Sun Bathing

2012-01-14T16:33:00.001-07:00

Raleigh and Cheyenne love to Sun bath at the top of the stairs. This time I decided to join them.

Shopping!

2012-01-14T16:26:00.001-07:00

We went shopping for Reagan today and found a lot of great deals. Reagan is lucky to have such great grandparents who like to spoil her. These pictures are full of clothes that Reagan got from her Great-Grandparents, Walt and Glenda.

Reagan loves fuzzy things, so we got her some fuzzy pink boots. She was getting comments everywhere we went!

At the Park

2012-01-04T19:44:00.001-07:00

This weekend we went to the Park. We thought Reagan would really enjoy the swing but she was not so sure. We put her in the swing and she just sat there... Stone faced. Either she was trying to figure out what we were doing to her or she was terrified.

Eventually, we got her to say, "whee" but only in a low even tone. Oh well, maybe next time. I did get one picture of her smiling. She did enjoy staring at the other kids and would laugh after going the slide with mom. She also walked about a foot onto the frozen lake. She would have kept going but we decided that we would stick to land.

Temple Square

2011-11-27T17:44:00.001-07:00

All of my family was able to get together to attend Lindsay's concert at the lds assembly hall at temple square. The concert was great and we took some pictures around the lights. Reagan was a bit cold and wasn't talking much, but you could tell she really liked all of the lights!

Christmas already

2011-11-27T16:13:00.001-07:00

I got my Christmas present early. I think Jordan was just as excited about it as I am. I had no idea he bought.

Black Friday!

2011-11-26T15:31:00.001-07:00

back Friday did not involve too much fuss this year. Sean, Reagan, and I went to do a little shopping. We went to McDonalds first and Regan had some pancakes. She loves the doll she got from Great Grandma Glenda! Then we found some poinsetta plants for $0.99! Reagan liked to hide with them.

This is my first post from my phone, so I don't know how it will look.

Happy Birthday Reagan!

2011-11-20T19:49:00.004-07:00

Happy Birthday Reagan. She turned 1 on Thursday, November 1st. I can't believe she is one already. We didn't do much but were able to do cake on Saturday with my family. It was a chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting.

For her birthday she really got quite a few toys and clothes which she needed both. Reagan now weighs 22.2 lbs and about 30 inches long. She did really well with her shots like she always does but I found out that she has 2 molars coming in so she has been very grumpy lately.

She was really funny with her cake and would just eat it a little bit at a time and didn't really dig in too much. She would drop crumbs on the floor and say "Uh, oh". I never really noticed how clean she really is.

Here is Reagan blowing out her candles. I really had to do it but she was blowing but not hard enough to blow it out.

Wow this year has flown by but I couldn't imagine life with out Reagan. She loves her dad and the puppies. Her first words were Hi Dad. She will say that to Jordan every morning when she wakes up. She is very active and likes to be moving or doing something all the time but she also loves reading books and cuddling watching tv, although not for very long. She is very gentle with the puppies and loves them alot.

Although she is not walking yet, she is very stable on her feet and will be walking in no time.

Happy Birthday. We love you Reagan Clara.

BYU vs Utah

2011-09-18T20:15:00.001-06:00

On Saturday was the BYU vs Utah football game. Here in Utah, also known as "The Holy War". We invited some family over for the game and for food. The game was good, especially for those Utes fans..... GO UTES!!!

We had the whole family decked out in their Utah entire. Even the puppies. Raleigh is on top and Cheynne is below.

Here is the cute baby in her Utah sweat suit. She is saying Go Utes...

Here are the drinks.... Red and Blue.

And lots of good eats..

The food, company and game was good. It was such a fun night.

Reagan's doll

2011-08-07T07:02:00.003-06:00

Like always Reagan is growing more and more and I have realized in the last week she is ready for a new size but I don't have very many clothes in 12 months. I decided to go shopping for a couple outfits. My mom , Reagan and I went to a couple stores and bought her 2 dresses, 2 rompers, and a couple pairs of shoes. After we made our selections we went over to the toy section to look at the toys and see what Reagan liked. She played with some of the toys and then I went to look at the dolls because I wanted to see if she would like dolls. I handed her a cabbage patch which she really liked and then another plush doll, but didn't like that as much. I found this doll and thought it was cute and she would like it because it had hair. I gave her the doll and she was laughing and talking to the doll and being so loud in the store. My mom was in the other aisle and heard her and wondered what was going on.

We gave her other toys such as an electronic book but she only wanted to look at and play with this doll. There was a brunnette one too and I held them both up to her and she grabbed the blonde one every time. So we had to get it. I have never seen her act like that about a toy but she really loves that doll.

Sutter Creek Mine

2011-07-23T21:05:00.004-06:00

We went to Sutter Creek, which is a small mining town in California that mined gold. We were able to take a tour of the mine. We got all ready and put on our hard hats and got into the vehicles to drive us into the mine.

This is a picture of my nephew, Bridger, he looks like he is bored but little do you know that he is very scared. He was so worried that we were going into the mine but I think he liked it in the end.

