Happy 4th of July 2009

The holiday started off with my sweet friend Nora inviting me over for a festive 4th of July pedicure party. She painted all of our toes with stars and stripes. When I got home Reagan thought it was the coolest so of course she needed some fancy star toes too. I took a picture of both of our toes but I don't know what I was thinking.....like I'm ever going to show a picture of my toes. Fortunately Reagan got lucky and didn't get cursed with my long duck dong toes.

The day started off with the traditional 5k run. Easton's first year!

On your marks!

This year Reagan even ran a bit! Go Ragguzies!

Here she comes through the finish line

Thumbs up girl!

Time for the parade at the Hixon's house for the big party. Aaron always delivers....a red meat lover's dream come true. Aaron takes BBQing to a whole new level. Thanks Hixon's for another memorable year!

Me and Eastie watching the parade

Buster's first 4th!

Brock's bro Bruce and family joined us in HB

Brock bought some fireworks for the kids so we could have a pre-fireworks showUncle Bru Cru this pic is especially for you! Did you get enough face time on the blog? Thanks for coming out we has a fun 4th with you and your family!!We're on our way to go watch the fireworks at the beach. Brock, you are a trooper! Gotta love those dads! He's packed like a mule and he even has a bum knee.Watching fireworks with our cousins, the Blads, and the Banks

We miss Carter!

Every summer Carter comes to visit our neighbors. We have so much fun with him for the few weeks he's here. He and Reagan are BFFs during this time and can't get enough of each other. It's always sad when he leaves.

Brock pulled Reagan and Carter on the boogie board about 10 times each. They loved it. I love the wipe out at the end.

This was one of Reagan's prizes from a friend's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. Reagan kept trying to put them on Easton herself so we finally had to do it for her.

Reagan "reading" to Easton

I thought it was so funny how Reagan thought it was so hilarious when she could get Easton to laugh.

The best part about this picture is that Reagan had to be just like daddy when they were planting the flowers. She had to have her running shoes on, gloves, a red shirt, and jeans. If she could have found her hat she would have had that on too. She loves herself some daddy! We were trying to get her to not be so scared of bugs and Brock said she could even have a cookie for breakfast if she would touch a worm but she would have nothing to do with that. Man did she ever want that cookie but she just couldn't get herself to touch the worm.

Happy Father's Day Brock!!

Here we are at Brock's Father's Day breakfast. I was really glad that he requested strawberry crepes this year instead of creamed tuna on toast.

As I was making dinner for Brock's Father's Day I looked over and saw that these two had fallen a sleep. They looked so cute. After checking on Easton and seeing how peaceful he looked I started to think it was Mother's Day bc my sweet little family was fast asleep and it was nice to have a totally quiet home.

Bye Claire and Sierra

Reagan's buddies Claire and Sierra moved away. She is so sad. Here is the last picture I took of them all together. If it's been more than a week that we've seen any of her friends she asks me if they too have moved away. So we go visit her friends just to reassure her that all of her friends have not left her.

This was so fun. We got to ride this great little train for Ike's birthday party. Brock was gonna just take Reagan but I wanted to ride it too. It was really fun!!

We finally put Easton in his Bumbo chair. Easton didn't love it so much. He kept trying to back bend out of it. But Reagan thought it was the coolest thing ever. She thought he looked so funny. She laughed uncontrollably for over 5 minutes.

I think Easton has a ways to got before he fits into his new hat.

Primary Pool Party

Regan's favorite is the Jacuzzi (June 9th)

This is a picture taken of us from the Jacuzzi. Wish I could have been in but I was just as happy getting to hold Buster on the side line.

What we've been up to...

A much over due girls trip! My college buds Amy Gant, Tennille Smith, & Jen Sumner (we missed our bud Alison bc she's ripe with child) hit the road and we spent the weekend at this fabulous resort in Palm Springs. It was amazing. But really we could have gone anywhere as long at we were unencumbered and free to talk as long as we wanted. How great to sleep in and stay up late to watch movies. Going out to eat and not have to order my meal based on what Reagan could share with me, lay out at the pool, read, swim, was fabulous!! Just to be able to sit and talk for hours and catch up on our lives and laugh and laugh about all the crazy things we did in college was priceless.

Amy is taking up a new hobby, photography, she was trying out some shots on us. It was fun to pretend like we were young again and do some crazy model poses. Jen and Tennille know all the lingo from America's Next Model so we were trying it all out.

Reagan's fort made by daddio. And of course Reagan had to have all her stories read to her in her new little house.

I thought this was funny bc I didn't know where it came from or what was in Reagan's mouth. The crazy things Dad and Ragu do while I'm away. I finally realized what's in her mouth today bc she did the same thing when I gave her some string cheese for lunch. Who knew string cheese could be so fun and so delicious all at once?

I thought it would be cute to see if Easton would sit on this chair for a picture and then Reagan said "OK mommy my turn" So as you can see in the picture below she sat in the chair and posed for her own picture.

Happy Memorial Day. This is the only picture I remembered to take of the day but it's pretty accurate when describing our day b/c I think Reagan only left the jumper once to eat a plate full of watermelon and then she was back to it again. We had a ward picnic at Lake Park. We had loads of fun but then it was funny bc we were sitting with a group of friends who all have kids and I think there were about 10 baby car seats in our section and then at about 1:00 the whole section cleared bc we had to all be back home for naps....that's our life. It's a love hate relationship that I have with naps! It's hard to work around them if we want to go anywhere but what a joy it is to have my kids down so I can actually sit down and not have anyone yapping in my ear for a bit.....ahhhh the sweet sound of silence!
