Mother's Day

What a week! I was gone Monday (evening) through Thursday for a movement and learning training in Kansas City. It was a wonderful training and I came away from it with a lot of good ideas for getting my class (and myself) moving more. But man, am I glad to be back home. That's the longest I've been away from Raegan since she was born, and I sure was missing her. It was a lot of fun to talk to her on the phone every night though. And when I went in to get her out of bed Friday morning, she said "Mama!" very joyfully, which just made my day. :)

I have several different posts to make, so I'm going to start them in order with last Sunday. I had a very nice Mother's Day. Raegan and I went to church in the morning and we all just kind of lazed around and did some shopping in the afternoon. Instead of going out to eat, we opted to get me an ice cream cake instead. I figured for a special occasion, I could break the special diet a little!

Thoughtful girl!

Glam girl!

Yummy....

Raegan is a Dork, Part Two

Last month, I posted about what a dork my child can be sometimes. Today, I offer you Part Two.

Yes, that is my daughter, playing in the dog's kennel. lol

Spring Soccer

Here's a few pictures from Zane's spring season of soccer.



He had some really good hustle in these last few games. I'm excited for the fall, when we hopefully can get him into the soccer club, which is a bit more professional and competitive.

Because I'm awesome....

Just wanted to share a couple deals I got today:


A couple weeks ago we got a coupon in the mail for $10 off at Lowe's. It was in some flyer about spring projects, and it didn't say that you had to spend any certain amount in order to get the $10 off. It expired tomorrow, so I took it in today to pick out some flowers for my bed in the front yard. I got all of the flowers in the pictures below for a grand total of four cents. Yep, you read that right. The cashier's tone was funny, because she had to double check the monitor a couple times to make sure she was right. Gotta love practically free!

Dillon's is having another 10/$0 sale, and there were a lot of really useful things this time. One of them being MILK! Milk has gotten to be so dang expensive, but $1 for a half gallon is a steal! I got three, because I knew we could go through those just fine before their expiration date. I also had a coupon for the Pringles, so the grand total for everything in the picture, after tax, was $9.82. 

Baby!!!!

My sister in law texted me this afternoon to see if I would watch my nephew Ryan for a couple hours. When I had stopped by there earlier in the afternoon, she mentioned that he wasn't napping or sleeping very well and she was getting really tired and frustrated. I said sure, as long as she came back to get him by 8:30. Raegan took a late nap this afternoon, so I knew she would be up a little later this evening, and I didn't want to interfere with her ability to go to bed.

Raegan was SO! EXCITED! because there was a real baby. IN HER HOUSE. The only problem is that she's twenty months old, so she has no clue that you have to be gentle with the baby and you can't pat the baby nearly as hard as you do the kitty. It's funny because last night her cousin Jacy (who turns a year next month) was over, and Raegan was not too keen on sharing toys with her. But she was all about giving Ryan toys to play with this evening.

After supper he got really fussy, so I put him in The Godsend Swing for awhile. He kind of drifted off, so I left the room to go put away some things from supper. Raegan came running after me fussing, saying, "Baby, baby!" She was very insistent that we NOT leave him alone for a second. She kept wanting to give him his paci and his bottle and kisses. Eventually we had to tell her to back off a bit, because I was afraid she was going to squash him a little bit. lol Raegan kept alternating between calling Ryan "baby" and "Me-dee" (Melody is the name of the baby from daycare) and we had to keep reminding her his name was Ryan. At which point she would growl his name. I guess Ryan does sound a little like "rawr." Silly, silly girl.

Handsome man!

Raegan wanted to be as close as she could possibly get to Ryan

Kisses!

"Nice" pats

Here, have your toy!

You are getting very sleeeeeepy.... :)

A few pics

Raegan loves Radar so much! Now that she's a lot nicer to him, he's pretty tolerant of her.

Hanging out with Daddy

Daddy's Girl

Yesterday when Luke went out to mow, Raegan stood at the door and watched for the longest time. She even brought some toys over to the door and sat and played and kept an eye on Luke while he took care of the front yard. After he moved to the backyard, we went out front for awhile. She is such a big helper, because she got out the broom to help sweep the sidewalk. It was too stinkin' cute!
