Daisy's SWEET 2nd birthday party...... and a little game called, SEC Championship- Gators Vs. Bama

This birthday party definitely answered my question as to if Reagan had a sweet tooth like mine, or not! She DOES!

Daisy had a SWEETS only 2nd birthday party, and the table set up full of homemade baked goods by Cyndi (Daisy's Mommy) was within reach for all the kids- BUT no other kids cared about the table, except REAGAN! HAHA! It was hysterical, how many times this kid went for more cupcakes, cookies, suckers, you name it! She LOVED this party!

PS- Can I get a "ROLL TIDE??" Don't worry about getting icing on your lucky dress Reagan, Mom will get it out and we will kick some GATORS BOOTAY too!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

I SWEAR she is grabbing for more from the table! HAHA!

Reagan with Friends

One morning for a play date, Jen, James, Abby, Evan (and newborn baby Drew) and Reagan and I met up at Chick-fil-a for breakfast and for the kids to run out some energy on the indoor play area-

You tell me if you think they got a little energy out. ?????

PS- Next time you're at a Chick-fil-a, notice how LITTLE this play area actually is, it's a wonder they all didn't run SMACK into eachother! HAHA!

(I shoved Reagan's dress into her bloomers, so she could "play like the boys"- She was having trouble climbing and sliding with all the extra dress material.

:)

"Lights, Camera, Action!"- Reagan's First Commercial Shoot!

Kaufman Eye Institute- Tampa, FL

Last Monday, Reagan and I drove to Tampa for a commercial shoot for a local eye company.

I was quite nervous since I wasn't going to be IN the commercial with Reagan, my biggest fear, was Reagan not wanting to do anything she was "suppose" to, b/c I was on the sidelines watching- BUT all my worrying was a waste of energy (which it usually IS!) She did wonderfully! :) The first shot for the 30 sec. segment was Reagan blowing out birthday candles- (what they didn't know, was that Adam and I had been practicing with her for her Birthday, so she was a pro!)- BUT, she didn't get cake, so that was a bit challenging getting her mind off the cake, after tempting her with it, and not giving her any! - She got a few tastes here and there though, sticking her fingers in it while they were filming!

I love this picture above, with her getting all "primped" for her shoot! Very DIVA, I think! :)

This woman in the purple, is the other actor in the commercial, the one with "cataracts" :) - she played Reagan's Grandma; Midge, Reagan took to her well, since I really talked up that we were going to be with A "GIGI" that day!

The rest of the shoot consisted of Reagan playing with dolls, games and reading with Midge- BUT, I couldn't get pics of those, b/c Reagan wanted me sitting next to her at that point- SO funny enough, I am sitting next to her in the scenes, BUT, I'm not shown at all! It all worked out! ....... we did get to a really teary point, when Reagan didn't want me to leave, and then wanted to sit in my lap, which wouldn't work as far as hiding me! SO, I ran out of the room for a bit, thinking she'd participate better if I wasn't there! - She DID, BUT, she took to another lady, working with the film crew, and she literally sat in her lap during shooting, and they covered her up with a blanket so you couldn't see her! HILARIOUS! What you do for a two year old! :)

Everyone was VERY proud of her, and then we all ate cake and wrapped up the commercial!

They will be sending it to me in the mail soon, it'll only be shown in Tampa, So I'll try to post it when I get it! :)

Thanksgiving in Atlanta with Cousin Ava

Adam did a good job taking these "action" shots, I LOVE the one of Ava falling off the ball! It is SO ACTION filled! :)

Alyson pulled a HUGE bounce house out of their garage, and we blew it up and the girls bounced around for awhile, their favorite thing was making funny faces at us! :)

Reagan and her cousin, Ava had a BALL together over Thanksgiving weekend! They rarely ever get to see one another, but when they do, they hit it off right away! They even played tea party (with Reagan's new tea set from her Aunt Alyson, Uncle Chris and Ava), in Reagan's pak-n-play, (as pictured above)- they had a great time! Can't wait to plan another trip for them to get together! We love our family!!

