Wordless Wednesday~ Lil Performer

Reagan's Road Trip

My mom came down for the weekend so Andy and I could attend a bachelor/bachelorette party on Saturday night. She took Rea back up north with her when she left- and I know she's having lots of fun with her cousins but I miss my peanut!  I'm trying to prep myself and say, this is how it's going to feel when she's 18 and leaves for college.

But if it really feels this way, I either 1) won't let her go, or 2) will be the oldest person to live in a college dorm.  No joke.

Waiting for Gramma:


She thought it was a good idea to feed her hot dog slicer...

Gramma's here!

Can't wait to see my baby girl!

Wordless Wednesday~ Glimpse of Summer

Anniversary Trip

Every May, Andy and I head to Kansas City to celebrate our anniversary. 

It's just far enough to feel like a vacation, yet not too far for a quick 3-day trip.  Andy does a little work during the day, meeting clients, while I enjoy the shopping, manicure/pedicure primping and pool lounge time.  And we always close out the trip visiting a Royals game.  I go for the cotton candy, Andy goes for the baseball. It's a win-win situation.

A big thanks to G&G Wallace for taking care of Reagan while we were gone. A busy toddler on the go is a big task!  And Rea had so much fun, she barely knew we were gone. There may have been a few tears the first night but nothing a cookie break couldn't fix, right Papa?  :)


Note to self: Always order Rosati's Pizza when in KC. It never disappoints!

 

 

Another food shot- Fred P. Otts. I will never eat a regular burger again without a fried egg on top. Love!

 

 

 

The pool was glorious aka heated and we had it all to ourselves...

 

 

At the game, tailgating.

Amazing seats! 4 rows back from home plate-
Ross- this picture is for you. Note the ex-Cardinal.

The fireworks were amazing! Perfect end to a great anniversary trip!

Past, Present, Future

We remember those who can't be with us today and we give thanks for those who risked their lives for the freedoms we enjoy.

Certificate of Completion~ Part 2

Rea had her last wee ball game of the season last week.

BIG thanks to Aunt Nette for taking her while Andy and I were out of town. And more thanks to her for providing treats to all the kiddos! Rea had so much fun and is still talking about her night with Aunt Nette.

She received a medal and is very proud of it. She really enjoyed wee ball this year and did well with it. We will definitely sign up again next year.

A little after game fun...

Enhancements

Last weekend my parents came down for a visit and while they were here, they helped us add some enhancements to Reagan's play set.

Hanging bars:

Hammock:

I was also on the hunt for a motorized car that Rea could tool around the block with since all of the other neighbor kids have one. There is nothing like seeing a toddler motorcade going down the sidewalk to make your heart melt...The problem was, I didn't want the price tag of a brand new car.

This is where a random act of kindness comes in... just the week before, there was a Grandma on FB looking for a turtle sandbox, which we just happened to have one looking for a good home. We gave it away happily, knowing it would be put to good use.  Then I put out a search on FB looking for a car and someone responded they had a pink Jeep they were willing to give away- win-win! Love good Karma.

So $35 later for a new battery and we have one happy toddler!

Now if only the rain would go away and the sun would come out, we could enjoy our enhancements!
