Soccer, soccer, soccer

is the word around our house lately! Reagan is thoroughly enjoying his first year of soccer. The three days a week of practice and games are wearing me out a little, but I will be sad too when the season comes to a close. Reagan's team is comprised of 4-6 year olds. Reagan is one of the youngest on the team, and while he may not be the best, his heart is in it for sure!

Crepe Myrtle Festival

The big shindig otherwise known as the annual Crepe Myrtle Festival was on Saturday. Somer came down with her niece and nephew, and Mama and Grandma also joined Reagan and I.

Reagan hanging out with his old buddy BB the Clown! Ya'll remember him from Reagan's 2nd Birthday?


Enjoying a watermelon snow cone! Guess who finished it once he was done? Let's just say that his Mama was glad they made it so big!


See that cute baby in the wagon with Reagan? That's Somer's nephew Peyton... he is one awesome baby! He was so happy-go-lucky! Somer's niece Taylor is also in the picture. Reagan was tickled to death to have someone to play with once we returned home, and Somer and I were glad too... we got to watch the Fantasia Barrino story on Lifetime as opposed to watching Noggin!


After we were finished at the festival, we all walked down to the Mexican Restaurant to cool off and eat a late lunch. It was just what we needed to get the energy to walk the few blocks back to my house!

Cupkakes with Pa

Pa stopped by for a visit while Reagan and I were making cupcakes. Reagan loves to lick the bowl after I'm finished, but Pa had a different idea for fun!

Campbell Football

Reagan, Nana, Angie, Bootsie, Peyton and I met Jon, Lee and Jeffrey at the brand new Campbell football stadium for their first game on Saturday. Jon, Lee and Jeffrey were already there, and had been there since morning doing some work. I would like to say that I loved it, but it was so HOT! that I spent most of the game trying to figure out how to get the most amount of breeze out of my program-turned-fan! Hopefully the next game will be much cooler!

Welcome, Sweet Lilly

Lilly Michelle was born on Friday, August 29th. We already love all 6 lbs, 7 oz of her to pieces! Reagan can't wait to teach his newest cousin all kinds of tricks!

A whole lot of catching up

Don't give up on me... I'm still here! Reagan is spending the night with his Aunt Becky tonight, so I'm going to take the chance to do some quick updating while I have the chance (and quiet!) Sorry that I haven't included pictures this time, but it's already 11:30 at night and a girl has to have her beauty sleep! ;)

Most excitingly, Jamie will be induced on Friday morning, so by Friday evening Jon and I will have a brand new niece to spoil, and squeeze and love! Her name will be Lilly, and I think it's a beautiful name for a sweet, baby girl!

We have enrolled Reagan in soccer this fall. I am sure that there will be many entertaining tales, pictures and videos to follow! Jon and Reagan have been practicing in the backyard (everyone should try using their bushes as goals!), and have already bought the obligatory cleats and shinguards. It amazes me that the time for sports has arrived so quickly!

This Saturday, we three, along with Nana, Angie, Mike and the girls will attend the first Campbell football game! Even I'm excited, and ya'll know that I'd normally rather watch the grass grow than watch sports. Saturday is also our anniversary, so who knows, maybe we'll be all romantic and wear matching orange shirts or something!

I'll keep you posted!

Our Weekend Recapped (with lots and lots of pictures!)

The three of us packed into the truck and headed back to the beach when we got off work Friday night. We met Nana, Angie and the girls for one relaxing, enjoyable weekend!

Reagan and Tori working hard to bury sweet Emily in the sand...


Reagan the beach bum... I think he could live there happily!


Don't let these sweet faces fool you! Angie and I were up until 3 am Friday night with these "sweeties!"


I would have stayed up until 4 am for this, though! (I love Aunt Delia / I love Uncle Jon)


Wake up, Daddy! We've got to get to the beach!


Emily doing one of her many jumps! She wanted me to snap a picture of her mid-air, but this was the best I could get.


Tori-Beth floating around...


Reagan and his noodle-horse named Bullseye. He straddled this noodle and floated all around the pool, pretending he was riding his pet horse. If you look real hard towards his feet, you will notice he has on bright red Crocs while swimming. He definately has a mind of his own!


Ready to ride the train up to the top of the Putt-Putt mountain!


And one last one!
