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!

Cinco de Mayo!

The weather was absolutely beautiful today so Reagan and I had a fun day of being outside. We went to this new park that we found a few weeks ago, it has a pond with some ducks. She loves to say "hi ducks, hi water!" just standing at the pond waving. However, the only thing she wants to do on the playground is swing. I try to get her to run around on the jungle gyms and go down the slide, but she just wants to swing. I feel like such a swing hogger because usually there is only 1 or 2 toddler swings and Reagan refuses to let anyone else have a turn.

After we left the park we went and ate Mexican food together. It wasn't a typical Cinco de Mayo celebration with margaritas, but at least we had chips and salsa (or chips and beans for Reagan) and then came home just in time for naps.

I couldn't resist taking pictures, I thought she looked so cute in her little Mexican dress!

Point Loma's Kidsfest

We had such a great weekend. On Saturday Darrin got off a little early, so we were able to spend a few more hours than normal with him. We headed out to a park and then went for some yogurt. We are really in a big yogurt phase, I don't think we ever eat ice cream anymore. It's great because there are tons of really good yogurt places here.

Then on Sunday morning I had an early hair appointment. I really don't think there is a much greater feeling that having your hair done. (well maybe there is, but you know what I mean) I love the place I go to here, it's an Aveda Salon and they do a great job. Every time I leave I walk out feeling like a million bucks.

Darrin and Reagan spent the morning together, and when I got home, this is what I saw.


Reagan was sleeping on the floor in the living room!! And she had been for an hour and a half! What?? I can't get her to go down that easy, much less on the living room floor! And it was 11:00, TWO hours before her usual nap time! But it worked out great because then we were able to get a head start on the day instead of waiting for her to nap.

We left around noon to grab some lunch at Corner Bakery and then decided to drive out to Point Loma. It's only about a 20 minute drive, and they were having an event out there called Kidsfest. So we went to check it out.

How sweet is this picture? I love it.

Now how funny is this picture?



Cheese!!

Now that's a real smile!

There were two seals out swimming around trying to catch some lunch.

"Biirrd!"

Another sweet sweet picture.

















Ever since Honey came she has a new love for airplanes. She loves looking up at them and waving.

"Hi plane!"





I'm not sure who's face is more priceless in these pictures, Darrin's or Reagans!










"Hi water, hi duck!"









Another plane.








After we left Kidsfest we stopped in The Tin Fish to have some appetizers. We had never been there and kept hearing about it so we decided to try it out. It was happy hour so the appetizers were 1/2 off, we ordered a few and they were wonderful! Great place to eat, I am sure we will be going back.


As soon as we put Reagan in the car and got on the highway she was out!
