Sunday "Funday" Brunch with Morgan & Kevin

Last Sunday, Morgan and Kevin were back in town, so we opted out of church and had brunch with the family! In typical Goodale fashion, we had to have some great brunch cocktails, so Rick made his famous Bloody Marys and they were garnished with skewers of stuffed olives & spam, celery, and PEPPERED BACON!!! Delicious!


Reagan was so happy to see Morgan! It only took her a second before she was climbing up into Mork's lap and tugging on her sleeve to "come play with me!"


Jessica was so sweet and offered to take the camera so I could be in a few pictures. This is a new resolution of mine...I want the girls to know that I was there for these events, not just stuck behind the lens. Thanks, Jess!


Jason assisted Gary Michael with the chef duties for the day. He got an early start with him (at 6:30!) and they made eggs benedict to order! The options were smoked salmon, canadian bacon, spinach, or - for me - regular bacon! Yum!!! 


I have no idea what's happening here:)


Snapped a pic of all the girls and Drew, Reese's son. So much fun! Jess looks like a giant!


Then the girls practiced their flying and tackling of mommy.


Of course the goodbyes were difficult for Morgan. She's been surrounded by family for so long, that it's tough to leave after such a short visit. It was especially difficult to say goodbye to this amazing lady!


Savannah was stuffing her face with fruit for most of the day. She had just eaten the biggest piece of cantaloupe and was showing Papa that her mouth was clear for more:)


Had to snap a picture of these two. They were "accidentally" twins for the morning!


Special picture of moms & daughters! 


I tried to get pictures of most of the family with Morgan and Kevin before they had to depart.








And the day ended perfectly with this sweet moment between Grandma and Savannah...

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!"
