Taylor Swift

It's no secret we all love Taylor Swift around here, in fact I think Reagan comes pretty close to being her #1 fan. We were finally able to replace our old Taylor CD with her new one. Her new CD came out today so I took Reagan to get it and she was so excited! Taylor is coming to San Diego this weekend for a concert, I wonder if Reagan is still too young for concerts? :)

Here is a video of her just reading and talking to her CD cover. She has looked at it and talked to it all day! So cute!

All the songs on the CD are really good, but "Never Grow Up" just brings me to tears. Such a sweet song.

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart

And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies

And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off

At 14 there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

Remember that she's getting older too

And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred

And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment

In a big city, they just dropped me off

It's so much colder that I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up

I wish I'd never grown up

Congratulations Morgan & David! He is absolutely perfect, and looks just like his older brother! I know you guys are in heaven with your new little blessing and I can't wait to meet him!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Thank you for all that you do for us. We are so grateful to have such a hard working, loving man in our lives. We hope you have a wonderful day today! Here's to another great year and being the last in your 20's!

23 Weeks

Today I had another sonogram appointment to check the low lying placenta and the insertion of the cord. The placenta is still low, if I was to go into labor now I would have to have a c-section, but it does seem like it has moved a little and it may continue to do so. I have to go back every 4 weeks for an ultrasound to check the movement and the cord. It's kinda fun because we get to see our little guy every time we go in! He is growing right on track, measuring at 23 weeks and 5 days and a little over a pound!

I have tons of pictures to post from our Disney trip last weekend, we had a wonderful time and it was nice to have 3 whole days of family fun!

Sunday Funday!

Phew, that was a long 2 weeks! And I am sure it was even longer for Darrin! He was having to work from 6am to 9pm everyday and then wait in line for about an hour or longer to cross the border. He always works on Saturdays, but last week he even worked on Sunday. It was TERRIBLE! Our days seemed so long and it took everything I had to think of errands to run, places to go and things to do. But, its over and I am now more appreciative of the time we do have together. I used to complain about his work schedule before, him not getting home until 6:30ish and working on Saturdays, but now I am looking forward to having him home at 6:30. We can actually have dinner again together!

It made me really think about the military wives who have to go months without seeing or even speaking to their husbands. I don't know how they do it. Not to mention, having to worry about their safety. It would be a really hard situation and I am grateful it isn't us.

This morning when we woke up Reagan noticed Darrin wasn't in the bed. (she is sleeping with us, I will save that for a post on its own) Every morning when she wakes up the first thing she says is, "where Daddy go?" I always say, "he's at work, he will be home later." But today I yelled from the bed "gruuun," (which is what we call each other grun) and he came into the room. Usually we can just give Reagan some milk and she falls right back asleep, but today she was not even trying to go to sleep. She had her eyes on her Daddy the entire time making sure he was not leaving. It was so sweet, you could tell she had really missed her Daddy. After about 30 minutes we decided to just get up and go have breakfast.

We had breakfast at our favorite spot, Mission Beach Cafe. Then we walked the beach for a little bit, it was kinda drizzly so we didn't stay out to long. Then before we came home we stopped at a small little pumpkin patch to let Reagan look around at the pumpkins. The weather was terrible, so I didn't even bother with getting to many pictures. Here are a few of her and her pumpkin and her and Daddy feeding the goats.

She has a new cheese and I am not a fan!

Here she is telling the goat, "NO NO GOAT!" She had some food and he was getting to close to her, she kept wanting him to get back!

Again, "No No goat!" She thought he was to close to Daddy.

Boo-tiful!

San Diego Zoo

Last weekend Tache and I took the girls to the Zoo. Nicky was on a fall break and Friday the zoo was allowing kids to get in for free, so we decided to make a day of it. We had a great time, the weather was perfect and we were there for almost 8 hours. Reagan did great, she only had 2 meltdowns, which was because she didn't want to be in the stroller, but she didn't want to walk either. Which is our typical fights now a days, she wants to be held at all times and clearly I can not hold her for 8 hours of walking the zoo.

So twice, I just had to just strap her in the stroller and be that mom with the crazy, loud screaming, tantrum throwing child and pretend like I didn't even care what my child is doing. Other than that we had a great time!

I love these pictures.

Reagan LOVES her baby, everything she saw or did she had to make sure baby saw it too. She would say, "see baby, see?"

The zebras are one of my favorite animals. I just think their skin is so unique and they are so interesting looking.
