Water Table Fun!

Saturday morning was just beautiful!  Reags and I ran a couple errands and while Daddy mowed the lawn, the kiddos played on the "pirate ship" (the swingset) and then got the water table out.  Landon and Reagan had too much fun...we're talking this kept them busy for about an hour and a half...beautiful!!

I love this :)

It was a fun little morning followed by a fun night out to dinner with some friends!

Our Week

Happy Friday!  We've had a fun filled summer week with some BEAUTIFUL weather :)

On Monday Reagan woke up with a fever again...no idea what the deal was.  It lasted a little over 24 hours, nothing high, just a low grade fever.  Thankfully she acted pretty much herself.  :)

Durning breakfast Tuesday morning this kiddo was getting accessorized by his sister...poor thing!

Tuesday I had an appointment for the kiddos to get their pictures taken, AGAIN! This time it was for Landon's 10 month and Reagan's 3 year pics...they turned out pretty cute!

Wednesday we headed to Vollmer Farms for some strawberry picking.  I happened to see that they would have strawberries for another couple weeks and Reagan had SO much fun when we went before, I figured we would count that as our "field trip" of the week.  It was empty, which was nice, but rather warm.  We were still successful though and got some YUMMMMY strawberries!!

Yes, Hallmark Gold Crown seals...we were busy getting Father's Day cards in the mail that morning ;)

We just HAD to get some homemade YUMMY ice cream while we were there as a little "pre-lunch" snack.  It was so good!  Landon had his own little cup too and he POLISHED it off!

This is his "ehhhh, ehhhh" face, which in "Landon" means MORE LADY and FASTER!!

Thursday we ventured to Walmart, storytime, and then to Chick Fil A to meet one of Reaggie's friends for lunch.  The girls played, Landon chilled in his stroller, and the mommas got to chat :)  It was a crazy morning though and I was secretly wishing that CFA had nice cold cocktails...oh well.

Landon was lovin' his peas at dinnertime!

Today the weather was PERRRFECT!  Not a cloud in the sky, no humidity, low 80's, just BEAUTIFUL!  We were going to go to the pool, but it was still a little chilly this morning and with the breeze, I didn't want to risk us getting there and then freezing...too much work :)  SOOO we opted for the post office and the park instead.  It was such a fun little morning with the kiddos!

Seriously, he is just getting SO stinkin' big!!

Precious girl!

It was a great week...now it's time to get ready for a fun filled weekend and a special little day on Sunday :)

Third Birthday Weekend!

*Beware of picture overload!*

Friday morning we had to run a few last minute errands to get ready for the big day on Saturday, such as pick up the cake!  By the time we got home my mom and John were just about here, which Reags was a little too excited about!  They were here for lunch and then once I got the kiddos down, I had to run to get our blasted computer looked at real quick so I could finish up her 3rd year slideshow...it worked out that I had "babysitters" during naptime :)

Pop-Pop worked hard during naptime to put this beauty together!  Reaggie's first car :)  She was SOOO excited!!  However, she was so scared to get in it at first and then finally got in it, but did NOT want it to move.  Thankfully, the battery was still charging anyway, so it's a good thing she didn't want it to move!

Landon loves it too!

Seriously!?  Her bar is set a little too high now I think!

Thank you Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop for the SOOO cool present!

We had a little cookout at our house Friday night because Margaret and MORGAN drove down from Virginia for Reaggie's party.  Our other neighbors came over too and we all hung out and ate until about 9 when this wicked woman broke up the party so a certain 3 year old could go to bed to get ready for her big party day!

Reaggie's party was at a gym this year, which was SOO great!  There really was NO stress the morning of the party, which is a whole new concept for me :)  We had to swing by Harris Teeter to get some balloons and, clearly, had to have a donut!

We got to the gym about 15 minutes before her friends were to arrive, I set up the tables, got things organized and we were set!

Party time!  Yahoooo!

Reagan with her girls, Brooklyn and Grace :)

Mo-Mo!!! (in full gymnastics attire!)

Baby Evie came and to say Reagan was excited to see her was an understatement!  Of course we were excited to see Miss Heather and Mr. Bret too!

"Silly" Emmy :)

So they have this harnass swing that apparently is the "hit" of all the parties...I didn't think Reagan would want to do it, because she has been nervous lately about doing anything new.  WELL, Morgan went first to show her how fun it was and then Reagan was ALL excited!  She was FLYING through the air and LOVING every second!  I felt like I was going to vomit just watching her, but she had a blast!

Since she was the birthday girl she got to go TWICE!  The second time she was much more comfortable and wanted to go faster and higher than before!

Group shot!  I can't believe they were so still :)

After an hour in the gym we got to move into the lovely paint splattered party room ;)  We had 30 minutes in there, which worked out great.  We had cake, ice cream, Reagan passed out her goodie bags to her friends, cleaned up and it was time to go!  I think everyone had a great time!

Since her party was wrapped up by 11:30, we decided to go out to lunch with Margaret and Morgan before they hit the road.  We went to the Ale House, sat outside, and the girls got to run out even more energy while we waited for our food.  They had a blast!

We were home in time for naps and EVERYONE slept GREAT!  What a busy morning!  I think we need to invest in a trampoline and bouncy slides in our future :)  Keith went out to watch the Germany soccer game and on his way home picked up Reagan's final dinner request of the 3rd birthday extravaganza, steak, again!  We ate a yummy dinner on the deck and Landon had a BLAST splashing in the water table.  Silly man!  Good thinkin' Mum-Mum!

Pure happiness!

We had to sing to the birthday girl ONE LAST time!

...with leftover cake from her party!

We ended Saturday night by watching her 3rd year slideshow that I made.  It takes awhile to do and I stress so badly about the songs to put on it, but it is so fun to watch and see how much our little girl has changed over the year!  Reags got a kick out of watching it too :)  She has been watching her "baby" one a lot lately on the computer.

Sunday morning we had a yummy breakfast and then it was car time again!  Reagan still wanted nothing to do with pushing the petal, SO Keith had a GREAT idea (I seriously was impressed) to use the top of a broom to push the petal and we could walk behind the car.  It worked and R LOVED it!  It is going to take her a few tries to master steering, but she did pretty good!

note the broom handle :)

Landon got in on the fun too and LOVED it!

Phew...what a fun weekend!  I think we are partied out for a little while anyway, until it's time for our big man's first birthday in August.  Hard to believe that is right around the corner!

Reags woke up with a little fever this morning, again, and said her tummy hurt.  She rested most of the morning and I gave her Advil, which seemed to help her feel better too.  Hopefully she can sleep it off and be feeling good as new!
