Happy 4th of July!

By far the best 4th of July ever, thanks to Darrin & Lance we got a great spot on the beach! They woke up at 5:30 in the morning to get a parking spot before they were all taken and set up our stuff on the beach. They came back home, we hung out and just prepared for the day until around 2 o'clock. (they took two cars so they could leave the truck parked)

The day was perfect! We made homemade cookies and dips the night before, had tons of fruit, drinks and grilled out hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. I think we ate the entire day! We watched the beautiful sun set and as it got cooler outside we lit the fire. We brought our fit pit out there to keep us warm at night and to top it off we cooked smores!

By around 8:45 we were the only ones left on the beach. Everyone had packed up and headed other places to watch the fireworks. I kept telling them it was time to go and that that we couldn't see the fireworks from where we were. Finally they blew out the fire and as we were carrying our last load to the car the biggest firework shot up right over out head!! I couldn't believe it!! So we open up our chairs and watched the firework show, it was awesome and Reagan loved it!! What a fun day on the beach!

Yay!! Uncle Lance is Here!!

Today is finally the day my Uncle Lance gets here! The last time I saw him was Christmas and clearly, we love each other. He is always showing off my new pictures but now he can finally see me in person! We are going to have so much fun! I can't wait to see him, I love my Uncle Lance so much!!

Love,
Uncle Lance's favorite niece, Reagan (nation)

Introducing Bradie Grace Batson!!

Another one of my best friends joined the Mommy club today! Bradie Grace Batson born June 30th, 3:52 p.m., 7 lbs 13 oz, 20 1/2 inches. She is absolutely perfect, just precious! For some reason I feel like she looks like Reagan when she was born, I think its the dark hair and skin, round face, long fingers and toes. So Reagan not only has a new BFF but a twin as well!

I am so happy for Carrie & Lee, I know they will make wonderful parents. I can't wait to come home and love on all these babies! Bradie you are so stinkin cute and I can not wait meet you. Reagan has been asking me when she is going to get to play with you, she already loves you so much! Be a good girl for your Mommy these next few weeks, she is learing too.

Can't wait to see you! Only 11 more days!

Poor Princess

Chances are if you see Reagan this is what she is doing, fussing or crying! Poor thing, I feel so bad for her, she is getting not one, not two but THREE top teeth. I have been giving her tylenol, motrin and using oragel as much as possible but I can see she is so uncomfortable. Here is a picture of her top tooth (and her crying). Only one is actually starting to come down, the other two have just cut through the gum.

Life is Peachy!

The weather has been great lately so we have been going down to the pool. The water is still a little to chilly for me, so basically Reagan and I just lay out. I always have a hard time trying to figure out what to do with her so that she is entertained, but I no longer have to wonder. I gave her a peach and she worked on it for over and HOUR! She loved it! She just sat there and chewed on it until it was down to the seed. She looked so cute! (sorry I had to post all the pictures, I just loved them all!)

We Love Daddy & New Teeth!

I forgot to add these 2 pictures to the Fathers Day post! Reagan and I were playing with sidewalk chalk waiting on Daddy to come home from work!

p.s. Guess who has a new tooth!!! I noticed today one has started breaking through on top. I will try to get a picture if I can!

Daddy's First Fathers Day!!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!! I love today because I feel like we can really show Darrin how special he is to us and let him know how grateful we are for all that he does. I always knew that my life with him would be wonderful, but I don't think I realized how much more wonderful it would become seeing him with Reagan. He is an amazing daddy and watching Reagan and him together fills me with happiness. He loves her so much and she lights up when he comes home. She loves to play with him and he has just as much fun playing with her. I can't wait to see the things they play when she is older; dress up, tea parties, anything she wants, (or he wants - softball, basketball, cars & trucks) Darrin loves to make her smile and to know that she is happy. He is so much fun to be around and Reagan just loves being with him. Who wouldn't, he is the coolest, most fun, most hottest, most funny, most happy Daddy there is and we are so lucky that he is ours. Thank you for not only being a wonderful husband, but an even better father.
We love you,
Reagan & Mommy

Their journey led them to love...which led them to marriage...which led to parenthood...which led her to wonder if one lifetime was long enough to share with this man she loved to love. So grateful for the dad you have become...so in love with the man you are.
