There’s No Place Like Home

Stop hammer time...

2012-02-09T14:48:00.000-06:00

Oh no. I am not kidding.

2012-02-03T11:53:00.002-06:00

I think I want my next car to be…wait for it…a minivan! But not just any minivan. It has to be this one-

The back seats recline! How awesome is that?!

Bodie would so leave me.

Enjoy!

horns down, thumbs up

2012-01-23T10:55:00.011-06:00

This weekend at Ray’s dance studio (Lonestar Dance is ahhh-mazing!) they had their free day of dance. The Texas Pom Squad was there to perform. Reagan was so confused. She loved seeing the pretty girls dance with their pom-poms, but she also knew she was not supposed to like the longhorns. Bodie went to A&M. He was in the Corps. He’s a die-hard Aggie! So yes, I admit it- we have totally brainwashed our four year old. When it was time to take pictures with the girls, they told Ray to put her horns up. Ray then explained to them that we put our horns down (& she showed them how) & our thumbs up. They told her it would be okay to do it just this once for pictures. Reagan’s daddy, however, was not so sure about that. Well when we got home, Reagan went & grabbed her pom poms, ran in to the living room & introduced herself as a longhorn cheerleader. She was cheering go longhorns & put your horns up!
UH-OH.

Bathroom make-over

2012-01-23T10:44:00.003-06:00

Reagan’s bathroom, which is also our spare bathroom, was so white & boring. I decided to get a new shower curtain, paint & put up new décor. I’m quite proud of myself. I did this all on my own, including all the painting. It’s the first time I’ve painted a room all by myself. Now that I’ve done it (& did a great job if I do say so myself!), I’m ready to tackle the rest of the house!

My favorite!

I made this!

Revenge

2012-01-12T10:15:00.001-06:00

Revenge. I love this show! I have been watching it from the beginning & it’s one of those shows I want to go on & on & on.
Watch it!

Fireman Aiden turns the big 3!

2012-01-02T15:34:00.001-06:00

Our crazy Aiden turned 3 New Years Eve. Happy birthday little dude!

Christmas Day 2011

2011-12-26T14:48:00.001-06:00

I hope each of you had a very merry Christmas!

Way too much fun.

2011-12-19T12:05:00.001-06:00

If you need any gift ideas for me, I would really like this Nikon 1. Thanks in advance!

Busy, Busy, Busy, Busy

2011-12-19T11:17:00.002-06:00

Thursday night was the Christmas program at Ray’s preschool. As always, this was absolutely adorable! Friday night was my work Christmas party. Very entertaining.

Saturday night I took Kate to see The Nutcracker. She had never been before. That just seems wrong that the girl had never seen The Nutcracker! She loved it!

Sunday night Mutti, Kyra, Reagan, & I saw Beauty & the Beast. It was so good! Reagan really enjoyed it. When my girl hears music, though, she just can’t help herself. She was dancing & spinning & most likely driving everyone around us crazy. I asked her at one point to sit down. She told me that she couldn’t. She said, “I have to dance!”

5...4...2...1

2011-12-15T10:30:00.002-06:00

Where has my sweet little Reagan gone? She has been sick so I’m sure her not feeling well is what is causing her to act like such a stinker. But she is driving me just a little bit crazy. Nothing I say even fazes her anymore. I used to be able to say (in my best serious mom voice), “Reagan Lynae Warren!” & that would get her attention. Now when I say that, she rolls her eyes. Well actually she hasn’t fully mastered the eye roll, so it’s more like a head roll & moving her eyes back & forth real fast. The roll is usually followed by a big sigh & a “whatever”. I also used to be able to do the countdown. But now when I say 5…she quickly says, “4 – 2 – 1 – Blastoff!” She forgets that 3 every single time. I, by the way, never have ended that by saying blastoff. She is a mess! She’s lucky she’s so darn cute.

Hallelujah!

2011-12-14T14:51:00.000-06:00

Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

Thanks Clark W. Griswold!

When I grow up…

2011-12-13T11:59:00.001-06:00

Every stuffed animal and baby doll in our house is named either Lela or Kimpsey. Since Reagan obviously likes those names so much, I asked her if she thought when she grew up & had a baby if she might would name her baby Lela or Kimpsey.

Me: Reagan when you grow up & become a mommy & have a little baby girl, do you think you’ll name her either Lela or Kimpsey?
Ray: When I grow up I’m not going to be a mommy.
Me: Oh you’re not?
Ray: No. When I grow up I’m just going to be a cheerleader.

Lovely.

Oh Zack Morris

2011-12-12T11:38:00.001-06:00

After watching this super cheesy movie last night, 12 Dates of Christmas, I’m in love with Zack Morris…I mean Mark-Paul Gosselaar…all over again! Seriously, how cute is he?

My Goodies

2011-12-09T15:06:00.002-06:00

Last night was our big cookie decorating class. Before going, I could not understand why in the world this class had to be 3 hours long. But after doing everything, I totally get it.
I started off taking notes (only because it seemed that’s what everyone else what doing). Then they started saying things like vanilla bean paste & I was like, who am I kidding! Most of the class for me was like listening to someone speak in a foreign language. So when it came time to decorate, I did whatever Tara did!

My cookies may not have turned out exactly like the teacher’s, but they still taste pretty darn good. My daughter thinks they are so pretty & sparkly. She even said she was proud of me!

These below are Tara's cookies. (Hers looked better than the teacher's.)

Cookie Decorating Class

2011-12-08T10:16:00.000-06:00

My mother-in-law bought me & my sister-in-law a deal from LivingSocial to take a baking/decorating class at All in One Bake Shop. Finally, a year later, we are taking our class tonight.
If you know me at all, you know that I am quite the baker. I am also very crafty. Ha! I am so neither of those things.
Here is a description of the class we will be taking:
Learn techniques for decorating beautiful seasonal themed cookies. Cookie baking, royal icing, flooding, fondant, piping and use of sprinkles and a number of other techniques are typically covered. Recipes will be provided. Each student will leave with their own decorated cookies from this hands on class.
Royal icing? Flooding? Piping? What?! Now, sprinkles I know. But what in the world is this other stuff. I suppose I will find out tonight. In my 3 hour long class! I should be a professional by the time I leave there tonight.
Honestly, I do think this will be fun. I foresee lots of laughs in our future!

