A Day at the Beach...


Yesterday we took Reagan on her first trip to the beach!  It was a family adventure to North Topsail and though the wind was wild, we had amazing weather.  In an attempt to shield Reagan from the sun, Jason set up an umbrella we purchased on our way to the beach...unfortunately, the wind outlasted the umbrella and cut our trip short.  






No worries, we had a great time.  Reagan followed in her brother's footsteps and freaked out when she "went in the ocean."  




After a bit though, she got used to having her feet dipped in and she was all smiles.  




Tommy had a blast playing with Jason, "swimming," chasing birds, and rolling in the sand like a little sugar cookie.  





 Al in all, it was a wonderful trip and we can't wait to do it again before the weather officially becomes fall.  (And it gave us a good opportunity to keep testing out our new camera!)

    I like the new fall blog background and the first beach trip pictures are amazing! I love the sugar-cookie Tommy face--my sweet boy! And of course my princess is beautiful!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
