Little Reagan turned 6!!!!! Not little anymore...

Yes, you heard me correctly!  Miss R turned 6 this past week.  Can NOT believe I have a 6 year old and a 7 year old now.  Time certainly flies when you are busy and life is good!  Last weekend, Reagan had her birthday party...and in true Reagan style, it was at a ice rink. ha!  So on a 75 degree day in May, we skated around a cold rink all in honor of our little Reags.  :)  Aunt Jill was here visiting and we were so excited to have her join us for the birthday festivities.  Here are a few pictures from her birthday party:

 Of course, Daddy had to push Reagan around too!

 The party gang! plus Mommy...

 Yum, the birthday cake!

"Happy Birthday to you..."

ARUBA...we miss you!

Two weeks ago, the Waldner family headed down to Aruba for a fun break away from the crazy life we all have! It was relaxing! When we got back, so many people asked what we did...NOTHING! The kids swam, swam and swam some more!!!! Each night, we were all 4 in bed by 9pm. No joke! Here are some pictures from our great trip...if you haven't traveled to Aruba yet - go! It's a beautiful island!

one of our daily trips to Dunkin' Donuts!

Daddy's a star!

We were lucky enough to watch Matt (aka Daddy) play in a hockey game ON. THE. BRUINS. ICE!!!! So very cool for him...and Jack & Reagan! Before the game, they had a family skate...so we all got to enjoy the ice time too! Check us out!

Love

We are so proud...

Miss Reagan won the Student of the Month award at school...the theme for this month was LOVE! I would say it's very true...this girl has a lot of love to share!!!!

You must wonder...

What in the world have the Waldners been doing ALL winter???? For my family, they already know! ha! It's a HOCKEY world here at the Waldners! 3 out of 4 family members play...which means that is all we do all winter long. Phew!

We were able to sneak in 1 trip up north to go skiing over Christmas. woohoo! Here are some pictures from our trip to Stowe, VT over Christmas. Luckily, it snowed up there so the kids could experience a white Christmas. We had a blast...

We don't have many pictures of our hockey season...but believe me, we've spent each Saturday and Sunday at the rink since the end of September. The kids love it - so I can't complain! :)

A couple weekends ago, Miss Hadley made her first trip to see us in Boston. (oh and Aunt Sara and Uncle David came too!) We had such a good time with them...a mix of relaxation, hockey, and walks around town. We miss them already...here are some pictures from their visit!

Tis' the Season!!

We are SO excited it's Christmas...Fred has arrived (our own personal elf), the trees are up (not decorated - ugh!) and we just had our town's Christmas in the Square. Santa came in on a firetruck and the entire town shows up to see him. It's CRAZY but so fun. Since we live right in town, we decided to have a party this year. Let's just say 25 kids and 18 adults makes for a WILD party in our little old house. Thank goodness for "warmer" weather for this time of year, because a bounce house and street hockey saved the night! I'm STILL cleaning up but it was totally worth it. Such a fun way to kick off the holiday season. Wish I had pictures...




Since our last post, we've done some traveling and having fun. So I DO have pictures from our trip to Indiana for Halloween. Here they are:

It's Fall...

Hello blog readers, I feel like I've been letting you all down lately. Blogging has not been on my to-do list lately and as I checked our blog this morning, I realized that August 7th was my last blog post. oops!!!! So much has happened since we "visited" our little Sammie. Now she's here and it's PUPPY time! For those of you who've had dogs, have a puppy now, etc. - can you remember back to the puppy stage??? Hmmmmm, it's F.U.N.!!! ha! The kids are so psyched that Sammie's favorite activities are jumping on them, chewing their toys, chewing THEM and just being a total pest. It's a stage and we will get through it but jeesh, it's not fun!
We are in full force with school as well...Jack is in first grade and Reagan is my big Kindergartener. They both are loving it - I'm not so sure that I am. Sammie and I spend lots of quality time together each day...ha! The house is so quiet with them at school all day...but Sammie keeps me busy with walks, etc. so thank goodness for our little pup.


Jack's hockey season has started...he's loving it and loves his team. Go Red! Reagan is in soccer and also has started hockey (yes, I know - you are probably wondering why Reags wants to do hockey??), she loves both sports. It's going to be a fun winter in the rink!


Hope everyone has a wonderful fall! It's my favorite time of the year...cheers!

Saying "goodbye" to summer

Just wanting to remember the summer "blonde" hair! sigh...



Can you see the excitement in his face? Ready for first grade!
