Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful little Christmas with just us this year. It is fun to have little kids that understand what Christmas is about and Santa. Reagan makes Christmas exciting! We were able to talk to family on Skype in the morning and then went over to our friends home for dinner. It was a very enjoyable day!









Earlier in the week we made a gingerbread house. Of course with Shaler's framing background it couldn't be just a little house. It had to have a Popsicle stick structure with all the bells and whistles. I think that both Reagan and Shaler had more fun eating the candy then putting it on the house! Thanks to Shaler the house turned our great!

So far in December...

Shay was gone most of December but Reagan and I kept ourselves busy. I had some wonderful friends throw me diaper shower, Reagan saw Santa, and we did lots of Christmas planning. We are happy to have daddy home and love the Christmas season!

Our attempt at a family photo on Sunday with no one but ourselves to take the picture. Not too bad...

Daddy's Home!

And we are back....

We had to block our blog for a couple of weeks while Shay was at survival training for the Air Force but we are back now and I am finally updating! The week before Thanksgiving we had Shaler's pilot graduation. Most of his family was here and it was a wonderful weekend. We were also able to celebrate Shay and Ilene's birthday.

Reagan couldn't let them have all the fun

Making the flight suit look fashionable?!?!





Can you guess who is the actual pilot?


The family after we pinned on Shay's wings. Apparently there were too many camera's going off for us to all be looking in the same direction. Note to self... use only ONE camera!

Assignment Night

Last Friday Shay had his assignment night. It is the night we finally get to find out what aircraft he will be flying. He has worked so hard this past year and we are so proud of him. Because of all his hard work, he was able to get his first choice! He will be flying the C-17 and our first duty station will be at McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA! We are happy to be back with family! We do not have orders yet but we know we probably won't be up there until at least June. Shay still has to do a 4 month C-17 training at Altus AFB here in Oklahoma and then another month of survival training. I will stay here in Enid while Shay goes to Altus. It is about 3 hours south of here. It will be tough to have him gone with a newborn but will will see him on the weekends. So if anyone wants to come visit me I would love the company! We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and know it will be challenging as a family but we know this is the right thing for us. Here are some pictures from assignment night...

October

We have officially entered the third trimester and the holiday season! I am now 27 weeks and growing! Reagan went to her first Halloween party yesterday. Shaler wanted her to be a cowgirl and so she is. However, he has learned that next year he should ask what she wants to be. The two of them have had a grand debate because she wants to be and Ariel princess. No shock there! Oh, how we love age 3! Here are some pictures of my growing belly and her Halloween party

6 months or 24 weeks....

Here are some pictures of my growing belly for those of you requesting pictures. I just hit 24 weeks this past week. Everything is going great and Reagan is already wanting the baby to be here. She can't wait to be a big sister! We have 5 more weeks until Shaler's assignment night which is where we find out what aircraft he will be flying. We are excited to know where are lives are headed.

Happy Birthday Reagan AND......

It has been way too long since I updated everyone our family. It has been a crazy summer with trips, pilot training and friends moving. The best part about this summer is we can finally say we are expecting another little girl in January! It has been a long year with miscarriages and progesterone treatments but we are happy to say that we have a healthy baby girl! Reagan is so excited to have a baby sister. All she talks about is helping change the babies diaper and rocking her while singing to her. She will be a great big sister!
This past week was Reagan's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe that it has been three years since she was just a newborn. We had a fun party with friends. She enjoyed every minute, especially the presents and cake.
