Reagan's First Cheer Game!











Reagan had her first football game that she cheered for over the weekend. She cheers for a flag football team, and was very excited to be cheering for the boys!! It was quite hot outside, but we all made it! The game included a run through sign, four full quarters, and a halftime that included a performance by the cheerleaders! It was fun and we got to listen to cheers all the way home!

Cousins!







We had the pleasure of having Uncle Paul, Aunt Lydia, Kourtney, Ryleigh, Rachel, and Reese come to visit us on Friday evening. Of course, the kids had a blast. They loved playing and getting the attention of their older cousins! Hudson was a bit outnumbered with all the girls, but he didn't seem to mind!

Fireman in Training!


Reagan and Hudson had a lot of fun playing on Hudson's tricycle. Hudson does not do much walking in the house these days....he would rather ride the tricycle! As he gets a little bigger and stronger, I'm afraid that we will have to take the trike back outside so that our walls and doors can be spared! He and Reagan figured out a way to both ride. He climbed on back and rode. I don't know how many times they went around the island in the kitchen. I was getting dizzy just watching them. Hudson seemed to think he was a fireman hanging on the back of his "fire truck!" Reagan said she was the bus driver and going as fast as she could. They ended with several "sugars" and were very sweet! We are so lucky that they play together well (they also fight with each other well), and love to be around each other!

Happy Rain Dance!











We awoke this morning to a very happy surprise...it was raining! The kids both went outside and did a happy rain dance. It has been quite some time since they have seen any rain. Although we didn't get much rain, anything that we got was much appreciated!

We had the opportunity to go to a fun summertime Birthday party that included a great waterslide! The kids loved it and love Birthday parties. Reagan is anxiously awaiting her own! Happy Birthday Garrett!

Fireworks at Disney




Disney has fireworks daily at their theme parks, and we got to watch a beautiful presentation of them one evening while there. If you look closely at these pictures, you can see Cinderella's castle in the background behind the fireworks. Our trip to Disney was amazing and truly magical! It was exhausting too, but very much worth it! Hopefully, there will be a trip back in the future!

Disney Junior Live





Two of Reagan and Hudson's favorite shows to watch on TV are "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and "Jake and the Neverland Pirates." Both of these are on the Disney Junior channel. We were lucky enough to see a live production that included both of these shows. Reagan was spellbound....
