Happy Birthday Sweet Reagan!

Reagan celebrated her 8th birthday on Sunday! She had such an amazing day! She has grown into such a wonderful, sweet, and caring young lady! It's so hard to imagine that she is already 8 years old...the years are flying by! She started the morning with presents, and a special pancake birthday celebration. We were later able to go and get manicure/pedicures, followed by Uncle Paul, Aunt Lydia, Kourtney, Rylea, Racheal, and Reese coming to visit! Reagan chose to go to Maggiano's to celebrate her birthday. We had lots of fun, and I think she had a wonderful birthday!

First Day of School!!!

Today was the first day of school! Reagan started Second grade and Hudson started Kindergarten today! I can't believe that they are both in "big school" now! Both of them are super excited about the year, and I can't wait to hear how the first day goes! It is super nice to have them both at the same school again!

Happy Early Birthday Emily and Reagan!

Since Reagan and Emily's birthdays are close together and not too far away, we decided to have a family birthday party at the beach! Reagan will turn 8 on August 31st, and Emily will turn 10 on September 2nd. We had cake and, of course, presents! The girls both got Isabelle, the American Girl Doll of the year with some accessories! They had fun playing with their new toys together on vacation!

Our Final Summer Trip!

We made one final trip this summer to visit Warren and Emily in North Carolina. My parents were already there, so we decided to rent a beach house and have some fun! Sarah and Noah were also able to come and enjoy the beach house! Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of us at the beach, but I will tell you that we all had a lot of fun. We all came back with some bruises/scrapes from boogie boarding, and a little sun! We went and visited the NC Aquarium that also had a butterfly exhibit. It was absolutely amazing! The kids got to meet Belle, Warren's precious dog, and loved Belle's kennel.....I walked into the living room one afternoon and found them both inside the kennel! We ended our visit with a Durham Bulls game. Hopefully we can make this a yearly family vacation!

Extra Beach Pics!

We had a disposable waterproof camera that we took to the beach and got some random beach pics....These pictures are from the Bahamas, Castaway Cay and Clearwater Beach. We all love the beach, and enjoy the water and sand! We have one more beach trip scheduled this summer, and we can't wait to get there!