Our Christmas Postcard

2011-12-04T12:27:00.001-06:00

In case our child had a black eye in the Christmas postcard you received in the mail from us...this is what the picture should have looked like!

Merry Christmas from the Warrens!

Jingle Bell Jam Holiday Benefit

2011-12-04T11:29:00.002-06:00

Yesterday was Lonestar’s holiday benefit. Ray was super cute! Of course!

Lots of catching up to do!

2011-12-04T11:07:00.004-06:00

Here’s what all I’ve missed posting about on the ole blog…

We went to see The Domain’s Lighting of the Great Tree!

We gave thanks.

We cheered for our Ags!

We attended the Chuy's Children Giving to Children Parade.

We celebrated this little cutie turning FOUR!!!!

Ray’s birthday party

2011-12-02T11:38:00.002-06:00

I feel like I’ve been neglecting my blog. There has just been so much going on.

A few weeks ago (3 to be exact), we had Reagan’s birthday party with all her little friends. Her party was at Capital where Ray takes gymnastics. Let me tell you, if you need an idea of where to have your little ones birthday party- do it at Capital Gymnastics! The staff was amazing & the kiddos had such a good time.
I thank all our friends & family who came to help us celebrate this special day. A very big thank you to my friend, Kelly, who made all the yummy cupcakes & cake pops. Please contact her at Bootstrap Bakery if you need tasty treats made for any occasion. She can do anything!

Our Momma B

2011-11-21T11:32:00.004-06:00

This year has not been a great year. I will have no problem saying goodbye to 2011.
We lost our Daddy B in January of this year. Our Momma B passed away on Friday. Those two might possibly be the sweetest people I have ever known. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have known them both & how very lucky I am to be able to call them my family.
Today would have been their 67th wedding anniversary. As much as I’m going to miss them both, I can’t help but smile thinking about them being reunited.

Sarah Blackmore, age 88, passed away on November 18, 2011 at a Scott & White in Temple, Texas. She was born on February 24, 1923 in Maplesville, Alabama, the daughter of Jasper and Verdie May (King) Perry.

Sarah met her husband of 66 years, Donald D. Blackmore, while they were both serving in the military. Mr. Blackmore preceded Sarah in death on January 21, 2011. She is survived by her son, Ron Blackmore and wife Rhonda of Elgin; daughter, B.K. Warren and husband Sam of Pflugerville; grandchildren, Tara Stewart and husband Joshua, and Bodie Warren and wife Stacey; and great-grandchildren, Kyra, Aiden, and Calen Stewart and Reagan Warren. She is survived by her sisters, Kathleen Davis, Vivian Bice, Patty Headley, Joanna Sims of Alabama and Peggy Porter of Georgia. She is also survived by many other loving family members and dear friends.

Family was important to Sarah and her extended family included associates from both "old and new" Seton hospital, where she was employed for 20 years in the surgical area. Known as "Momma B" to her family and to many of her friends, Sarah never met a stranger. She loved to entertain and turned the simplest family gathering into a celebration. Sarah was known and loved for her southern hospitality, charm and delicious southern cooking.

There will be a visitation for family and friends on Monday, November 21, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Funeral Home in Pflugerville. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at First United Methodist Church, 907 W. Lake Drive, Taylor. Interment with military honors will follow at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery in Pflugerville.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting contributions be made to First United Methodist Church in Taylor.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to Dr. Nathan Cohen, to the staff of Scott & White and to Heatherwilde Assisted Living, and to Hannah Slaughter for their loving care and support.

Rhonda’s Rally

2011-11-15T09:50:00.004-06:00

This past weekend a benefit was held for Rhonda Blackmore. Rhonda is Bodie’s aunt who was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in September. She has been in a coma ever since. The money that was raised from the benefit went directly to Ron & Rhonda to help pay for some of Rhonda’s medical costs. The medical bills, as you can imagine, are growing more & more every minute. I was amazed at the number of people who showed for the benefit. It was awesome to see. I just learned of the grand total that was raised. All I can say is Wow! We know some very thoughtful, caring, just plain incredible people!

Happy Halloween!

2011-11-01T09:46:00.000-05:00

I hope everyone had as much fun trick-or-treating as we did!

Costume #3

2011-10-31T11:16:00.001-05:00

This weekend we went to Claire’s birthday party to celebrate her turning 4. Her party was also a costume party. So Ray got to once again dress up! This time she was Cinderella!
Stay tuned for costume #4…

PCCP Fall Fest

2011-10-28T13:24:00.001-05:00

Today is the Fall Fest at Ray’s school. She is able to dress up for this & had picked out a Barbie princess dress to wear. Of course she picked this out last week when it was still around 90 degrees outside! This morning it was much cooler. She had to wear a long sleeved shirt & pants under her dress. She didn’t seem to mind though.

Costume Week at Lonestar

2011-10-27T10:44:00.002-05:00

The girls got to dress in costume at dance class yesterday. We went with something easy that we could just attach to her leotard- a cat!
My mom brought her to me at work so I could change her there & get her all kitty-fied. She had to walk through the shop to go show off to her Pop. One of the guys out there said, “Hey kitty!” To which Ray quickly responded with, “Hey tiger!” I had to tell her that we shouldn’t say that to people we don’t know…or really to anyone for that matter. ;)
Reagan makes a pretty stinkin cute kitty cat, don’t you think?!

Most of Reagan's dance class.

She passed out on the short car drive home. She managed to keep that sucker in her mouth, though.

When we got home (& she woke up!), she went to change out of her dance clothes. I walked in her room to find this...

Happy Thursday everyone!

Pumpkins!

2011-10-25T10:49:00.003-05:00

Last night the family came over to decorate pumpkins. It’s always most entertaining! Bodie definitely wins with his “Cinderella” pumpkin.

Pumpkin Party

2011-10-24T11:59:00.001-05:00

We had a blast at Savanah’s pumpkin party! Savanah’s mommy had all kinds of crafts for the kiddos to do, so much yummy food & she even had a professional face painter there. Everyone had a great time! We sure are going to miss that family when they move to San Antonio.

