The MWR Tour
Reagan was out of school today for a teacher work day~so Greg and I took the day off from work and kept Cooper home from school so we could have a family day. A friend from church works at Michael Waltrip Racing and invited us down for a behind-the-scenes tour of the shop.
a real race car!
Reagan appeased me and had her picture made by the car
the family and the phantom racer
the haulers
the tires used for pit crew practice
inside the fabrication shop
Mark Martin's car for 2012
speaking of Mark Martin!
Martin Truex's car(s)
having a great time!
Michael Waltrip was in the building too!
we got to watch a commercial shoot
both racers waved and gave the "thumbs up" to Reagan and Cooper
Reagan loved watching the commercial being made
didn't realize how short Mark Martin was!
While we waited for Lewis to take us on the rest of the tour, Reagan sat and posed
finally, we got up close to the cars
What a fun day! Thanks Lewis for letting us come to the shop

Double the Homework
Last week, Cooper was moved into a new class at school ~ he's now with the kids who will be in kindergarten with him (I can't believe I just typed that! In 18 months, my baby boy will be in school.) They are working on learning their letters. This week's letter is "O". And for the first time, he had homework ~ practice writing the letter "O" and color the animals whose name begins with the letter "O".
a boy hard at work
he took his homework very seriously
precious hands
such concentration
the finished work - he wrote the "COO" and I helped with the rest of his name. All the other "Os" on the paper are all his!
He colored the otter, ostrich, and the octopus ~ pink and purple "just for Reagan"
while Cooper worked on his homework, Reagan did some art for Valentine's Day
Sweet Reagan story~
Mom: Reagan, do you know how much I love you?
Reagan: With all your heart! Do you know how much God & Jesus love us?
Mom: How much?
Reagan: More than you'll ever know!

Girl Scout Camp
Schools were closed for the MLK Holiday, so Reagan decided she would like to give the Girl Scout Camp a try. She was so excited about going ~ she was hoping she was going to be able to sell cookies today and be able to wear a uniform. Sadly for her, that didn't happen today, but she did make lots of crafts and many new friends.
such a big girl going to camp where she didn't know anyone
They must have talked about what they wanted to be when they grow up at camp because this is the conversation that we had when I picked her up~
Reagan: I'm going to marry Bryson when I grow up.
Mom: You are?
Reagan: Yes, and I'm going to stay home with the children while he goes out and tells people about Jesus everyday.
Mom: That sounds wonderful. What are you going to do when the children go to school?
Reagan: I guess I'll get a job.
Mom: What kind of job are you going to get?
Reagan: I think I'll be a teacher.
How sweet that she and her "husband" want people to know about Jesus! I'm so proud of her!
