Reagan's Presents

Oops! I meant the presents to come after the cake, oh well! I wish there was an easy way to switch the order of posts or even just the pictures with in posts. I always have to delete and reload if I do it in the wrong order. Does anyone know a trick I don't know? Remember anyone can make comments on the blog now so please feel free to let me know how to move pictures and posts around easily if it's possible. Thanks!

Anyhoo... back to Reagan's party. After Chuck E Cheese's we opened presents at the house. Thanks to everyone who sent or brought a gift for Reagan!

Reagan opening her bike from Grandma Pat and Pappy
Reagan was very excited about the bike and immiditely exclaimed "I have a bike!" (all week long she had been watching the neighbor girls ride bike and telling me "I don't have a bike")
Like Christmas Reagan wanted to enjoy every present she opened. That process was taking a bit too long for Chaz and Heidi (Anna was sleeping) so they decided to help Reagan out a bit. :)

Grammy found some small Disney figurines for Reagan's birthday and she loved them just as I expected she would. While it's easy to find beanie baby size figures for some reason I've had difficulty finding small ones that would be easy to carry with us. Thank you Grammy and Pa!

Reagan's Caterpillar Cake

Reagan had a very special birthday cake this year. Grandma Pat made an incredible Caterpillar Cake especially for Reagan. It was so cool!
Reagan decided she needed to try a bite right away. :)
Yummy!
Even though this is out of order I thought you all might enjoy seeing some of the assembly of the cake. Pat truly does incredible cakes and we sure appreciated her putting this one together for Miss Reagan! :)

Grammy worked on the twizzler smile

Outside Fun

The weather was absolutely perfect last weekend for playing outside so we spent a lot of time taking advantage of the beautiful spring weather!

Everyone enjoying the swings
Kennedy was especially enjoying her ride with Pa (I love how she's holding on!)
Heidi decided to join in on the fun with Kennedy and Pa
Reagan decided she needed both Grandmas to swing with her
We kept Pa very busy with various projects this weekend. One was replacing a slide on the swingset. Here the guys are working on taking off the old one.

Uncle Dan and Charlie helping Pa out :)
Reagan all ready to try the new slide out
Heidi had lots of fun on the slide too
Uncle Dan helping Reagan slide even though she wanted to do it herself

Cute Kid B-Day Weekend Pics

Here are some random cute pictures of the kids from the weekend. They're not in any paricular order just pictures I wanted to post and share. :)

Grandma Pat discovered Kennedy has a favorite window this weekend. Kennedy loves the pink dogwood as well as the carrot hanging from the window.
Kennedy is such a little wiggle worm in general but one thing we've noticed she really likes doing is turning around and checking out who is holding her.
Kennedy has been working so hard on getting teeth the last couple of weeks. She was so sad Sunday afternoon and Grandma discovered twizzlers help a bit to chew on! :)

Grammy and Reagan love to be silly together! Here they are running around the house Saturday morning having lots of fun! :)

The grandmas and their sweet girls
Friday night Kelly and I walked to Chick Fillet (splg?) to pick up chicken nuggets for the girls for dinner
On the way back I bumped the wagon on the sidewalk which made Heidi spill her drink. Both girls (especially Reagan) were very concerned about getting the lemonade on their shoes.
Everyone loves Grammy's sugar cookies! Reagan is no exception and Grammy made some very special number 2 sugar cookies for Reagan and her guests to share for her birthday weekend. Here is Reagan stacking her 2's.
The three 2 year old girs enjoyed taking the cookies out and putting them back in the container alternately. :)


Chaz getting in on the cookie action too :)
Kennedy discovered that she loves balloons Friday evening with the help of Grammy and Pa
