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!

Next Stop, St. Louis

After spending 4 days in Iowa, we drove to St. Louis which was about a 4 1/2 hour drive. We met everyone at his Grandma's and finished out the week there. They had tons of things planned for us to do, of course eating Roma's pizza was on top of the list. Since Dustin and I have never been up in the arch, everyone decided to take a trip up there. It was interesting, I guess I didn't really know what to expect. The ride up there was a little scary, it was about a 5 person enclosed cart that took you all the way up. Then once you get to the top there is a walkway with windows all around to look out. Pretty neat, but after about 10 minutes I was ready to go back down!












They took Reagan out to visit a real farm where she was supposed to chase the chickens, but I think she just stood from the gate and looked at them.







Later in the week we all went to Cardinal game, which turned out to last way longer than we thought. There was a rain delay so the game started almost 2 hours later than scheduled. Luckily Uncle Lance knew someone who had a suite, so we were able to take Reagan and Dylan up there so they could have a little more freedom.















And who can go to a Cardinal game and not build a bear? Not Reagan! So she got to make her very first build a bear and she loves it! Thanks Pops, for my new Cardinal bear!




























Then once again, Reagan had another birthday party. They all threw Reagan a wonderful party at Grandma Snider's house and there was a great turn out. We had tons of food, had a tie dye contest, played games (not washers, but I can't think of the names), ate cake and opened presents!

















































































Thanks Grandma and Honey for all the delicious homemade breakfast's and dinners. Thanks everyone for all the help and presents at Reagan's party, we had a blast! Can't wait to see you all again!

Where Do I Start?

Today it has officially been a whole entire month since the last time I posted a blog! Once we left for vacation, I think I just gave up on trying to blog. Things became alot busier I guess and I just haven't felt like blogging. Once the day is over and Reagan is in bed, I find myself crawling in bed right next to her. I think it also has to do with the terrible, horrible 105% hot Texas weather, it's killing me!

But I must go back and add some pictures from our trip to Iowa and St. Louis. We had a great time visiting both sides of our family. The last time anyone on Darrin's extended side has seen Reagan she was 3 months old and my family has never met her. So this was a special time for all of them to get to see and enjoy Reagan, as well as spending some nice time with family. First we spent some time in Iowa. They threw her a wonderful birthday party, we hung out with my Grandma and Grandpa and indulged in some famous Iowa corn!