Sweet Berry Farm

2011-10-17T11:43:00.002-05:00

Yesterday we took the 10 hour drive to Marble Falls just to check out Sweet Berry Farm. After driving forever down the very curvy road, past the dead cow, we finally made it. Of course we would have to drive all the way out to the middle of nowhere just to see the beautiful Varela family (who live right down the road from us)! So Sweet Berry Farm was pretty cool. We will for sure have to travel back there some time when the weather gets cooler. It was just too dang hot out there yesterday. We tried to do everything they had to offer (minus the big Texas Maze that we heard would take roughly an hour to navigate through) & eat all the yummy ice cream they had. We left Sweet Berry Farm quite a bit smellier & for sure sweatier than what we were when we arrived. But we had fun!

TMI

2011-10-13T09:13:00.002-05:00

Last night as I’m putting Reagan to bed, we had quite an interesting conversation.

Reagan: Mommy, when I was born did you have to push your feet down real hard to get me out of your belly?
Me: Yes I did. (This isn’t the first time she’s asked me this. I want to know who in the world told her that’s how it’s done!)
Reagan: Then you had me at the hospital & I was a little bitty baby girl but now I’m all growed up & I’m a big girl.
Me: Yup. (I’m just trying to get out the door now.)
Reagan rolls over & puts her little arm around her Pocahontas doll.
Reagan: That’s how it was with me & Pocahontas. I pushed & pushed my feet until she came out of my belly. Then she was a little bitty baby. Now look at her. She’s such a big girl.
Me: Okay, goodnight honey. I love you.

What in the world?! Where does she come up with this stuff?!

World’s easiest pumpkin!

2011-10-11T13:06:00.001-05:00

I do not like carving pumpkins. It’s gross & the smell makes me gag. Bodie loves doing it, though, so I leave that up to him & his little assistant.
My mom found these super cool & easy pumpkins to do for Ray. It’s basically just all stickers. She had fun doing it & it didn’t leave a stinky mess!

Tea Party

2011-10-08T15:11:00.001-05:00

We were invited today to our first tea party. The girls were so cute! Elly & Savanah are both in Reagan’s dance class. They have become quite the buds. Seriously, how adorable is this?!

I heart Shaq

2011-10-08T14:46:00.002-05:00

As you know, I love anything Shaquille O'Neal. Last night I made Bodie take me to Shaq’s All Star Comedy Jam at the Paramount. We were a little nervous when we walked in & looked around at everyone. But the show was great & by the time we left my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.

She is her father’s daughter.

2011-10-07T12:12:00.002-05:00

Reagan has always had horrible allergies. Just like her dad. After seeing a specialist yesterday we learned what we were already afraid of- that she has asthma. Just like her dad. So we’re on 2 different nose sprays 3 times a day & inhaler twice a day, plus rescue inhaler as needed. Last night was our first attempt with the inhaler. It went better than I expected. Now this morning, on the other hand, was a little bit more of a battle.
Today after school Ray has to go get chest x-rays done. Then in 6 weeks she’ll have her skin test appointment. Anyone what to volunteer to take her to that appointment?

What rest time?

2011-09-21T15:04:00.002-05:00

I can only recall one day last school year that Reagan actually napped at school. This school year just began, but she has already napped. Once. That one day, though, I was super excited. I thought maybe we were starting something new. But now I’m thinking maybe not so much. She apparently prefers napping in a real bed. I guess I can’t really blame her.

Today Ray’s teacher sent me this picture during the kiddos rest time…

Ray was the only one awake so she got pampered & Ms. Tina made her hair beautiful! My first thought when I saw this picture was- man, I really wish I knew how to French braid Ray’s hair! Then I thought- maybe we should talk about picking her up from school before rest time begins. I don’t want her in there possibly keeping the other kids up. But then I also don’t want her to be the only kid who gets picked up an hour early from school. I don’t know. I suppose I should ask her teacher what she thinks.

Another weekend recap.

2011-09-12T10:19:00.002-05:00

Saturday mornings are gymnastics. We are so happy with the new Capital that’s opened closer to our home. Since moving to the new location, Ray’s class has doubled in size. Reagan’s Nana got to come to gymnastics for the first time this past Saturday. Boy was Nana in for a treat. Watching through the windows, we (along with every other parent there) could see Reagan in all her bossiness. She was cutting in line. She had her hands on her hips shaking her head at the other kids telling them who only knows what! She was pushing another little girl around (I say little, but the girl was twice as big as Reagan!). It was awful. I was so embarrassed. When class ended I had a little chat with my wild child. She apologized & said she would tell the other kids she was sorry. Bodie will be off this weekend, so I’m thinking I can just tell him good luck & send him alone with our sassy daughter. ;)
Later Saturday came Ashlyn’s birthday party. Reagan had really been looking forward to this. She has missed Ashlyn so much now that they don’t go to school on the same days anymore. They were both so very excited to see one another & they had a great time playing. So much fun in fact that come time to leave, Reagan did not want to go. She fought me, hit me, yelled at me. It was awesome. Once we finally made it out the door, she ran away from me & in to the street. When we got home I had another little chat with my wild child. I asked her if she knew why I was upset. She of course said she did not. So I began giving her a recap. I said, “You were bossy this morning in gymnastics…” Before I could finish she started repeating everything, “I was bossy today at gymnastics…” This continued each time I’d say something she did, she would repeat it to me. Then I said, “You hit mommy & you hurt my feelings…” She started to repeat it, “I hit mommy &…Oh mommy, I’m so sorry for that. That was not nice.” So for hitting me, she truly was sorry. Until next time anyway.
Sunday was a new day. It started off great with my husband letting me sleep in a little bit. Oh how I miss sleeping in. Then me & the girl went over to my parents for what we like to call Family Fun Day Sunday! We had a nice lunch with the fam & a delicious dessert. After eating & playing cards we went to sit outside. Reagan wanted to dip her feet in the pool. About 2 minutes later she was all the way in the pool. After we got her dried off & changed, we went up to the football field for a 9-11 memorial service. It was very nice. I was quite impressed with small town Pflugerville. It was a wonderful, emotional ceremony.
I hope all of you had a great weekend!
Happy Monday.

