Raegan Recently...

Our pride & joy : ) Raegan is growing up so fast! She is very entertaining and has such a sweet heart!

Pushing her baby, Alli, in her shopping cart before school.


Raegan likes to have these "parties" which include putting a whole lot of toys (baby dolls, ponies, peppa pig dolls, & stuffed animals) all close together (usually on a couch) and then sitting near them.  She'll sit there for a long time and just be part of the "party."


When we were taking Cameron's two month pictures, Alli and Raegan didn't want to be left out : )


Funny Conversations:
Me: Raegan how come you're so pretty?
Raegan: God just made me that way

Raegan: Did you go to the doctor?
Me: Yes the doctor said its not time for bubba to come out yet
Raegan: Did you tell him its November? Did you tell the doctor that mom?

Raegan: I don't believe he's in there
Me: Yes he is feel him right here
Raegan: Where are his bones?

Me: Raegan what are you doing?
Raegan: Nothing... did you see me doing nothing mom?

approximately 4am...
Raegan: I'm sorry to bother you mommy but I peed in my pullup
Me: Oh sweet girl you are not bothering me, I'm your mommy and its my job to take care of you : )

Raegan: Santa's not going to know I want these for Christmas, so you take a picture mom so we can show him I want these?

Raegan: You see me pushing my stroller like a big mommy
Me: Yes you're doing a great job
Raegan: That's because when I grow up I want to be a mommy

Me: What did you learn in Sunday School today?
Raegan: Jesus will be my friend FOREVER!

Me: Do you want to watch Dora
Raegan: No I don't like Dora
Me: You don't?
Raegan: Nope I'm allergic to Dora

Other Random quotes from Miss R:

"Listen to what the Bible says: Do not say shut up, if you do the elf will take your baby and give it to Santa and Santa will give it to someone else"

"Once upon a time Jesus popped out of his mommy's tummy"

"How you know that?"

"I'm going to be a dancer and I'm going to flip, jump, and play football and you have to come see me and you have to cheer for me and say go Raegan, go Raegan!"

"How do I look?"

"Got it mom? Got it?"

"Did I do a good job mommy? Are you so proud of me?"

"When I grow up I want to be snow white and I'm gonna tell the prince where I live because he doesn't know where I live and he doesn't live in Moore, Oklahoma."

"Hey bubba when you grow up do you want to be Ariel or Cinderella?"

"Cinderella is my best friend and I'm going to go see her and tell her my name and she's going to like me and I'm going to be nice to her and play with her and I'm not going to hurt her or be mean to her.  How do you get to her castle and get Cinderella and bring her home with us? Do you have her phone number? We need to get her phone number so she can come to our house and we need to tell her where we live."

"Shhh I'm trying to talk"

"But I need to tell you something"

"Don't say SSHHHH to me"

"Its okay bubba sisters right here, don't cry for me, if you cry for me I'll come right back"

"Come on piggy bank give me my money, I need it to go to college and BU and play football, I need ALL of it!"

"My husband likes spiderman, that's a good movie"

Christmas Spirit

I just want to take a minute to let everyone know how awesome my husband is.  I know it may seem like I do this a lot, but I don't feel like I do it nearly enough.

Last Sunday we took Cameron to his first church service.  Raegan didn't want to go into her 'older 3s' class because her best friend, Reese, wasn't there.  So of course her daddy who is wrapped around her little finger asked one of the teachers in the 2 year old room where our neighbor, Payton, was if Raegan could go in there.  They of course let her, and since she is so little she fit right in with the two year olds. 

After church  we made our first grocery trip with 2 children.  I was so thankful to have Philip with me, because I'm not sure it would have gone as smoothly without him.  He's so good at getting us in and out of there quickly, because he doesn't get as distracted as I do.  But it was on our way out of the grocery store that Philip really impressed me. 

While we were shopping an older man came up from behind us holding Raegans big, red, velvet bow and said I think this may be yours.  It must have fallen out of her side ponytail when she got so excited that I was letting her get Perry fruit snacks.  We thanked him for picking it up and bringing it to us. 

Probably 20 minutes later we were in the checkout lane and that same elderly man with a Christmas tree box in his shopping cart and his wife in a motorized chair with canned goods in her basket were behind us.  I wouldn't have even noticed, but Philip did and quietly asked the cashier to add a giftcard to our purchase but to apply it to the elderly couple's purchase.  She looked at him a little oddly (like this isn't Starbucks, no one does pay it forward at Walmart).  Then she looked at the couple, I wonder if she thought they might be our grandparents, since I was putting the lady's cans from her basket and up on the belt for her. 

The couple didn't know Philip bought a giftcard to pay for their shopping trip that day and we left without getting to see the expression on their faces when they found out, but that's okay because it sure did feel good to give to someone when they weren't expecting it. 

I'm so thankful for a husband who gives so much to others and always thinks of others above himself.  I'm proud to be his wife.

A New Tradition

On Sunday Raegan received a package in the mail from Santa Claus. It was The Elf on the Shelf and Philip read the book to her and Cameron right away. Raegan named her elf Dora.

Monday morning Raegan woke up and found Dora the elf had eaten one of our peppermints and was sitting on our kitchen table.




Tuesday morning Raegan found that Dora had rearranged the letters in Cameron's room and was sitting michieviously up on his shelf.

Wednesday morning silly Dora the elf had built a tower using Raegan's blocks.





Thursday morning the elf decided to keep an eye on Raegan and she found him riding her PINK dog up on the yellow shelf above her kitchen.

 Friday morning Raegan found the elf hanging upside down looking at herself in the mirror.  Raegan thought this was pretty funny!

This morning Raegan found the elf back on our kitchen table, this time it looks like she's been eating one of our cookies.

We are having fun with Elf on the Shelf.  Raegan asks LOTS of questions and likes to show the elf her toys, art work, booboos, new cups, etc...
