Madison as Nanny Kringle

One of Madison's friends Greyson Gurley playing Nanny Clause.

"Oh no Victoria Santa is watching you very closely."

This year Madison tried out for the Christmas musical Nanny Clause. She was Nanny Kringle the nanny that quits because she is tired of how the elf kids are treating her. For her first play she did a wonderful job and we are so proud of her. She can't wait to try out for the spring musical Wizard of Oz. Way to go Madison!

More pics from Reagan's 6month cupcake

Sometimes she did not like it but she kept wanting to eat it.

Hmmmm! This stuff is good.

"I think that I can fit it all in my mouth at once."

"Here I go."

6 months old!

In our family we have a tradition that when you turn 6 months old you get a cupcake. Reagan dove right in the moment she saw the cupcake. She tried to get as much as she could in her mouth and when she could not seem to pick up the cupcake she would cry until she got some more in her mouth. The kids thought that she looked like she had been slimed.

Madison and Olivia got to dance at Ringgold's Down Home Christmas with TADA. We have done this for the past 4 years and the girls love it. This year Madison was also able to sing with the choir at Tiger Creek Elementary and did a wonderful job. It was a very busy night with costume changes and running around to get to where the girls needed to be but we had a blast.

How to stop growing up by:Paige

Paige: "Mommy I told you to name Reagan Ella."
Mommy: "Paige how about when you get older you can name your baby Ella."
Paige: " I do not want to move out of this house because if I leave that means that I have to have kids and I am not growing up."
Mommy: "Paige you have to grow up."
Paige: "No I do not I will stop eating my birthday cakes and that means I will not grow up."
Mommy: "So if you don't want your cake that means you don't want any presents either."
Paige: " No mom I want presents but I am not going to eat the cake because that makes you get older."

Who knew that was the secret just don't eat your cake and you will stay young forever

It's FOOTBALL TIME AGAIN!!!

I usually don't post many things to "our" blog but some times I just have to step up and add something to the discussion. I know the counter says kickoff isn't for another 2 days....but FOOTBALL starts TONIGHT. It's my birthday today and to celebrate I'm taking my brother, Vic, and my oldest son, Patrick, to go see my alma mater the Mocs take on Glenville state.


GO MOCS!!!

Happy Birthday Jaxon

On August 2, 2009 Jaxon turned 2 years old. It has gone by fast but I am loving every minute of it. He has accomplished alot in the past year. We are still working on the talking he has gotten alot better and is now starting to actually say the whole word instead of just the first syllable of the word. Just in the past few weeks his vocabulary has grown and we are so proud of him. Of course the age of being 2 comes with the terrible mood swings. I am hoping to grow out of that pretty soon. He finally got his own big boy bed and loves it (thank goodness). Since moving him to his new bed we went from sleeping all night long to now getting up at least once to come and crawl back in bed with mommy and daddy. We are hoping to master sleeping in our own bed all night before he is 3. Happy Birthday Jaxon we love you.

Everyone waiting patiently for the cake.

Don't worry it isn't on.

Hair, Nails, and Dancing

The girls got to go and have their hair, nails, and make-up done during a special party for dance class. They had a fashion show for their parents and got to learn a dance too. The girls had a great time and Paige really enjoyed herself since this was her first time going.

*when i figure how to upload video I will post one of the girls dancing.

1 month check up

Last week Reagan had her first month check up. Everything went well we are finally jaundice free!!!!!!!! She is now 8lbs 1oz. and is measuring 21 inches long. We are suffering from alittle bit of that baby achne but we are still cute as ever. This check up was the easiest next month it will be time for shots (ouch). It seems like that we were doing so well with our nights and days when it came to sleeping. Now we are so backwards some days and then there are some when she will not sleep much at all during the day. I think it is because the kids are getting restless during the last few weeks of the summer and are a bit to loud. But in just 7 days school starts and then we can try and get on some sort of schedule. I can't wait!!!!!!!

FHE

This week for family home evening we took a few things from the Book of Mormon and had the kids make their designs out of food. Boy did it get messy but they sure that fun.

Could it be Harry?

It is finally here!!!!!!!! It has seemed like forever since the last Harry Potter movie came out with them bumping the release date back another 8 months. Olivia got to go this year to the midnight showing with Madison and Patrick. I even decided to go with Reagan (she slept through it all). We were hoping that the kids would stay awake this time until the movie was over. Patrick and Olivia made it through about an hour into then movie before they fell asleep. Madison dozed off for a few minutes. By the way if you have not gone and seen it yet I recommended that you do it soon. We can not wait until the 7th movie comes out next November were we will be bringing the kids again hoping that they stay awake.

"All mine."
