Our little bride Reagan

Reagan loves to dress up in her princess dresses and also loves weddings. So when we saw the dress up wedding dress at Target she had to have it. She had to put it on as soon as we got home and she asked us to take her picture (Reagan only asks for her picture to be taken if we're taking Bailey's picture, she does not volunteer otherwise). She has worn it every day we've gotten home from school and looks forward to wearing it again the next day. She looks adorable in it and is so cute!


I think the pink socks really make it!
She's even got the pose going on with the flowers!
She asked to pose in front of the fireplace
Such a cutie!
She just loves the dress!

Weekend full of Birthday Parties

So last weekend Reagan had 3 birthday parties to go to and one party was for 2 kids (which is a good idea). Eric was on call so I had to attend all 3 of them. The first one was for Jade at Jungle Jump (we don't have many pictures from there since we already have TONS of pics from there) and Jade's brother actually had his birthday party with her also. Then later that afternoon we went to Austin & Parker Marlatt's Playball party at Bogan Park. We were excited to get to see what they do at Playball and what we pay for. Of course Reagan wouldn't really have any part of it due to the crowd. But she let me help her out some and then she finally started to get into it and having fun with it. Then on Sunday we went over to Christina's house for a My Little Pony party. She had a horse, pony & rabbits to pet there. Reagan rode the pony and horse several times, that is something she will do at a party or event for sure. And yes I know the shirt on Reagan at this party is a little too big and falls down, but that is what she wanted to wear.

Judy joined in on the fun since she has to help Austin with this jump
The only way to get Austin in this picture was for Judy to be in it also

Everyone is in there spot and ready for the next game
Reagan didn't even try to catch the ball, it just bounced right off her

Reagan won't let go of the ball
She was having fun now, since she actually posed for this picture!
Everyone is ready, they are listening to ocean and getting ready to attack the shark

They are picking up the fishes and getting them into their basket before the shark gets them
Good job! Time to do the playball cheer
Reagan is the first one to get the Sporty tattoo

Coach Tara brought out the stamp for those that wanted a stamp and Reagan immediately put her hands on her head

Christina was so thrilled to ride the horse


Reagan loves riding the horse, even though she gives me that Reagan look

Pinata time!
Look at all that candy!
"Look mom, I got your favorite!"; which poor thing ended up dropping it back onto the floor and not into her goody bag
Time for birthday cake

Bailey's 1st real haircut

So we decided to tempt fate and take the girls to get haircuts on Monday afternoon, after we picked Reagan up from school. We showed up at a good time, because it started to get busy after we signed in; they actually said typically it is quiet in the afternoons, especially Monday's. We got Reagan's hair trimmed and she of course would not say one word to the hairdresser. I think she actually shook her head "yes" when asked if she wanted a lollipop. After Reagan's haircut it was Bailey's turn. I didn't even try to put her in one of the kid seats, just had her sit in my lap. As soon as that cape went around her she started crying. She wasn't having any part of Daddy before that but now she wanted her Daddy to get her! Overall she did good and she can finally see now! Who knows what will happen the next time we go in for a haircut.



Look, she's actually wearing some shoes!
Poor thing, she doesn't know what to think of all this
"What happened Daddy? Can you pick me up now?"
Still trying to get her hair in her eyes - we think she likes the hair in her eyes actually
She looks so "grown up" in this picture!

We had a busy weekend full of celebrations and good times. We celebrated Kelly, Tyler & Ganny's birthday, Dorothy being a Breast Cancer survivor and Mothers Day. It was a great weekend of celebrating wonderful things!

Friday we went over to Kelly & Brandon's house then out to eat to celebrate her birthday.

On Saturday morning, we went down to Atlantic Station and ran the Race for the Cure 5k. I didn't have my camera down there but Fred had his and got some pictures. I also saw my friend Heather and she got a picture also. The race went well and it was nice to be able to celebrate all the survivors but also remember all the people who lost their lives to the cancer. It was warm by the time the race started and it was crowded at first but we did it and finished! Later that afternoon we headed over to Krista & Chad's for Tyler's 1st birthday party. The kids had a great time playing and getting dressed up.

Even Bailey dressed up as a Princess
