Birthday Party

Raegan went to her first birthday party today all by herself. She was super excited to be invited to her preschool friend, Tennley's, 5th birthday. She couldn't wait to give her the Barbie doll and Hannah Montana makeup. Just another reminder that she is growing up so fast.

Preschool Program

Raegan and her preschool class put on a musical program to show all the parents and grandparents the songs they had learned throughout the year. Surprisingly, Raegan got super nervous and was crying as she walked out onto the stage. She quickly calmed down but said later that when she saw all the people waiting to watch the program she got really nervous and scared. Overall she did great and was smiling by the end of the songs.

She started getting into as they began singing more songs

Afterwards with her preschool diploma. I can't imagine in 13 years when she's holding her highschool one. Sniff, Sniff.

With her teacher for the last 3 years, Mrs. Gerken, who is such a great lady and will be sorely missed.

I'm Baaackkk!

I know it's been awhile since I've posted any pics, but it's been quiet around here with not many reasons to take pics. Things are picking up again with preschool coming to an end, tball season starting, pool/lake season right around the corner and other fun things. Quick update on the pregnancy side. I had my 27 week checkup today and everything went well. Heartbeat sounded great, high 140's, and this lil man is moving constantly with the occassional elbow jabs that tend to make me jump right out of my seat. The boy is strong! Also had another one hour sugar test today. That went well and keeping my fingers crossed that the results come back with the right LOW numbers. All in all, we are doing great. Kids are getting excited for Memorial Day weekend at the lake, as are AJ and I. The pictures will start picking back up with all the fun things that are ahead of us this summer.

24 Weeks and Prenatal Checkup

I am 24 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. Having the usual aches and pains but nothing that I wasn't expecting or can't deal with. AJ also felt the baby move this week for the first time. He is very active at night and loves to kick and roll around while I'm trying to fall asleep. Also had my prenatal checkup today too. Everything went well and the baby's heartbeat sounded good and strong. The ultrasound calculated the baby's due date to be 8 days sooner than what we were first told so the doctor said to not be surprised if the baby comes end of July. That was fun to hear and will be interesting to see when he decides to finally show up.

Lydia's Baptism

We celebrated our niece and God daughter's baptism this weekend. She looked adorable in her dress, the same that our girls wore, and did great through the ceremony.

Jordyn Gets Her Ears Pierced

Jordyn got her ears pierced this afternoon and did great. She sat very still and didn't even shed a tear! She loves her pink flower earrings but still not too sure about having to sleep in them every night.

On our way home from Claire's.
Showing off her necklace she got for being such a big girl while getting her ears pierced.

Cozy with the Computer

Raegan and Jordyn like to hangout and play games on the computer. Whether it's Webkinz or Nick Jr. they (mostly Raegan) have mastered using these two websites. Still baffles me that my 5 year old can work a computer better than some grown adults and that her sister is not very far behind.
