About Me

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!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was so much fun this year! It was Reagan's first year to trick or treat and she did great! I was really nervous because every time I would try her costume on her, she would scream and try to rip it off. So, I was totally prepared to bribe her with snacks, cookies, candy anything I could think of and I didn't even have to! She never fussed and kept it on the entire time! I think there was just so much going on, and since she is really into walking, she forgot all about what she was wearing.

We had such a good time and the night was a total success! My little ferocious lion looked adorable and racked up on tons of candy!

Flashback Friday



Halloween 1983 - 15 months old

My mom was always so creative when it came to our Halloween costumes. She always made them and had the best ideas! Sure you can buy a bumble bee outfit but how much cuter is this homemade one! All you need is yellow thermal underwear, black tape, black poster board, a small witch hat and a tooth pick for the stinger and you have one cute bumble bee!

I can't believe Reagan is almost 15 months old, the same age I was in this picture! I think she is starting to look more like me. What do you think?

Have a great Halloween Weekend! I can't wait to see all the costumes!

Look Who's Walking!!

Tonight Reagan finally started walking on her own!! For the past month she has been walking everywhere as long as she has just one finger to hold on to. If she doesn't have a finger she won't walk. Yesterday and today she took a few steps before falling but tonight she walked all the way from the living room to the kitchen before she fell!! And not just once!! She did it several times!!

We didn't get a very good video tonight because we were so focused on getting her to keep trying. I'm sure we will be working on it a lot tomorrow so I get one then. My goal was for her to be walking before Halloween so looks like she might make it!! For now all I have is this picture!! Yay Reagan!!! Wa-hoo!!

1,471 Miles Apart...

And we still dress alike!!




No we did not plan this, we didn't even talk until later on this evening! Her and Forrest carved their pumpkins today and we went to the Wild Life Animal Park. They were supposed to be having some kind of Halloween Park, but it definitely wasn't anything we were interested in. Not much different that what it usually is, but since we are members we went to see what it was all about.

Once we got home I checked my email and she had sent me pictures from their day. I couldn't believe it, we wore the same outfit! Same black tank top and same scarf! How funny! How on earth did we pick out the same outfit for the same day! I really shouldn't be too surprised, we do most things alike, so why not wear the same outfit!

I love you Sis, can't wait to see you at Christmas!