Day 1 of Year 2 of Preschool

2011-09-07T11:39:00.002-05:00

Today was Reagan’s first day of her second year of preschool! She has been super excited about school. She has told everyone who will listen about her teacher, Ms. Tina. She does keep asking me about Ashlyn (her BF last year) & Eggward (Edward…the one she’s planning on marrying) & doesn’t understand why they won’t be in her class. She was all smiles, though, this morning. Right up until we arrived at her classroom. Then everything changed. Neither of us cried, but her little eyes were starting to turn red & I knew she was trying to hold back the tears. It made me so sad. But I just had to tell myself that I’m sure less than 5 minutes after me walking away she had probably already forgot about me & was playing & having a great time.

weekend recap in pictures

2011-09-06T11:54:00.003-05:00

What else?

2011-09-02T10:58:00.001-05:00

I am a worrier. I think anyone who knows me knows that. I worry about everything.
My sister had a “mild” heart attack a few weeks back. She’s 40. (She’ll love that I just put her age on here.) Turns out she had an infection around the lining of her heart. She’s doing much better now, but I still worry about her & her health.
Wednesday, August 31st, Calen Parker Stewart was born. 7 pounds 15 ounces & 19.5 inches long. He’s had a rough start & has been in NICU due to fluid in his lungs. He will remain in NICU until he’s discharged, which hopefully will be tomorrow. I worry about him & just want him to be healthy & get home.
Yesterday Rhonda was in a motorcycle accident. A pretty serious one from what I understand. She’s in a hospital now in Lubbock (she was on a ride to the Grand Canyon). I of course am worried about her because of the severity of her injuries.
Along with all this has also been more personal things going on in my life. My stomach is just in knots. My body apparently deals with stress by breaking out. You could literally play connect the dots on my face right now. If one more thing happens, I’m pretty sure my face will just turn in to one giant zit.

Oklahoma!

2011-08-29T12:49:00.005-05:00

We took a little road trip to Oklahoma this past weekend to go visit Katelyn. Reagan was really excited to go on a “baycation” to see her Kate. The 6+ hour car ride there really wasn’t all that bad (other than the dog staring at me the entire way). We kept ourselves entertained with Words With Friends & several Disney movies. Once there, oh my goodness- I love this town. Kate’s school is in Edmond, OK. Edmond is beautiful. It’s so clean & pretty. The streets are lined with trees. I want to move there. Oklahoma Christian is a very small school. A small campus. But it was really nice, too. We went to their soccer game Saturday night. It was actually kind of nice out there. The wind was blowing through our hair. At literally the last minute of the game, though, one of the girls got hurt pretty badly. It was one of Kate’s really good friends, Alysha- an older girl who has taken care of Kate her first weeks there & taken her under her wing. Fire trucks came & then the ambulance came to take her to the hospital. Reagan was very upset by all this. Reagan kept asking what happened to her best friend, Alysha (She has never met this girl before by the way!), & if she was going to be ok (Which she was not. She broke her tibia & fibula.). Reagan continued to ask about her best friend until she finally just crashed out. Then yesterday morning we had to go to Target to get Felicia a card. Reagan picked her out a very appropriate “Happy Birthday” card! Finally, we got on the road to begin our long journey home. About every 5 minutes we were asked, “Are we in Pflugabill yet?” What seemed like a decade later, we arrived back home.

We had a wonderful, eventful, fun weekend seeing our Kate. I can’t wait to go back & do it all over again!

Circus time!

2011-08-24T10:38:00.001-05:00

Yes, I know I’m a little behind posting this…but this past weekend we went to the circus! Apparently I failed to take pictures of the actual circus, but Reagan is much cuter to look at anyway!

What a beautiful singer!

2011-08-19T10:07:00.001-05:00

I have no idea where she gets this stuff. I swear I do NOT sing like this. She, however, does think she’s the greatest singer of all time. She says one day she’ll teach me how to sing.
Enjoy.

For Tara & Baby Calen

2011-08-16T11:26:00.004-05:00

Last night the girls in the family got together to surprise Tara with a little baby shower. We had a wonderful time visiting & opening presents. We are all just counting down the days until Calen arrives (19 to be exact!).

Sunnyside

2011-08-10T15:58:00.003-05:00

I was trying to explain to Reagan (the best I could to a 3 year old) where her Kate was going & why she wasn’t going to get to see her for a little while.

Me: Kate’s going away to go to school.
Ray: Where is she going?
Me: Oklahoma.
Ray: Oh Okrahoma. Why does she have to go to school in Okrahoma?
Me: That’s where she’s going to college.
Ray: Kate’s going to college? Are we going to Sunnyside?

If you’ve seen Toy Story 3, you’ll know why I found that quite humorous!

“Sunnyside is a place of ruin and despair, ruled by an evil bear who smells of strawberries.”…apparently Ray must think that’s what it’ll be like here without her Kate.

What a day.

2011-08-09T22:26:00.002-05:00

Today I say goodbye to my Kate, who is going off to college in Oklahoma. I’m so sad to see her go. But I am also so very proud of her. I know she’ll be our little superstar on the soccer field & do great in school. She is an incredibly amazing girl.

This is my Katy Bug’s kindergarten picture. She was adorable then, & she’s even more beautiful today.

Now to something maybe a little more upbeat...today my sister has been married for 20 years! (Man she's old.) Let's take a look back, shall we, & remember what that beautiful day looked like 20 years ago.

It looked like someone threw up flowers.

Happy anniversary Melissa & Gary!

Our Kate

2011-08-08T12:07:00.003-05:00

The family got together yesterday to spend some time with Katelyn. For some, it was the last time they’d see her before she goes off to Oklahoma on Wednesday. I have held it together this entire time, but now as I type this post, I’m getting all teary-eyed. We are all just really going to miss this girl.

WHAAAAT?!
It’s so FLUFFY!!!!!
(It’s a Reagan & Katelyn thing)

The Dinosaur Park

2011-08-06T18:45:00.001-05:00

Today we ventured out to Cedar Creek to check out The Dinosaur Park for the first time. Our sweet friend from dance class, Elly, is very much in to dinosaurs & today she had her birthday party out at this Dino Park. It was a pretty cool place. Well the word “cool” probably isn’t the best way to describe it since it was about 150 degrees out today. But we will definitely take a trip back to this place…I’m thinking maybe November-ish!

Capital Gymnastics Showcase

2011-07-30T17:31:00.000-05:00

Today was the Capital Gymnastics Showcase. I have no idea what that means. We’re newbies ya know. But I got some super cute pics of my Ray Gizzle out of it, so enjoy!

