The Swamp!

Yes, we stopped at the Swamp on the way back from Jacksonville. I think Jay was more excited and had more fun running around on the field than the kids did, and that says a lot because they had so much fun! Brennan was a little disappointed that he didn't see Albert though!

A little beach time in Jax!

We went to Jacksonville for the weekend for a birthday party and to visit Lolo and Lola. Since the birthday party was close to the beach, we figured we'd let the kids run around even though it was a little windy and chilly. As usual, they could have cared less! Reagan got a little wet and was a little afraid we didn't have any more clothes for her back at the house.

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles

Finally getting to have some fun playing outdoors! Today the kids played with their big bubble wands. Reagan figured out how to make bubbles... Brennan of course dumped all the bubble stuff on him!

Busch Gardens

Today we went with Carol and Jake to Busch Gardens - another beautiful day to spend outdoors. The kids had a blast.... but not sure if Jake will want to go back with Reagan again. Reagan was too short to do some of the bigger kid rides, so Jake didn't get to do them, although he is tall enough. :)

And just a funny one of Reagan with her sunglasses!

Beautiful Spring Day!

We went to an Easter egg hunt this morning - no pictures from that as it was mobbed and you could barely walk around. It's funny, I don't even think the kids realized how crowded it was and that they even missed the egg hunt. Mommy was too paranoid to let them in with the mob of kids about to storm a tiny area for a few eggs.

Reagan just playing around and showing off her new jacket (the girl LOVES anything long sleeved!).

And Brennan playing with his favorite toy oustide - baseball!

Sea World

We took advantage of the gorgeous weather and spent the day at Sea World!

And of course, Reagan being the big sister here...

Weekend with Bubba

This weekend was Reagan's turn to bring home "Bubba Bear", the class bear. She had been waiting weeks for it to be her turn. She sure didn't disappoint Bubba - he got to do so much over the weekend. He got to hang out with Grandma, Aunt Linda and Kelley while Jay and I were gone on Friday night. They took him to the park and McDonald's on Saturday. On Sunday Bubba got to go to the aquarium and also to Evo's for lunch.

Reagan was very disappointed to have to turn him back to her teacher on Monday, but had fun documenting his weekend in the class book.

Brennan's 2nd Birthday Party

Better late than never, right? :)

A few kids came over for Brennan's birthday party today. They played outside on the swingset and had their faces and hands decorated by the wonderfully talented "Miss Carol"!

I still can't believe my little boy is 2... before I know it he'll be starting kindergarten!

Trip to South Carolina

This weekend my mom and I took the kids to South Carolina to visit Kim and family. This was Reagan's second time on a plane (first was when she was 11 months old) and Brennan's first time. They were both so excited to get to go on an airplane and so excited to see Megan and Gavin.

We had a lot of fun with them... Brennan gravitated towards Gavin and Reagan towards Megan. We all wish they lived closer - or got to come down here more often.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend... they don't do justice for how much fun we had!

Happy New Year!

It has been a while since I've posted on here... between the kids that are constantly keeping me busy and the holidays, I've kind of neglected the blog. I'm going to update with some posts of the past few months, so I'm going to do some older posts.

Just an update... Reagan is definitely giving us a run for our money - she definitely likes drama and is going to be a handful as a teenager! She loves her brother dearly and is very motherly to him, most of the time. Of course there are other times where she wants nothing to do with him because he is playing with her things, but for the most part, she adores him.

Brennan is already two years old - how did he get that old already? He is talking a lot more now - that is when Reagan doesn't answer for him. He too loves his sister... he is so excited to see her after school and doesn't want to go any where with out her. He tries to do everything she does. And her best friends are his best friends too.

Hopefully I'll do better at keeping up with this as I want to print a book each year for the kids.

Happy New Year and best wishes for a great 2010!
