Irish Festival

We love going to the Irish Festival on Church Hill. I think we have gone every year since we had Reagan. I know we went before we had her but it was a different experience then. Reagan loves the parade and the Irish dancers. Reese was pretty entertained with all of the people.

 

 

Party Time

I love birthday parties. I love planning them so much I start months in advance. Not because I am doing anything huge but just because I love to prepare for them. I know that one day my children will not have any interest in having a party in our backyard or our living room so I figure I should take advantage of that now. I know that sooner, rather than later they are going to want to do something with just their friends and I will need to be far, far away. That is sad to me and actually quite scary. Both girls are growing up so quickly, it is so hard to believe. I can't believe that we just celebrated Reese's first birthday. It was just perfect. We had our family and friends here to help celebrate and we dodged the snow. YAY!

Yummy!

Big sister

Happy birthday Reesie girl! Now on to planning Reagan's party!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REESE!!

Reesie is one! What in the world?! I thought the first year went by fast with Reagan but this was just crazy fast. Time needs to slow down. I don't like my baby girls growing up so fast. Reese is a mess. Just a real mess. She gets into everything and I know that is what babies do but honestly Reagan was not that way. Reagan would sit and play with something for a bit but Reese is ALL OVER THE PLACE. She yells all the time and sings too. She loves to hear her voice and she can say a few things but seems just perfectly content with the yelling and singing. She is taking steps on her own but gets places a lot faster by crawling. She LOVES her sister and tries to do anything to make her laugh. She loves baby dolls and gives them kisses all the time. We just can't believe that our little baby is one year old! It seems so crazy. She is just such a blessing to us and we love her so very much. Happy Birthday sweet Reesie girl!

Pretty girl!

Poor girl, she was actually sick on her birthday. But you gotta love that belly! Oh my goodness!

 

The girls

It has been a long cold winter! I have REALLY enjoyed the snow days but I am even glad that it is finally warming up. We spent a lot of time inside and luckily Reagan will play with anything so she never gets too bored. Reese just goes along with whatever Reagan is playing. Here is a glimpse of what we have been up to.

 

 

 

Who knew you could have so much fun with a cardboard box?!?!

 

 

Happy Birthday Jason!

Reagan loves birthdays!! Takes after her Mama. We were in the middle of some snow days so we had time to get crafty for Jason's birthday. Reagan made a few things for daddy and I just thought it was so sweet that I had to take a picture!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snow and Sickness...AGAIN

It seems like every time it snows some one gets sick. However, if someone was to get sick this was the best time. I had Tuesday and Wednesday off of school due to the snow so I was able to be at home with the girls while they were sick. We were at the doctor's office bright and early on Monday morning before the snow hit. Reagan had an ear infection and some kind of nasty virus that resulted in a terrible cough. She was miserable and could not sleep at night. It was like having a newborn all over again but then again, Reagan has never been the best sleeper. The snow came and it was COLD. I mean, really cold. We didn't play out in it too much mainly because of the terrible cough. By Friday, we were back at the doctor for Reese with a double ear infection and the same gross virus that Reagan had. I feel like they have been sick ever since Christmas. I will be so glad when spring comes and we can go outside and play and get rid of all these germs. I did manage to bundle everyone up and head out for a bit.

hated it!

She likes being inside!
 

Sweet girl

Despite being sick she was really excited to head out into the snow.
