On Thin Ice

Reagan and I attended the Girl Scout Ice Skating Outing this afternoon.  The rink was reserved for Girl Scouts and their families, but Cooper & Greg thought it would be more fun to stay home and watch football!  This was both Reagan and my first time to ice skate ~ Reagan only fell twice. I think we did pretty good and Reagan said she would like to go back again.

 she looks a little pained, but I promise she was having fun!  She was terrified of falling for the first little bit!

 they held a little class for first time skaters ~ here they're learning to fall properly

Mom, are you coming?

 We had a great time!

Cookie Rally

This afternoon, the Girl Scouts held a Cookie Rally to kick of the cookie selling season!  The girls learned about setting goals and working together.  They sang songs, did crafts, earned a patch and most importantly got to taste the cookies!!!

Monster Trucks

Tonight, Greg took Cooper to see the Monster Trucks.  They had so much fun...had I gone, there would be tons of photos ~ but I have to give Greg credit, he did take a couple of pictures and videos of the trucks and one (ONE) video of Cooper that I can't get to upload!

 

While the boys were doing boy things, Reagan and I had a night out of our own!  We ate dinner at Salsarita's and then dessert at Menchie's.  We came home and watched a cartoon or two; and the highlight of Reagan's night was me sleeping in her bed with her! 

Girls Rule!

Back in the Swing

After two LONG weeks without my camera, I finally have it back in my possession!  And, with the warmer weather, the kids were able to get back outside and play on their swing set.

 so much fun!

 Reagan made it up the rock wall too

 who can swing the highest?

 warmer weather = lawn mower (the best investment EVER!)

 of course, no play time would be complete without a snack

 SO MUCH FUN!

Also, today is my dad's birthday!

Happy Birthday Dad, I love you very much!

Scootin' Around

Cooper received a big boy Razor scooter for Christmas from Mamaw & Papaw.  This afternoon, I moved the van out of the garage and let Reagan teach Cooper how to ride!

He was a quick learner

 too bad daddy had to work!

 there he goes!

Pink Bride

My sister Kim, my mom and I went along to a Bridal Show with my niece Megan today.  It was a little overwhelming at all the decisions that will need to be made, but we had a lot of fun spending the day together!

The Tooth Fairy Cometh

Reagan lost her 8th tooth yesterday.  She had planned to spend the night with Gigi & Bubba, but had to come home early so the Tooth Fairy could find her!

 the note to the Tooth Fairy

Reagan didn't want me to take any pictures of her goodies from the tooth fairy, but she got $10 and a new toothbrush.
