The best part of the trip

I sort of put this is backwards but, the best part of the trip was just visiting with Dallen, Marie & playing with baby Jonah!

Trip to Chicago

Here is what we did on our trip to Chicago. We saw a lot of famous art and played a lot with Jonah.



We watched Dallen run a ten mile race when he ended running through the tunnel at Soilder Field and finished running around the field. I think he got 13th out of around 7,500. We saw a lot of tall buildings and went to stores where we could not afford anything.


We walked from their apartment to Lake Michigan but the best part of the trip was .....

Verbal

Reagan is becoming more and more verbal everyday. He is always talking, yelling or singing. He is starting to say more words now. He can say momma, daddy, hi, bye, juice, dog, Jesus, ball, catch, mine, papa, and grandpa. Last Sunday right before sacrament meeting was about to start Reagan darted out of the chapel. We weren't sure what he wanted but we knew that he had a mission. We soon found out what that was. He wanted to see all the pictures in the whole church. He ran to each one pointed said Jesus then ran to the next one and did the same. I am still waiting for him to run up to me give me a hug and say "Momma I love you!" I better give it another week or two. This week all Reagan has done is run up to me and barfed on me. What a boy! He seems to have slimmed up a bit this week. I guess that is what happens when you won't eat or drink anything for a week and when you do you throw it up on your mother.

Bad Parenting

This was a video with Marie sounding scared and Dallen quite amused.

Blake's new look

Blake with a poney tail

Doesn't she (I mean he) look cute! We decided that he was looking too much like a girl, so we decided to give him a hair cut!

Our Family

Jonah takes a bath

Jonah has just started to learn to like his bath. As you can see he sometimes gets a little scared. Watch what happens about 15 seconds into this one.

What a Boy!!!

Here is a movie I made with the last pictures I took of Reagan. I hope you enjoy the video.

Playing ball

This is one of Reagan's Favorite games to play. We kick the ball up the driveway and Reagan tries to get the ball on the way back down. He doesn't normally crawl when he plays. I am not sure why he was doing that.

Story Time

I took this video of Reagan reading from one of his favorite books. So enjoy a little story time with Reagan.

Sleep over

I am not very fast at posting these pictures but I needed to post something fun and all I ever do is work, work, work! Reagan was really happy that he brought his car pj's for the sleepover!
Reagan is wondering why he only got peaches and everyone else got cinnamon rolls

Ian "The Goal Scoring Machine" Ashby

Here's a great video of Ian ALMOST scoring a goal. Does this remind you of Charlie Brown?

haircut

Hey everybody. Today I got a haircut. It is probably the shortest haircut I have ever gotten in my life. I really like it so far, but we will see if I can style it all by myself in the morning. These were taken about an hour ago. Cory hasnt even seen me yet, he says doesn't like short hair much, but I needed a change. I hope he likes it.

What do you like to do in the summertime?

Thats what Reagan Likes to do in the summertime how about you? Reagan is even signed up to take swimming lessons in July.

Little Einstein

I was on ebay last week and saw that I could buy a set of 26 Baby Einstein videos. They have tons of new sets on there. I was able to by the set for about $25. I think that they are selling for cheap because they are the 2007 set. The company also puts all 26 DVDs in one case. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Reagan loves the videos. They play cool classical music and show toys and puppets. They aren't real entertaining for an adult but Reagan loves them. Reagan will actually sit down for 20 minutes without getting up. You may not believe me since Reagan is not one that sits still so I posted a video to prove it. Reagan thinks all animals are "doggies." He points to every animal and puppet on the movie and shouts "doggy." He also likes to sway to the music.

Our Crab Apple Tree

About two days ago our tree bloomed. It is called an "Indian magic crab apple". We are so happy to have a pretty tree in our front yard. Arent you all so excited that spring is here? We just love how everything is turning from gray to green here in boise. Also- can you see the bee in the close up picture?

My little rockstar!

I finally took some pictures of claire in this shirt that I made. This shirt took days to make and if i didnt take any pics i would have been really mad at myself. Isn't she the cutest little rockstar you have ever seen? I tried to get her to make the I love you symbol with her hands and to stick her tongue out, but she refused. She just sat down in the grass and crossed her legs like the lady that she is.

Big Boy Cup

We usually give Reagan a cup of water with a lid and straw when he eats. The last couple of days Reagan has realized that our cups are bigger and cooler than his cup. He thinks that he needs to drink from the same cups as us. If we leave one of our cups on top of the table Reagan will climb on top of a chair and then the table and helps himself to our water. He is not the best at drinking from a cup on his own. As you can see from the picture his shirt is a little wet. After playing outside I usually help him drink water from one of our cups so he doesn't spill so much. He thinks he is pretty cool when he drinks from our cups. He can drink about 8 oz.

Cars

Reagan is excited to come to Boise in a month. He has gotten his cars out to play with. He is hoping he can find somebody that will want to play cars with him.
