One crazy month!

I am so glad that school is finally over and we can slow down. It seems like May was just crazy busy at school and at home. Reagan finished her first year of preschool on the 21st of May and it was very sad to me. I really need these girls to slow down. They are growing up way to fast for me. Reagan will be four on Saturday. How in the world did that tiny little baby girl get to be 4 years old?!? Reesie girl is 15 months and is quite a handful. She is such a little mess. Here are a few pictures of the past month. I am going to try to be better about posting more over the summer. We will see how that goes! Happy Summer!!

Donuts at the playground was necessary after church for Mother's Day! A student of mine gave me a Sugar Shack gift card and I finally got around the using it. SO delicious.

Look at this little rascal. She is really something else. She is full of energy and is very determined. She has no fear.

Sweet Reagie Grace.

The Barbie Car has been going full speed down Monumental Ave. every night after dinner. I am sure the neighbors just love that.

Reese just hangs out in the wagon a lot.

Pool opened and look who got a new suit!

Waiting for Daddy to come home.

Last day of St. Matthew's Preschool!

She put these necklaces on all by herself!

Rascal!

A Mother

 My journey to motherhood was not easy. It was a long road and it was so hard. But when I look at these two precious faces I know that every second of that journey was so worth it. I can't believe that we have been blessed with these two beautiful girls. I spent years thinking that I would never be able to celebrate Mother's Day with my own children. But now here we are. My two girls. Mother's day is tricky for me because I am so very happy that I have these two girls but I can't forget all of those Mother's Days that I spent feeling so sad and desperate. I know that they are so many other couples out there that are experiencing infertility and my heart goes out to them because I know just how difficult it can be. I know for me just knowing that someone else had experienced this and made it through made me feel so much better. No one truly understands until you live it but it made me who I am today. We waited and waited for these girls. I hope that they will always feel my love for them and know that they were all I ever wanted. I love you girls!

Beach Time!!

We made the trip down to the beach for spring break. The girls and I went down with my parents on Wednesday and Jason came later that night. Since we didn't want to have both of our cars down there, the girls and I piled into my dad's car and drove down with them. Three hours was quite enough time in the middle of two car seats. Especially since Reagan is not the best traveler. The weather was a little cold the first day but we did get a few good beach days in. Reagan loves the beach and always has. Reese was a little more into it this time but still was not crazy about it. She was more interested in running down the beach. We love being there and spending time with my parents. We were able to do some other things that we don't often get to do in the summer, like going to the aquarium and checking out some of the playgrounds.

Home

I was so ready for spring break. Just the thought of not having to rush out of the door in the morning makes me so happy. I love being at home with the girls and just doing fun stuff together. Before I had them, I spent my spring break, cleaning and organizing. Even though, it stresses me when my house feels dirty or disorganized, I have become much better about letting all that go. We had a few days at home before we headed to the beach so we made the most of it. We played outside a lot because the weather was so nice and we did a few Easter things that we never got to. We even got to meet up with some friends for a play-date. So fun! I am definitely counting down the days to summer vacation.

We even planted some things in Reagan's little garden behind her playhouse.

Easter eggs!

 

Happy Easter!

Reagan's Basket!

Reagan Found Reese's basket

Easter Bunny ate some of the carrots and left a mess of sugar from his candy factory!

 

 

 

 

After all of the Easter basket excitement we managed to get everyone together and out the door for church.

 

 

 

After church, we headed to my parents house for lunch. Do you like the wardrobe change?

 

After lunch, we came home for a nap ( for Reese, of course:) and then headed to Jason's grandparents for dinner. It was a busy day but a great day!

 

 

Egg Hunt and Mamaw and PopPop's

We went to my parents house to have an egg hunt with all the grandkids. Reagan, Maegen, and Sadie were really in to it. Reese was more interested in pointing to things in the yard. Reagan was sweet and found a few eggs for Reese.

 

 

Meadow Farm

I was so ready for spring break. We planned to go to the beach mid week so we had a few days at home to do some fun stuff. We decided to go to Meadow Farm to see the animals. I feel bad because I think by Reese's age Reagan had already been like 10 times. But, Reese loved it and really liked looking at all the animals.

Sweet girl
