Fun Times!

Grandma Arden came to see me and Rae for a couple days while Shawn was away on his regular 4...5 day road trip. It was really nice to have some fun company, and Raegan loved every second with grandma. She brought Raegan some new and used toys, and I have never seen a child more excited. Grandma gave her an old kitchen set with some dishes and plastic food, some books, a little popper that she can drag on the ground as it pops balls and counts to 5, and a few other things. My mom said she herself has never seen a kid react the way Rae did...my poor deprived child. Goes to show how spoiled she is...I figure I spoil her with love and hopefully thats enough, but she surely would enjoy to be spoiled with toys as well! Anyhow, she just couldn't decide where to start, so she simply ran around the house, threw herself on the ground, screamed at the top of her lungs and ran from toy to toy. It was hilarious. We laughed so hard we were in tears! There are some pics that will give you a vague idea of her excitement! We had a lot of fun...thanks mom for being a wonderful mom and grandma...you're great! There are some other random pictures...Raegan set up a little station with her chair, blanket, and bottle right in front of the sliding glass door so she could get a clear shot of her dad mowing the lawn...since she couldn't be outside with him due to the fridged Logan weather. I thought that was really cute. And last, for those who know me...if you can figure out whats different about me you win a prize. Carefully look at the picture! Good luck and enjoy!

Daddy Time!

So...since Shawn is gone so much during the season, we like to take the time we have with him and use it wisely. That doesn't mean we get out and do tons of fun and adventurous things...though we would like to....we have been home bodies just absorbing Raegan. Although we have been to the USU basketball game and obviously all the volleyball games, now that its getting chilly outside, and because Shawn doen't get home until later, we have our own little games here that Rae thoroughly enjoys! Most have involved her dad more than myself since he is a little more mobile, but that doesn't seem to bother any of us. She loves riding on his back like a horse. Its so cute, she lays down on his back with a big ol' smile and clasps on for dear life. She loves it. Shawn needed to prove his manlihood to me, and did a few push-ups with Rae on his back. And the other pics are just some fun ones of us all. Gotta love it!

She's the cook!

Grandma Trudy...this picture should make you proud! Rae decided she wanted to help mom and dad cook Sunday dinner without making a big mess on her Sunday dress so she grabbed the apron and asked, "On, On". So, there she is...our chubby little cook...just as happy as ever :) We're so proud.

Halloween Time

Our little lion had a blast trick-or-treating through the mall. She got really good and just holding out her orange pumpkin bucket for candy to be dropped in! She was adorable as you can see...and she didn't waste any time enjoying all her hard work.

The infamous red dress

A few of you will catch on to what Raegan was sportin' around the house! Pretty funny! She loves to play dress up with her hats and soft silk :)

Fun in the Sun

Here are some pictures of our big girl mowing the lawn with dad and Kaya! She thinks she's hot stuff struttin' around on that green green grass. She kills me!
