Reagan's 6 month check-up

June 17th - What a chunky monkey! Kathryn and Sydney weighed 17 lbs 10 oz and 14 lbs, respectively, at their 6-month check-ups!

We got kinda bored waiting for the doctor.
Silly faces!

Serious faces

Kinda-normal faces.

Grandma Peggy's Funeral

Mike's maternal grandmother died on June 13th, and we traveled down to Louisiana for the viewing and funeral the following day. These are pics from the McDaniel Family Cemetary and the last pic is of Grandma Peggy with Sydney in 2007. This is probably the last time she held any of my kids as her health began to decline after this.

Sleeping Beauty

June 7th - Gosh I love this sweet baby!

Daring with a splash of Bossy!

June 9th - I'm glad they didn't break anything. They were so excited to show me their trick! I got slightly nauseous the first time I saw them do it!

Girls Riding Bikes

Here are the girls riding their bikes and showing you their style!

Reagan's First Food!

This video is from May 2nd. (It's July 16th now!) Sorry for the out-of-orderness. That happens when I don't blog for so long!

Cruisin'

The evening of Memorial Day, we took the girls out to a parking lot to ride their bikes. Sydney is getting good at her 'tricks', and Kathryn is getting good at really riding...with no training wheels! Now we just need to get her on her bigger bike!

The end of a good day!

After our super busy Saturday, we spent the evening at the Blakemore's house. This is what happened on the 5 minute drive home.

Orange You Jealous...

that I get to see this cute face every day? This is what Reagan did while the girls played in the fountains.

Super Fun Saturday

May 29th - On Saturday we went on a downtown adventure! We started at Soulard Farmer's Market. We enjoyed fresh-squeezed lemonade and snowcones. I also bought some fun new spices at a spice shop there. After that we went to City Garden, in downtown St. Louis and let the girls play in the water fountains. After a quick drive-by look at the Arch, we had lunch at Fuddruckers! It was a great day, especially since Mike got to spend it with us!

Summer Days

May 28th - Such a fun summer day! My friend Lea and I sat in my garage almost all day and our kids just played and played. They drew with chalk, blew up balloons, blew bubbles, and played dress up.

Jumperoo!

May 26th - Reagan hanging in her Jumperoo wearing a cute new outfit from Grandma Dean. Unfortunately, the only place we have to hang her on the first floor is in the bathroom!

Do you think this is inappropriate?

I don't. I think it's funny! Chocolate chip ninnies!

Summer Dresses

"Mom! The sun is too bright!"

"Mom! This is the face I have to make!"

"Whew! That's better! Can we be done now?"

Camping Trip!

This past weekend we went camping at Table Rock Lake near Branson. We met Mike's dad, Harry, and his wife, Corrie, there. We had fun sitting around the campfire, playing games and looking around the lake. We fished a little and visited a fish hatchery. We stayed at the Army Corps of Engineers camp on the lake and highly recommend it!

Here is Mike with our camper. Mike's dad bought it brand new in 1986 and Mike camped in it all growing up. Now it has been passed to us and we are so excited to be using it! The girls love to be in it and go in and out the door. The water lines aren't working, so Mike hopes to be able to get those back up and running.

Baby Model

Here is Reagan modeling some of her cute new outfits.

From Keith & Laura (Mike runs during lunch some days with Keith at Boeing).

From Grandma Dean. Oh how I love her sweet baby arms!

From Nichole (a sweet friend from church). I'm planning on framing or hanging this in her room when she outgrows it.

Kathryn took this pic of her sis. So typical.