"Cheetah" Woods-

It's sad to say, that this picture doesn't quite mean what it did back in June 2009. Too Bad, and SO Sad!

See ya Tiger!

Raise your hand if you LOVE a donut!

I am a HUGE donut lover, and it just occurred to me the other morning that I hadn't shared this LOVE with Reagan- So, one morning before we had to pick Adam up at the airport, we drove over to the Krispy Kreme! It was delicious and she knew it was going to be good just by looking through the glass at the donuts when we first walked in!

Gotta love my sweet tooth daughter! ................... To all my Midland blogger "fans" Krispy Kreme sure is good, but DOESN'T TOUCH T&T!!!!!! I can't wait to get back for some T&T!!!

Reagan's favorite animal right now-

Owls are really "in" right now, if you haven't noticed, and now that I've pointed it out, you'll start seeing the kids clothes with owls.... but it's a good thing, since Reagan loves them so much! It's easy to find her things she will like!

We really don't know why this is a favorite animal in her eyes right now, but it is, and it's SUPER fun to "hoot" around the house! :)

How funny is this owl she made at school? She couldn't have made a more fitting art project for herself! She was really excited to put it up in her room with all her art work!

"Big Girl" room

I figured with a Birthday and Christmas right around the corner, we really needed to evaluate our toys and clutter in the living room- SO we made a weekend out of transforming Reagan's room into a little girl room; We moved her changing table into the closet (assuming we wouldn't be using it much longer, seeing that we're in the potty training process), and we put up two of these cubby shelves against the wall (only one pictured)- and on the other side of her room we put a cute toy bench and moved her bookcase! She LOVES all the new movement, and now she notices ALL her toys better, so sometimes trying to get out of the house is a challenge, but I'm glad she likes it! And Adam and I like having our living room BACK! :) Gotta love having little kids!

Betcha' can't guess who this is?

A little HUNTER in progress

This is one of my FAVORITE pictures! Reagan and I sit out in the backyard and watch Adam shoot his bow- and now, I might add- I have a PINK bow to join him! I'm doing really good too! Reagan will have to get one for her 4th birthday or something to start hunting with us! LOL!

I never would have thought that I would become a hunter, much less a BOW HUNTER! Go Momma! - Bring on the couple hunting show!! :)

The Crooked House

Did anyone see the Jon and Kate Plus 8 episode when they made the kids, "Crooked Houses?"

Well, we found one, at Festival of the Trees at the Orlando Art Museum, and it was AWESOME! Reagan LOVED it, she ran in and out of it, closing the door, and opening it, saying "hi" "bye"- there was even a peep hole!

When it was time to go, we couldn't get her out, so I had to go in after her, thinking I'd be like Alice in Wonderland, squeezing into this little house, I got inside, and could stand completely up! I'm 5'8"!!! I couldn't believe it! I loved that thing and Reagan did too!!

Dear Santa,

We would like a Crooked House PLEASE- it's only $3000. :)

Love,

Reagan's Mommy

Meeting Santa!

Reagan was NOT a big fan of Santa last year! My Mom and I took her to the all, last year, and she SCREAMED her head off! She absolutely HATED him! I thought I'd start this year out right, by showing her a BARNEY video, "The Night Before Christmas"- She LOVES it when "Santa!!" (she screams his name) comes on the Barney movie!

On Sunday, we went to the Festival of the Trees at the Orlando Art Museum, this is where all these Christmas trees are decorated to sell- VERY neat!

We were walking around the corner into the children's area, and Reagan screams, "Santa!" (like she is doing as I type this, b/c she sees him in the picture!)

I knew she would be a little shy towards him, but she didn't CRY at ALL! Yay for my Big girl! She is so BIG! Santa was wonderful, he talked to her, and he helped her eat a candy cane! In this top picture she looks like she is telling him what she wants for Christmas! So Sweet! Maybe another trip before Christmas, to see if she isn't as shy!

Can you believe Christmas is almost here!?

Happy (late) Halloween!

I have MORE Halloween pictures for you guys, but I will have to upload more later!

Reagan LOVED her costume! She was a Pink Lady! (We actually were twins, b/c I have a Pink Ladies jacket from when I was Sandy in Grease at the Midland Community Theatre).

