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!

Reagan's Birthday/Going Away Party!

I wanted to do a little something for Reagan before we left, but I wasn't really sure what. Her birthday is still 2 months away, but I knew we wouldn't do much for her once we left. I thought about maybe just doing a going away party instead of making it "birthday." She had gone to a few birthday parties while we were home and would say, "Reagan's going to have a party too."

So, I just decided to celebrate her birthday now, as opposed to waiting. She wouldn't know that that it was June, not August. As long as there were cupcakes, balloons, presents and her best friends, thats all that was important to her.






























































































































































We had so much fun! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Reagan's 3rd birthday! Now she's going to be 3 for a long time!

That night we went to On The Border for some real Tex Mex before heading out. I was craving it and knew it would be awhile before I had it. We had a great time and left stuffed!

We Love Aunt Mae Mae!

Before I get too far behind, I need to catch up on our last week in town. We had so much going on, not to mention all the packing I had to do.

My sister came in town Tuesday through Thursday. We spend Tuesday just hanging out, Wednesday we shopped all day and then Thursday we spent the day out by the pool. Reagan has been such a pool rat lately, she loves being out there. I had to post all the pictures I took at the pool because her expressions are just so cute. You can tell she was just having a blast out there with her Aunt Mae Mae.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had so much fun Memorial Day weekend that I didn't really take too many pictures. On Saturday night we went out to Papppadeaux's for dinner and on Sunday we had a going away party for us/graduation party for Lance. Everyone had such a good time, but not one person took any pictures! At dinner on Saturday we took this picture, it's our first one together since leaving the hospital. 3 out of 4 looking, not bad!

She's All Packed & Ready to Go

I have been doing a lot of packing lately. Packing for Houston this weekend and packing for our big move. (which I need to blog about) As I was packing a few things, I walked in and saw this.


I thought it was so cute. She had all the things important to take with her. She said, "I got all my stuff. Going on a trip to the airport to get Daddy."

She just kept taking stuff out and adding it to her box.





Stacking one thing on top of the other.

Of course she had her toy story toys, barbie and ken, a book, paper, her mini nail polishes, a microphone, flip flops, an elmo book, lipstick, boogie wipes, her purse, her princess slippers,

a play potty,

her doctor's kit,



Pogo the monkey, Rex, Lotso and her plate and bowl. I should have gone though her bag to look at what else was in there. But I think it's safe to say she is all packed and ready to go!