Here we are in the mine looking back. It was very dark and cold in there it was amazing.

This mine has been closed and they are just having tours through it because the price of gold dipped quite a bit so it wasn't worth paying the workers for how much you were getting from the gold. This is the last month for a couple years they are having tours because they are reopening the mine to get the gold.

The explained how they found the gold and what all the tools did etc.

Here we go back out of the mine. You wonder where the light at the end of the tunnel saying came from. There you go....

San Francisco Part 2

2011-07-23T20:54:00.005-06:00

I got a little behind in posting pictures for our trip to California so here are the rest of them. During our time in San Francisco, we took a double decker bus and saw all the sites of San Francisco. Here is a picture of China Town.

This is the entrance of China Town

Not only did we go to China Town but we saw the Golden Gate Park, it was closed so we couldn't go in and drove past the Full House home. There was so much to see and do in San Francisco and we didn't have enough time to do everything. Good thing I know some people that are in California and we can visit again sometime.

Here is Reagan and I waiting for Jordan to get back from his walk on the Golden Gate Bridge. I went on it for a little ways but couldn't walk to the middle of the bridge like he did.

Here is Jordan and Reagan showing you how big the cables are on the Golden Gate Bridge.

You can't really see the Golden Gate bridge because of all the fog but it is back there.

What a pretty city. It is cooler over by the Bridge because of the Ocean next to it but it was so fun.

San Francisco Here we Come.

2011-07-16T21:45:00.004-06:00

During our time in California we went to San Francisco. It was only about a 2 hour drive. We rented a 12 passenger van and took off as a family to see the site. Here is the poor Reagan in her car seat wondering where we were going now.

Reagan started to associate her car seat with traveling towards the end of her trip and would start squirming and crying when we put her in to belt her in. Poor little girl.

We had to cross the Bay Bridge to get into San Francisco and here is a picture as we were driving across.

Reagan was so awnry and I gave her a bottle she feel asleep drinking it but I would try to take it away and give her her pacifer but she would start crying again. So she drink the whole thing while she was sleeping. It was so funny and cute too don't you think.

We finally made it there and were starving. We went to a restaurant that was on top of the Bourdin Sourdough store. Above is Kennedy eating her fish and chips. Yummy!!

Reagan was excited to finally get some food and be out of the car seat. What a cutie.

Reagan eat so much at the restaurant but was still whining for more food so we gave her to top of the bread bowl from Jordan's food. She really loved it. She had so much Sourdough bread in San Francisco.

Below the restaurant is the bakery of the Sourdough bread and they make the cutest shapes. We had to buy a Turtle for my family for watching the dogs for us.

Also as many know that not only is San Fransisco known for their sourdough and crabs but also the street entertainment. As we were walking around there were so many great musicians, people dress in silver and miming likes statues. This was a first.

San Francisco was so much fun. There are many more pictures to come from this wonderful city.

California- Time of Firsts.

2011-07-16T21:28:00.004-06:00

Jordan and I went to California from Monday July 4th to Sunday, July 10th. We left after Jordan's shift on Monday after at 2pm and arrived in Rocklin, California at about 11pm. The drive was a little long just because it was later in the day but were very excited to see Jordan's parents, grandparents and Aunt and Uncle. We went to the pool that is by Jordan's parents house. It was beautiful and nice to be the pool when it was so hot.

Here is a picture of the pool. It was beautiful and had a seperate wading pool and a large pool in the center with cabanas with privacy curtains sorrounding the pool.

This picture is of the landscape surrounding the pool,

This is a fountain that is towards the back of the pool

This was Reagan's first time in the pool. She was a little nervous in this picture because it was just after the first time we put her head in the water.

She soon started to enjoy the pool and would splash and kick her legs and would float on her back but got a little nervous when she realized that we weren't holding her upright.

Here is a picture of Jordan's brother Sean with Charlotte. He was there to tame the monster and make her happy. She really wanted to just jump in the big pool. She is very daring.

Here is Reagan with Grammie in the wading pool. She really liked watching the water and keep trying to stick her face in and in the shallow end she wanted to crawl around.

Here is the happy baby after the pool getting all warm. She was sitting on Grandpa's lap.

I Melt Daddy's Heart

Reagan the puppy

2011-06-05T21:31:00.002-06:00

Reagan has found that her mouth is very useful when she is crawling around. She will put anything in her mouth to carry it somewhere else.

I think she might be learning things from the puppies.

Memorial Day

2011-05-31T20:40:00.003-06:00

Every year at West Jordan's veterans park they hold a Memorial Day Service. They do a little program and have the Utah Pipe Band and speakers give a little presentation. This year they had an Apache helicopter land and you could walk around it. It was very fun.

On one side of the park there is a reflection pool and sorrounding it are little cement signs for each of the branches on military. This picture is Reagan in front of the Army symbol and holding an American flag.

Here is our cute little family...

What a cute baby and hubby. Reagan just loved the flag and liked to watch it wave in the wind.

But really more than that she wanted to eat it.

