Happy Halloween!!!

My girl and me!

Finally, here is a picture of me with Reagan, thanks to Christy. I have no pictures of me with Reagan except what was taken in the hospital. I also don't have any of me with Mason recently. Reagan is growing so fast. I am sad knowing she will be our last one. Or the last one we planned at least! I want to keep her a baby forever. Time goes way too fast. Mason is proof. He will be three next month! We are not having a party for him, just a small get together with us as a family of 4. Our house is way too small to handle a lot of people, and Mason does not like crowds.

I mentioned to Kevin that we should take the kids to Branson so they could enjoy a couple of shows. Mason loves music so much and I think he would really enjoy the shows. Reagan seems to like music too.

Trailer Move In Day!

Today Kevin and I were able to start moving some stuff into his new office trailer. Here are some pictures:


The trailer and new steps!

Reagan at 3 months old!

Here is Reagan on Thursday. She is 3 months old now. She discovered her feet last week. She is now kicking at everything! She even tried laughing at me yesterday! I am so proud of her and how she is developing!

Here is Grandpa and his girl. I am so glad that Dad seems to adore Reagan as much as I do.


Grandma and Mason - Mason is Mom's "special boy". She is so fond of him. They had a great time at Red Lobster on Saturday drinking their tea and chocolate milk.

I am not a coffee drinker. However, once in a great while, I like coffee that has chocolate creamer in it, etc. I went through McDonald's yesterday and decided to try a Mocha. OMG! I found another favorite drink!! I could drink this stuff all the time. Although I noticed that it makes me more high strung than normal! HAHA! I will definately have to remember to get one Friday morning after Thanksgiving when we I go shopping for Christmas!

Harvest Time = Potty time!

Kevin and Mason spent this afternoon combining beans. Kevin was in one combine with Mason, Donna was in the other, Glenn was hauling beans to the elevator. Reagan and I just chilled out here at home. We also went into town and picked up pizza for supper for everyone too.

Mason is spending tonight with Grandma and Grandpa. Today was a great potty training day. He stayed dry all day and went to the bathroom every time we asked. Hopefully tomorrow, since he doesn't have speech therapy, we will put him in big boy underwear and see where that takes us.

Reagan was a joy to be with today. Just me and her. It was nice to spend time alone with her and concentrate on her needs. She is so precious!

Yesterday was my first day of work. I really think I am going to like it a lot. I got so much done already in the time I was there. I am excited to share all my ideas with Theresea. I was excited to get home to the kids though! I missed them in the several hours I was gone! I was able to have lunch alone with my Dad. It was nice not having to worry about keeping Mason in the booth next to me. I was able to relax and chill out for awhile and have a conversation with my father!

Little Drummer Boy!

Mason had a blast at the barbeque on Sunday to celebrate Matt's cancer free diagnosis. He LOVED Chuck's drums and all the other instruments that was there. Kevin and I believe he will need a drum set for Christmas! No matter how loud it maybe, we want to encourage him to play music! I am so pleased that he loves music so much, since the talent obviously skipped our generation!

I start part time work tomorrow (one day a week) as a QMRP (Qualified Mental Retardation Specialist) at a group home in Pilot Grove. It is 33 hours a month. I still get to be home with the kids but get out of the house once in awhile. I will be ensuring all paperwork is up to date, the clients needs are being met, the house is safe for them, and providing some training for the staff. I am looking forward to it.

I am sure the little money will help out also for Christmas! I am so excited about shopping for the kids this year! April and I plan on being some of the crazies out there the day after Thanksgiving before the crack of dawn! I always love the holiday "rush". This year is especially special since we now have Reagan!

Speaking of Reagan, she will be three months old on Thursday! Where does the time go? She is growing so fast...and eating so much!!!!!

Kevin will be busy next week smoking pork and beef for a wedding that has an attendance of 500 people. He is a little overwhelmed at the thought, but is looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Kevin and I painted the inside of his office trailer this weekend. Linolium will be laid this Wednesday and we hope to start moving stuff in it this weekend or sometime next week! I am excited so I can start working on Reagans room!

I have also been working on scanning pictures of Mom and Dad's into the computer and saving them to disc. I have from 1971 (the year they were married) up to 1980 already done, with so much more to go! I am having a great time doing it though and have such good memories of the pictures when I go through them!

November Election

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting excited about the November election? I was very apprehensive in the beginning because I wasn't thrilled with either candidate. However, being a conservative, I have really grown to respect and like McCain and I LOVE Sarah Palin! I really think that together they could make a great President and Vice President! Even if Obama gets elected, it will be a history making election. We will either have the first African American President or the first woman Vice President.....EXCITING stuff!!
