photo shoot 8/6/2010

Sarahs friend is a photographer and wanted to add to

her portfolio so we had her take some pictures of the girls.

Maddison absolutely loved it and acted like a little model.

Reagan on the other hand was not too excited about it. lol

We got quite a few awesome pictures!

Tattoo

Maddison found some old tattoos that were
Brooklyns and Sarah told her she could have them.
She was so excited to use them.
After I put it on her she held her arm out all day
like she was trying to keep it from falling off.

Cabin Camping!!!

The second week in July we went cabin camping

with my parents up in Christopher Creek.

It was so beautiful and the weather was amazing!

I had refrained from telling Maddison that we were

going and then 3 weeks before my mom accidentally

told her, everyday until we left I was asked

"Are we going camping today!?!?" LOL

The cabin we stayed in.
My parents cabin was right next to ours.

Christopher Creek that was right behind the cabins.

The cabins had a playground with swings, see saw and
a play house. 

It was our first roadtrip in our pretty new car :)

My mom took Maddie in the creek a few times.
Reagan hated it...because there was water.
Unless it's a bath she wants NOTHING
to do with water.

Maddison was so excited to fish.
We bought her a princess fishing pole...
but it broke before she even got to use it.

Fishing with Grammy

One of the days we took a drive up to the fish hatchery.
They allowed you to feed the fish that were about ready to
be released. This is Reagan demanding more
of the food to feed the fish.

Maddison didn't catch anything fishing at the lake so we
found this "catch a trout" spot that you are almost guarunteed
to catch a fish.

I would like to put in in writting that I caught THREE fish and
Matt caught ONE. LOL I also caught the biggest one!
Reagan was a little concerned about the fish, but Maddison
was so excited.

Maddison wanted to hold the fish and after a few
failed attempts Matt held it for her and she pet it.

I dont think Maddison quite understood the concept

of fishing.  I think she thought you fished to catch them

for pets.  She did NOT want to eat them.

Later when I asked why she didn't want to try the fish

she teared up and said "I don't want to eat them because

I love the fish". I felt so bad :(

I better not tell her where chicken/beef/turkey comes from!

We had such a good time up there.

I think we might try and go back next summer.

Every few days Maddison askes me if we're going camping again.

Maybe when they're a little older we will try REAL camping.

New modes of transportation!

There is so much to catch up on!  I haven't blogged in so long.

In June Matt finally got a motorcycle.
 He has wanted one forever!
I don't know anything about motorcycles,
but he tells me it's a 2006 suzuki savage bobber?? lol

Then in July I got a new car too. :)
A Dodge Magnum, and I love it!

We got the van because we thought we needed to room, but we
didn't need THAT much room and the gas mileage is horrible.

I never thought I would be a mini-van mom.

After having one, I decided that I definately don't want to be.

Matts's new girlfriend and my new baby together. LOL

crazy sleeping again...

Again... she went to bed with one baby and when I checked in
on her this is what I found. LOL

1st trip to the splash pad

Yesterday we took our first trip of the summer
to the splash pad.

Matt was working so I went alone and figured the matching
suits would come in handy if I lost one of them. lol

Reagan is obsessed with water bottles
and will flip out until she gets a drink
and then she never wants to give it back.
She just carries them around.
What a weirdo.

sour face

This is the look I get if I ask her to smile
and she doesn't really want to.

flip flops

a normal day at our house:
Reagan eating a banana (her fav)
and wearing moms flip flops

1st zoo splash 2011

About a month or so ago we did the splash pad
at the zoo for the first time.  It was still not really
hot yet so Maddie was hesitant.

She loves her new Ariel swim suit

Reagan refused to go in the water.
She just walked up and down the row of
parents sitting down, stared and smiled at
them until they talked to her.
What a ham!!!

weird sleeper

Maddison went to bed IN her bed
and then I checked on her later and
found this...lol

She went to bed WITHOUT shoes on...
then I checked on her later and found this!

watermelon

We have discovered that Reagan LOVES watermelon.
Anytime I open the fridge she runs up and
points and screams at the watermelon to tell
me that she wants some of it.

LOL.
*this is Maddison's "I'm homeless" hair style*

Dunkin donuts!

I think this is Reagans first donut.
She of course only eats the frosted part. lol

big cheesy chocolate smile

cute hair

Sarah put Reagans hair in cute little pig tails!
She has the toilet paper which is what she does
everytime she can reach it, then she tears it up
like a dog would. haha

Riding the horses

The girls both brought their horses in the living
room for a ride.  Reagan tries so hard to ride the big
pretty horse but she is just too small so she
rides her horse. lol