I am so grateful to all those that served and currently do serve in all realms of the military to keep our country safe as well as for the freedoms that we have received due to the selfless service they give. I grew up in a military family and the flag, the Army and the servicemen and women will always have a special place in my heart. I saw first hand all the hard work and dedication that is necessary for the servicemen and women as well as their families.

Before we were married Jordan has always considered joining a branch of the military. Unfortantely, it doesn't really work for us right now but he still is trying to do his part to serve the country. He has a dedication to serve and hopefully will be able to continue his service as a police officer.

God Bless America!

Just Because.

2011-05-01T13:41:00.004-06:00

Reagan is so fun to dress up. Here she is sporting her new dress from her Grammie. What a cute girl.

Easter Pictures

2011-04-25T20:23:00.004-06:00

It was Reagan's first Easter this year. She got this Easter dress from my mom. It came with shoes to match.

She loved these colorful Easter eggs and wanted to put them all in her mouth.

Look at her stare at the eggs. She really wants to eat them.

Still Learning how to Crawl.

2011-04-25T20:01:00.003-06:00

Reagan is still trying to figure out how to crawl. She will hop forward now. She is getting close but not quite there yet.
It is fun to see her try...

It's finally Spring!

2011-04-17T20:05:00.002-06:00

It is finally Spring and we had such a nice weekend. We pulled out the stroller and walked down to the Lake. Jordan has decided he would like to try fishing this year. He went out and bought a license and basic fishing stuff- pole, hooks etc.

He fished for a little bit on Saturday and then again Sunday afternoon. He finally caught one on Sunday. It wasn't that big but he brought it home because it was the first one. He gutted it and everything and then fried it up. It was pretty good.

Maybe we will attempt fishing again some time.

This is the picture of Ted. That is short for Tedward.

Chewing Vanilla Coke Zero?

2011-04-10T17:38:00.002-06:00

Since Reagan has been eating cereal (one week) she is starting to practice chewing all the time. You can find her laying by herself on her tummy and she will practice chewing. Well today Jordan was holding her drinking his coke and Reagan starting chewing. It was so funny so we decided to video it.

I sound kindof creepy in the video but it is pretty funny. You will also notice her turn and make a weird face to the camera. I think some of the carbination went up her nose.

Reagan and Cheyenne Bonding

2011-03-29T18:57:00.003-06:00

Ok, maybe not bonding... Cheyenne could care less about Reagan right now, she was only concerned with her Buffalo Carcass... Weimaraners are famous for this kind of focus. It used to be a stuffed animal, but she took the stuffing out, so now it is just the hide. She still loves it though. I think they will be best friends when she gets a little older (Cheyenne and Reagan, of course).

Anyway, I am not sure what it was but Reagan just thinks that Cheyenne is hilarious!

4 month appt

2011-03-24T20:53:00.001-06:00

Reagan went for her 4 month appt and is weighing 16.2 lbs and is in the 69th percentile and is 25" long and is in the 71st percentile.

3 1/2 months old.

2011-03-05T18:47:00.004-07:00

Our little Reagan is 3 1/2 months old and is now wearing 6-9 month clothes. She is growing so fast and is so tall. We weighed her this week and she was weighing 15 lbs now. I can't believe how big she is and she is starting to be very independent. Within the last couple weeks she has started to roll over and can sometimes roll from her tummy to her back but when she can't she get so mad.

What a drooly baby!!

She doesn't like the camera flashing in her eyes.

She is so cute in this one just so loveable. I just want to hug her and kiss her all over.

She are noticing her hair is starting to lighten up. I think she might be getting blonde hair. None of these pictures were posed she is just that cute.

4 year anniversary.

2011-02-20T11:54:00.003-07:00

Jordan and I 4 years today got married in the Salt Lake Temple. We met at Bingham High School were Jordan was a junior and I was a senior. We knew of each other because we had friends in common and were both in the marching band together. We really started talking and getting to know each other in our College Algebra class. Our first date was Homecoming and enjoying being together. We were both so busy during high school but were in the same after school activites so we would see each other quite a bit.

After high school I went to school at College of Eastern Utah and Jordan was still in high school. He didn't really seem to date his senior year and when I was home for holidays we would go on dates and at least make sure to see eachother.

Jordan graduated and I moved home and we were both working and Jordan was waiting for his mission call. Jordan was called to the Lubbock Texas Mission and left October 2004. I graduated in December 2004 and moved home and began attending University of Utah and then transferred to Utah Valley State College. Although Jordan says I was waiting for him , I really was doing my own thing and did go on a couple dates but nothing really worked out obviously.

Jordan came home in October 2006 and I remember being so nervous the day he came home because I knew he was going to come and visit me. After we saw eachother, it was just like 2 years hadn't passed and I think we both knew we were going to get married.

Jordan proposed on December 10th, 2006 and we were married on February 20th, 2007. In the last 4 years so much has happened. We got Cheyenne in May 2007 , purchased our home in December 2007, adopted Raleigh in November 2008 and recently had Reagan on November 2010.
