Hip Hip Hooray...

it was Reagan's 4th Birthday!!!! Yes, it's been awhile since I've posted a blog but jeez, we have been busy!!!! First and foremost, I want to say Happy Birthday to our sweet little girl...Miss Reagan turned 4 years old on May 24th and we couldn't be prouder! She had quite the birthday weekend...Nana & Papa Waldner and Grammy & Gramps Lehman flew out from Indiana to celebrate Reagan's big day and also to enjoy all our activities that we had planned. Reagan had a fabulous Hello Kitty party filled with gymnastics fun...many of her girlfriends were in attendance to celebrate her birthday. Check out some of the pictures...

Let's Play Ball...

Jack had his first Tee-Ball game yesterday...yes, on Mother's Day! What a fun treat...to see him SO excited for this game!!! Here are some pictures from the game...Go "Dentistry for Children" - ha! That's their sponsor - guess they haven't named the team yet.

"Hey, Batta' Batta'" (how they REALLY say it here in Boston! ha!)

*This is a belated post...

A few weeks ago, Jack was in a rodeo...no, not a real one (but he thought it was!) - just a Rodeo show at his preschool. He practiced for an entire month before the actual show - so we got to hear the songs alot. This is a BIG deal for his class and as you can see in the pictures and video - they take it seriously and LOVE to perform their rodeo for parents, grandparents, friends and siblings. Matt took an afternoon off so he could be there to see Jack in all his glory...a true cowpoke! We dusted of our cowboy hat, boots & vest...








Here are some pictures of our little cowpoke at his big Rodeo...

PB & J + Jack = NO MORE ALLERGIES!!!

Our sweet little guy can now eat peanuts, peanut butter and REESE's Peanut Butter Cups!!!! Oh yes - I think I'm most excited about the 3rd item - how can you NOT love peanut butter and chocolate together????

Today, Jack took his third and final test for his peanut allergy - the oral challenge. It's a controlled test done in the allergist's office - every fifteen minutes, he's fed peanut butter. They take his vitals and check for hives for an hour...and he passed!!! So with his blood work and skin test all negative, this was the final step to being peanut allergy free! YEA! We still have to watch out for those pesky walnuts (he's still allergic) and so I still have to carry an epi-pen with me but this big step is so exciting for us.

Of course, I took him to our little general store for a "candy" treat after the doctor's appointment...thinking he could pick out a Snickers, Peanut M&M's or a Reese's Cup - Nope, he chose Skittles! ha! Guess I was more excited about this than he was...aw well, now we can add peanut butter to our shopping list! Go Jack!

Just some pictures...

We've been busy taking pics of the kids...and so I thought I would share them with you! The weather has been warm & sunny - we are LOVING it! The kids are having fun riding bikes, "chalking" the sidewalks, playing at the beach and sliding down big slides at the playground! Life is good...

Okay, so if you follow my blog (and if you are reading this, I would assume you do follow it!) - you might also go to my sister's blog (labeled "Sara & David" on my blog list)...and if you do all of the above, you'll find that she is Miss Green-pants these days! I just HAD to post this picture of my lil' herb garden just to show off my green thumb! ha! She's totally got it going on...composting, growing her garden this spring, recycling, etc! BUT...since our counter/window space is limited in this apartment, I've had to get creative on what I can grow this spring. So herbs it is! Welcome to our kitchen, Parsley, Basil and Cilantro! I hope you make our food super yummy!!! :)

So it's on, little sis...it's on! :)

Great book!

Adding another book to my list for this year...and it was a great one! Quick & easy read - but very interesting! I just finished the girl who stopped swimming by Joshilyn Jackson. I recommend it - a good spring break book! :) Hmmm, wish I was going on Spring Break! ha!