Her favorite part of the costume was.... believe it or not, the SUNGLASSES!!

Young LOVE.......

While I was cleaning up our hard-drive I came across these OLD pictures (September 2005) back from when Adam and I were dating! :) I Love to look back at how young we looked! :)

I can't believe we will have been married 4 years in December!

I LOVE you babe!!

Like Father.... Like Daughter.......

When I first met Adam, his roommate, Josh would ALWAYS complain of Adam's habit of leaving drawers open. He would leave all the cabinets in the kitchen open, the drawers with the silverware, his drawers to his dresser, well you get the picture- And I DID witness his act of NOT closing things, BUT ever since we've been married he never really did it much-

But now LOOK at what I found in REAGAN'S kitchen!!!! (this is a REAL picture!! She had EVERY door open!!) We have another "leaver of the doors open" AHH!!!! HAHA!

The funniest thing, is when I told Sally (Adam's Mom), and she told me that Alyson, (Reagan's Aunt) does this!!!! Oh, Boy! HAHA! SO FUNNY!!!

My favorite picture of Izzy and Baby Reagan

I know it's been a LONG time since I've blogged! Sorry to all my blogger followers! :) We've had a busy last month, and this November is flying by just as quickly! This morning I will try to update a few pics and maybe come back later to write more after we visit the petting farm visiting Reagan's School this morning! WOO HOO! You know how we love petting those crazy animals!

I had to blog this picture, because it is ONE OF MY FAVORITES of Reagan's lifetime!

We love you Izzy and can't wait to see all of you guys for Thanksgiving!

Green Meadows Petting Zoo Video Collage

This is a small dose of what we experienced at the Green Meadows Petting Farm this year.

Video #1: Reagan milked a cow- This video doesn't really do her bravery justice, since she walked away rather quickly to blow a kiss, wave to the cow and suck her thumb- but I was proud of her attempting the milking process! I wasn't brave enough! LOL

Video #2: Reagan meeting the Momma Cow's Baby; Tipper (he had a white marking on the tip his tail)

Video #3: "Duck! Duck! Duck!" Reagan loved talking to the Duck, but was not quite into petting him, she enjoyed jumping with Charlotte much more! Please notice the man at the end of the video whose baby duckling runs away from him! Hysterical!

Video #4: Petting the sheep! There were tons of sheep in here just about running Reagan over, but she didn't seem to mind! I apologize for happening to be recording while a sheep decided to take a poo poo in my video! YUCK! And it was nearly on Reagan! EEK!

Video #5: Feeding the sheep

Video #6: Petting the loner goat

Video #7: James and Reagan petting the loner goat

DISCLAIMER: NO ANIMALS WERE INJURED IN ANYWAY WHILE TAPING THESE VIDEOS, AND JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, THERE WAS USE OF A LOT OF HAND SANITIZING DURING THE DAY. :)

**One of our great friends, Jamie, who is also born on December 19, is a VET and I say that Reagan could grow up to be just like Jamie b/c she has a LOVE for all animals!

Pumpkin Patch Take 2

Last Saturday was cool! Yah Whoo! It was about 60 degrees for a few days over the weekend, and Reagan, Daddy and I went out to the Pumpkin Patch again to get a BIG pumpkin to carve. We got some Winnie the Pooh carving stencils- and we will post a picture WHEN we finally carve it! :) I very rarely get a picture of the two mini-me's together so I LOVE this one! And the one on the bottom is "SO REAGAN!"

Animal Kingdom, Florida, October, 90 degrees!

HOT James and Reagan on the "Choo-Choo"

Jen, James, Reagan and I with our pal, GOOFY! (James was a bit hesitant)

............BUT he loved being with Minnie! :) I love this picture!

