All sorts of fun

We got to enjoy a weekend at the cabin, Claire braided Reagan's hair and she looked so much older.
I love this picture!
I'm thinking I may have to get Piper into modeling, she sees a camera and goes crazy posing.
splashing away in the cold water

Reagan is getting her stamps at the end of her gym class, they all sit down so nicely for those stamps, it's so cute.

Both girls take a class back to back every Monday. Reagan is first for her gymnastics and then Piper takes a dance/gymnastics class. Normally there is another girl in her class but this week she was all alone.

See, posing, what a silly girl!

Tonight we went to see the Saints baseball game with some of Jason's coworkers and customers, we all had a lot of fun! Here we are with the Champine's. Piper and their oldest Hayden (in yellow) have so much fun playing together.

Reagan so enjoyed her cotton candy at one point her hands were covered.

She really wanted a sip of water but her hands wouldn't allow her to grab the bottle, she was a little distressed until I told her to just finish eating it. Oh what a sticky mess!

At the stadium they have a kids play area, Jason and Heather took the kids over to play and I snuck up on them to take some pictures, Jason found me right away - hence the funny face.

I can't believe it is already August. The summer is winding down quickly and we have such a busy month ahead of us. I have made a resolution to try to get outside and enjoy more of our days since they now seem so limited. In just a few short weeks Piper will be starting her last year of preschool. Reagan has been changing like crazy lately. It's almost as if she's realized she's two and decided she wants to act it. She has developed quite the attitude lately. On the plus side, I think I am done buying diapers. She is potty training like a champion. Actually tonight at the Saints game she stayed dry the entire time. We made a few pitstops in the ladies room with no accidents.

finally finished

The painters are finally finished. Having the shutters darker really makes a difference. I'm still not 100% crazy about the color of either the house or shutters but it looks good. Now we just have to finish up the planting, put new rocks down and start watering the grass again.

Making progress

Well it is a very different house! In one light it looks a little too peachy or yellow. We think we like it though. These guys have been working all week and still have a lot to go. Hopefully they will be able to finish up tomorrow.

The shutters are going to be a darker brown, I think it will add a needed contrast.

Cutie Pies

One of the things the girls love to do is play dress up. Piper pretends she's the Mom and Reagan gets to be the Dad, complete with necktie. Luckily I have Piper trained to not tie it around her neck, she tucks it into her shirt or dress. It's pretty cute! little angels - they even posed for the camera together