Sweet Baby Avery

2011-07-30T17:23:00.001-05:00

Last night we got to meet Avery Wallace for the very first time. She is almost 2 months old. She is so tiny. I was telling Bodie that I can’t remember Reagan ever being that small, but I know she was. Avery is just the sweetest thing ever! I was happy to get to spend the evening with the Wallace’s, Toth’s & Trussell’s.

A question for the mommies…

2011-07-27T09:16:00.001-05:00

It’s been getting harder & harder to get Reagan to take her naps. I feel like she still needs them. I especially feel like she could have used a nap when in the evening she acts like a crazy child & fights me & screams & cries. She, on the other hand, doesn’t feel that she needs those naps most of the time.
During the week, since I have to work all day, I only get a few hours in the evenings & at night to spend with her. It really stinks when we spend most of that time fighting one another. It stinks even more when Bodie is working nights, therefore not home, & I have to be single mom & do this on my own. It just gets exhausting. But she’s not that crazy child all the time. I feel like it’s only that bad when she didn’t get a nap that day. I wonder though if it’s really the naps, or if she’s just simply acting like a 3 year old.
So I want to ask the mommies, when did your little ones stop taking naps?

Reagan’s first mani-pedi

2011-07-25T09:40:00.001-05:00

Kate & I took Reagan to get her very first ever mani-pedi over the weekend. She absolutely loved it! She talked & talked & talked the entire time to the lady that was doing her nails, “Judy”. When we left, she gave all the ladies hugs & told them she’d see them next time!
What have I started!

Reagan’s interpretative dance

2011-07-22T09:51:00.001-05:00

Enjoy.

New (to us) movies!

2011-07-18T10:12:00.001-05:00

Bodie & I are always way behind on movies because we very rarely make it to the theater. We finally watched a couple this weekend that I’m sure everyone but us has already seen!

First we watched Easy A. I loved it. Bodie, not so much. I think I may have a small crush on Emma Stone.

Next we watched The Social Network. Good movie. I liked it. Mark Zuckerberg is too smart. But he’s a 20-something year old billionaire genius! My favorite line, “If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.”

Finally, we watched Black Swan. I think I’m still trying to recover from that one. I can totally see now why Natalie Portman won the best actress Academy Award for her role in this movie. She made me believe 100% that she was absolute nuts!

A few new movies that I’m hoping to see maybe by next year are Horrible Bosses, Friends with Benefits, & Crazy, Stupid, Love.

The next Shannon Miller?

2011-07-16T18:53:00.001-05:00

Today Reagan started gymnastics at Capital Gymnastics. Boy that place has not changed a bit! Luckily, they have a new facility with all new equipment opening up not far from our house in the next month or so. Reagan had a blast though. She loved everything about it! She was super sweaty by the end but was all smiles. She said she couldn’t wait to go back!

What’s in a name?

2011-07-14T13:42:00.001-05:00

I like hearing how people came up with the names they did for their children. One friend named their daughter after their mother’s maiden name & another after their own maiden name. I think that is just the coolest. Of course you would have to have a good last name for that to work. For example, I don’t think Stubblefield would have worked out.

Bodie’s name came from his dad. His dad’s nickname was Bodie. But if you know Bodie well, you know that his first name is actually Nikolas. That name came from his sister. She liked little Nicholas on Eight Is Enough. I’ve always wondered if you’re going to go by your middle name, then why isn’t that just your first name? It’s the same thing with my mom & grandmother. My mom’s name is Frances Louise (she goes by Louise) & my grandmother is Minnie Lou (she goes by Lou). Well actually I can totally understand why they each go by their middle names!

I’ve heard a few stories of where my names came from. It’s everything from ex-girlfriends to strippers. If that really is the case, I guess things could have been worse for me. I could have been Cherry or Coco!

Reagan, as some assume, was not named after Ronald Reagan. While Bodie & I do think he was a great president, she was not named after him. If she was going to be named after any president, it would have been John F. Kennedy. Bodie loves everything JFK. We thought about naming Reagan Kennedy at one time, but Bodie said he couldn’t get the image of MTV VJ Kennedy out of his head! Now her middle name was taken from one of my old friends. I always loved her middle name, Lynae. It’s also fun to tell people she was named after a friend of mine. Bodie & I hope that with that name, Reagan may also get a little bit of that personality & wit of hers that we love so much & of course beauty.

So how did yours or your kiddos names come about?

Planking

2011-07-11T16:12:00.002-05:00

I just don’t get this planking thing. Have y’all seen pictures of people doing this? I looked up planking to try to get some insight because I thought I must be missing something. Wikipedia says “Planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank. It has its origins in the "lying down game".” People lying down? Well that’s what I thought it was.
I still don’t get it, I guess.

Do any of you Plank?

Today we celebrate…

2011-07-04T21:38:00.000-05:00

…our Independence Day!!

Jamie turns the big 3 – 0!

2011-07-04T21:13:00.002-05:00

This past weekend Bodie & I went down to the Riverwalk to party with the Trussell’s & help celebrate Jamie turning 30! We had an absolute blast! I have not partied like that in quite some time so I was really hurting yesterday. It was totally worth it though. We spent the majority of our night at Howl at the Moon- a dueling piano bar. So much fun! Of course we had to get Jamie up on stage & embarrass the heck out of her!

The whole group of us: Bodie, me, Shannon, AJ, Keith, Shanna, Jamie & Brent

New find?

2011-07-01T09:29:00.002-05:00

I always like to think that I’m the first to find a great new thing. For example, I thought I was the first to find Pandora Radio. When I found Pandora just a couple of months ago, I was excited to tell Bodie about it. He laughed at me for thinking it was new & then proceeded to ask me if I have ever heard of this great new site called Myspace. Ha. Ha. Whatever.

Anyway, I have now stumbled on a new iPhone app called GasBuddy. It finds the cheapest gas closest to you. I filled up yesterday for $3.21 thanks to my new little app.
Perhaps this is just another thing that’s been around for a while & you already know about it…but if by some chance you do not, you should get the app. Just make sure you tell everyone that you heard about it from me first. ;)

Reagan’s “sleep-over”

2011-06-28T17:56:00.001-05:00

We left Thursday morning for Port Aransas & just returned this afternoon. We had a great vacation! Reagan called it her “sleep-over”. She had a blast! She loved the beach & playing in the sand. Where we stayed, Cinnamon Shore, they had the best swimming pool. Plus she got to do a little fishing. It was perfect. If you are planning a beach trip yourself, I highly recommend Cinnamon Shore.
Now I’m off to do a ton of laundry & try to prepare myself for what I’m sure will be a fabulous day at work tomorrow…blah.

