A Week of Playdates...

This past week we spent 5 days at Grammie Carla and

PaPa Ken's house while Daddy was out of town...

filled with games, princesses, cars, trucks, swimming,

jumping, running, screaming, eating... and the list goes on!

Carly, Aunt Laura, Reagan and Calvin take

a break from Candyland.

Drew, Carly, Reagan and Bracken share

a moment on the couch...

Grammie Carla gets a smile from Bracken...

Reagan keeps up with the boys!

Bracken enjoying some time on the floor!

(I worked hard to get this smile...)

Carly and Bracken dance in the morning...

PaPa Ken, Calvin and Reagan reading and drawing

Carly, Calvin and Reagan chill on the recliner..

(notice her pretty nails!)

Drew and Bracken spending some quality time...

Silly girls Carly and Reagan

There are no photos of me, but I can tell you

how I looked - exhausted! :) Too much fun!

Feathered Friends

Last week I discovered an empty water jug

so we decided to make a bird feeder

for our feathered friends...

Yes, those are fruit loops...

Reagan waiting patiently for them to come...

(I am pretty sure they like whole grains,
just not so sure they like them neon colored!)

First Foods

Since Bracken cut his first tooth this past
weekend we thought it might be appropriate
to try it out on some real food...

MmmMmm... Baby Oatmeal
(which basically looks like dust that you add a bit of water to)

Reagan seemed to like it okay.

...a typical first dinner...
(more on the bib and less in the belly)
Not so much... Hmm... I suspect he liked the taste of

his bib better than the oatmeal.

Oh well - better luck next time, big guy.

All in the Family

This week we got a few shots of the grownups

in the house...not doing much, really.

(which is why we aren't usually in the photos)
Mr. D and Mr. B just chillin'

Reagan just looked too cute...had to post it.

What a stinker.

I always seem to get him on the couch

wearing horizontal stripes and staring at me blankly
...again with the camera, mom?

She has a bit of crazy in her, I know...

Teething is Tough.

Guess who cut his first tooth this past weekend?

This Guy.

Reagan consoling him through the pain...

Playtime on the floor...Yes, Reagan is celebrating
Mardi Gras by wearing the traditional beads.

This is Reagan's usual bedhead when she

first gets up in the morning...it still looks like

this at night, too, if we don't happen to

leave the house that day.

Everyone in the Hot Tub!

Reagan likes to take her Disney Princess dolls for

a dip in the sink every so often...
usually when mommy is cooking dinner

so I have to shield myself from the overspray.

Ariel gets a rinse...

Hard at work.

Even Sleeping Beauty gets clean.

Cardio and Strength Training

Bracken's daily workout plan involves a few minutes

in the Jungle Jumper... it really works out his legs

and thighs (which need a bit of toning).
