Saturday night was "Midnight Madness" at Gardner Village (now's the time for anyone who is familiar with this place to say oooooooohhhh! FUN, unless of course you are of male gender and then you roll your eyes and probably dry heave a little as Mike would do). Heidi, my friend Beth, and I went for what was supposed to be an hour of fun but ended up being an "all night of fun". They have great deals, games, prizes, etc. I finally found my bed spread for our new bedroom set, and got some decor to go along with it. I was SO happy. While "the girls" were having fun shopping, laughing, shopping, etc. Mike and the not-old-enough-girl went to a park next to our house and celebrated 50's nights with tattoos, mazes, entertainment, etc. Thought I'd show you my tattoo princess!! (Oh, and I thought I'd include a picture of Beth and I after a night of exhausting fun!)

Silver Lake

We decided to take a little trip up to the mountains today to get out of the heat and enjoy the beauty Utah has to offer. These are some pictures from Silver Lake. You forget how beautiful the mountain scenery we have is and often take for granted. When we lived in Denver we were so disappointed at how far you had to drive to get what we here in Utah have in just a matter of 20 minutes. It was perfect up there. Reagan loved the little lake and looking at the animals. We had a nice little picnic when we were done and watched all the squirrels scurry around searching for food.

Family Pictures

We have never had an official family picture so my friend Beth's sister is a photographer and we went to Thanksgiving Point and had some taken. She did a great job! Of course there are several I had to post because....well, because Reagan is just so cute...so sorry for the many.

A block of cheese and a raw hotdog...what this girl will eat! Luckily, she's not a picky eater. Pretty much anything she can see or you give her goes into her mouth!

Where has summer gone?! Although it's still very hot outside, it's hard to believe that in a few short weeks the kids will be back in school and cooler weather will arrive. Here are a few pics of family from last weekend.

Emmett - isn't he so cute!

We were in Idaho for the 4th of July weekend. We spent time with family hanging out and doing some fun things. We roasted marshmellows and made smores, went jet skiing, and had a get together with Mike's family and "celebrated" Reagan's birthday....again. She's going to think a birthday is a week long celebration every year.

After our fun weekend, we left Reagan in Idaho with both sets of grandparents for the entire week!! Mike took the week off to get things accomplished around the house. I had Monday off and don't fall off your chairs now, but I pruned ALL our shrubs!! Gasp! I know, I DID YARD WORK! I have to admit it's probably the first time since we've owned a home that I got dirty - and very sore!

Oh! How fun!


Has she seen mom read the tag one too many times?

Happy 2nd Birthday Reagan!!

Friday, Reagan had her 2nd birthday! We cannot believe time has gone by so fast. We started the day having breakfast with Grandma Judy who was in town, then spent the rest of the day as a family doing fun things Reagan likes to do. Since it was her birthday she got to eat whatever she wanted but she still had to take a nap!! Saturday, we had a fun get together at Wheeler Farm with some of her buddies. In spite of being very hot, I think everyone had a fun time. The kids got to feed the ducks, ride the horseys, and run around.

At TWO, Reagan :

*loves to go on bike rides, play on her play set and in the sandbox, read books (especially Curious George), play "get me daddy", give hugs and kisses, go to the park and climb the BIG ladders to go down the slides, blow bubbles bubbles and MORE bubbles, Mac n Cheese, & coloring. She counts to 10, Says her ABC's, "mostly"
knows triangle, square and circle (yet she cannot really give you a straight answer on any of her colors)! She can recite many songs. She LOVES singing! Currently her favorites are Sunbeam, Happy Clap Your Hands, and Pokey Pokey.
Likes to "Move it Move it"

She is silly by nature and loves to make you laugh. Is very caring (always asks "Daddy/mommy etc you ok?" when she hears "ouch" or she sees you do something that might hurt she'll say "be careful". She wants to know what you are doing at all times to make sure she isn't missing something. Forever a daddy's girl and now our (hopefully not terrible) two year old. She is currently wanting to everything on her own in fact I spent 10 minutes watching her try to put on her jammies "all self" tonight! Here are a few pictures from the party.

Pee-yew what stinks?

Baseball!!

Mike's company had a family night event at the Bees game (minor league baseball team). We thought it would be a fun night out if Reagan wasn't to tired but she ended up being so good. She loved being there, danced with the music, clapped when they hit the ball and told the players to "run run".




Confused if that was a touchdown or homerun...


Watching the game

The "I got caught in mom's makeup look"! She was very good at getting quite a bit on her eyelashes actually. The rest...well, not so much.
