HAPPY BIRTHDAY REAGAN!!!

Reagan is two today!!! She is really excited. For the past week we have been asking, who's birthday is next? She raises her hands and says, mine!! You ask her how she is and she says three, laughs and then says two. We are still working on that.



Reagan is my firecracker baby. She is soooooo stuborn it is going to kill me. She is generally a happy, happy girl, but if you ruin her plans she gets mad quick!! My mom is always amazed at how mad she get so quick, but, she can get happy just as fast. She has grown up so much faster then Rylie it has amazed me. She sat up at 4 months, crawled around 6, and walked around 11 months. She started talking around 9-10 months and by 18 months was in full sentences.




She LOVES to sing. We have several "bible songs", as the girls call them, in the car. Some of her favorites to sing are, This little light of mine, Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, B-I-B-L-E, Father Abraham, and Who did shallow Jonah. She knows all the words the chorus and is getting better on the verus. She has learned a ton more songs at school. Her favorite school songs are Where is thumbkin and Old McDonald.



I know every parent thinks there are kids are the best, so thanks for listening to me brag on my baby on her birthday!!


Here are some pictures of Reagan. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane.

Petting Zoo

We went to the petting zoo with a good friend of ours, the Liz and Sean. The have a daughter, Makenna, that is 3 and another little girl, Kaylan that is 16 months.

Here they all are, starting left to right: Reagan, Rylie, Makenna, Kaylan!! Aren't the cute?



Here is a picture of all of us girls!! We wouldn't know what to do if any of us had a boy!!

Reagan milked a cow at the petting zoo!!! I couldn't believe it. She was a little nervous at first, but the lady was really patient.

Here they are in the pumpkin patch. They each got to pick out a pumpkin. Reagan is still carrying hers around!! They loved this part. They also went through a maze. I was surprised how well the girls did.

Here is Rylie and Makenna. They are really starting to enjoy each others company. We started having play dates about once a week when they were just 3-4 months old. Know it is less then that, but they are old enough to play together. I hope they stay good friends for long time!!!

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to rotate the picture!!)

Trip to the Zoo

We have season passes to the ft worth zoo (in case you are wondering why we have some post with zoo pictures!!) We also have fun and try to go once or twice a month.

Reagan LOVES alligators!! I am not sure why, but she loves to read about them and talks about them a lot. This is the first time we have seen the alligator this close and she loved it. His nose was right up against the glass. It was really cool.


Rylie is normally really timid, so for her to feed the birds was a really big deal. This is the first time that I had even been able to get her to go into the bird cage. You can tell she is not 100%, but she was so proud of herself afterwards. She talked about it for days. You can see Reagan in the corner or the picture covering her head. A couple of birds flew by and hit her a little so it freaked her out. She is normally my brave one!!

Rylie has gotten into wearing handbands, so of course, Reagan has too. Reagan will not let me put them on her, she does it all my herself. Being Zoo members we can get an all day pass on the train for $4 for all of us. We we also have to make a couple of rides. The girls love it.
For some reason the wanted to set on all the little animals and take a picture. I have like 3-4 of these. It was funny. They kept posing and say, take a picture of us, take a picture.

Mine & Rylie's Bday

Rylie's birthday was last month, she is 3!!! We didn't really get a lot of good pictures, but here she is with her cake. She had a lot of fun. We had a princess bday party. She decorated a crown, a wand and played a few games.




My birthday was the 9th, I turned 26 :( It was a little sad for me, it is my last year in my mid-twenties and it made me feel really old for some reason!! Michael and I went out the night before. The girls helped me bake and ice my cake. We had a lot of fun.
