Fun Times!








We had the pleasure of entertaining Capt. Erwin, Mrs. Rita, Papa Bill, and Mrs. Linda on Labor Day. They were nice enough to bring Reagan some gifts for her birthday but didn't forget Hudson either. Reagan got a great Princess Memory game, coloring books, and an awesome pink blanket that was made by Mrs. Linda! She loves them all and has to sleep with the blanket on her bed every night. We have also enjoyed several games of Memory! Hudson also got some coloring books, and an awesome Fireman blanket! We loved having them over, and are so blessed that they are in our lives, and can't wait for the next visit!!

Birthday Party Fun!













We enjoyed Reagan's birthday party this weekend at Harry Myer's Splashground! Reagan and several family, friends, and classmates came to help her celebrate! The kids had a great time playing in the water, and then enjoyed hot dogs and chips! Of course, everyone enjoyed her Tinkerbell cake, and she loved all the presents!! We are so glad that she had such a special and fun party!

Happy 5th Birthday Reagan!!












August 31st means that it is Reagan's birthday! She has been counting down all month awaiting for the arrival of her birthday on the last day of August! She had a fun day that included going to school and Daddy taking her some donuts for breakfast, followed by cupcakes with her friends at school for snack time! We picked her up from school and went to her favorite Mexican food restaurant, then came home for some presents and cake! She got a new table from Nan and Da with lots of coloring books, markers and crayons, and a few other small gifts. She also got "Twinkle Toes" shoes which is just what she asked for! If you can tell by the pictures, she was quite excited about these! She had a wonderful day! We are so blessed that she is such a wonderful little girl, and it is so hard to believe that she is already five! It seems like just yesterday, she was a newborn!

First Day of New Class!




Reagan and Hudson both started "new" classes at their school on Monday, August 22nd. Reagan will be doing a year of "kinder" at her day care and then the plan is to send her to public Kinder next year. She is so excited to be learning new things and loves school! Hudson transitioned into a regular day care this summer. Both the kids are now at the same day care which is nice! He got to go to the "Toddler D" group. He is doing great and, although he still occasionally has some issues with us leaving him, he is always happy and playing when we pick him up!
