playground fun

One of Matt's days off we headed over to

the awesome park by Sarahs house.

He hadn't been there yet and the girls love it.

Reagan loves sliding.

She has a concerned look on her face

as she slides down and then once she

stops she giggles and points to do it again.

Matt raced Maddie down the double slide. He won...lol

So proud of herself at the top.

He taught her how to climb this thing.

cute little swinging baby.

Maddison learned this trick from her

friend Alexis. She uses her foot to slow her down.

Scared of the swinging bridge.

Again, hates to walk on anything she

can see through.

Birthday dinner

Last Sunday after the zoo we dropped

Maddison off at my parents house so she

could help my mom bake for by birthday dinner.

They made me cupcakes :)

Reagan practicing for her birthday.

Aquarium!

On my birthday we took a trip to the new aquarium

at Az Mills Mall.

There was no flash photography so I didn't

get many great pictures.

This tank was the largest and Matts favorite

because it had the biggest sharks in it.

There was a deck with a clear floor above

the sting ray tank.

Maddie did NOT want to stand on it.

She hates standing on anything that she can

see through.

Touching the star fish and snails.

The cool tunnel!

Again a clear floor and Maddie was not a fan. haha

She would go up to every tank and stare

in like she knew what she was looking for.

At the very end was the tank with Dory and Nemo.

Maddison was SO EXCITED.

Finding Nemo is by far her favorite movie.

more zoo...

The morning after zoolights we got up

and headed back to the zoo.

We didn't have anything to do that day so

we went just to get out of the house.

Reagan saying holy moly there's a giraffe.

We decided we would finally try a camel ride.
I have wanted to have Maddie do it for awhile but
I was sure that she wouldn't want to do it by herself.
Well...I was wrong.
She LOVED it.
She rode all by herself, was waving
and even bent over and tried to pet him.
I couldn't believe it went so well!
Beauty queen wave while riding the camel. lol!

Zoolights!

I have so many pictures to blog.

In the last 3.5 weeks Matt has gone to

work about 6 days. He took some sick time

and then took some vacation time.

We did a lot of things while he was off.

On the 8th we went to zoolights because

we wanted to get there before it was over.

We went the night before the last

night it was open even though it was

a Saturday because we thought the

last night would be the busiest.

Well it was still VERY busy!

We hadn't ever been before and

the girls really liked it.

I put them in flannel PJ's because I figured

it would be the warmest...but they looked

like bums. lol

I still haven't figured out the camera settings.

This was a cute picture of them even

though the lights made it all crazy.

We got Maddison a light stick thing on the

way in and Reagan ended up LOVING it

and we had to get her one too on the

way out.

Christmas eve

On Christmas eve we went over to my

parents house. I had planned on getting

a lot of pictures but I got so into watching

the kids open their presents I forgot to take

pictures...haha. But I figured it's better that

I enjoyed it with them than get a bunch of pictures.

My pretty Maddison :)

The one opening presents picture I got.

Reagan enjoyed herself.

It's funny because Reagan liked all of

Maddisons presents more than her own

and vice versa. Silly kids!

I thought this was such a cute picture

of Matt throwing Reagan.

Reagan LOVES being thrown.

toofy smile

I love her toothy grin!

Reagan baby

I tried to take a picture with Reagan but

she was more interested in the movie playing.

I kind of got a picture of her giving me a kiss.
The good 'ole open mouth baby kiss.

She looks like Chris Farley with her double chin.

And her kissy face again.

I'm UP!

This is Reagan telling me that she is up

from her nap. She either bangs her head

or her toys on the wall that is shared with

the living room. Scared the crap out of me the

first time she did it!

Her ridiculous kiss face again.

It's so funny!

Thanksgiving drive 2010

So I went through the sd card in my point and

shoot camera and realized I had pictures that

I forgot to blog.

The girls got to drive the car around a lot on

Thanksgiving out at my aunt and

uncles house.

Reagan is too short to sit on the seat of

the car so she likes to stand and hold

on to the windsheild.

For awhile they were both yelling,

then laughing and then yelling again.

It was really funny.

Reagan got a turn at the wheel.

She wasn't too interested though,

she likes riding and playing with

the radio a lot more.

Of course they had to get the radio on

before they could drive.

Reagan looks like she is navigating. haha

fun girl time

Maddison had so much fun playing with her cousins.

pictures with cousins

Before Christmas Leighann and I took the girls out to get

pictures for Matt's parents.

I know it's hard to get a good picture of 2 kids...

it's even harder to get a good one of 4 kids!!

We got a few good ones. They are all so cute!

kissey face

I don't know where this face came from,

but this is the weirdest kissey face ever and

Reagan has started doing it all the time.

It is so funny, she just stands there with

this ridiculous look on her face.

NEW CAMERA!

Matt got me a new dslr camera for Christmas!

Of course I couldn't wait until Christmas.

This is the first picture taken on the camera.

Matt took it :)

that doesn't make any sense?

This conversation just took place between Matt and Maddie...

M handed Matt her princess phone that no longer calls Cinderella and said "wont you please fix my phone daddy." Matt said "I needs new batteries" M: "there's tons of batteries in the spoon drawer" Matt: "none of those fit your phone baby" M: "that doesn't make any sense"

Matt was laughing so hard he could barely repeat the conversation to me.
What a funny little girl.