Princess Daddy

2011-06-28T17:42:00.001-05:00

The night before Reagan & I left for our trip to the beach, she had to make sure her daddy was all beautiful!

a little vacay

2011-06-22T09:57:00.002-05:00

Today is my Wednesday/Friday because tomorrow morning we head out to Port Aransas. Yeaa! It’ll just be the girls this trip, oh well us girls & then Korbin & a friend of his who I’m guessing is a boy. They’ll be our manly-men. Bodie has training in Oklahoma, Gary has to work, Pawpaw just can’t do it & Dad, well Dad just would rather not hang with all us girls I’m sure.

I’m so excited for a little get away. I know Ray will love the beach & will also love getting all kinds of dirty in the sand. I should have never told her we were going to the beach, though. She has no concept of time so every day she’s asked me if we’re going to the beach today. The other day I finally told her, “No, we’re going to the beach on Thursday.” So now she asks, “Is today that day…um…what is that day’s name again? Oh yeah, Thursday. Is today Thursday?” I told her that we were going to be staying in a house on the beach. I would just love to know what she has pictured in her little mind because she asked me if we were going to have a dryer at our beach house & trash cans. Then she asked my mom if there would be a microwave there. All very random things to ask for.
Tomorrow will finally be that day called Thursday & I’m super excited to get on the road.

This will be our home for the next 5 days. Cute, right?!

She’s fishing. In a pool.

2011-06-21T10:00:00.000-05:00

Such a good daddy!

2011-06-20T14:57:00.002-05:00

This morning some of our dance class friends were getting together for a little play date. Since I have to work (boo.), I was unable to go but I knew Reagan would have so much fun with these girls. So I asked Bodie, who happened to be off, if he would mind spending the morning with some sweet ladies & their cute daughters at Hoppin’ Hippo! Being the good man that he is, he agreed. I’m sure when we agreed, though, he had no idea he’d be there for 2 and a half hours!

One of the mommies sent me this picture of the girls. So sweet! My child has on the beautiful dress-up clothes, then there is Savanah & Elly, too!

Happy Father’s Day!

2011-06-19T09:41:00.001-05:00

Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy a Ray Gizzle & a Bucka could ever ask for!

(By the way, Reagan picked that gift bag out especially for her daddy because as she said, “my daddy loves Maximus the Horse!”)

recital videos

2011-06-18T21:52:00.000-05:00

Check out our YouTube channel for recital videos from their dress rehearsal. Cuteness!

Reagan has attitude

2011-06-17T11:32:00.002-05:00

While being bossy & telling me to go get one of her Barbie’s, I politely ask, “Reagan, which Barbie? What does she look like?” Reagan looks at me as if I just asked the dumbest question ever then responds with, “She looks like a Barbie, Mom.”

While sitting at the table eating, Bodie smelled something & asks who stinks. I say jokingly, “Well Reagan & I have both had baths this morning. So who is the only one at the table that has not had a bath yet today?” Reagan points her thumb at her daddy, rolls her eyes & says, “This guy.”, never skipping a beat.

While trying to rush out the door for camp, Reagan yells at me from the hallway, “Mom do you want me to just leave without you?...I’m opening the door...1......2…...3…...”

Now I wonder wherever could she get this all from??

other happenings…

2011-06-14T10:26:00.001-05:00

After the big dance recital Saturday, we headed down to Black Rock Park on Lake Buchanan for the annual Worthey family reunion. I was most excited to see this little one, sweet Madison Sue. How cute is she?! I love those cheeks.
Now just yesterday, guess who had to go to the hospital? Yup, Katelyn. If something is going to happen, it’s going to happen to Kate. Seriously. She had appendicitis & got to have her appendix removed yesterday. She’s doing well today & will hopefully be going home in the next couple of hours.

The Big Recital!

2011-06-13T12:27:00.008-05:00

This past weekend was Reagan’s big dance recital. Oh my goodness. Can we say cute! She did awesome! I was one proud momma.
I was also one flustered momma. I have no idea why I get myself so worked up. So to our family that came for the big performance, I apologize if I wasn’t very social.
Friday we had the rehearsal & they allowed us to take pictures & video then. So most of the pictures below are from rehearsal. Reagan performed in 3 dances- ballet, tap & then the big finale.

We are so very proud of our little Ray Gizzle!

Fellow bloggers…

2011-06-07T11:18:00.000-05:00

Has anyone been having problems leaving comments on my blog posts? I tried to comment on one of Melissa’s posts today & blogger kept kicking me back to the sign in page & I was never able to leave the comment. Then I noticed on Allena’s blog that she was having the same problem. I suppose it’s silly asking if you are having trouble leaving comments on my blog…because if you can’t comment, well then you can’t comment to tell me. Ha! Anyway, Melissa I do just want to tell you that the picture of David with the mask is the most hilarious thing ever!

I feel pretty

2011-06-05T17:23:00.001-05:00

Ray had her recital pictures taken this weekend. She did a great job hamming it up for the photographer. I can’t wait to see the pictures he got.

After we got home I decided to try to test out the makeup Ray will have to wear next weekend for the recital. I think she really enjoyed getting all dolled up. She said super excitedly, “I can’t wait for Daddy to get home & see me with all my makeup on!” I thought…me too! Ha!

Kate Graduates!

Sneak Peak

2011-05-26T09:45:00.001-05:00

Reagan’s big dance recital is coming up in a couple of weeks. Here is a preview of how cute my tiny dancer is going to be!

2011-05-25T11:37:00.000-05:00

I think of you every day. And today you’re 11! I can’t believe it.

Happy birthday to you.

