Reagan Ties The Knot

Reagan and Emma had Camden and Brynn over for a sleepover last night. When Camden and Reagan woke up Camden said to me, "I'm gonna marry Reagan." I shared the story with Emma and Brynn when they woke up and Brynn decided to marry them right away. Check out the ceremony, it's funny!

To Ski or Not to Ski? That is the question...

SKI!!!!!!!!!!!!





We took Ray for her first time skiing to Mt. Holly and let's just say she ROCKED it! If you know Reagan at all, you know she is our most dramatic child ever. It could have went 2 ways with her, REALLY good or REALLY bad. We are super thankful it went really well. She absolutely loved it. She probably skied 4 hours total. We still are in awe that she liked it as much as she did. It was so awesome to see her gain more and more self confidence and independence each run down. I certainly experienced a whole new side of Reagan tonight. I'm so glad that I got the chance to be there with her.





This is Emma's 3rd year skiing (she wouldn't let me take any pics of her) and she got right back to it as if there was no seasonal break. She was learning how to ski backwards and trying to jump too. NO FEAR! Oh to be young again! Both the girls can't wait until next week!

And the worst parent award goes to...

Yep, that's right, The Murtons!

We dropped the ball today and poor Emma had to face the brunt of it all by herself. WE FORGOT ALL ABOUT HER FIRST SPELLING BEE!! OMG! We signed her up six weeks ago and basically forgot about it ever since. The good news is that she finished in the top 20 out of 120 3rd through 5th grade kids. She missed the word bicycle. Even better news, her best little girlfriend, Brynn won! I just can't believe we were not there to witness it but I'm sure Emma is so excited for Brynn that maybe, just maybe, she'll forgive us...WE CAN HOPE RIGHT?!! Add a 4th child to the mix and I've become the most unorganized mommy ever! LOL!

Madison & The Stinky Bun

Maddie is super attached to her bunny blanket. It goes wherever she goes. She calls it several names including The Bun, Bunny, The Stinky Bun and Baby.












She even dresses The Bun when she is playing baby with it. She has been chewing on The Bun ever since she was able to figure out how to do so. We've tried to replace The Stinky Bun with the exact same bunny but no go!We call it The Stinky Bun because she chews on it all the time and never wants to wash it. She is very particular about the corner she chews on too. It gets pretty disgusting but she loves it more than any other thing that she owns. I'm just hoping that she'll be able to shake it by the time she goes to college!

Talking in her Sleep

While we were on our little getaway to Kalahari, we heard Emma in her sleep say, "Why do I have to do everything?" Oh lord, what are we doing to our child?! LOL.

Oh How Sweet the Sounds...

Sydney has found her voice and she is cooing like crazy now! I love her facial expressions when she does it. Her eyes get real big and she smiles super big when she realizes that she is the one making all the noise. It just melts my heart!

Kalahari Rocks!!

We surprised our girls with a mini-vacation to Kalahari in Sandusky Ohio this past Sunday through Tuesday. Kalahari is one of the largest indoor water parks in the U.S. It was a last minute decision to go and we sure are happy that we did. It was a blast! The kids were so surprised when we got there. The excitement on their faces when they saw the resort from the road was priceless!






















Reagan kept telling us how much she loved us and thank you, thank you! It was so cute. Emma was screaming yeah and jumping in her seat and Maddie, she was excited because the other girls were excited.
