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!

We're Home!!

We made it, thank goodness for Honey!! There is no way I could have made that 4 hour plane ride without her. Reagan is NOT at an age where she wants to sit still or where she is amused with anything for more than 5 seconds. We even gave her a little Benadryl before we took off to help her sleep, but I think it had the reverse effect on her, she was wired and she had been up since 5:30am! I guess it could have been worse. She wasn't crying, she just needed to be entertained the entire time, luckily we had Honey's purse that was full of things that Reagan liked. (of course, all things that aren't toys!)

Once we got in everyone came over to Nonna & Grandpa's for a cookout. Reagan LOVES Dylan!! She was chasing him all around the house just smiling and laughing. Dylan isn't so sure of her just yet, he likes her more when she isn't around. He is in that 2 year old stage of not wanting to share or be bothered and ALL Reagan does is bother him. Not to mention she doesn't have complete control of her arm movements so she basically is just hitting him trying to play! Regardless they have so much fun together and one day he will be the one picking on her!

Honey's Trip!

Here are a bunch of pictures from Honey's trip! We were so busy the week flew by! We went to Coranado for some of the best ice cream, had fun at Soak City, moved everything to get all new flooring and carpet, went to see The Proposal (which I haven't been to the movie theater in over a year) and ate some great food!

Thank you so much for everything you do for us Honey. We had so much fun and I could never have made that plane ride with out you! We love you so much!

look at all those teeth!

Reagan's Check-Ups

Today we took Reagan to the doctor for her 9 month check-up (yes, we were behind, every time I had it scheduled something seemed to come up) Everything went great, but she wanted Reagan to see a pediatric optometrist to check out her eyes. She said that she had always been a little concerned with the alignment, mainly the right eye. She noticed that it might be inward a little which means she has a lazy eye, and truthfully, I have noticed it myself. I have zoomed in on pictures closely to look at her eyes, there isn't much difference, I just noticed a little. So after we get back from out trip home she will see an optometrist and see what they have to say about her aliment. All I can think about is how absolutely adorable she would look in glasses! I'm sure they would be a PAIN but little kids is glasses is so stinkin cute to me!

Anyways, for some reason I have never blogged about Reagan's regular check-ups. Luckily, I still had all the paperwork from her doctor so I was able to go back and look at all the info.
