Birthday Fun

On July 23rd, Reagan's real birthday, we celebrated as a family with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Geoffrey. We started with our regular gymnastics class where they sang "Happy Birthday" to Reagan twice! She loved showing off her new skills for everyone. After that, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for some pizza and games. Jason surprised Reagan by showing up early and he surprised the rest of us by telling us he was done for the day! We all headed home and relaxed for a bit while Reagan napped. Then we started dinner and let Reagan open some presents. She had a blast tearing into the paper and seeing all her new toys!

Aunt Sheri and Uncle Scott - Reagan LOVES her new sand toys!! She actually spent the following morning playing with them using Play-Doh:)

New outfit from Grandma & Grandpa

Daddy had the biggest hit with Chuggington toys!

What on earth could be in this big bag?! 

Reagan's very first bike!


Reagan also got a new step stool so she can climb onto the potty by herself and also reach the sink without help! She loves it!!

After dinner (beef short ribs & gnocchi), we celebrated the birthday girl with some cake and another rendition of "Happy Birthday." As you know, this girl LOVES some sugar, and this cake was no exception:




All in all, it was a great day and Reagan has been having a blast playing with her new toys. We are so glad that the family could be here to celebrate with her!

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!"