Last day as a “Playful Pup”

2011-05-24T14:16:00.007-05:00

Today was Reagan’s last day of preschool. Her first year at preschool by the way. I’m a little emotional. We feel so lucky to have gotten her in to Pflugerville Community Church Preschool. I feel even luckier that we had the awesome teachers that we did, Ms. Laurie & Ms. Clarissa. When I picked Ray up from school today, Ms. Laurie handed me an album filled with pictures from throughout the year. I knew when I looked at all those pictures I’d be a mess, so I waited until now to look at them. Guess what? I’m a mess. I know we’ll see all these wonderful people again very soon. I mean, she’s going there for summer camp just next month for heaven’s sake. But I’m still just a little sad. If you need a preschool for your kiddos, you really should look in to PCC Preschool. They have the greatest teachers & director.
OK so enough of that. Now look at these super cute pictures of my Ray Gizzle…

Getting ready to leave for school.

She's too cool for school.

Reagan & Ms. Clarissa

With her BFF, Ashlyn

And finally, Ms. Laurie!

HHS Senior Awards Ceremony

2011-05-18T09:54:00.008-05:00

Last night was Hendrickson’s Senior Awards Ceremony where the academic & scholarship awards were handed out.

(My camera stinks so the quality of the pictures are not so great.)

The Zachary Vasquez Memorial Scholarship Kate received was probably the most special to us all. We all got a little teary-eyed.

We are all so very proud of our Katelyn!

The Voice

2011-05-11T10:12:00.003-05:00

Are any of you watching The Voice? It’s my new favorite show. I have to admit I’m crushing a little bit on Blake Shelton now. But also on this girl, Vicci Martinez. Holy cow she’s awesome!

Austin Children’s Museum

2011-05-09T11:58:00.002-05:00

This weekend we went to the Austin Children’s Museum (for the first time) to celebrate Miss. Gracyn’s 3rd birthday. What a cool place! Reagan had so much fun. So much fun, in fact, she didn’t want to leave. She threw a huge fit in the middle of the place when it was time for us to go. She kicked me, smacked me, cried, screamed. It was awesome. The worst part, though, was when I finally was able to get her out of the middle of everything & off to the side, she started yelling “I want my mommy!” Oh yes we got some looks. Why in the world would she say that?! Who knows? Anyway, here are some pics from before the crazy started.

Daddy’s straight up gangsta

Disney on Ice Princess Wishes

2011-05-02T11:01:00.001-05:00

Yesterday Bodie & I took Reagan to the Cedar Park Center to see Disney Princesses on Ice. Reagan loved it…so much so that now she wants to be an ice skater she said!

Fair?

2011-04-29T13:34:00.004-05:00

So when both my sister & I got our drivers licenses, we were taken to the junk yard at our shop to pick out a new car. My sister ended up with a 1980-something Buick Regal pee yellow. (I’m certain she actually did not pick that out.) The Buick was rebuilt & given to my sister to drive. Not too long after she got the car, she wrecked it. It was totaled. She hoped perhaps she’d then get a real new car. Nope, Dad just rebuilt the Buick again & even painted it the same pee yellow color.
Fast forward now to me. I threw a fit & tried explaining to my family that most people go to car dealerships to pick out a new car, not a junk yard. So I was given an old 1980-something Oldsmobile 88. The Olds was rebuilt & given to me to drive. Not too long after I got the car, I wrecked it. But the Olds was beyond repair since I rolled the thing over several times. So another wrecked hoopty was repaired & given to me instead.
I guess my dad must have known what absolutely horrible drivers his girls were going to be.

Now fast forward again but this time to my rotten niece & nephew.
Last night they each got brand new Mustangs! Nice right?

Baby Names

2011-04-28T10:46:00.004-05:00

Since I found out that I will be having another Nephew, I have been wondering what he’s going to look like & what his name may be. Then I got curious & was trying to remember what boy names Bodie & I had come up with 3+ years ago. I remember us never agreeing on anything. For a boy, Bodie really wanted John. I was not a huge fan of John, but I was okay with it I guess. Bodie also really liked Tyler. Again not a huge fan, but just because we know several Tyler’s. For a girl’s name, Reagan was the only name we could agree on. Seriously the only one.
I found in Reagan’s baby book the lists of names we had wrote down before we knew if we were having a boy or girl. So if you find yourself with a baby needing a name, please feel free to steal any of these names. Bodie & I will not be needing them.

Girl’s names:
Krista Bailey (Out beside this I wrote “Kris”. Gross.)
Ashton Grace
Reagan Alyssa (My husband has a small crush on Alyssa Milano. Also beside this I wrote RAW. Seriously?!)
Reagan Grace
Reagan Belle (That sounds like some historical landmark or symbol!)
Reagan Lynae

Boy’s names:
Tyler Bodie
Tyler Jackson (I’m pretty sure this would have been the boy’s name.)
Matthew Aiden
Matthew Brady
Matthew Jackson (I think I wanted to call him MJ…hahaaa!)
Ethan Brady
Ethan Tyler
John Kyler
John Tyler

So after looking back at those names I have to ask myself- what was I thinking?! Some of these are just bad. I honestly don’t remember either of us liking Matthew so much but apparently we did. Actually, I bet that was all Bodie. Also I think it’s funny that we now know boys named Jackson (though spelled Jaxson), Brady, Kyler & my sweet nephew, Aiden.

Choosing a name for your child is a huge deal. We put so much thought in to it. I think our baby girl ended up with the perfect name. I cannot see her as anything but Reagan Lynae. Once she gets older she’ll probably want to change her name to something like Princess Consuela Banana Hammock. That will break my heart.

Cheez Balls

2011-04-27T12:24:00.002-05:00

So I had a craving for some Cheez Balls. Went to the grocery store only to find they don’t sell them anymore. What?! How long ago were they discontinued? How did I not know this? Do you know how bad I want Cheez Balls now!

We all survived!

2011-04-26T14:50:00.002-05:00

Today was our big dentist appointment. (Remember this?) I feel horrible that our almost 3 ½ year old even has a cavity. Horrible. It made me sick just thinking about what my poor baby was going to have to go through to get it fixed. I was going to make Bodie take her & I wasn’t going to go because, well, I’m a crier. Then at the last minute I changed my mind & decided I couldn’t stand it. I had to be there. So Bodie & I took our sweet girl in to see Dr. Kelsey early this morning. She did shockingly well.
Once the phenergan gel did its magic, they could get started. At first she did not want to lie down in the chair & she certainly did not want to put the oxygen mask on. But finally she did & she told us it smelled like bubble gum. We were asked to leave the room while they filled her cavity. Almost an hour later she was done. The first thing the dentist asked us when we went back to her room was if Reagan talked a lot at home. She then told us that she wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to do what she needed because Reagan would not be quiet. She just wanted to talk & talk. Apparently she had Scooby Snacks on her mind because she told Dr. Kelsey she wanted some of those with apple juice.

