Fall Gold Cup

Saturday, October 19th, was this year's fall Gold Cup. Jason was at the UVA football game, so the girls and I met up with some friends just off of 66 and headed to The Plains for some horse racing. Jon, Rachel, Alex and Scott piled in the van (everyone makes fun of the van until you realize it can hold 5 adults and two kids comfortably) and we arrived earlier than 95% of the crowd:)

But the tent, beverages, and food were all set up and Grandpa Rick, Gary Mike and IP were all there waiting for us. And despite a chill in the air, we all had a wonderful time! 





This is the real reason I go to Gold Cup:) Best. Bacon. Ever.

Reagan fixed herself a plate as soon as we arrived!

Jon, Rachel, Alex and Scott - not only is this an awesome group of people just because, but they also played with Reagan the entire time!

The girls!

Savannah was staying warm!

Uncle Kevin was teaching Reagan how to dance...

This girl seriously has a crush:)

Katrienne and the girls


Proof that I was actually there;)

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!"
