Our Oregon Trip

I know that I said I wasn't going on anymore trips by myself, but we went one more time. How can you say no to a tickets for $19 one way?? It was really a great deal, and it was so fun! We left on Tuesday and came back on Sunday. We started out in Eugene, and we didn't have a lot of time so I am sorry to my friends that I didn't get to see. We stayed at John and Stephanie's (Thanks guys!!) Reagan had a great time with Jackson, who she calls Jacksee. It was really cute. Then I got to see my really good friend Jen and her beautiful baby Cal. Then we hung out with some more cousins, and had a great time. The next day we got to go swimming at Splash! Reagan had a great time. Thanks to Uncle Jeff who took her down the slide, it was so cute. She loved the wave pool, but really liked the kiddie pool. I wish that I could have taken some pictures, but of course this was the only I got.

We also got to go see Reagan's great-grandma and grandpa while we were there.
Then we headed down to Glide. We had a great time. We did so much. Reagan got her first pedicure, by Heather, she made cookies with her grandma and Heather. We went on a walk, played on the swings,Heather taught her how to throw a softball and a football. Also Sue was awesome and treated me to a facial, which was the BEST. Thanks again for that!!!!

We then headed back up to Eugene, went and saw Horton hears a Hoo. Reagan did pretty good at the movie theater too. Then we headed up to Portland and saw some awesome friends. It was so good to see them and their newborn, Simon. Again, I can't believe that I didn't' take any pictures with them. It was soo good to them. Then we headed back down to Eugene, and came home on Sunday. It was a great vacation! Reagan did pretty good all around. We were so glad to be able to go and visit family and friends. Also we just wanted to say thanks again to everybody that helped us out and drove us around! We had a great time.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter Weekend! I am just putting forth a warning, there are lots and lots of pictures and videos with this entry (mostly for the grandparents)! We started off with our Church Easter Egg Hunt. Reagan had a good time. She at first wasn't sure what to do, but then she got the hang of it and had a great time. It was beautiful weather too. I think it is funny that they hid a bunch of the eggs is the rocks, guess that is Vegas for you.

Reagan and her friend Sawyer.

Then Reagan crashed on the way home from the hunt. She was so tired. So while she was napping, I went and used my gift certificate to get a manicure and pedicure that Nick got me for Valentines Day. It was soooo nice!
Then on Easter Sunday, we went to church, and when Reagan woke up from her nap she opened her Easter Basket. Then we went over to our good friends for dinner, and ate until we about died! It was a great weekend!

Family Home Evening and Dancing with the Stars

Nick and I decided we should try and start having FHE on a more regular basis. So we started tonight by singing a nice version of "I Am Like A Star Shining Brightly", which is one of Reagan's favorite songs. Then we made some yummy Raspberry Yogurt/Sorbet. Oh yeah and our lesson, the most important part of the night, it was on dinner manners. The video speaks for itself...

Here are a couple of the action shots we got too :)


We can only hope and pray that she will teach her manners to her little sister.

We also have two future stars on our hands. Reagan loves to dance, and Easton came over to hang out with Reagan to watch Dancing with Stars. Here is a video of them dancing together. I love how they are both watching the TV to try and mimic it!

Some pictures

I was going to make some Easter cards to send to family and friends of Reagan, so I took her outside in her dress, and this is what we came up with. We are going to try and take some more because as you can see our grass isn't' green so we want to go somewhere it is greener. And she had just poured some peaches in her hair,but I thought I would share these anyway.

This one makes me laugh. What is she up to?

Hoover Dam

We are taking full advantage of the beautiful weather her in Las Vegas, and decided to go to Hoover Dam. I had been there before, back in high school, but Nick had never been. So we got up this morning and drove down there. I love how close it was too. I was a little nervous about how Reagan would do, but she did awesome. We decided to take the tour, they show a short movie in the beginning, and Reagan kept saying "Show Show" "Wa Wa" every time she saw the water! It was pretty cute. So here are some pictures from the day.

I kept telling her to take her thumb out of her mouth. We are working on it. She is lucky Dad is holding her. She is no longer allowed to suck her thumb if I am holding her!

Reagan just looking out the edge.

So I wasn't going to put these up because I looked at them and thought, man I look huge, (I am not saying that so people that say oh you look so good) but Nick said no you are pregnant. So with regret here is our family picture at the Dam.

And here is Reagan sitting on her sister. I am a little paranoid, so I was clutching onto her for dear life. We only stayed out there for a little bit, because it made me so nervous.

Here is Nick rubbing the toes for good luck!

All in all it was a great day. I love that it was so close and Reagan did so good. She was out like a light about 2 min. after we pulled out of the Dam. Oh yeah is anybody else amazed by the bridge they are building. It is crazy. I am glad they are, we just thought those poor people who are trying to get to Phoenix or other parts of AZ who have to go over the Dam with all the people! It looks like a crazy bridge!

Some Randomness

So we finally got a new camera. Nick found an awesome deal on one. We were going to try and trade our camera into Costco but when we figured it all up we would have owed them $2! So here are just a couple of pictures that I took of Reagan at the park, trying out the new camera. It was really sunny out so they aren't the best, but I promised my mom some more pics!

Last night Reagan and I decided that we would make a tent out of the chairs, but then Dad had an even better idea of getting out the tent. Reagan LOVED it. She couldn't stop laughing and giggling all night. She liked having the screen all the way up that is why the pictures aren't very clear, but it will give you an idea.

Sorry about the poor quality with the screen closed. Next time we will get it with the door down, so you can see it better.
