Introducing Campbell and Katie Williams to the World!

As posted a few posts down, Reagan's friend Carter Williams was expecting TWIN sisters to arrive last Monday and photographed below are the little angels; Campbell Grace; 7 lbs. 19 in. and Katie Jane 5.14 lbs. 19 in!  Very nice healthy babes!

Reagan, Adam and I went to the hospital to meet them, which is the bottom picture (in that one Katie is on the Left), and they were SO darn sweet!  Reagan didn't seem to mind them at all, she wanted more to pull at cords connected to Jenny (the mother that had just undergone c-section surgery) then to have anything to do with the babies!  But she will be meeting them more than she'll like, I'm sure!

This top picture was sent to us this afternoon Thanking Reagan for the outfits- these were two preemie outfits that Reagan wore a few weeks when she was first born, and they are able to get some benefit from wearing them too!  Very sweet little girls!  I look forward to spoiling them like they are TWO* of my own!!  :)  Gotta love TWINS!

"A night to Remember"

Last weekend Adam surprised me with a Saturday day/night away to the Ritz- Carlton. We had a wonderful friend keep Reagan over night, and she had a BALL- they ate Mickey Mouse shaped chicken nuggets, went swimming, stayed up late, and ate ice cream!  While Adam and I lounged at the pool, (and the Lazy River at the JW Marriott (next door)), we had a peaceful, delicious dinner at Norman's, and got to sleep in Sunday morning!  I wasn't very good at getting pictures of the gorgeous hotel, but when we went to our room to change for dinner we saw the neatest thing- a Double Rainbow!  And we literally saw the end of it too!  Very unique!  We weren't able to get it completely so it's in two photos below- but its pretty neat!

Double click the images to see the double rainbow, and the end of the rainbow!

View from our balcony window!  GORGEOUS!  

School is soon approaching!

Can I just say that I can't believe it's nearly time for Reagan to start school?! (AKA: Mother's Day Out.)    I am SO nervous, but yet SO excited to have a couple of free hours, to clean, run errands, grocery shop, schedule dr. appts, etc. ALL with OUT her with me.... which these things I named are not her favorite things to do anyway- She will be having such a better time enjoying herself with other kiddies instead of tagging along with me.

I look forward to her first day in a few weeks- this is her new lunchbox!!

Growing UP and Growing LONG!

I just wanted to post this sweet face!  And look at how long her hair is getting!  I was able to wrap it up on top of her head!  She's growing up SO fast! 

Cooking in the Kitchen with Mommy!

Wednesday morning was a "special" morning, and special mornings consist of MUFFINS for breakfast!!!  

I had Reagan help me pour the water in the bowl, and the powdered muffin mix, and help me stir- it was really messy- but after the first lick she got off that spoon, she didn't want to help me stir or cook any longer.  She couldn't be patient long enough for me to finish before she was screaming for the bowl!  So, I cleaned a lot of it out- b/c I LOVE muffin batter, and I sat her in her chair to help clean it out more!  YUMMY!

I must also mention that Reagan is wearing an Alabama "cut-off" shirt of Adam's from when he was about 12 years old!  It is super soft, she loves to wear it to sleep in!

Another HOT day at Universal

What a typical day at Universal Studios on a 90 (something) degree day in July is like.................

We did a little bit of drinking the crystal clean water from (most likely the sewer) at Universal Studios at the "splash area"..........

We did a little of just lookin' CUTE AS A BUTTON............

We ALWAYS do A LOT of Character greetings!!  .............   (Madagascar Penguins, or "ducks" as Reagan calls them)...................

And we cool down with a nice cold Coke Icee beverage...................

and we don't share!  :)

BEWARE OF THE ADDICTION!! YearbookYourself.com

How hilarious is this!? I found some friends that posted these funny images of themselves on other heads of hair, and I LOL every time I do it! 

Some of them are my sister, and then Adam and myself.

I encourage everyone to find a good "headshot" picture of yourself, and try this- You can put your face in different "styles" from the 50's to 2000- Below are just a few of my many hours spent playing on the computer!  

I HAD to blog this b/c ABOVE is my sister, and BELOW is me, it's a little scary how much we look alike in these images!

Carter and Reagan Playdates

This is Reagan's BFF (Best Friend Forever) Carter, whom we've know since she was 3 months old and he was 5 months old. Reagan and Carter have become very close friends and do pretty much EVERYTHING together!