This is her after having the gel applied to her wrists. We watched a Barbie movie for about an hour while we waited for this stuff to kick in.

I’m just happy we all survived with not many tears at all!

Hoppy Easter! (That just never gets old does it?)

2011-04-25T10:59:00.001-05:00

Easter Preparation

2011-04-22T10:01:00.002-05:00

Last night we went over to Nana’s to do Easter eggs.

Happy Easter everyone!

I’m a You Tuber

2011-04-21T15:06:00.001-05:00

I have some silly videos of Reagan & each time I try to email them my phone says the video is too large & I end up having to shorten it before I can send. Today I was told I should try uploading the videos to You Tube so they can be viewed in their entirety. So I created an account & I now have some videos of our sweet Reagan on there. It’s set up as ReaganLynae & you can click here to view or go to this website- http://www.youtube.com/ReaganLynae

Enjoy.

Good for you.

2011-04-20T09:33:00.000-05:00

Today (420) is the day you learn who all your pot smoking friends are thanks to their fb status updates.

I realize how clueless I have been. I was happier being clueless!

About Zilker…

2011-04-18T11:19:00.003-05:00

Bodie & I are not the “Keep Austin Weird” kind of people. In fact we try to stay away from places that may have an abundance of those bumper stickers in the parking lot. But we wanted to show Reagan Zilker Park, so we took her there this past weekend (see cute pics below). I’ll just copy what my husband posted on facebook because I think he really said it best- Hey all of you people working hard to keep Austin weird... come to Zilker to see the fruits of your labor. As we waited for the train we looked at all the interesting people around us. To our left was a girl (I say girl because she looked like a teenager, but yet had 3 little rugrats hanging on her) talking on her phone. We hear her say, “what are you doing Wednesday……want to get high?” Then to our right was an older man, also on the phone, making a drug deal. But being the loving father that he obviously was, he told the person on the other end of the line that he couldn’t meet up right then because he had his kids with him, so it’d be just a little bit. Dad of the year. Weirdos aside, we actually had a great time. Reagan loved it. We will definitely take her to Zilker again. Well, at least I will. Bodie I’m not sure about.

Fun at Zilker Park

2011-04-16T19:47:00.001-05:00

Once bitten…

2011-04-13T09:25:00.002-05:00

Dear kid at Reagan’s school who bit her on the arm yesterday,

NOT COOL.

Senior Prom

2011-04-10T12:36:00.002-05:00

Last night was Kate's senior prom. Tear.

She was absolutely stunning!

I got to thinking about my own senior prom & found this picture.

Too funny!

We are bad parents.

2011-04-01T10:04:00.006-05:00

We are bad parents, reason #1:

Reagan has a cavity. For the filling, her dentist will have to sedate her. SEDATE my baby girl. I am freaking out. A great friend of mine, who is also an orthodontist, has eased my mind just a little by telling me that this is a very common procedure & I shouldn’t worry.

The date has been set…April 26th.

We are bad parents, reason #2:

We let our 3 year old daughter dye her hair blue. No, not all her hair. We aren’t that bad of parents! Just a little strand.

Katelyn & her girls soccer team all dyed the back of their hair blue Tuesday night when they won their area playoff game. Reagan of course saw her cousin’s cool hair & said she had to have blue hair too.

Tonight the Hawks go after their sectional championship win. Good luck to all the soccer girls.

As my Kate would say…tsgh! ;)

Congratulations Officer Warren

2011-03-31T22:16:00.001-05:00

Tonight was RRPD’s award ceremony. Bodie was one of three who was nominated for the Officer of the Year award. Very impressive. What’s not impressive, however, is my stinkin camera!

Insect Parade

2011-03-31T10:28:00.002-05:00

Today was the big Insect Parade at Reagan’s school. During the week I had been asking Ray what insect her class was going to be. Each time I asked, she would tell me (very matter fact) that she was going to be a princess in the parade. Well her class came out dressed as the complete opposite of a princess that’s for sure! Other classes were butterflies, ladybugs, flies, etc. Ray’s class? Litter Bugs! They were seriously the cutest ones of all!

Kyra turns 10!

2011-03-27T18:34:00.003-05:00

I cannot believe Kyra Scarlett is TEN years old today. That’s double digits! It seems like just yesterday she was an itty bitty baby, pooping corn…whole.

Today we celebrate Kyra.

Kyra's first birthday- Now ten!

Quality Family Time

2011-03-27T18:10:00.006-05:00

We spent Saturday having fun with the family. We started our day out at The Oasis. The views there are always amazing & the food wasn’t too bad either. Then from there we went over to Gary’s work to play on the fire trucks. I hate to tell Bodie this, but Ray loves those fire trucks. They are just so much cooler than a dumb police car. Then we had to stop to do a little bit of shopping where Reagan picked out a lovely skirt. She had to immediately put it on (along with all the accessories it came with) in the store before we left & she has not taken that skirt off since! We ended our day at Main Event. I had never been there before but it’s a pretty neat place. Ray played putt-putt for the first time ever. Here, though, it’s “glow golf”…glow in the dark. That kind of hurt my eyes & drove me a little crazy, but Ray didn’t seem to mind.

We had a very fun day with the family.

Brady Bug’s Birthday in Bandera

2011-03-20T11:32:00.002-05:00

We spent the weekend in Bandera celebrating Brady’s 3rd birthday.

Boys being boys…Brady, Jaxson & Austin

Brady blowing out the candles on his super cool Toy Story cake.

This baby was abandoned by his mommy. After Austin caught him, he became this baby sheep’s new mom. Too funny!

Once again we had a great time. We always love going down to Bandera & spending time with the Trussell’s.

Rodeo Carni

2011-03-13T10:05:00.002-05:00

Yesterday Nana, Memaw & I took Ray to the carnival at the rodeo. We met up with the Jones’ there. Reagan had so much fun riding all the rides with Miss. Kylee. I think both of the girls had a blast!
