Reading

Regan read his first sentence lastnight with out me having to say the words first for him.~~~~~~I see three circles.~~~~~~ What a moment!


I'm a proud meme (that is what he calls me)

Nutcracker

Today Regan and I went with my mom to see The Nutcracker put on by Knox concert series. It was GREAT! The dancers were amazing and you could see the story unfolding while they danced. It was the first time Regan has been to a ballet and he was so good. A few times during the ballet he started trying to dance in his seat! He was so excited and would clap even while the dancers were dancing!! We had a wonderful time and I'm so glad my mom made it work for us to go.
I wish I had taken my camera with us but next time I will for sure!

DIY~ Christmas Shirt!

I'm super excited about a Christmas shirt I made Karly. It is super easy and super CUTE!! I can't sew at all, so making her Christmas outfits is just out of the question for me. Anytime I get to make her something to wear it just means alot to me.




This is a onesie and the Christmas tree is made out of ribbon loops! When the shirt is on the tree fills out more and so you can't see where I messed up on the spacing. Let me know if you want details on how to make it!

I've got lots of ribbon to make her some more in different themes and colors! My favorite is hounds tooth and red!! I can't wait to see her in it!

This last picture is just because she is CUTE!

Day 4

See it didn't take long for me to miss a day on the 30 day challenge! I'm so scattered lately I have lost my favorite camera, keys to our firebox, and some Christmas presents! Oh well so far I have kept up with the kids so I guess I'm doing okay.

Day 4

Your favorite picture of your best friend.

This is Ricky playing on a playground in Tennessee. He is so funny at playgrounds. He will go down every slide and swing on every swing that the kids play on. He is their built in playmate! He makes me want to let go and just have fun!

Day 3

Day 3~ My idea of the perfect date





I have already had the perfect date. It was with Ricky in August of 2001.





We started out going to eat, then we went bowling,to play putt-putt,to the movies,to eat again, to Oxford lake and Wal-Mart! Our date lasted 12 hours! It was also our first date. I made him promise not to cross "the line" but I knew we had something special when we could spend the entire day together and I hated to see him leave that night.



Now my perfect idea of a date would be dinner and just some time to ourselves. We are super blessed because both sets of our parents keep the kids so that we can have some alone time.