These are a few shots of them playing during the week!

Carter is a soon to be (Monday to be exact) brother to TWIN girls; Campbell and Katie!!!  Reagan will love to play with those little girls when they get here too!  The Williams' family has been wonderful to us and we love them very much and wish them to best of luck with their new (bigger) family!!

(P.S.- I LOVE this boating picture; this past Saturday a few friends and I threw a baby shower for Carter's Mom and the boys (Dads, Carter Sr. and Adam) took the kids out on the boat for a boat ride, along with Carter's cousin, Jack (who Reagan loves!) While at the baby shower, Adam sent me this picture- you gotta love this technology these days!!

New play area.........

This picture was taken June 24, 2008 when Reagan stumbled upon how to open this "tricky" drawer- Then it was full of her toys, NOW it's full of "mommy and daddy's stuff"- I just thought these comparison pics are cute!  I love to do this every now and again!

Reagan has now found a new place to play-BELOW- this drawer was once a drawer she couldn't figure out how to open- which was a good thing, considering it has all of her Barney, Dora, etc. movies in it (and when she gets her hands on a movie- you better put it on for her or she goes nuts!.... spoiled, I know)- Anyway- She has now figured out how to open this drawer, and while I was unloading the dishes, it seems really quiet- and she was in the drawer with her DVDs!

What a little Crazy!

"Lollipop Lollipop Ew Ah The Lollipop....Lollipop"

If I can do ANYTHING to you today, I'd like to get this "lollipop" song in your head! It kind of makes me feel like a giddy kid again! :)

This was an ADORABLE "mini" (30 min)-session with our photographer, Emily- (who, if you can remember took our Christmas pictures, Reagan's 1st birthday pictures, and the pictures of her birthday party)- I LOVE little Emily!  She always has does such great work..... But I have to say, she has a great little girl to work with too! :)

Please enjoy some of our sneak peek pictures I uploaded from her website- I should be getting more soon!  Can't wait to see what else she got!

Didn't your Mother ever tell you not to eat with your mouth full!?

........ Apparently Reagan hasn't learned the etiquette rules yet! :)  Please enjoy video!

"E-E-Elephant!"

While watching Horton the Whoo, which Reagan loves, and Adam and I do too, I started repeating Elephant a million times, and Reagan started saying it in HER version too! That is a very hard word to try to spit out!  I was (highly) impressed! :) She is clearly advanced!

LOL, J/K- the video is a little dark, but you'll get the idea!

Fun in the Sun!

 Sunday after the Fourth we cooked out at our wonderful neighbors house! We got to go swimming and got some really cute pictures of our pride and joy!

.......Oh, and we got some really "rad" Duck glasses! ;)

Sugar High on the Fourth of July!

Reagan got her FIRST taste of a pink cotton candy........ and it was GOOOD!!

..........She shared a little with her buddy, Carter............

........... She had a little for herself!..........

.........She was EVEN sweet enough to share a bite with Mommy!.......

........... Don't let her fool you, she prob. had 4 cotton candy's that night! We were able to keep her up to watch the Fireworks at 9:30!  :)  She is such a little sport!

Mooooove over COW, I'm eating my yogurt!

Reagan's vocabulary has just EXPLODED within the past week, and its mostly a lot of jibber jabber- that we don't understand a word- but she very well will carry on a conversation with us, in another language. LOL- This is just a small portion of a conversation of the day in the life of Adam and myself! 

We have began the first step in becoming a "big girl" as of Monday, and I have hidden ALL the baby bottles in the house- so we no longer can use them- She really depended on a bottle of milk for the morning and the Dr. now wants her to drink milk from the sippy cup- She has been on a "milk strike" as I like to call it, since Monday- so I've given her full access to the yogurt! 

Watch and Enjoy!

Happy Fourth of July!

This Fourth of July we spent it with our awesome friends, the Williams' at the Orlando Country Club and they had all kinds of fun stuff for the kids to do!  This was one of Reagan's highlights! She LOVED doing the BIG slip-n-slide with Daddy!  

Enjoy the video below!

Reagan and I took at trip to TX together!

The many moods of Reagan during our flight..............

.............. The not so good mood.........

......... a little Bible reading and some thumb........

......... kicking the seat in front of her...........

(we got her, her own seat, and took her car seat, so she had plenty of space and was a "big" girl, but she mostly like kicking the seat in front!)
