Camping Trip

We went camping last night and the kids had a blast! Ryan had a blast on the Fathers and Sons camp-out and wanted to go again. So Chris decided to take the day off and we headed to the Jemez. It was great weather, but there were a ton of mosquitoes!!




Our little Ryry... he is getting to be such a big boy! He loved throwing rocks and stick into the water. :)




Reaggie was a little tropper who had to try everything Ryan did... of course! She loved it and got really dirty!!






The kids loved when we walked over the logs to go hiking on the other side!



Our dirty kiddos just before packing up! Oh and I love their little camp chairs... :)

Say "Cheese"

Reagann said "Cheese" for her pictures today! So cute!!

She is getting so dang big! She changes so much every day and is saying more and more everyday! The other day she was standing on a chair in the kitchen and turned to me and said "Can you get me down please?" It was totally clear... crazy! It is definitely nice that she is being able to communicate what she wants more clearly. Instead of just whining! The other day she took Chris into the pantry and started whining. he asked what she wanted and she said "mas meow moe!" When he gave her marshmallows she was super happy and said thank you like 10 times. It usually goes like this "Thank you!" "You're welcome" "Thank you!" "You're welcome"... over and over until you stop saying "You're welcome" :)

Crazy Hair

Reagann's hair is crazy! If I don't do anything with it it is ALL over the place. Even when I do put it up it looks crazy at night when I take it out! It is hilarious!



They LOVE wrestling... they laugh so hard!



Reagann copies EVERYTHING that Ryan does!! She adores him and wants to do everything like him!



He is such a ham in front of the camera!



Getting ready to say prayers... Ryan is so cute saying them and is always sure to get everyone in his list. We often have to start the prayer again because he forgot to say he was thankful for one of the following: Grandma, Grandpa, Yiayia, Papou, an Aunt, an Uncle, or cousin! Reagann will fold her arms and say her prayer too! So funny hearing her little mumbles as she tries to say what she hears Ryan saying. :)

Goofy Kids!

Just some random pictures of the kiddos. Those goofy kids sure do love each other! Getting a portrait like picture of them is incredibly difficult but I can get lots of goofy shots. :)



I think Reagann's absolute favorite treat is a lollipop!



Ryan is such a happy and sweet kid. I love that smile. Sorry the picture is kinda blurry... the lighting really stunk! So I finally gave in and used the flash as you can see on in the picture on the left...



Hehehe... I love those pigtails! AND I love that she has started smiling for me when I ask her to. Well kinda... :)

Disneyland - Day 1

Our first ride and probably the favorite ride of the trip! You can't really beat seeing a life sized Buzz and fighting Zurg!!



The Matterhorn... couldn't get Ryan to ride it even though he was way excited about seeing the Abominable Snowman! Oh well... next time!









Waiting in line and riding the Storybook Land Canal Boats. Cute little boat ride that the kids seemed to like, but one of the slower lines we waited in! It had all the houses and towns of Disney characters along the canal.



Is that excitement or fear?!?!



Ryan rode the "Rocket" ride with me. He did really good until it went up a bit high...

Finally... REAL pigtails!!

Reagann's hair is finally long enough that I can do PIGTAILS!! Yay!! We have waited so long...LOL :) She isn't thrilled with me doing her hair but I give her lots of praise and tell her how pretty she looks. So now I after I finish she likes to see it and her "Pretties" which are the bows. Many times she will even run to show Chris how pretty she is... she also does this when I put her in a dress! :)

Car Show

I am not one for old cars... even if they are totally redone I tend to like the newer styles. Chris on the other hand loves the classics and took Ryan to the car show. Boy am I glad he has a little boy to drag along with him! I am sure Reagann will love it too one day!



Why this generic red corvette you ask? Why... its RED! Duh! Ryan's favorite color is red and he wanted a picture of the car because it was well... red. :)



Ryan looking oh so excited... LOL



No idea what is going on, but he looks cute! :)



Well at least he semi forced a smile this time.



Chris's favorite car... well maybe not of the ones at the show, but out of the classics this is it! Or a Bronco I guess but I am not sure that it falls under the "car" category... does it? :)

New camera... New pics!

Umm.... Photo Overload! Are you prepared? I got a new camera and had fun playing with the kids in Reagann's room. I couldn't decide which ones to post and since I plan on making a book each year from my blog I decided to include a bunch. I love how you can see their personalities and the differnt smiles that I love!





My little diva... well at least that is what Chris would have you believe. She is very much like her mama and wants things a certain way! Only problem is she knows what she wants but can't quite tell you what that is without a lot of whining, grunting and pointing. She is getting better and better about communicating each day though. I swear she talks in full sentences... if we could only understand them! She is a very happy girl and loves to laugh. Her little smile is infectious!!





Ryan is getting so big. It seems like he is acting older and older each day! He is such a sweet heart and is so much fun. He makes me smile all the time!!



Aww... they love each other! They really are good friends. Each morning the first thing they want to do is give each other hugs. :)



Ryan and Reagann... Mommy and Daddy love you!!
