some Florida pictures

Nanny in the sun
Reagan thought she owned the beach

Piper didn't miss a beat, she took off and started jumping the waves

these are the girls' favorite seats in Florida (or Burnsville really)

have bucket - need to find rocks

see, she looks like a little old lady holding court

Piper is so darn cute, she is growing up so quickly, it's hard to believe she's only 4 with some of the things she's coming up with lately

Reagan and I were playing peek a boo

this picture is hilarious - she's not feeling well AGAIN today. I don't know if she's fighting another round of cold or if she's just very slowly teething

check out her skinned knees, we went for a walk yesterday morning and she was so excited bouncing down the street, until she actually bounced down on the street. I don't know if it's tough getting used to sandals or if she needs to slow down but she fell down 3 times. Poor girly.

cutie pie posing for the camera

these two kids were jumping in the water and Piper just had to join in the fun, she's so social

yes, you've been caught snacking

first day in Florida - 2 big events

I'll write more later but first, Piper threw up in the pool. Ok, not funny, she gagged on some water and vurped. I know I'm a Mom, I caught most of it in my hand - yuck!

Ok, the big event - Reagan pee'd in the potty!!!!! Yeah for Reagan - now I'll just have to keep up with her and keep her bare bottomed for the next week or so and see if she'll catch on.

Niki's shower

Before the girls and I head down to Florida tomorrow I thought I should update with pictures from last weekend. The next photos will probably be from the pool.

Mom's looking good, Nanny must be munching on an M&M
Sandi, Nicole, myself, Jill and Mom

it was so nice to see Chris, Sasha and Cassie!!

Reagan and I actually got to sit for a few minutes and enjoy some Great Grandma time

yes Mom, you got one clear picture of her, of course she doesn't look at the camera

I love this picture

I've gone crafty again

Niki's babyshower cupcakes - they are baby rattles

Brecken's blanket - I can't wait to see her lying on her blanket, well I just can't wait to see her.

Niki's shower went good, it was so nice to see so everyone, especially Grandma, Chris, Sasha and Cassie who I don't get to see very often.

Spring fever

with it being in the low 60's yesterday we had to get outside. Yes, there is still snow in the backyard but I gated the girls on the deck to avoid them playing in the mud and snow, they didn't mind as long as they were outside. I put together Reagan's big wheel that she got for Christmas, she's still a little to small for it but loves it

Kyle and Konnor came over this evening for a dinner and games, I'm told that Konnor plans to marry Piper, if that ever happens I'll have pictures of them together as kids

Reagan and Kyle were rocking out Rock Band with Jason - I think Reagan is saying "this one's for you Mom"

after a little fun playing the game the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes, Kyle and Konnor each decorated one for their parents. Kyle made one and said "this is perfect, it's for my Dad" - ahhh!

Konnor wouldn't stop licking his fingers long enough for a smile, he was ready to eat

When sister's attack and some silly moments

Poor little Miss Reagan, she had a really tough day today. She fell into the wall this morning and got a little bruise on the side of her head (yes, Piper helped her into the wall), then this afternoon she had a little more help flying onto the floor and smack into the chair leg. This was no joke, this bump is huge! I just want to cry looking at her, poor little thing, and of course I was only 2 steps away but couldn't catch her.
on a lighter note, after playing outside the other day I washed the girls' coats and Piper's hood unbuttoned so Jason put it on Reagan and she thought she was the coolest thing around - with this big giant head and little body. So cute!

I don't know! The corner between the fireplace and couch seems to be her safe spot, she goes there to hang out as if Piper can't see her. She's sitting in a plastic bin with her doll. I love the way she wears her sunglasses.

The other day I decided to take the tv component cabinet downstairs since the only thing actually plugged in was the cable box, why store all that stuff in the living room? Anyways, Reagan thought it was the coolest thing in the world to play in.

rear view (literally)

so silly!

My, those are big shoes to fill Miss Piper!

Here's the snowman we built last week. It has been years and years since I've built one of these. Piper pretty much did the head herself.

at one point she had both of Jason's shoes on but she's too quick to capture on camera, well, maybe Mommy is too slow with the camera

Tigger (wearing a kilt)

Nicole's baby shower cake, I had fun making this one. Shawn thought it would be funny to put Tigger in a kilt.
