Catching Up!

Mom has been hogging the computer lately, so WE haven't gotten a chance to update everyone lately!

Yep, this is the best mom can do at getting a picture of us together. It's a conspiracy we have against her!! She keeps trying though... gotta love that determination! We really gave her a headache when she was trying to get a picture of us together in our Halloween costumes... she said something about not sending out any cute Halloween cards this year, so sorry about that!

PS - Jax says he isn't going to be a fireman. And he hates mice. Or maybe he was scared of my driving.  Who knows!! :)

We'll be updating soon after Halloween is over... we're still deciding if we're gonna let mommy take a good picture of us or not. She says we need to practice because this weekend we are going to see our cousins JT and Levi and their mommy (our mommy's cousin) is going to take pictures of us! Mommy bought me a pretty new dress to match Jax's shirt and vest. She's really excited and so am I - my dress has "beautiful sprinkles" on it!

love,

Ballet & Tumbling

So... I started my "nastics" class today! Mommy says it called "ballet" and "tumbling" but I think I'm pretty much like Dora already! =)

Mommy says she wasn't too sure how I would do with some lady I don't know bossing me around, but I listened pretty good, if I do say so myself.

There are three other girls plus me in ballet. My friend Chloe from daycare is in tumbling with all of us after ballet is over! I was a little distracted by having Chloe there since we are already great friends!

Today we learned how to stretch our legs and ankles and arms. We learned "first position" in ballet and how to do a front roll in tumbling. I told mommy I really like it and want to keep going back to class! Daddy didn't get to watch very much because Jaxson kept trying to run onto the mat, so Daddy had to keep taking him outside!

The best part was Miss Brenda gave me a purple popsicle after class! She said we get candy every week if we're good so I plan on being on my very best behavior!

December 9th

That's pronounced "mymfth" btw. And in case you're behind on the times, that's my birthday! Here's a little look at my actual birthday and when I turned one and two. (I love cake. If you want to bring me cake, you don't have to wait til my birthday! Just sayin'.)

Right now, I'm super concerned with my birthday because I just learned what day is it on (even though mommy keeps saying December ninth is a loooong time from now) AND because I learned a cool trick - sometimes, if I say I want something, daddy or mommy get it for me! Mostly I want strawberry water or popsicles. BUT for my birthday, I've already put in a special request for a Dora and Diego cake. I also want a platypus. I told daddy I want a sister, too, but that doesn't have to be for my birthday, and daddy says "I think you and your brother are enough!" I don't know why he says that, because I think it would be pretty cool if there were more of me! 

But I'm getting off the topic of what I really wanted to talk about. This post really isn't about my birthday. I had to tell you about how my birthday is coming up so I could tell you about Dora and Diego. Mommy says I'm "obsessed" and "need rehab" (whatever that is) - I think it means I like to watch it. A lot. Sometimes I like to watch the same Dora over and over and over. But I think it's okay because Dora teaches me to talk in Spanish! I can say "open" in Spanish and I can count (not really in order, but hey, I'm only two!). When mommy and I go to my favorite place (Wal-Mart) I tell her which "path" to go down, just like the map tells Dora! 

I'll also let you in on a little secret - I'm going to start taking "nastic gymnastics" and ballet classes and mommy just ordered me a tutu. It's PINK! I will definitely be posting soon about how that goes! Dora does gymnastics, so I'm pretty sure I've already learned a lot by watching her on my little movies. 

Bye for now! 

love - Raegan

Walking

Mommy and Daddy are freaking out because I am apparently doing this thing called "walking." It's obviously a big deal, because I'm a lot older than my sister was when SHE started walking. Anyway, I decided I kinda like walking, because I can put my arms out and make weird noises. Mommy calls me "Frank" but I don't know what that means. Here I am, ready to go! 

That's my super cool toy in the background there. I have lots of cars to drive on it and I make an awesome sound like "vrrrmmm" to go along with it. I learned the hard way that you shouldn't pull yourself up on that thing, it fell on my face.

Mommy says that I have to share and let Raegan have a turn on this "blog thing," so I guess she will be here next time. If she says anything bad about me, don't believe it. I'm an angel!
