After eating the first two pieces of bread herself, Reagan finally caught on to the concept of throwing the bread and actually feeding the fish

Whooo hooo!

Making "cooks" with mommy in my new apron

We painted Reagan's nails today for the first time. Of course she chose pink, her favorite color. Now she looks at every one's toes and wants to see if they have nail polish too!

Disneyland September 6, 2008

We met Adam & Nicole Clark and their kids along with Pete and Lindsey Fisher & their kids for dinner at Disneyland. While waiting for them Reagan decided to get her groove on.

September 5, 2008 Our Trip to La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs

Happy Labor Day!

We had a fabulous Memorial Day spent at the beach with great friends! The Blads, Kochs, Duncans, Bradshaws, & Sundbergs all were there. The guys played "frisbee challenge" all day and the ladies just got to chill and chat while the kids were busy wallowing in the sand. What a mess but sooooo much fun! We topped the day off with TK burger and it just doesn't get any better than that!

Brent, Courtney, & newest cousin Gavin came to visit

I just melted when I saw this picture. I am so excited for Reagan to be a big sissy! As you can see she is pretty excited herself.

One of Reagan's newest tricks is the summersault but her favorite is when Daddy does it with her. We were hanging out at the Pier/Beach with Brent, Courtney, & Gavin

My first day of "Mommy & Me" Preschool!

"Snack Time!" When they announced it was time for snacks Reagan B-lined it to the table and sat down all excited and patient for her snack. She learned quickly in nursery that the first one seated is the first one to get food. She aint no dummy!

The school has so many fun activities for the day. It's great b/c the teacher has all these stations like fishing, little tubs to practice washing babies, painting, playing in birdseed, playing house, project time, reading time, play-doh, blocks and on and on. It's really great b/c I feel like she can explore so many new things without me having to buy all these different things on my own.

I just thought this picture was too cute. It actually made me sad b/c she looks so old here. It was hard enough for me to do this preschool so young, even thought I am there the whole time, but I just can't believe she's old enough to go to "school"

We are on our way to our first day of preschool. We had to wake Reagan up b/c preschool starts at 9am. When Brock went to get her our of her crib he told her that we are going to go to preschool and she got sooooo excited she ran in to the kitchen and said "Mommy, I'm going to preschool today!" I said, "yes we are." "Here's your toast for breakfast and she said no mommy, no breakfast we have to go to preschool. Hurry mommy get your shoes, let's go!" Today Brock went with us because I hurt my back. What a great husband. He took the day off and took care of us all day. Preschool is every Thursday for 3 hours. The moms go and we even have a parenting class the last 45 minutes of class. We love it so much. We even get to take it with our good friends the Lucas' and the Holmes'.

As you can see Reagan loves song time! Lately she always wants me to do all the dances and songs with her. She does the same thing when we are at Story Time at the Library. By the end of the day she finally caught on that I was a cripple for the day b/c of my back and stopped trying to get me to all the dances and songs.

Our yearly ward beach bonfire corn roast

Before the bonfire started we spent the day at the beach with Cami Milius and Jane Decker and of course all the other kids too.

Here we are that afternoon with all our friends in the ward just eating dogs, playing frisbee and chattin it up with everyone

Hanging out with my good buds Breanna and Delaney

Brock's hike to Havasupai Falls with the Boy Scouts

All the leaders: Ryan Blad, Tyler Banks, Steve Terry, Brock, & Adam Koch
Here are all the guys. Isn't this waterfall sweet!

I think we're feeling the Olympic spirit.

We can't believe it's already been 3 years. Here we are enjoying our last week with them before they move back to Zion.

Well, It's obvious Bailey and Lizzy are legit swimmers with their caps and goggles. All that's missing is the full length speed swimsuits.

Then to top off the "Spirit of the Olis" (HB Style or better yet Brock and, his accomplice Ian, style....not to dis all of us normal HBers) they think they can give Michael Phelps a run for his money. Of course of all of his events they thought they'd pick a "do-able" event like the 200 Medley. After asking me the order of the strokes, they attempted the first length. Brock said he was doing backstroke but I'm still not sure if that's really what it was. Ten minutes later they finally finished. I couldn't tape the whole thing b/c on the second lap of the breaststroke Reagan jumped in after Brock, in an attempt to save her drowning father. I had to stop taping and jump in the water because dad couldn't stop in the middle of his "big event". He didn't want to mess up his time. He thought he was in contention for not only the gold medal but also the world record.

Hanging out on Main Street....just waiting for story time to start.

Make a wish! "Mommy, can I have another penny please!"
Just Chillaxin.......with crazy BIG bear.

The Street Fair on Main St.

Here we are at the Street Fair on Main Street. One of our family Favs! Every Tuesday afternoon until dark they block off Main Street and have a big fair/ farmer's market type of deal. It's so much fun. We just stroller down or ride our bikes and fill up on all the fruit samples and get dinner and stuff. Reagan always loves it when we get to the end b/c her favorite booth is the fresh roasted peanuts in the shell. We buy a bag and spend our whole walk home breaking peanut shells open for Reagan and listening to her moan yummies to her little stomach's content.

We weren't sure if Reagan would be able to climb up this herself but then after a few tries and watching the other kids she finally made it up. When she got to the top and could slide down it was all worth the effort. As you can see she loved it. After a while she caught on that you could just climb up the face of the slide and keep going down over and over again instead of having to get off and go around to the back and climb up. When she first climbed up the face of the slide we saw her at the top and than plop she fell off the back side. She didn't realize how thin it was at the top. Brock and I bolted over to the other side. Luckily she was fine...just a little spooked. Now every time we pass Main Street she says, "Mommy I fell off the slide but daddy got me."

We stopped to listen to this cover band. Reagan was diggin it. I think she started to become some to the entertainment herself.

Turtles!

Reagan loved the turtles at the "Reptile Zoo" the most because her favorite books are the Franklin the Turtle series. I thought the snakes and iguanas might freak her out but she loved it all.
