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!

Happy 20th birthday to my niece, Megan. It seems like yesterday I was a junior in high school practicing for the Junior Miss pagent when Kim went into labor!! Happy Birthday ~ we all love you!
and now, messages from Reagan and Cooper...

Cooper's Turn

Cooper, just being Cooper!

swinging his sword

he also used the sword like the vacuum cleaner attachment back to wielding his sword

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"

he's such a happy boy and has so much energy!

Luck of the Irish

Reagan has been wanting to make cupcakes for a couple of weeks now, and today was her lucky day!!

It's A Jungle Out There

This week's theme at gymnastics was "jungle week". All of the exercises/activities had to do with some type of animal. Reagan had a great time as usual, but this week was even more exciting as she had a friend from school join her at gymnastics!