Video below is Reagan petting the sheep, and if you didn't already know what a sheep "says", I'll tell you......... (LOL)

Friday's are normally our "playgroup" play dates and we've really been slacking on attendance because Reagan and I BOTH are exhausted by the end of the week from school, and other activities we just aren't up to more on Friday- BUT on this day we made an exception. A few of the Daddy's of kids in the group work for Disney World, and we were able to get in free one afternoon. It would have been wonderful had the weather treated us nicer! It was 90 degrees..... in OCTOBER!! It literally was MISERABLE! But, we managed and had a wonderful time playing. Jen, James, Reagan and myself stayed after everyone else and had fun watching The Lion King Show, and meeting characters! We even went on a "Choo-Choo" and petted some sheep! Over all it was a FREE day at Disney with great Friends, which can't be beat!!

Hair-DO

Reagan found my hairdryer, (Sarah, can you believe I still have this, it was from Dad's!) she decided she wanted to blow her already dry hair

- It was so funny watching her! She LOVED it! I have temperature controls on this hairdryer. and so I put it on "cool".

PUMPKIN PATCH 2009

PUMPKIN PATCH 2009

Reagan has a "thing" right now for OWL's, not sure why, but I bought her a new pair of PJ's once with an OWL on it, and ever since then, her and Adam have been "hooting" for months, AND the only PJ's she wants to wear is the OWL, and really doesn't ever want me to take it off either! But, I saw this shirt and knew she'd love it! PLUS, it worked well, for Halloween "Orange"! I had to laugh when Adam told her, "this will be the closest thing to a HOOTER'S girl, you'll ever be!"

She loves the shirt, even though it's long sleeved, and she picked out her shoes for today also, green ballet slippers. (the ones from her "lollipop photos in July") - she's never been able to wear them, b/c she CAN'T keep them on her feet, AND they didn't match one bit, but WHATEVER, it wasn't worth the fight! :) At least she looked cute! It was nearly 90 degrees, it felt like, But I always like to dress her up like "fall" for these pictures, even if it is "FAKE"- LOL!

Doesn't she look SO BIG here!? I can't believe it!

We met our friends James and Charlotte to play at the Pumpkin Patch this morning, and then we had a Pizza Party at James' house! James kept saying, "Pizza Party, Pizza Party!"

Mommy and Reagan!

(Please ignore the ugly band aid, on my arm, Adam has passed Poison Ivy onto me, and I'm trying my hardest not to pass it on to Reagan, Or scratch it, so I'm keeping it covered!)

I hate to admit it, but Reagan's learned how to PICK HER NOSE! Yuck! I really thought only BOYS did that, (j/k) But she's had an ongoing clear, runny nose, which I'm learning from my friends with kids in school settings is called "the daycare running nose" - according to friends, it's a constant running nose, that means nothing it's just from the kids sharing germs during the day- So, now that her nose runs, ALOT- she shoves her finger up it! YUCK! I'm working on the manners now! :)

"Ring around the Rosies"- the kids enjoyed walking, holding hands, but couldn't figure out how to actually do it without ending up in a circle! :)

Sweeties!- Look at how sweaty they got from running around!

"God is Great, God is Good......."

So long highchair, this kid is growing up, and ready for the "big" table!

We have retired the highchair to the garage, and Reagan is now eating at the dining room table in a booster seat, or eating at her picnic table. This is a BIG step in our house, b/c it requires lots more cleaning up, but it helps Reagan learn to sit like a "big girl" and eat with us! She's doing great, and I TRUELY enjoy mealtimes together!

We say the blessing at every meal and she is now saying it in her own version.

Enjoy the video!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE WENT TO THE POTTY!

Yesterday afternoon Reagan went Tee Tee in the POTTY!!!!! It was quite accidental, and shocked me to death! She ran to her potty before I could put a fresh diaper on her, and she closed the door behind her. I followed in after her, and saw wet spots on the bathroom rug, and I was planning on cheering her on even if she had "missed" the potty, and as I began cheering, she stood up and she had ACTUALLY gone ALOT in the potty!

We were very excited for her!

She didn't go again today, but it is fun to sit on and read (like below) So that's a start! :

:)

Look at how they've grown!

There's pretty much NO words to describe how funny, surreal, and adorable this comparison picture is below!

I can't believe how quickly a year has gone by, and how much James and Reagan have grown! We truly LOVE and CHERISH our friendship with the Olson Family!

