Birthday Girl!!! {October 21, 2010}

I have had quite enough of this. I am officially the most behind blogger, and I can't make the time to do it. Every time I'm at the computer, there is something else higher on the list. I only made myself start this post because my other computer is running a batch on the wedding I just completed. There were the fall weddings, and all their editing and album designing, then Christmas cards and orders, get the new site up and running someday, and think about advertising... That's the most important one! I love staying busy, and I would like it to stay that way! A facebook page for Viva is on the list to do now- for business promotion. Referrals have been wonderful, and I would like to take it a step further with advertising once I decide what route to take.

So, I was thinking how pitiful it would be to post pumpkin pictures after Christmas. Wow.

So here goes Reagan's birthday- trying to catch up.  I just can't skip them!  : )

THE BIG 2!!!

This was taken right after my new 2 year old woke up on her birthday. 

She slept with her number 2 from the bathtub the night before.

All the ladies had a birthday cake for the Muffin first thing in the morning : ) 
We sang and she had Christy blow out her candles.  (Her arm is around Christy's neck, 'directing')











She loves going out to pick berries off the tree in the play-yard. 
All the dogs run around like crazy and she loves it.

Next up was Reagan's favorite place.  The Elmo store (aka BuyBuyBaby) 

We decided to spend the day going to all her favorite places, so this was a must.

Then lunch at her favorite (mine too) Firehouse subs.

THEN... THE PUMPKIN PATCH! 

We took her last year for her birthday and thought we would keep up the tradition.  SO much fun this year.  We left with 4 pumpkins- a Mommy, Daddy, Baby and a big family one.  I let the big one sit outside too long to use it for cooking, but next year I will plan on it for my pumpkin cake.   Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Oh wow.  She's so cute I can't stand it- love her little round pot in this picture.  : )

I just melt when I see this picture.  We were trying to get her picture here and Junior was getting her situated.  The look on her face... ahhhh... she loves her Daddy, listening so intently.

This is how she says "2" now with her little fingers. 

When we ask her how old she is or how many graham crackers she wants... always "two!"

"Liddah wuh, BIH wuh!"

After her nap we headed for the Dairy farm down the road, and met up with Uncle Alden and Aunt Ashton.  This was the first year the farm was open to the public with the corn maze, petting zoo and lots of fun kids stuff.  Reagan loved it.

THIS was fun.  She sat in here for maybe a half hour, and loved being buried.  Boy was she dirty though.

Whew.  All in a day.  I think she had a pretty good birthday. 

We had her birthday party at the park that weekend with family and a few friends.  Her favorite place to play with her favorite food on the menu... PIZZA! 

Here's her invites : )

Lego my Mego {September 8, 2010}

Ah yes, more zoo trips. 

I can't help but post every time we go, because she just has too much fun!  It was the two of us with Megan this time, and she REALLY loves her Megan.  They are so cute together, and she loves my baby as much as any adopted Aunt could.  We love this girl!

She is such a busy body when we are there.  Loves the carousel, playground, Shah-Shah (Mufasa, the bronze one), hearing the monkeys, penguins, okay- nevermind.  I guess every time there is a different favorite, which we talk about until the next visit.  : )






This was so funny.  My perfect-cleaner-baby, was watching the koala bear eating and witnessed him DROP a leaf.  How dare he!  She was about to leap out of my arms, pointing frantically- "UH OH! UH OH! UH OH!"  She usually won't let it slide if you don't clean up your mess, so I just had to change the subject pretty quick.  Since she was maybe a year old, she's been good about throwing things away at home.  Besides the occasional hair bow that was annoying her.  Lately I've been trying to keep her from trashing all the broken crayons.






I must say, I am much impressed with this shot.  With the carousel spinning, Megan catching the focus, and both of us finding her at the same time AND smiling... I would think near impossible.  Way to go Mego!

Til next time!
