Catching Up

I will get there eventually.

More pool days. Lately Michael is planting our lawn so we don't get to go in the backyard often. :( Hopefully soon though we will be back out there and swimming up a storm.

These pictures are pre-lawn planting. Raegan gets bored quickly in her little pool if she is by herself. Cue the friends she didn't know she had  (and doesn't always deserve because she steals toys and doesn't share). Chloe and her new friend Boston joined us with their combined total of four boys. (Not all pictured). Good times.

Backseat Driver

Look out all you drivers out there. Raegan is hitting the streets. Not really. One of her favorite things these days is driving the car. When we get home from going anywhere (and sometimes more often than that) she always wants to sit in the drivers side and pretend she's driving. Sometimes I'll even leave her in the garage for a while. Am I the worst mom? She makes fists and moves her hands up and down to sign "car" and she says "Kai" (prounouced like Why, but with a K) Not sure why she can't say an R sound. It's really cute.  Anyway... It's always an adventure to turn on your car and find the windshield wipers going or the turn signal on. It's just a good thing she still can't reach the pedals for a while. 

Utah Trip!

Now I am really playing catch up. :) Back in January Tracy and I took the little tykes to Utah to visit my parents in their new abode. It was a snowy trip (aren't they supposed to be visiting US in winter?) But it was fun to see the new house and let them fatten us up and spoil the grandkids. 

They keep their house really cold! (By our standards)

 Raegan liked the snow. She would have really liked it with snow boots instead of shoes that get soaked and make her toes cold. :( She liked to scatter it with her hands and stomp it with her feet.

 Mack was not a big fan of the snow.

 But he was a big fan of aunt Amy and snuggle time.

 Everyone was a fan of "horsey rides". Except now any time I have my legs crossed Raegan tries to jump on.

 My parents took us to a restaurant with a great view. They also had delicious fried pickle appetizers. Who knew?

Thanks again Mom and Dad for the great trip!

Valentine's Day

A couple months later...

Here are pics of the flowers Michael sent me for Valentine's Day. He was really cute about it. He was worried all day they weren't going to come and they finally got here around 6 PM. They lasted over two weeks and they were beautiful. Thank you babe! I also wanted to showcase our new piano. Michael's grandma passed away last summer and we were lucky enough to be allowed to house her piano. Yes, it is rather large for our small house, but we are really enjoying it. Raegan refuses to let me play by myself though, so I haven't exactly gotten in as much practicing as I was hoping for.
