We are so blessed with our kids!

Concert at the Arboretum

I love summer recruiting events!  The 90s cover band was pretty terrible but the evening and the sunset was absolutely amazing!

Bath Time

Naked babies are the best! Both Colin and Reagan love their baths and are too adorable not to photograph :)

Little Sous Chef

I've been making Reagan's baby food and Colin has been such a great little helper! He stands on his stool, plays with the tongs, and sings to himself (ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Let's Go Fly a Kite, & Old MacDonald are his favorite)

Macaroni Battle 2013

For lunch one day, Colin requested mac n' cheese...so we made a box to share.  He was adorably helping and was so excited for it to be ready. I took pictures because it was one of those cute stay at home mommy moments that you want to remember. 

"When you were little, you used to love to help me cook! This is a picture of us making your favorite - macaroni & cheese!"  

And then things got ugly.

He wouldn't touch the mac once it was put in front of him.

Had this been easy mac from the microwave I probably wouldn't have made a big deal of it, but I had actually stood at the stove and boiled those darn noodles and I was determined for him to eat it!

So we duked it out.

It took an hour of crying and fussing and convincing and cajoling, but I won!

And do you know what? He ate three large bowls! Victory!

 Mesquite Marlins

I am swimming with a 13 and older club swim team this summer (I am technically on the masters team but swim with the competitive kids in the morning).  I wanted to see if I could still do it and even though it is awfully early (5:30am!!) it is so much fun being in that element again. I am tired, sore, and stinky from the chlorine but it is so great to swim again! It's only been 10 years!  

Before the first practice

After that first practice

Convincing myself I am not crazy!

Seeing a pool before the sun comes up is such a familiar sight! It takes me back to so many early morning practices during high school...ah memories!

Colin enjoys pulling up his stool so he can steal Reagan's puffs!

Watching a baseball game with daddy - she's such a daddy's girl!

She still can't crawl forward but scoots backwards and keeps pushing herself in to corners!
