Swim Lessons

So Reagan just finished taking swim lessons this past Saturday. We went every Sat for 5 weeks and the class was 40 mins and she took the first level (Preschool 1). Basically they did the same thing every class:

blow bubbles with face in the water
practice swimming leaning on the teachers chest & kicking
practice their stroke with noodles and the teacher
floating on back
jumping in the water (other words also going under water)

Reagan enjoyed the class and did well and would volunteer for everything; but just didn't really want to put her face in the water much or go under. She did much better on the last class with putting her face in the water & blowing bubbles; but still wouldn't really go under the water at all. So she didn't "graduate" to the next level; which is fine. She's comfortable in the water and that's the main thing right now. We'll see if a week at the beach will make a big difference. Once I get the pictures downloaded from the camera (Eric is currently on call and the camera is with him at all times right now), I will post them of her at her last class with her certificate.

Our Egyptian Princesses

Eric's parents spent close to 4 weeks traveling Egypt and brought the girls back some Egyptian Princess Dress up clothes. Reagan modeled her outfit for us and Bailey kept the hat on for a little bit.

Doesn't she make an adorable Princess
Bailey doesn't know what to make of those beads
Such cuties!

Gotta Wear Shades

Bailey is pretty good about keeping hats & sunglasses on. She actually loves to put sunglasses on and then of course take them off and put them back on again. But so far the few times she has been to the pool, she has been good about keeping the sunglasses on and she's so cute wearing them! Here is a picture of her & I and the pool in her shades. Now if we can just get her to like the pool as much as she likes wearing the sunglasses. I have another picture of her wearing Reagan's blue sunglasses but I'm having issues getting to that drive right now. Once I can get that drive up again, I will post it later!

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.

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!
