a horn for her tricycle

After riding her tricycle for a while, she went back to the old standard ~ sidewalk chalk!

Cooper got a Rainforest Jumparoo

Just look at the smile!

Sit Up Straight

Cooper hasn't mastered sitting up yet, but he's well on his way!

Just look what a happy baby he is - even with his sister's hat and glasses on!!
For a cute kid quote of the day:

Greg: Reagan, do you hold hands with Sean at school?

Reagan: No

Greg: Is Sean your boyfriend?

Reagan: No, only Daddy and Cooper

Everybody: Awww!!

Tattoos

Reagan got some "George the Monkey" aka Curious George tattoos for her birthday. She wasn't too excited about getting another picture made, but she gave it her best half effort! By the end of the day, you could barely see her arms and legs for all the tattoos.

Sunday Smiles

All ready to go to Jesus' House!

Reagan's giving her best cheesey smile and Cooper's not sure what to think about the hat on his head.

Reagan loves her baby Cooper, although she loves a little too hard at times!
Reagan's best picture of the morning
What a great full-face smile!

Pool's Open

The temperature reached 92 degrees on Saturday, so we decided it would be a great day to go for a swim.

Reagan helped fill up the pool. Hands on hips, smiles on lips!

She just can't wait to get in!

Go for it!!

After getting wet, Reagan decided she would rather swim in her birthday suit than her bathing suit. She's probably a little too old for this, but we were in the backyard and no one else was outside. In another naked (which I couldn't post because...well you know why) video, she tells Cooper many times to take off his clothes and come swimming too!

Is she a perfect 10 or what?

She stayed in the pool, albeit naked, for over an hour
The water was a little too cold for Cooper, so he just watched and played from the sidelines!
