October 2009

So, these pictures are really late. But, I could not figure out how to get them from the laptop onto this computer. Jason finally did it for me, so now I can post these fun pictures. Jason had a conference in Dallas in October and we got to visit with his aunt, uncle, and cousins. The girls just LOVE them. And, I'm sure you can see why from the pictures below. They are such a sweet family!!

Reagan opening one of her favorite birthday presents ever - the zebra skirt! For anyone who has seen Reagan in the last 5 months, you know that she LOVES this skirt. She wears it just about everyday. Uncle Brad & Reese Sweet Kitty Leah & Reagan making music

Playing with Uncle Brad If Uncle Brad looks a little familiar, you may have seen him on Friday Night Lights. He plays Buddy Garrity.

Thea & Reese Brad, Reese, me, Jason, & Freda - sorry for the terrible focus, but this was the only group shot I had

Reese in Action

Dancing

New Tooth

She's growing up so fast!  She's cruising all over the place, saying a few words, signing a few words, and understanding so much.  Today, she and Daddy were playing ball in the hall and the ball rolled into the living room.  She went around the corner and came back without the ball.  Daddy said, "Where's the ball?"  She turned around and came back with it.  She also gives sweet kisses if you ask for them.    

***I just showed Jason this post and he watched the videos.  Reese was sitting here and heard it.  Then, she crawled over to the book and started playing the songs and dancing again.  She's too cute!

Fun Fall Weekend

We had a great fun-filled weekend.  Boo at the Zoo, a Pumpkin Patch, the Ortho Picnic, and CityFest.  Whew!    

Friday night, we went to Boo at the Zoo.  The kids get to dress up and go trick-or-treating at the Zoo.  But, it was ridiculously cold, so I didn't put the girls in their costumes.  They just wore lots of layers (which Reagan does everyday anyway).  Reese wore her footy pjs and a big fur coat.  As most of you know Reagan has to wear a dress everyday.  And, she got a new skirt from Aunt Freda (tutu like with layers of zebra print) that she also wants to wear everyday.  So, she wears the skirt under whatever dress she is wearing.  Jason gave me a hard time about the girls' lack of costumes, but I told him we had a sleepy Eskimo and a bag-lady. 

The Sleepy Eskimo

The Bag-lady

Saturday morning we went to BoBrook Farms Pumpkin Patch.  We had a great time.  They had a hay maze, a hay ride, face painting, and lots of pumpkins.  

My little scarecrows!

Hayride

Check out her handles as she rides on Daddy's shoulders.  She gets a death-grip on his ears!

Pumpkin Princesses

Getting their faces painted

The Ortho Dept. had their annual picnic this weekend at Maumelle Park.  Reagan got to play with one of the other Ortho wives, Amy.  She had Amy at the swings, the slide, down by the river, you name it.  And, afterward she kept asking if Amy could come over to play.

Reagan with Amy

On Sunday afternoon, we made our way to the North Little Rock Riverwalk for CityFest.  They had several Christian artists performing.  But, they also had a neat kids area with several bounce houses and slides and even a little show with Bob & Larry.

Daddy, Reagan, & Bob the Tomato

I'm back!

Our desktop - may it rest in peace - is no longer with us.  It went kaput.  We are now waiting on our new Dell with Windows 7.  Yea!!  

Sorry again for the long absence.  Jason has been busy studying on the laptop, so I don't get much access to it to update the blog.  But, I'm back!  Hopefully no more long breaks.  And, I apologize in advance - I've got lots of pictures to come!!  

Our Little Ballerina

Last week was parent observation day in Reagan's dance class.  She wanted me to sit right beside her and hold her hand.  But, she did eventually let go and dance.  Check out the cute pictures of Reagan and Alex (in pigtails in front of her).
