Never too late....

Our lives have been so crazy the last couple of months that I did not realize how long it had been since I updated the blog until I looked a couple of weeks ago. So sorry for all those crazy fans of ours out there! :) We have been so busy with getting our family ready for the big move to Oklahoma. Right now we still do not know when that is exactly, but we will keep everyone informed. We went to Seattle back in March again for a one last trip. :( We were able to stay a whole week and loved every minute. We also drove down to Oregon to see Shay's brother and sister-in-law and their two kids.
Reagan could not get enough of the cats in Seattle. She was so happy that Grandma was able to get the cat out from under the bed!

We also enjoyed a wonderful Easter. The weather was a little gloomy in the morning but Reagan still thought the idea of candy filled eggs was wonderful.

We also made cupcakes the night before. Reagan loves to help me cook and make a mess!

The New Year

2008 has come and gone and we are very excited for 2009! Mostly because Shay is graduated and i get to stop working full time and be a mom. Unfortunately we do not get to start our new adventure until June but in the meantime we get to have a lot of time together as a family. Reagan has developed some new habits this year that Shay is extremely fond of.... first, shopping! Especially for bracelets and necklaces


and the pink tutu must be worn around the apartment these days! Oh how Shay loves it! (sigh!) He now feels for his brother Jared whose daughter, Ella, is always a princess!

Christmas 2008

We enjoyed a fun filled Christmas with Shaler's family up at a cabin in Heber City this year. There was a lot of snow that fell Christmas Day that Reagan and Shaler extreamly enjoyed. The fmaily on Christmas Day

Shaler's Commissoning

On Dec 22nd Shaler officially became a 2nd lieutenant for the United States Air Force. His uncle Chad was able to give him the oath of office which was really fun. His uncle Chad also gave him his butter bars (the rank he used) that he received 37 years ago when he commissioned as a new lieutenant. It was an exciting day for family. Unfortunately we have to wait until the end of May to start anything. Here are some pictures from that day

SNOW!!!!

Shay took Reagan out this morning for her first experience with snow this year. Shay has been waiting all year for it to snow so he could take Reagan out to play. He has been the one to get all her snow gear this year. It is so funny! So when he woke up this morning and saw the snow he couldn't wait to get Reagan all dressed up. So here she is at 8am! She wasn't too sure of it at first but now she just looks out the window wondering when she can go out again.




When we got back inside she did not want to take her pants and boots off!

Christmas Tree!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went and got out Christmas tree. I did not think Reagan would be as excited as she was! She could not get enough of the tree! She wanted to help with all the ornaments and decorations. She has been surprisingly good when it comes to not touching the tree! Here are a few pictures of that night and one the day after

Happy Holidays!

We can not believe the end of the year is almost here! This is our favorite time of the season because we get to be with family. We joined my family for Thanksgiving this year. Aunt Ilene joined us but was already to full and lying on the coach for the family photo but I did snag one of her earlier! It was nice to relax and just have fun.
