Aunt Ree comes to visit

Before my parents left Hilary flew into town to spend some time with Reagan and I.  She was here for a week.  It was nice and entertaining to have Aunt Ree with us.  We had a good time and cant wait to hang

out with Aunt Ree again.  We went shopping and out to lunch.  Hilary spoiled not only Reagan  

but me also while she was here.  We just need to work on the whole diaper changing thing.

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married.

Gee, I really love you and we're, gonna get married.

Goin' to the chapel of love.

Spring is here,

theeee sky is blue.

Whooooa! the birds all sing as if they knew.

Today's the day, we'll say, "I do"

and we'll never be lonely anymore.

Oh how exciting it is.....  

The other day my sister got engaged. 

Her boyfriend took her on a sunset cruise 

and to add to it there were dolphins

jumping all around the boat.  

So sweet!  

She did say yes and we are all excited

for them both.  

Now we are waiting to hear the details 

but it is going to 

be a destination wedding. 

And she said YES!!!

Welcome to the family, Trenton!

3 Months Old

 Today Reagan is 3 months old!
 

Wow I'm not sure where the time has gone.  Everyday Reagan is growing and getting bigger.  

It's great seeing her take in her surroundings and experience everything for the first time.  

On January 12th, Reagan weighed 11 lbs 13ozs.

 

Look how big I'm getting!

(every time I was getting ready to take the picture she would stop smiling)

 

Got ya!

Don't you just love those chubby cheeks?!

I have found my thumb!  Sometimes I substitute it for my paci.

Grammy and Popski come visit

My parents came to town from the 7th - 15th.  The visit was planned for them to come before Reagan's early arrival so we just stuck with the plan of them coming this month.  It was great to have them here to help out with Reagan.  I got to sleep in a couple of days! and work on some stuff for a shower while they were here.  We didn't do much but hang out during their trip.  Reagan loves her Grammy and Popski and is ready for them to come back or to go up there and visit soon.

 Getting ready to cheer Auburn onto a victory!!

HA HA the hat Reagan has on is WAY to small.  It was the hat she wore while she was in the 

hospital.  She sure is growing fast.

 Popski explaining football to Reagan

Popski was reading to Reagan and she just fell asleep.

Reagan's reaction when she heard that Grammy and Popski were 

going to be leaving the next day.

We enjoyed our visit with Grammy and Popski and look forward to the

next time they come back.

Not only did my parents come to visit but they also brought this.  Next time you
can leave that in Pittsburgh! 

AUBURN Football

Paul and my brother went to Arizona for the BCS Championship game.  Auburn was playing Oregon.  If you didn't watch the game Auburn won.  It was a great game between Auburn and Oregon.  During the SEC game my brother was calling Paul asking if wanted to go to the game.  Before you knew it Paul and Nathan were going to the game.  They had a great time and glad that Auburn won.  Cant wait for next time they go to the BCS game!

Comedy Club

A fun night out... Where else buuuut THE COMEDY CLUB!

A week before my birthday a got a call from the Stardome Comedy Club saying that I won free tickets to the Comedy Club for my birthday.  AWESOME!! Sure!  I picked to go on Thursday night the 13th and it was a pretty good time.  There were plenty of laughs.  The comedian was pretty funny.  It was was nice to spend the night with some great friends.

Ice and Snow

A winter wonderland in Alabama 

It started the evening of the 9th and continued on to 10th.  Schools were closed the whole week.  

Just love these kiddos

For Serena, Michaela, Vincent, and Lianna.

This post has been long due for my 4 favorite kids.  When I first started watching these kids there were only two... shortly we added number three... and then the fourth final entered the world.  I was lucky enough to spend 

a lot of time with these kids growing up and seeing them change.  As I was looking back on these pictures 

I was reminded of all the fun that we had together.....

going to McDonald's after Serena was done with kindergarden and play in the play yard, before we would leave someone would ask me if all 3 of these kids were mine... (No I was only 18)... 

when they were building their house and Vincent got away from me and ran into the middle of the (mud) yard and one of the construction guys had to go fish him out for me....

going sled riding on the driving range and after we got back home Michaela fall asleep at the table while eating....

while on vacation arguing with a 5 year old that there was NOT a noodle up her nose.... ha ha ha (actually there was)

trips to the zoo, going to the Childrens Museum (how many babysitters would let you play in the water), Wave Pool, and so many other great times.

I miss these kids a ton and have learned so much from them  as they have grown up

like its OK to run in the mud, being a teenager now is the same as it was before, your never to old to go on the slip and slide, and Happy Meals really do make you HAPPY.  

Seeing them with Reagan made me wish that we did live in Pittsburgh so that these awesome kids could watch her.  But don't worry Serena.... you will still get a chance to watch Reagan.

We will be looking forward to coming up and visiting again soon with you guys.

I guess they were right

at our 20 week appointment when if you choose to you can find out the gender of your baby....  well as you may know paul and i did not want to know.  since paul was not able to be there i told the tech to find out but dont tell me.  she did and sealed it in an envelope and for weeks i carried it around and even had it sitting on the coffee table ..... right in front of me EVERYDAY as i watched tv.... and i never opened it.  after reagan was born we opened it and they were right..... it was a girl!

i was updating reagans baby book and trying to plan out how i want to scrapbook this time so far and i came across this.  i told paul even if we did open the envelope that i wouldn't believe it  because it took the tech so long to figure it out.  but no matter what im very happy that we waited and that we do have sweet reagan.  would not trade her for the world.  i thought that with as much as paul wanted a girl that we were going to have a boy.

i bet when you saw this picture you thought i was going to say that i was pregnant again... ha ha ha sorry i'm not.

New Years Eve

For New Years Eve we went out to dinner, at the Georgetown, with my parents, Aimee, and Trenton.  It was Reagan's first fancy restaurant experience.  The meal was very good and the red velvet cake was awesome.  After dinner we walked over to the Incline/Overlook to take pictures.  The weather was not too bad for Dec 31st in Pittsburgh.  Poor Paul was sick and was such a trooper through dinner. We stayed up long enough to see the ball drop and then we were straight off to bed. (Defiantly a much different New Years compared to last year and the year before in Manchester, U.K.  But great non the less.)

Everyone at dinner and Ronzo with his two favorite babies

Aunt Aimee just loves Reagan...  and Regan just loves Aunt Mimi

New Years Day, Aimee and Trenton went to the Winter Classic.  The Penguins played the Capitals on a rink that they built on Heinz Field.
