About Me

Oslo, Norway
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Easter Weekend!

Darrin had the weekend off, which was a GREAT surprise! We were able to enjoy 3 whole days together which made for a wonderful weekend! I had Reagan's Easter pictures taken early so I could send some out to family and friends, so the first few pictures are from then. I must add that they turned out ADORABLE!

Friday we made a trip to Babies R Us to get Reagan a couple new toys. We decided she could try to use a push toy (not sure what they are called ) to help her learn to take steps. We also got her a gumball machine that lights up, she had fun with it and it entertained her for....5 min and then it was on to the next toy! That night Darrin & I watched Yes Man, it was hilarious! Typical Jim Carry movie but it had some really funny parts!

Saturday Darrin played golf and Reagan & I just hung out. It was a LONG day & she was grumpy, which means Mommy was grumpy! I think her teeth were really hurting her, she was just fussy and wanted to be held ALL DAY!!

Sunday was great! We woke up, made breakfast, went to church and then to the beach! It was a beautiful day and no better way to spend the day then at the beach! We came home and Darrin cooked dinner. It might be a new Snider Easter tradition, and I must add it was a first for me. He cooked lamb! It was actually pretty good, definitely interesting. Most of you know I am a chicken fingers kind of girl but Darrin will eat ANYTHING! So since he was doing the cooking, he got to choose.

What a wonderful weekend. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Wa-hoo!! Finally!!

She looks like me!!! Every since Reagan was born we ALL know who she looks like.....her daddy!! She is a spitting image of him! Everyone always comments on how much they look alike. My favorite was a lady who said to Darrin, "Wow, she is your little rubber stamp!" haha!! We thought that was hilarious, Daddy's little rubber stamp!

Anyways, today I realized she is definitely starting to look like me! Before I tried to find out what she had like me and all I could think of was her long skinny legs! But I swear in these pictures she looks JUST LIKE ME!! I asked my mom to send me some pictures so I could prove to everyone that Reagan just might be starting to look more like her Momma!! I love that she looks like her Daddy, she is beautiful, but how exciting is it that I can now see me when I look at her!! I promise to prove it for all those non believers once I get the pictures from Nonna!

Practicing Crawling!

Today we worked on crawling. She hasn't really done much, she gets up on all fours alot but as soon as she tries to move she falls on her belly! She scoots around and is sure getting to be a hand full. She is used to having company around for the past month and she will NOT let me put her down! I am running out of things to do during the day! Two more weeks until Aunt Tricia and the Dylan monster get here! I can't wait to see the little guy & hear how much he is talking now!







Come Back Sister!

Sister I miss you already!! COME BACK!! Thank you so much for coming and spending the week with us. I love you so much and so does Reagan. I can't wait until we someday live at least in the same STATE! This every few months thing isn't working for me! You are so special to us and because of you I can't wait to have another one! I want Reagan to be able to experience the relationship that siblings share, rather its with a sister or a brother. I love you so much & now I guess I will start counting down until July!

Day 6 - Laying by the Pool

The last day of Sisters visit we decided to just lounge by the pool. We had such a busy couple of days that we just want to take it easy. The weather was just beautiful so we took Reagan out to the pool and just laid around. It was nice to not be so busy and just relax!
