6 Month Pictures

My prayers worked! I prayed and prayed that Reagan would give big smiles today for their 6 month pictures and... she did!!! I can't tell you how happy I was with how they acted and how their pictures turned out. Just a tad different then their 3 month pictures. Enjoy!






Reagan Jumps!

Memorial Day Weekend

We didn't do much of anything this weekend but it was nice to just be around family. Saturday we went to Ryan's dad & stepmom's place. We hung out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We learned that Reagan really loves flowers. She quickly eyed the newly potted petunias and didn't find anything wrong with tearing off each and every bloom. Only a grandma and grandpa will let you get away with that!

What a beautiful day!

This morning we decided to hang outside for a bit and enjoy the awesome weather we've FINALLY been having. Hunter & Reagan had a great time and luckily for me, it made them quite sleepy. So after their yummy lunch of good 'ol sweet peas, they are now down for a nap:-)

Nice to meet you Great-Grandma Lila!

Last night, Hunter and Reagan finally got to meet their great-grandma who is Ryan's grandma Lila. They LOVED her! They were all giggles and smiles. They also got to meet their great-great aunt and uncle Edna and Norm. It was actually the first time I met Norm and Edna as well. We had a really fun night. Jan made the BEST lasagna and Brett made his home-made razzleberry pie... or so he wishes:-) After dinner everyone gathered around to play dominoes. I missed out on the fun due to 2 very sleepy babies but the table talk was entertaining enough!!

This jumping is hard work!!

Thank goodness for the Rainforest Jumper! I can actually grab a few minutes to attempt to clean or do some laundry having this toy. Hunter is a jumpin' fool in his jumper but Reagan tends to just study the attached toys very intently. As you can see by the picture below, Hunter tends to wear himself out just a bit, although he's never quite been this worn out... In fact, my friend Susan has a picture of her little boy Landon in pretty much this exact position in his Rainforest Jumper:-)

This is one of the best "happy" pictures we have of Reagan so far. She gets happier and happier every day:-)

My First Mother's Day

I absolutely love Mother's Day. I really hadn't thought much about it but when the day got here, I couldn't believe how great I felt. That day has sure been a long time coming. I got to spend it (of course) with my sweet babies and Ryan. Ryan was supposed to be in Japan over Mother's Day but luckily his trip was postponed. I also got to spend it with most of my family as well: my sister Ronda, my brother-in-law Gary and their kids Tyler and Trevor; my brother Danny, sister-in-law Kristi and their kids Cody and Caitlyn; and Mom and Dad. We all had quite a full weekend. Friday we attended my niece Kourtni's graduation from CU Boulder. I have to admit that made feel a bit old.. Ryan, Danny, and Gary went to a poker party and get this... didn't make it home until 4 am! Ryan won so that was nice. Saturday night Ryan's dad and step mom joined us to help "inaugurate" Mom and Dad's new media room. We watched the race (NASCAR) and Hunter & Reagan have become quite the fans. They couldn't take their eyes off of the screen! We ate bunch of good food and drank plenty of beer and wine and had a great time! Sunday we all just enjoyed the awesome weather but tonight there is a Winter Storm warning. Last time I checked it was May 12th, but... whatever.. I still LOVE Colorado!!
