A Day at the Gym

Reagan had her gymnastics class this morning ~ and she had a brand new leotard to wear.

so proud of her new leotard

going down the slide

ready to do a front support on the bar

running on the trampoline jumping with her friends at the end of every class, each child gets a stamp

Whose Child Is This?

Once again in a cartoon coma...why does Reagan remind me of Al Bundy in these pictures?

Fat Mamma

Reagan's homework was to draw a picture of her entire family. As she was drawing her picture she said, "you're fat mommy!" and just began to laugh. When I looked at her drawing, she made me really fat! Guess that's all the hint I need to start exercising!

Daddy, Fat Mommy, Reagan & Cooper

She usually calls Cooper small, Reagan is medium, Mommy is large and Daddy is extra large. I think I would rather be large (knowing the context) than just plain fat.

My girl does love her art ~ here are some pictures of her working on her Valentine's day cards a month early!!

Going to the Dogs

Reagan received a Barbie vet kit ~ complete with puppy ~ for Christmas...but I'm not sure who plays with it more, her or Cooper. Tonight was Cooper's night to take care of the puppy.

Checking the puppy's heartbeat

Taking the puppy's temperature with an ear thermometer

"Is there anything else I can check?" The puppy checked out OK

A Girl Named Johnny...

...Cash that is! Reagan picks out her own clothes for school every evening for the next day. Last night she chose an all black ensemble! I think she's cute no matter what she wears!!

Treasure Hunt

Today at school, Reagan made a treasure map ~ when daddy go home...the hunt was on!!

Reading the map to daddy

Daddy had his sword to fight the animals in the cave

Reagan's leading the way They had a map, sword, flashlight, magnifying glass and backpack ~ they were prepared! "Let's go dad"
