Reagan Turns 6!

1. Party at Grandma & Papa's
2. Trip to Disneyland
3. Birthday dinner at Uncle Dan & Aunt Helen's

This girl knows how to drag out a birthday:) 

To celebrate Reagan turning 6 (on her actual birthday), we had dinner at Uncle Dan & Aunt Helen's house. Nathan, Amanda and Jeanette joined us for El Pollo Loco and a cake from Baskin Robbins. In my typical mix-match fashion, we had Minions & Shopkins decorating the house:) It was low key and just the kind of party I prefer. Reagan is a thoughtful, bright girl, and though we have our rough moments, we are blessed to have her as our first born. She has taught us a lot, and I'm constantly amazed at her maturity. One story she loves to recount is when I found out my van needed 4 new tires. I had a somewhat nasty conversation with the guys at the Toyota dealership, and I was upset when I left. I knew it would be expensive and who the heck wants to drop $800 on new tires?! So with tears in my eyes, I pulled over into an empty parking lot to have a pity party. Reagan unbuckled herself, leaned up to me and rubbed my back saying, "Don't worry Mommy. It's going to be ok." She is wise beyond her years and I'm grateful for her.




I'm not sure who had more fun with Reagan's new Shopkins...her or Aunt Helen & Amanda!

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!"
