Dance Recital
Reagan's first dance recital (or what you would refer to as dance-smile) was this past week. Her song Once Upon a Dream, so of course they are our little Cinderellas. While they don't do much "dancing", the audience loved them because, of course, how could you resist this.....

Chalk Art Festival
Last night we decided to venture to the Chalk Art Festival at Gateway. This is sponsered by Utah Foster Care to raise awareness. We rode TRAX down to entertain Reagan. (mostly a waste of money and time since you could drive home 3 over the time it takes you on that thing). The weather was perfect. We had a nice dinner at then walked the streets to look at all the art that was being done. I'm sure it would be much cooler to see them completed, but we enjoyed looking at them in the process and SO amazing that these artists can do this with chalk, fingers, and paintbrushes. However, a dirty hobby!
We ended the night with a sweet treat and joined the mass amounts of kids running through the fountains.

Cute!
When I picked Reagan up from daycare today she was so excited to show me her "daddy book". I didn't look at it until we got home, and when she gave it to Mike she said "Haaaapy Father's Day" (ahhhhh). We were laughing so hard when we read it. I took pictures and I'll translate. Apparently, they must have questioned her because there is no way they would know most of these things! I'll interpret for you.
My Dad is 1 years old. He weighs 5 lbs and is 2 ft tall. His hair is black and his eyes are blue (hey, 2 out of 5 isn't bad!)
The favorite thing my dad likes to do is play toys with me. He likes to wear...pants!
Daddy always tells me go in time out, wear those things when you ride the bike
When my daddy goes shopping he loves to buy...me a scooter for my birthday -see PS at end of post....
I really love it when my dad...tickles my neck (it's true!! she's loved this since she was a bitty baby)
P.S. In reference to the blasted scooter which is her current obsession....yes, we did buy her the exact one she wanted last weekend for her upcoming birthday and CRAPOLA we forgot to put it away and when Aunt Heidi brings her home later that day she instantly see the thing. She's screaming "oh my goodness" while covering her mouth with her hand and her eyes are just glowing and it's the sweetest thing but on the inside I'm swearing up a storm.
She gets sidetracked and I stick it....under the bed. Safe enough place right? I mean, she's 2/3. So tonight I'm trying to find a duffel bag......under the bed!!!!! You know the result. She wants to be like me, goes around to the other side....and... "oh, oh, is this my scooter". We say, "No, it's not, it's just an empty box. We have to take that in and get you a real one if you are really good. Your birthday is in one week". Then...she proceeds to SHAKE the
#@$%#$ box!!!
"No sir, it's in there, I can feel it, see, I can hear it" SERIOUSLY GIRL...YOU ARE KILLING US!!!! So now her main present isn't much of a surprise. I'm totally bummed but hey, she'll get what she wanted and maybe she'll still get all silly and cute about it.

Song Bird II
Another round of a few cute songs. As soon as I can edit all her dancing ones I will post one of that. She has the best rump shake going on!!
The last clip on there is one of her "fixing" my hair. This is sometimes an obsession of Reagan's. She'll fix anyone's hair that will let her. Grandma Judy always gets "Shrek" ponies, Daddy has been told to "grow his hair out" and Aunt Heidi is always a patient participant. She has literally been able to put a real pony tail in hair since last year. It's crazy. She'll twist it 20 times and wa-la, a beautiful pony tail. We bought her one of those creepy heads for Christmas but she'd much rather put a human through the torture!
A busy, fun-filled weekend
What a busy weekend!! My niece, Kaitlin (Matt's daugther) turned eight last month. She was baptized on Saturday and so we had a fun-filled weekend with family. My sister Heather and her family came down for the event and stayed with us. My sister Aroha and her family were also able to come down and stayed with Heidi. Kaitlin's baptism was great and we are so proud of her. We had a yummy lunch at Matt's house after the event and were able to hang out with Yvette's family as well as my own. Friday, we braved the zoo in the rain but it was actually very pleasant weather and the animals were all out. The kids loved it. We were also able to spend some time swimming and enjoying the kids (mostly) playing peacefully together.
We enjoy the company and love of family. In the end, that is what will matter most. Thank you to all my family for loving me and my family enough to want to make memories with!
(P.S. I have no idea why I can't get these pictures straightened out but the one on the left is a picture of Rea and I (with her cheesy smile) in our skirts my mom made us for my birthday. They are so cute and Reagan just loves to dance in hers. My mom had made a skirt for all the grand-daughters early this spring and they were so cute she is talented enought to "supersize" the pattern. Thanks mom!!

We spent Memorial weekend in Idaho at Mike's parents. His sister Sara and her family were there also and we spent (ok, well the boys spent) the weekend building a cover for their patio. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great. They got it up with enough time to spare and took the kids fishing while the girls, well, what else, we crafted.
A sweet moment
What the boys worked on
What Cooper "worked" on
Cooper, Grandpa Buster, Grandma Pat and Reagan
If the fish aren't biting...I may as well pose
Cooper caught the only fish much to Reagan's disappointment. However, they both enjoyed eating it!

The Avid Reader
So to relate to my prior reading post, I um, was dying to finish a book the other night so I sat at the table after we were "mostly" finished eating and read. The next night, while we were eating, Reagan went and got a book (she enjoyed The Choice by Nicholas Sparks).
