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!

Ready To Go!

Really, I shouldn't have to argue with Reagan about why he can't wear this to daycare!

Back From the Beach :(

Jon, Marty, Reagan and I packed up and headed to the beach again last Friday after work, and my cousin Amanda met us at the beach house. The weather was a bit strange on Saturday (would rain for 30 minutes, then clear up for 30 minutes... all day long!) due to the tropical storm out in the ocean, but it didn't stop us from having a good time! Sunday's weather was absolutely gorgeous and once again, we didn't leave the beach until 6:00, which made Monday morning a bit tough, but was worth it!

The best kind of dentist!

Reagan finished up his third dentist visit today and I seriously think that he has one very awesome dentist! After Reagan's cleaning and exam, Dr. Horwitz gave him a ticket to go to the Edy's icecream truck that he had parked right outside of his office door! Now that's our kind of dentist!!

If you read this blog, and your child does not have a dentist or you are looking for a great one, I can't say enough about Dr. Horwitz at Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. Wonder if they'll give us a discount for advertising for them??

4th of July Weekend at the Beach

Reagan, Blake, Kaylee and I drove down to Ocean Isle to join our GG at her beach house for the long weekend. My Mom joined us on Saturday. We had a great time playing at the beach, watching fireworks in our pajamas on the front porch, riding the ferry over to the aquarium, and searching the beach (and water) for lots of "treasures" (my Mom and Grandma did find three big, unbroken conch shells!) We were having so much fun it was hard to leave the beach behind - Reagan and I didn't get home until after 9:00 Sunday night! We're already looking at the calendar today trying to figure out when we can squeeze our next trip in!


Reagan and GG patiently waiting to ride the ferry over to the aquarium. We had to wait almost 2 hours!


Blake didn't do a bad job taking mine and Reagan's picture! Maybe he's going to love taking pictures as much as his Aunt Delia?


The 3 monkeys searching for sharks, jellyfish and whales. They were sadly disappointed when they saw none of the above.


Nemo!


Really, I could've just put this whole tank in my car. All of these fish were so pretty!


Reagan practicing "R's" in the sand.


Kaylee Brooke having fun!


Mama cracking up at something.

Swimming lessons at Campbell

Reagan (and five of his cousins!) just wrapped up his second year of swimming lessons at Campbell this week. He enjoyed it just as much this year as last!


(Out of 48 pictures taken that night, this was the best I ended up with!)
