Raegan's 7th Birthday

 Beautiful Rae

 silly girl

 Her favorite gift was a guitar.  I don't know why but she has been asking for one for awhile.  She thinks she is hot stuff too.

 Playing dress up and make up.  Holy moly make up.

Our Raegan turned 7.  It's really hard to believe that it's even possible.  She has grown so much this last year. We are realizing just how smart and creative she is.  In a way it is fun to see your kids grow and develop into new little people.  Raegan is such a wonderful girl.  She is a great sister to her brother and sister.  She is always a good helper to mom and dad.  She has a mind of her own and tries really hard to make sure things go her way.  She is a good student and a really good friend.

This year she planned to have her friends walk home with her from school.  She had 7 girls walk home with her.  Her party was a polka dot party.  I don't know where she thought of it but it ended up being pretty cute.  Her and her friends played and ate and played and ate.  Opened presents, played dress up and make up and ate some more.  They all decorated cupcakes and had a super fun time.  We love you Raegan.  Happy Birthday.

Reesie's Joy School graduation May 7, 2012

Reese was SOOO excited for her little graduation.  All of her friends came over and they sang two songs.  They all looked so cute.  They did a great job.  Then they got their little certificates.  They have been working on a special end of the year book with some fun things they did and pictures.  Reese carried hers around the whole next day.  Then we all had treats.  It was super cute.  Good job kids.

Reese was so excited to wear make-up.  Can you tell?

Raegan is just a natural with everything she does

Reesie's class did a little hula dance.  It was really sweet.  This is the second night she preformed.  The first night didn't go so good.  As soon as the dance started her skirt came off. Well she didn't want to just drop her skirt because then people would see her underwear.  Haha.  So she stood on the stage holding her skirt the whole time.  Russ and I were so sad for her.  We were hoping it wouldn't make her too embarrassed.  When she was finished and I found her she said,"mom that was so embarrassing.  My skirt fell off."  But she was excited for the next time. The next time (you can see this in the video) Right at the beginning her necklace falls off one side.  When I was recording it I said a little prayer that it would STAY and not fall all the way off.  It did and I was so glad.  She did a great job and knew the dance well.  She has really enjoyed dance.  Love you Reese.  (Reese is the second girl in from the front)

Raegan did the cheer class again.  She got burned out towards the end of the semester.  She enjoys doing cheer but I think she is ready to move on to something new.  She did a great job too and she is just oh so cute.  (Raegan is the third girl in from the end)

A re-do

 Before

After

I have been getting the Spring cleaning bug.  I feel like all my baseboards and walls need new fresh paint.  My toy room was in need of a make over.  I painted it gray and I wanted yellow accents.  So, I painted the book shelf yellow.  I like how it turned out.  I will post more pictures of the whole finished project  (that is when it finally gets put back together).
