Merry Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve at G&G Newman's. Reagan got a new baby doll. I think it's a winner!

I told Reagan to go look out the window to see if she could see Santa and Rudolph flying thru the sky. She looked for a long while and was sad b/c she couldn't find them!

We spent Christmas morning with Brent, Courtney, Gavin, G& G Newman and Uncle Lappy. Here the kids are waiting before going out to see what Santa left them.
Thanks Meena & Bapa for my CD player. I love it!
Now Brock can be a true "baller". Although he already thinks he is.
My husband is so AMAZING! He knows me all too well. I gotta need for the Chai smoothie. He bought me 10 lbs of the good stuff. It should last a year for most people but I'm sure it will only last a few months for me. I had Courtney hold one up with me b/c I converted her. She's also hooked!

Blink and Duffies (sp?)!!! Brent was the master cook but Brock tried to stand in there and pretend like he had something to do with cooking them.

Christmas morningChristmas dinner at Johny D's! Another fun filled event with lots of games, food, and laughs!

Congratulations to the Rogers' newest college Grad!

Way to go Momma Cass! Go Sundevils!

Reagan is hanging out with Paije while visiting in AZ. Poor girl. I hope she doesn't end up wanting to be a singer. She definitely has no hope in getting any music genes from Brock or myself.

"Fun games" are Reagan's reward for a "pleasant dinner time". I wish we could say we get to play the games every night but unfortunately "fun games" does not happen as much as I would like!

Rain, Rain...please don't go away!

For the past few days Brock has been telling Reagan that a big storm is coming and when it comes they get to go out and play in the puddles. For the past three mornings Reagan looks out the window and asks Brock if today is the day. Well, Today was the day. The big storm finally came and Brock got Reagan out of bed, all bundled up, with "brella" and rain boots and they hit the puddles!

Ready, set, jump!Brock, of course, enjoys all the kid stuff more than Reagan

does so he blasted thru a few puddles himself.

HB 7th ward Christmas Party

It's very rare that we go out with our friends, without the kids. This year again our husbands hooked us up with a fun Christmas "night on the town" without the chitlins. We had a delish dinner at the Rusty Pelican and then hit the movies. Thanks Brock!!!

Crap and Randy.....

I just opened up my blog page and saw the baby countdown picture....the baby's head is down. That's where "crap and randy" comes into play. I'm only a few weeks away. At first I had a big smile on my face upon realizing my baby is getting into launching position and then it hit me. He/She is really coming. Wow, things are really going to change around here! Bring on the sleepless nights!!! I'm so excited to have another amazing miracle in our home!

"Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!"

"Yea Dad, that's a good one!"
"mmmm.....Actually, this one smells a little better. I think we should go with this one!" Reagan thinks, at 2 1/2, she's got this Christmas thing down.

Thanks Kelli and Steve for inviting us to the desert with all the fam!

Brock, Regan, Uncle CK, & Aunt Brookelynn

Brock gathered all the kids to make "tunnels" in the sand at he park. I'm pretty sure he enjoyed it more than the kids did. Oh the glory days!

Reagan's new "Big Girl Bed" November 22nd

I was pretty sure that making the big move from crib to bed was going to be a process. As you can see, she is a big fan of the big girl bed. We told her that when the new baby comes she is going to get a new bed and the baby is going to sleep in her crib. We decided to get the bed together sooner and as soon as we were done she looked at her bed and then said, "Mommy, where's the baby?" I about died. I then had to tell her that we decided to get her the bed early, before the baby gets here.

Weee! November 22nd

Reagan and her neighbor friends, Claire and Sierra, have become quite creavtive in turning our courtyard into a playground. Dad gets mad when the girls pick all the flowers and berries to play kitchen and make the trees into swings but I love it. It's so cool to see their creative juices flowing. There's just some things we don't tell dad while he's away at work.