And James is ALREADY learning how to put the moves on girls in cars! AHH OHH! :)

.... "hmm, what's back here......" (sneak my arm around her) ........

:)

Art By: Reagan Haynes

Reagan's really getting into art, and at school every Monday and Wednesday, she is bringing home the cutest art work, and I know that has to be one of her favorite parts of her day!

These are some tub crayons I got her and she just LOVES to draw, just about anywhere!

Thanks Izzy!

Look at what came in the mail for Reagan a few weeks ago?! It's our favorite chair! Can you tell??

Babies and Bums

NOTHING IS CUTER THAN A DOG AND A BABIES BUM. ;)

From Ponytail to Bangs!

We have been excited about Reagan's hair growing out, it's finally been long enough for a "sort of" ponytail! (which is great, since she's going to be a "50's" girl for Halloween, I wanted her hair in a little ponytail with a scarf like ribbon) :)

Anyway, last week, Adam's hairdresser and I had a confusion of hair cutting direction (you could say) and instead of "trimming" up Reagan's bangs, she CHOPPED THEM OFF! I was very upset at first, but they are beginning to GROW on me! :)

Where's Reagan and Carter!?

Reagan and Carter are really great buddies, and play together nearly everyday- one day while Jenny and I were tending to Carter's twin sisters, Reagan and Carter ran into "Daddy Carter's" closet and were "hiding" from us!

Double click to see them.... if you can't! (LOL)

"ROLL TIDE, ROLL!"

Well, as most of you know, it is FOOTBALL season now, and COLLEGE FOOTBALL is a BIG deal at the HAYNES House!......... Let me correct that, ALABAMA COLLEGE FOOTBALL is a BIG deal here at the HAYNES House!

This past Saturday Reagan learned how to cheer with her Daddy for the Crimson Tide!

Enjoy this video! :)

(Don't worry TEXAS folks, I'm still rootin' for TECH every Saturday too!....... They just need to up their game a little bit!) ;) ...... But there will always be a place in my heart for Texas Tech!

(Adam is all decked out in his hunting gear, from an early morning hunt that morning)- NO, he doesn't normally wear these camo tights every football Saturday! ;P

Britney Spears, CIRCUS

I have NO excuse for being SUPER behind on blogging except that our computer was on the fritz for over a week, AND I erased a WHOLE memory card of photos while at the Britney Spears concert!! It took me at least 45 min AFTER deleting EVERYTHING to regroup! I know I had good pics in there, but since I really can't remember what (other than pics from GREASE, when a big group of girls went) I can't be too upset!

SO, I'm overcome my dilemma and I've gotten over it! NOW I'm BACK!!!!

Here are some pictures taken of the DIVA herself, Britney Spears...... the show was amazing, and I know some folks say, "I wouldn't go to see her if you PAID me"- and let me just say, I WOULD have gone if someone had PAID me, OR NOT, BUT the BEST part was, I got TWO FREE tickets!!!!!! So there! :)

My good friend Janelle, that came with me to the show!

This was my "fun" going out outfit for the night! I felt a little like Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City in the beginning scene with her cute pink tutu! I love these shoes too! "Naughty Monkey's" (my friend Janelle's!) (I'm getting me a pair!) Please zoom in on the shoes!

Disney on ICE

Zana and Reagan outside of the Amway Arena for Disney on ICE! (September 11, 2009)

Reagan sat in Janelle's lap nearly the whole show! (Janelle is a friend of ours from the gym, and Reagan REALLY loves her more than me, I think :)

She had hand fulls of popcorn all night! She literally had her elbow down the popcorn box, and wouldn't take her eyes off the show! It was hysterical!

My little Mickey "wanna-be" munching on some pink cotton candy!

Mickey and Minnie on a magical sled ride! :)

The show REALLY was amazing!

Miami Beach with the Grandmothers!

Miami Beach with GiGi and Zana!

While Adam has been in Alaska for the past 8 days, My Mom (Zana) came to visit us and we took a quick trip to Miami to see my Grandmother (GiGi)- These were a couple cute pics from this beach trip!

