No more 2 year old in this house!

Happy Birthday to our dear sweet Reagan!!! I did manage to take just a couple of photos but I wasn't awake enough to take pictures of her opening her presents this morning. She had a great day with her new presents, a trip to Chuck E Cheese and finally her requested dinner of chicken nuggets, waffle fries and crescent rolls followed up with ice cream and cake. This will be a fun summer with both of the girls getting big enough to really go on some adventures. It is so nice that Reagan has been fully potty trained and is now talking clear enough to get her point across (in between screaming). Jason and I have been thinking that it is time to take a Laura Ingalls Wilder tour around Minnesota/South Dakota seeing as he and Piper just finished the serious for the second time. We also have a serious itching to go camping a few times this summer. We think both of the girls will really enjoy it now that they are old enough to go hiking and exploring.

Easter and Reagan's Birthday

We had such a fun weekend between Reagan's Birthday party and Easter. We went to church, then off to Dad's and then over to Marilyn's for Easter. We enjoyed spending the entire day with family, it was almost like Christmas, we traveled and ate and received presents everywhere we went. The girls would like to get used to doing that. Piper and Reagan started getting into the candy and once they got a taste they couldn't control themselves and by 6pm they were crazy!!! Today Reagan asked for M&M's for breakfast and requested cake and cupcakes for dinner. Just because it is her Birthday I actually considered giving her some M&M's at breakfast but then I remembered her bouncing around last night and came to my senses. Here are a bunch of photos, they are not even remotely in order though.

At Marilyn's digging into their baskets
Oh they are so cute! Brecken wasn't very happy but we managed to get a couple of photos where she doesn't look like she's complaining.

Piper and Claire both looking so pretty in their dresses

Egg hunt at Dad and Jill's in the yard. I changed them out of their dresses to play outside since we played soccer and t-ball for a while too.

Piper has a serious advantage over both Reagan and Brecken in egg hunting. She knows what she's looking for, is fast, and a bit greedy.

Reagan got her birthday presents from Dad and Jill, she was very excited to two pairs of shoes, these are her new Tinkerbell tennis shoes and she got some pink sandals.

Poor baby B, it was naptime and she got stuck outside looking for eggs. She wanted nothing to do with crawling in the grass at the moment.

Piper had her baskets and most of the eggs before Reagan even knew what was going on. Good thing Bill and Niki took Brecken to a corner of the yard and kept Piper looking on the other side or Brecken wouldn't have gotten anything.

I've had a few years to figure out how much candy the girls get from Grandma's and Grandpa's and Aunts and Uncle's, I told the Easter Bunny to just put a few jelly beans in some eggs and loose change in most of the others. Not to mention Jason and I experienced a very unhappy Piper one Easter morning after she got into way too many jelly beans and M&M's, refused breakfast and melted down by mid morning.

Reagan was having a ball!

The Easter bunny brought the girls a t-ball stand and a soccer ball. Heather and Aydan got Regan a little bat and ball for her birthday and they were both very excited about it but neither can pitch it well enough for the other to hit it so we were happy the bunny brought a stand.

Princess Reagan's Birthday Party

We celebrated Reagan's Birthday today and she enjoyed every minute of it.

She loves her new bike!
I asked her if it was time to do presents and she jumped right in.

Just hanging out looking cute! She wanted to wear a dress so I asked her to pick it out and she picked out the pinkest, fluffiest dress she could find.

I can't tell if she's going to be a tomboy or girly girl, she loves barbies and pink dresses but also loves cars. A few weeks ago I asked her what she wanted her cake to look like and she said race car so here is her cake.

This is such a cute picture of Niki and Brecken!

Could it be 70 degrees???

It may only be 69 degrees but it feels warm enough to us. We are enjoying some afternoon time playing in the yard. Piper doesn't have school for the next two weeks so we are trying to get outside as much as possible. Good thing the weather is cooperating.

One of their games is kind of like chicken, one chases the other with their bike and the other dodges out of the way. I do NOT like this game and am trying to discourage it.

They have been playing very well together today (thank goodness!
