Happy Girls ... Hot Days

We have not been up to much these days. It is growing hotter and hotter everyday. We have almost hit 100 degrees already! We have gone to Grandma's house and swam twice now (just in the hot tub though, the pool is still in the 70's).
Reagan is getting more and more brave in the water, starting to put her face in but only with goggles on. She starts swim lessons in June, and hopefully will be swimming by the end of the summer. She has had fears of the water since she was a baby, so we are hoping this will be the summer she will let loose!
Riley, on the other hand, has NO FEAR of the water. She is going to be our little fish this summer. Once I get her some ear plugs to protect her tubes, she will be all over the pool. She loved kicking her feet, splashing her hands, and drinking the pool water.
Of course, I did not have my camera with me both times we were in the water, but hopefully next time I will remember to bring the camera. Not that taking pictures will be easy since I have to hold on to a squirmy wet baby!
Since I did not have pool pictures, here are some recent pictures of the girls. Enjoy!

Look at all my teeth!
Loving sisters ... they honestly love each other a lot (right now).
My Big Ol' Smile!
This is how I look when I am laughing!

Way To Go Mom & Dad!

For the past twelve weeks, Scott & I have been participating in a Biggest Loser Couples competition with our neighbors. There were seven teams and the winner was determined by the percentage of weight lost between the couples. Our final weigh in was yesterday, and we came in 2nd place.
Not only did we lose 11.41% of our total weight, but we also developed a healthier lifestyle by changing our eating and exercise habits.
We are very proud of ourselves and we look good too!

Future American Idol?

Reagan loves to sing ...
whether or not she should!
I see a future American Idol contestant (or one of those who makes a fool of themselves)!
Just kidding ... she keeps us laughing though.

These video's are a little dark but you can definitely HEAR her!
And from what you can see, you should enjoy it thoroughly!

Almost Walking

Riley has discovered how to push toys around to get to a different place. She cannot stand up by herself yet, but she is "cruising"! Sometimes the toys go to fast, she can't keep up!

Olympics Day

Today was the Olympic Games at Reagan's school. They had fun activities such as tumbling, relay races, balloon bop, bean bag toss, basketball, ribbon twirling, and parachute play. Afterwards they got a medal & popsicles to celebrate being a good team player.


After the "games", Reagan's class released the Painted Lady Butterflies that they raised in her classroom (we did it at home too, but have not released ours yet). It was a beautiful and fun day for the girls.


The Ribbon Twirl. This was Reagan's favorite activity.

Basketball shoot ... look at her go!

Goodbye Butterflies!

This one found a new home right on the flowers!
