Scooting & Riding

On Savannah's birthday, Daddy came home with some special presents for our girl...a scooter, helmet and elbow/knee pads! This little daredevil mounted the scooter at the top of the stairs and asked if she could ride down!!! After convincing her that probably wasn't the safest plan, we donned our gear and headed outside. Several months ago, Reagan learned to ride without training wheels. She falls fairly frequently and has been hesitant to practice. When we got to California, we snagged some knee and elbow pads for her hoping that would do the trick...it worked! She hopped right on the bike and didn't skip a beat. Turns out the old adage is true:)

Savannah had a blast figuring out her scooter and did a great job riding! Our neighborhood is small...only one street with several speed bumps, so unlike our house in Mt Vernon, we feel safe letting the girls ride in the street. It's nice and flat and wide enough for turns which was perfect!

Not quite sure she has the hang of the whole "riding" concept:)

After about 30 minutes, Savannah tired of her new toy, stripped off her gear and enjoyed walking around with me.

Seriously, this is one HAPPY girl!





Tommy is so patient with Savvy. She hugs him all the time!




The same day, we got to FaceTime with Grandma and Papa, Uncle Geoffrey and Aunt Glenna, and Aunt Sheri! Savannah enjoyed opening her presents from everyone and, of course, wanted to play with each new toy immediately. It was a wonderful birthday!

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!"
