To My Husband

I have come to the realization that after 6 years of marriage (and having a daughter that is just like me for 3 years).... I can, at times, be very difficult to live with. I am moody and I get upset when things dont go my way (among other things). This is my public apology for being such a crazy woman for the majority of our marriage =) I love you babe!!!!

** To my defense... I have always been this was so he knew what he was getting himself into before he even married me. Not to mention his weird things. I guess you could just say we both have personality.

Christmas Cards

I know you are few and far between but if you read my blog and would like a christmas card (if you got one last year then you are already on my list) email me at Ambs1112@aol.com There will be no long winded newsletter bragging about all our accomplishments this year, there will probably not even be a handwritten note, but they are cute and you can see cute pictures of the family so let me know!!!!

Paint without splatter

Reagan: "Mommy when I grow up I am going to be a teacher."
Me: "I think you will be a great teacher. What do you want to teach"
Reagan: "I am going to teach kids how to paint and not splatter."

Many a mothers will be so happy that Reagan taught their children to "paint and not splatter" oneday!

Just call him Linus

Halloween

We had a fabulous halloween and I have TONS of pictures but I know I have a few family members that are waiting to see pictures of the kids in their costumes... so here are a few to tide them over until I can get to posting about the events of the whole weekend. We spent the weekend in Charlotte because Stephen was gone at the GA/FL game. Thanks mom for having us... it was a blast.

Reagan wins the award for most original costume (I didnt see any other cupcakes that night) and in case you were wondering... she picked that out all by herself. She said she wanted to be a cupcake and so I searched the world over for a cupcake costume... to the tune of $70... but I found one. Brody went for comfort this year (or rather, I knew he wasnt going to wear anything with a hat or hood or anything that was uncomfortable so his costume was actually pajamas from Gymboree).

I was a cowgirl/farmer girl type person. I didnt want to be anything to cool because I was affraid that Reagan would change her mind and want to be what I was being so I went for easy. Reagan loved trick or treating. She would have gone longer except that her bag got full after about an hour and a half. Brody only went to about 5 houses and sat in the wagon the whole time because it was raining at the start of the night. My mom took him home and put him to bed for me... thanks again mom for all your help that weekend.

Brody's 18 Month Stats

Brody had his 18 month check up a few weeks ago and here are his stats

Weight: 27lbs 3oz 68%

Height: 34inches 90%

He is a happy healthy baby which is great news considering the rocky start he had in life... I knew he was going to be a tough little guy from the day he was born... and could he be any dang cuter!!!!

Reagan's Halloween Party

This year I was in charge or the "Fall" party with two other moms in Reagans class. We had some fun activities for the kids to do and I really think the kids had a great time. Per Reagans request we decorated sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles which was messy but the kids loved it. We also made macaroni necklaces with fall colored macaroni. We also did a little pin the leaf on the tree game where each child had a leaf with their name on it.

We had to be a little creative because it couldnt be a "Halloween" party so no pumpkins with faces or anything like that. I understand why they do it but honestly it's a little rediculous if you ask me. I think all the kids got the concept anyhow. It was a great day and I cant wait to help out with more in the future.

Each child got a little pumpkin that I wrote their names on and glued a little bow. They were really cute and I wish I had taken a picture of all of them together.

Reagan was having lunch when I got there.

Reagan and a few of her friends in her class.

The sprinkles.... it was MESSY but the kids had a blast with it. I guess if you want to know what 3 year olds want to do, you ask a 3 year old.

More cookie decorating

It's always fun to go to her school and participate in things. Thanks Erin for watching Brody for me so I could give Reagan my undivided attention.