"BOB" haircut.........

Oh, how I LOVE the "bob" haircut!  It's super easy maintenance and SO darn cute!

I have been wanting to take Reagan to this nifty "Dream Cuts" salon for kids, and today was the perfect day!  She loved this place!  They had toys, and music, TV's and these awesome car seats to get your haircut in! She was a good sport until the man came over to cut her hair! LOL! We had quite a long wait, and she's never acted so good, but she really has a sensitive thing against men she doesn't know and this barber comes over all in her face and friendly, but she freaked!  He brought her a really neat Mickey mouse toy that lite up so that bought him some time then the bangs came....... and that really was the only thing she needed done, so those may have turned out a little uneven since she moved around so much- BUT, he didn't cut her, (or me) (since I was in the middle of the cut some of the time), and her hair looks straight to me! SO, I was happy!

First Day of Mother's Day Out!

9:00am

This was in the parking lot at the school- she was thrilled to go to school at this point, but when I "dropped" her off, not so much! LOL!  She and every other child in the room were SCREAMING! It seemed easier than I expected leaving her, b/c she wasn't the only one throwing a fit!

*But doesn't she look like a doll!?

Monday was Reagan's FIRST day of school!  I was emotional, like I expected to be, but a trip to Target with a Starbucks drink made me feel much better! :) 

Who knew you could spend so much MORE money on stuff, when you don't have a toddler trying to crawl out of the grocery cart! LOL!

2:00pm

When I went into pickup Reagan, she didn't even know I was there, she was playing very hard and having a blast! But, when she saw me she came running, and that made me feel good!  

The teachers thought she had been in a childcare setting before (not sure what gave them that impression), but when they found out she hadn't been, they were very impressed at how good she did on her first day away from me for that time period! (I'm so proud of her!)

She only took a 20 min nap (and when we got home she took about a 2 1/2 hr nap to add to that!) and she wouldn't eat her lunch at school, so this is her below in the car home pigging out on her lunch!  It's going to be a learning experience for both of us, but I'll hope in a few months she will have it down!

I was really excited about taking her tomorrow, but now the nerves have kicked in AGAIN! More school pics to post after another fun day! :)

I Love her!

Fun on my IPhone

Forensic Files Shoot

Please keep checking back for when I get an exact date, but I filmed a scene for a show on the TruTV channel for a show called Forensic Files.  The episode for the show is called "All That Glitters"- Forensic Files is a show that is about real life murder stories that happened in the US. I don't do murder shows well, but I didn't have to see anything yucky, so I was able to sleep last night! I will be in the scene at the bonfire (shown here in the picture) with the girl that gets murdered.  Hope everyone watches for me!  It will air in one to two months!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Reagan picked up on me dipping my fries and chicken nuggets into the Frosty- I know that is an international thing many people do with their frosty's, and I'm not CRAZY- but it is SO good!!  One weekend when Adam and I were feeling like a frosty and fries, Reagan had a hay day!

KILLER Crocs.........

I ordered Reagan the most adorable Crocs for school, little "cotton candy mary janes."

I also thought it would be fun to get the little Jibitz inserts (for the holes) for her to switch out every few weeks or so.  I got the Disney characters, and Barney, etc. and ever since I put them in her shoes, SHE WONT TAKE THEM OFF!!!!!!

This cute, idea of mine has turned out to be a nightmare!  She literally SLEEPS in her Crocs at night, (when I'm not feeling like fighting that battle)- BUT, her school won't allow them, ("sigh" "oh great")- therefore, nights before school (Monday/Wednesday) NO SLEEPING IN CROCS- 

It's been interesting! HaHa!

Walking the dog-

Please don't call Animal Services on me! HAHA!  When Reagan and I take Miami on walks now, she refuses to walk unless she is literally walking Miami.  So, after a stressful (5 min) walk around the block, we practiced walking her in the backyard, it doesn't take much to get Miami exhausted- (this is why she is lounging in the grass!)  I had to post this particular video b/c I was Laughing Out Loud!  Have you had a laugh today!? Watch this!?

:)

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!!
