Reagan - One Month Old

Reagan is one month old! Lucky for me, my Aunt Sharon was here and set up her own little photo studio in my living room and got some cute pictures for us to remember Reagan when she was little, little! Can't believe she has already been around for a month!






Misc. Pics

Ahh...isn't she cute!??? For some reason she loves wearing this glasses.He looks a lot like his Dad in this picture.
Reagan is starting to smile at us.

Kyra LOVES to dance and she also in a phase where she wants to wear this pink tutu 24/7.


She also just learned how to do a somersault. I know, this looks like a big ball of cotton candy but she is in there somewhere.

Once in a while when her sister isn't looking, Carley can get this tutu on and wear it for a bit. Gavin, Kyra and Reagan hanging out.

Week with Great Grandma & Aunt Sharon

Great Grandma Miller and Aunt Sharon had planned a week long trip to MN to visit the two new babies. They did a great job of spoiling Gavin, Kyra, Carley and Reagan for the week. They picked strawberries from our strawberry patch, visited the puppies/goats/cattle/kittens on the farm, went to see a movie in the theater, went to the water park, ran around naked on Grandma's new patio in the water and of course got the flu (not because they were outside naked - it was 95 degrees!)...all in one week.


I appologize now for all of the pictures, but there were so many cute ones (yes I may be biased) and my Aunt loves to take pictures and she is great at it - so I had to share. Thanks Sharon! Take a look...
Aunt Sharon with her four very willing photo subjects. Okay, maybe two - Gavin and Kyra loved having their pictures taken, Carley doesn't look like she is really enjoying it and Reagan couldn't have cared less.

Carley...look quick, she isn't in any trouble at this very second.

Reagan and Aunt Sharon - yes, she fell asleep like that - doesn't look very comfy to me. Lacy & Britton came home for the weekend too...Lacy, Kyra and Gavin snuggling after their water park trip.

Aunt Sharon had fun with them too...all four of them at one time!

















The Saga Continues - Trouble #1 & Trouble #2

Well...there had to be a follow-up to the "hair cutting incident". This might come close...

Kyra and Carley were supposed to be taking a nap one day last week but after going up to their room to tell them no less than 10 times to quit talking, quit getting out of bed and quit coming downstairs...I was fed up...yes, that's right, I let them win. This doesn't happen very often (I can be stubborn with the best of them) but by this time it was already almost 3:00 - time for them to be waking up from their nap - so I figured, good early bed time tonight, plus Reagan had had enough as well and was not waiting any longer for her time with Mommy. So, I let them play upstairs until Gavin woke up from his nap. I thought they were playing in the playroom. When Jed got home from work and went upstairs for something we found out what they really were doing. Jed told the girls, "Your mother is going to hit the roof." He then made them come downstairs and tell me what they had done. Now, since this was not exactly what I thought I would be hearing come out of their mouths, it took me a while to figure out what they were saying. Actually Carley was saying, "Yup, I did it." Kyra was saying, "Mom, I didn't do it, Carley did it." (We also realized during this whole experience what an expert liar we have in our oldest daughter). So I thought I was getting the idea of what they were trying to tell me - they wrecked the wallpaper - but Jed insisted that I go upstairs and look. So, I go upstairs and go into the playroom, where we have wallpaper on the wall and...nothing. Okay, I turn around but I am alone - Jed, Kyra and Carley all went into the girls' bedroom. Now this baffles me since their walls are painted. Okay, so I go into their room. Yup right there above their pillows is about a 6 foot x 3 foot section of their green painted wall that is now brown down to the sheetrock. They had went through the paint to the old wallpaper and pulled it off of the wall that we had painted over when we were expecting Kyra.

These girls continue to amaze me on a daily basis with the trouble they can find. Until next time... Here is Kyra saying, "See what Carley did all by herself." She was so proud to tell on her sister. It did take us about 10 minutes for her to fess up to being a culprit.
Part of the mess...And, the clean up.
