Reagan

Here is our feisty and sweet little Ray-Ray!  Its hard to believe she will be 5 in two weeks! 

First Manicure

We had a girls day out on Labor Day, so the boys could play computer.  I took the girls to get their first manicures.  Ray chose bright green with flowers (her new favorite color) and Madie chose purple with flowers.  I wasn’t sure how Madie would do, since she can hardly sit still and she is only two, but she loved it and did everything they told her to do (how did they do that!).  We also got chocolate milk shakes—in total I think we were gone 45 minutes, but I loved being with my girls!  Here are some pictures:

First Day of School

On August 15th, 2011, Jackson started 2nd grade and Ray started kinder!  Wow, how the time is just flying by!  I got to spend the first day of kindergarten with Reagan—they had a little scavenger hunt and we scoped out the kinder scene together—she was so excited they had swings and she had so much fun wearing her new twinkle toe shoes and having a snack at her new school. 

Jackson is a pro and barely gave me a hug as he ran to see all his friends.  So excited for them, but sad that summer had to end so quickly—will miss them here during the day!

Here is a picture of the three of them:

75 percentile!!

 

So we finally have a baby that is on the charts!  Lincoln is 8 months, 29 inches and 21 pounds! Wow—that puts him at the 96 percentile for height and 75 percentile for weight.  Is this my baby?  At 8 months Jackson weighed 33lbs and was almost tall enough to ride the Matterhorn at Disneyland (not quite, but you see what I am getting at…). 

He is also our first baby to crawl…he started moving at 7 months…

What in the world?

This picture sums up our little Madie.  At the beginning of this year, right after Lincoln was born, the kids were with their grandma while I went to get my hair done.  Denni turned around for one second and in the next second when she found Madie, she had colored her eyes bright green.  Our wild child…

Welcome

My little nephew, Caden Austin, was born at the beginning of this month.  He was 8lbs 8oz (big boy).    He is adorable.  We can’t wait to meet him in October!  Congratulations Austin and Elise!!

What?

My little four year old’s soccer team is the Vegas Flamingoes?  Really??  Don’t get me wrong, I love Vegas because my dear brother, sis-in-law and new little nephew live there, but… I want to see my little girl in a pink or purple little soccer get-up with bows in her hair, not the “Fabulous Las Vegas” sign flashing as she races across the soccer field (I know, my kids don’t race, they mosey—but, you get my drift). 

Honestly, what is the first thing you think of when you see the “Fabulous Las Vegas” sign?—probably not a little girl’s soccer team.  I am just saying….
