Doesn't It Figure...

While Reagan and Keith were napping on this rainy, cold Saturday, I was all set to FINALLY update the blog on our "happenings" for the past week.  Wouldn't it figure that our computer decided to, all but, crash!!!!  We are hoping to get someone here to look at it ASAP because of course it's where ALL of my pictures are!!  I will do some updates tomorrow, they just won't have pictures, which I know makes them not nearly as exciting. :)

We went to see Santa today and seriously, I think Reagan's picture with Santa should be on the Ellen DeGeneres show...it's hilarious!!  Just wait until you see it :)

Hope you're having a good weekend!

18 Months!

Today our baby girl is 18 months old!!  ONE and a HALF!  Six months ago we were celebrating her first birthday and in 6 months we will be celebrating her SECOND birthday...I can't believe it!

Reagan is REALLY talking a lot these days!  She will repeat a lot of what we say, so we are trying to be VERY careful with words that come out of our mouth.  She loves to sing "Patty Cake" all the time.  Her favorite part is "rul" (rolling) it, patting it, and throwing it in the oven.  Talking on the phone is pretty fun too...she will hold it up to her ear and say "ha-whoa."  It cracks me up because when I ask who she is calling she will say "Daddy" and then I'll ask where Daddy is and the answer is either "wuk" or "i ont know".   "Reaggie" is another favorite word.  Did you know ho-ho, aka Santa, is coming to see "Ray-gie"??  It's hilarious...you ask who Santa is coming to see and she says Reaggie, Mommy, Daddy, Bay, and Jay-Jay is usually tossed in there too. 

 I don't know what she would do without her "banky!"

Speaking of all things Christmas, Reagan LOVES it all!  It's precious.  She LOVES when we come home in the afternoon and plug in all of our lights, she will say "more, more" until we have them all plugged in.  She loves seeing trees with lights on them and looking at all the pretty lights outside.  Reags is going to be so fun this Christmas, we can hardly wait!!

Reagan is very independent these days too.  She loves to put her own pants on and take off her shoes.  Reags is also becoming very helpful with wipies and loves to "help" when we are changing her diaper.  She does make-up with mommy and knows how to use all the brushes and everything...it cracks me up!  She is just such a big girl!

What else?  She just gets bigger and bigger, sweeter and sweeter, and more wonderful everyday!  We just adore this girl more than we ever thought possible.  She is our angel and we are so very thankful for her sweetness every minute of the day.  We love you Reaggie SO very much!!

HoHoHo!

Tonight I was in the kitchen and I heard a sweet little voice coming in my direction saying, "ho-ho-ho!"  (Everytime Reagan sees a Santa anything, these words come out of her mouth.)  I walked towards her and was saying, "do you see San..."  As I rounded the corner to see my little darling, she had put on my Santa hat, from a meeting at school last night, and was pretending to be Santa!  To say it was precious is an understatement!  ha!!

Totally exhausted from her day...kicked back and watching "Beat" (Fresh Beat Band)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't believe that Thanksgiving has already come and gone...the Christmas season is officially in FULL swing!! :)

We had a great Thanksgiving "week."  Reags and I flew up on Wednesday morning, which worked out great!  OF COURSE, she was up from 1:30-3:30 that morning when we had to get up around 5 to head to the airport, so that was fun, but we made it.  Wednesday was a relaxing day of nothing and running to Wal-mart with Jamie!

Sitting in her own "big girl" seat on the plane!  (We got lucky and had an extra seat in our row, which was occupied by little miss of course!)

Jamie being festive in Wal-mart!

Enjoying an oreo in milk after dinner...ha!

Thanksgiving Day we were lucky to be able to relax all day!  We weren't going to my aunt and uncle's until later that afternoon, so we literally played with Reagan, I made a couple desserts, and relaxed!  It was wonderful.  We had a delicious dinner and had fun seeing family that we haven't seen in WAY too long.

Jake, Mike, and Em hanging out

Reagan wanted to do some Black Friday shopping

Family shot :)

I think she was running laps at this point...throwing a ball and chasing it...I think she watches Bailey a little too closely!

I didn't venture out on Black Friday this year...I just couldn't bring myself to do it!  Between getting up at an ungodly hour and having to deal with crowds, I just wasn't feeling it.  Maybe next year :)  We did get to meet up with Heather though to get our Christmas card pictures taken...thanks Heath!!

It was so fun on Saturday to go out to dinner with some friends from high school.  We were supposed to have our 10 year reunion that night, but lack of ticket sales cancelled that.  I was so bummed!  However, it was great to go to dinner and catch up with great friends!  It's funny how it has been so long, but felt like we were sitting in high school yesterday.  We had a great time!

Nichole, Kendra, me, Kate, Lynette, and (An)Drew

We got back early this afternoon and unpacked, did laundry (all the fun stuff), and went to get our Christmas tree.  Decorating is on the agenda for tomorrow night!  :)

Overall it was a wonderful few days!!  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!

1/2 Day Week!

This week has been exhausting...I have had to work a 1/2 day.  :)  (I'm obviously kidding!)  Wendy called at 4:30am on Monday to tell me she had been up with her daughter all night with the stomach bug...no fun!  So bummer, Momma had to stay home with Reags on Monday!  We went to the park, went on a walk, played outside, and ran a couple errands...we had such a great day!

Swinging on the "wee, wee"

Collecting leaves, leaves, and more leaves!

Thrilled to take a picture with me :)

Today Keith stayed home in the morning and then I took a 1/2 day and came home for the "afternoon shift."  ha!  It worked out perfectly!  Keith and Reags went to the park, came to visit Mommy at work, and played with Keith's shoes...haha...Reaggie is WAY into putting on shoes now!  She even requested her boots the other night, it was pretty cute!

Wish this wasn't so fuzzy, but cute anyway!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is just a couple days away!  We all have SO much to be thankful for!  Reaggie and I are flying home in the morning...thanks Mom!  Poor Keith will be driving home, but he'll have Bailey to keep him company!  Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!

It's Beginning to Look a LOT Like Christmas...

This was the weekend of Christmas deocrating and it was so fun!  SO very different than last year when I had this little almost 6 month old that just SAT on the floor! :)  haha!!  Reags had so much fun helping though and LOVES all the lights!!  She also goes up to all of the stockings and names who each one belongs to..."dada, mama, Reaggie, Bay."  Love it!

Reaggie and Keith spent some time together doing a little Christmas shopping on Saturday! :)  It was a big game for State, so of course RMK had to be in her red and white gear.

After Reaggie's nap we put up her Christmas tree...oh.my.word!  She was so sweet helping and is just obsessed with it.  She wakes up in the morning saying "tree, tree."

Decorating!

Showing off her pretty "ink" (pink) ornaments.

Another work week has come and gone and just two days to go until Thanksgiving break!  Yahoo!!  Here are a couple pictures of our cutie from the week!

Ready to "go" to Miss Wendy's!

Running, obviously...

Catching her breath!

So this 17 month old is REALLY working hard on taking clothes off and putting them on!  Tonight, she opted for the one shoulder look...very fashionable!

And what better way to spend a Friday night than watching Dora and snuggling with Daddy...poor Bailey!

Have a great weekend!
