19 Months and growing...

Last Friday, Reagan turned 19 months!  We had her well child visit today and all looks good!

She is measuring 46% for weight at 24 lbs and 14 oz.  She is measuring 92% for height at 33 inches. She was quite vocal in her distaste for the doctor and his stethoscope, as well as for the nurse and her shot but she recovered well.  She kept saying 'all done' so they knew she had had enough of the visit. :)

Favorite foods:  She loves blueberry waffles, mixed berries, peas and carrots, pears, pizza and Popsicles!

Words:  Mommy, Daddy, Dora, Sponge Bob, Reagan, Buddy (for her cousin Jackson), all done, let's go, what you doin, Wub you (Love you),  bye bye, night night, truck!, car, kitty, puppy, and loves to repeat whatever she hears us say.  Her favorite saying right now is "It's MY turn!"  Which is lovely when she wants the remote or my cell phone.

We are working on colors- she does pretty good with yellow, orange, green and sometimes red/blue.  She is loving her puzzles and does really well with them.  Still loves reading books- Little People Farm, Dora, Brown Bear, and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom are her favorites.

She had her first sprinkler experience at her cousin's this weekend and I think it's time we break one out in the backyard.  Here are some recent pics, enjoy!

Cousin time!

Sprinkler!

In Memory

God bless those who fought for us and lost their lives for us~

Fire up the grill!

It's that time of year folks... Andy's annual birthday celebration at Rube's!  Where, yes- year after year, we throw down a wad of cash to cook our own dinner.  Go figure. 

But one sweet little taste of the steaks Rube's has to offer will have you wanting to go back year after year.  And we do!  Since Andy and I have been together (2002), we've only missed Rube's once. If not for the steaks, at least go for the humongous brownie sundae piled high with whipped cream and a cherry!

We had such a great time this year, thanks to our posse for joining us! 
Happy birthday honey! Love you!

Birthday boy!

"Mo catchpup peeees!"

A lil toddler who shall remain nameless discovered 'catchpup' (ketchup) last night... and it completely rocked her world.  Toddler life will never be the same... she even asked for seconds.  "Mo catchpup peees!"

"Hmmm....let's see...what's this red stuff?"

Open wide!

"Yummy!"

Prayer request

For some time now, I have been following the blog, http://karingforkeegan.blogspot.com/

This is a family that has been through so much, and continues to be challenged with news of Keegan's health.  He is scheduled for surgery on Monday- please join me in prayer that he will conquer this battle.  Thank you!

Lord, you love Keegan as You love all children,
Bring healing to Keegan who is not well.
Stay by his side and comfort him through this trying time.
Keep us ever mindful of Your loving presence
Bless us with Your powerful healing and comfort us also.
Thank You for hearing our prayer!
Amen.

On My Radar

What I'm loving right now:


My mother's day gift from peanut!  A hand painted flower pot with flower. *swoon*  Her daycare provider did help a smidge but said that Reagan gave a good effort with the paint brush.  I think she'll have Andy's artistic abilities as I have NONE.

Three words:  Mister Car Wash

Lemme get this straight.  I sit in a pleasant, freshly smelling, air conditioned room eating (FREE) popcorn and drinking (FREE) coffee while a bunch of guys and gals spiffy up, not only the inside, but the outside of my car in under 20 minutes for around $8??? 

Let the record show.  If, at retirement age, I am left broke and desolate, I blame Mister Car Wash.

If you have yet to experience a Jason's Deli, grab your car keys and head to one immediately. They are amazing... free mini muffins that'll rock your socks off.  Free ice cream... free garlic bread...a bunch of free stuff that comes with your meal. Did I mention a lot of added free bonus items when you buy an entree??

"Oh Jason's Deli... you had me at my 10th mini muffin."  I'll be back.  And next time I'll be smart enough to bring Ziploc baggies with me. What?? They're for the mini muffins.

GNO! 

Girl's night out!

Love spending time with my girls... this week we hit up a new Italian place for dinner. Yes, you can still smell garlic on my breath.  And then caught the new chick flick- Something Borrowed.  Lovely!

Some things on my radar lately...just sayin....

4 Years...

Four years... since I married my best friend. In front of all our family and friends... and have been blessed to spend my life with the best husband a girl could ever wish for.  We decided to spend our anniversary in KC this year as Andy had a work trip.  This has been the routine for the past few years and it's the perfect getaway city for us. We had a great time!


(Yes, I am including a picture of a salad in my blog post so next year I can remember what I must order again.)  Room Service is a glorious thing my friends- it even makes SALAD taste good!  This was the best cobb salad and bread puddin I've ever had.  Include a chick flick on HBO, a chilled soda, and an air conditioned hotel room with a fabulous view of KC- and you have one happy girl!

Anniversary dinner out on the town!

On a recommendation for a great pizza, we hit up Rosati's- and weren't disappointed!  Notice it is JUST as large as a piece of furniture.  The 'family double' was ordered and devoured!

At the game- gorgeous weather!

Happy anniversary honey! xoxo

Move over Pillsbury...

There's a new man in town!

Or shall I say... new Elves...and they know.how.to.rock.it!

*swoon*

In true cookie connoisseur fashion, technically they are not as 'carmelly' (yes, I did just make up the word carmelly) as the Girl Scout Samoa's but they'll do.  Oh yes, they'll do.
