Fun with Fam

Told you I was way behind on pictures, so here are some from our family times over the last couple of weeks. We went home and met Adam and crew at Mom and Dad's a few weeks ago. Reagan has not quit talking about Uncle Ahmoo (Adam), Mimi (Missy), Ahwee (Adley) and "I running, I running" (Corbin, and a long story...) since. Here are the kiddos looking at something on David's computer. I am sure it was riveting, but I don't remember what it was. But they look cute anyway, especially Corbin in his striped undies!!

Playing the slots at my parents' house. It lights up, makes all kinds of racket, and involves putting coins in the slots and pushing buttons. Reagan is in heaven with the slot machine.
Makes it that much better when she gets to play with Corbin and Uncle Ahmoo!
Love this picture of her having a conversation over breakfast with Grandmommy. She already calls her "The other Grandmommy," which I think is so fun! Adley did that early on, too, and I guess it stuck!
If you didn't know this about my brother, he is made of elastic. Seriously, his skin is so stretchy that he can pinch skin off the top of his scalp! Anyways, she saw him wrinkle his super-wrinkley forehead and accurately thought it was weird... and needed to touch it! Made me laugh...
I've said it before, that she and my brother have a "thing." They oh-so-love each other. They disappeared together one afternoon...

... and I found them upstairs like this. So sweet. She isn't asleep, they are just cuddling. This is a rarity for Reagan these days with most people, even me, but not him. I love it.
Church on Sunday with the cutie girls in their cutie matching dresses. I am guessing someday, Adley won't think it is fun to match her baby cousin. But she loves it now, which I love!
We were blessed to be invited to lunch with the whole friend/family gang that day!! The kids played and played outside. Fun sliding with Grandmommy and Granddaddy.
Corbin wanted to know why Danny and Brenda have a red barn in their backyard! Funny! Anyways, here are the sweet cousins again.
Granddaddy always has ice cream for Reagan, so much so that she now expects it every time she sees him!

That night we went to Grammy and Poppy's house and got to see Aunt Bev and Uncle John from Kentucky! A special treat... R hadn't seen them since she was 4 months old, and I don't think she remembered them.
Aunt Bev is super cool because she taught Reagan how to use her black berry. (had to write that as two separate words... it was creating a link otherwise...) The next weekend, Granddaddy and Grandmommy came here for my cousin's wedding, and unfortunately Grandmommy taught R to play piano with her feet. We still do this now. Thanks.
A gorgeous outdoor place for the wedding worked out great for Reagan and for Granddaddy... they both got to roam during the ceremony.
First of all, this pic is proof that yes, my daughter has more than one dress. :) We met up with Missy, Adley, and Corbin at church that next day before they headed off to Florida. Reagan was BESIDE herself excited... I hadn't told her we would see them. Sweet cousins!!!

I just love how Corbin dotes on her! And isn't he just so stinkin' cute?!?!
All kids get to "go up" when with my dad. I love her joyous look and her flying hair in this picture.
This is how badly she misses her cousins now after seeing them two weekends in a row: we visit their videos from like a year ago on youtube on a daily basis so she can say HI to them. She sits at the computer and asks for them!


This week Poppy came in town on business, so we met up with him, aunts, uncles, and cousin for supper. She also has a special "thing" for Poppy. It is so sweet! She mostly refuses a high chair when he is around, and he doesn't seem to mind. :)

Here they are looking at sweet baby Austin. He really makes her look like a big girl.
She REALLY liked the baby, and kept asking him to get "UP!" She really didn't understand why he was night-night at the dinner table. He was being such a baby.
Much to Aunt BB's dismay, she tried poking him to get him up. With her grubby queso fingers.
Then laughed in Aunt BB's face about it! Stinker.
Sitting with Uncle Turbo, still pointing at the baby. They are gonna be such good friends!

You'll notice the wardrobe change... she had a major puking episode at dinner all over her clothes. So she finished supper in just her leggings and her jacket. So gross. Here, David and Brenna exchanged children.
She kept sticking the straw in Brenna's water and trying to give Mary a drink...
... which always results in the recipient just getting wet. Can you tell Aunt BB loved it more than Aunt Mary?? :)
Sweet Aunt Mary with her niece and nephew. :) She held Austin while rubbing Reagan's back. R was obviously tired and sitting on a full diaper.

That gets me closer to caught up. Happy weekend everybody! And thank you to my sweet husband... 5 years ago today he planned the most fun day EVER and asked me to marry him. I was having a smart day and said yes. I love you honey!!!

So my computer is slow or something and all of the pictures didn't open. Just a lovely box with a small red x. :( I'll try again later. BUT, your description of them are so good that I felt like I actually saw the picutres! One that did open up was of Adam holding Reagan. So precious they have a special bond!

I like the pic of R's full diaper. Too cute! I'm jealous that you were at my old house.

Your blog looks great! Okay, first I am compelled to address the potty training question because I am a know-it-all and love to give advice even though my son refuses to even consider potty training. If she's interested and wants to go, go for it! Our girls didn't really get interested till right about their third birthday. With one, I stressed and struggled and finally gave up till she was ready, and with the other I chilled out and let her decide when she was ready, and they both were so easy then. It took just a few days, and bedwetting was virtually nonexistent, too. And, honestly, how many 30-year-olds do you see in diapers? My son may be the first. A drawer full of Super Heros and Thomas and baseball underwear, and he just gets freaked out a little on us when they get about to his knees and says, "Take if off, Mom! Take it off." Next, her Easter dress is so sweet it deserves to be worn multiple times, so who cares how many posts it's in? Hey, y'all take care--is this the longest comment ever?
