HaLLoWeeN in November

It's Thanksgiving EVE and I'm working......kinda ; )

Anywootin', I thought this was a great opportunity to finally post some of Reagan's Halloween pictures. These aren't all of them (duh). In fact, this is just right after dressing her before heading out to the Ward's trunk-or-treat extravaganza. I had to shut her bedroom door and chase her around the room with the camera. She's not one of those kids that hams it up for the camera. A shame really, seeing as how her Daddy's a photographer after all.

(Pre-Halloween) Reagan was going to be a ladybug but...then I found

the makings for this super cute Fairy Princess getup!

I don't want to hold my wand, I just want to hold

this silly head band!!

FINE, I'll hold the wand!!


Back to the headband!


'K Mom, I'm ready for the candy now : )

Happy Birthday Handsome Man

Here's an official happy birthday post for my Favorite! I hope that today is full of laughter, love and a good nap. Here's to a day without any diaper rash, blowout's, temper tantrums, bumps, bruises, scrapes, scratches, throwing up, sore gums or crabby faces. Oh and let's hope everything goes well with the baby, too!!

I love you Darling boy/man/husband/father/best friend. I love you with all the breath in my lungs. This is going to be the best year yet. I love you. Lips lips....

A Dyson Christmas!!!!

Yes everyone, that is right. I now have my very own DYSON! Ahhhhhhh : ) Let's just say that my darling husband took my little "plea" from an earlier post as a hint. Thank you so much to Mom, Jimmy, Dad, Renee, Ciera, Devin, Lisa, Scott, Grandma, Grandpa, Gma Butler/Nana and Gpa Butler/Tata for chipping in and making this gift so special! And not to forget my wonderful husband, Eric for doing all the organizing. Good job keeping it a secret babe! I wondered why you kept asking silly things like "If you could have Dyson, ANY Dyson you wanted, what would you pick??" You're so cute! The vacuum is amazing, and OF COURSE I've already used it. Would you expect anything less? And because this is a blog I HAVE to tell the story of how Eric gave it to me. So I get home from work Wednesday evening and am getting dinner ready and notice that Reagan needs a diaper change, BADLY. So I ask Eric to change her for me and he heads back to her room and calls for her to follow. She starts to go but sees our old vacuum in the hall and is frozen with fear (she's petrified of the vacuum). So Eric asks if I'd put the vacuum away because "the baby" (in more ways that one obviously) is scared and wont move while its out. So as I open the closet to put the old vacuum away there in it's place was a beautiful, new, shining Dyson! It was such a fun surprise. And what's better is that I get it early. Wooo woo! Thanks again everyone, I love you all so much!!

And yes, I did post this before any Halloween pictures of my daughter. Don't judge me!!
