Reygann's Birthday

Just a few random pictures from Reygann's birthday...
What a mess!

Showing off her jammies and Elmo slippers

Kitchen Toy

I have been wanting to get the girls a kitchen toy, but they are so expensive.. I have been looking for almost a year now with no luck. I mentioned to Deric that I wanted to get one for Reyganns birthday and he told me that his boss told him a couple days ago that he had a kitchen and asked if he wanted it... and Deric told him no! I was so excited and told him to tell his boss he changed his mind before his boss gave it to someone else... so Deric picked it up and it was a hit! The girls played with it all evening making us dinner and cake and such... now I just need to get more food and pots and pans... it's a good think Kylie's birthday is coming up!

Uh-Oh Bumbo

So my little stinker man is trying to break out of the bumbo chair... I had him in the bumbo on the couch while I was folding the laundry and he kept straightening his body and pushing back, and he can almost pop himself out of the chair! He hasn't gotten out yet, but he is so close... so now I don't want to leave him in the chair unless I am right there to catch him if he finally manages to launch himself out of it! So is it just deceiving that he is going to pop out but there is really no way that he can.. or is he just a stinker that refuses to be confined by a chair?

I think this face is just too funny!!

Reygann's Party

Happy Birthday Reygann!!

Looking out the window waiting for the party to start.

(She's exercising)

She put her shoes on all by herself! (They are on the wrong feet!)

We had a Elmo themed party, Elmo was everywhere. I made her an Elmo cake and when my mom saw it she asked me if it would be enough for everyone... I didn't even think about that! So I whipped out some Elmo cupcakes a few hours before the party. Shew! They didn't turn out too bad...

It was pretty cute, soon as she blew out the candles she said "Now we eat cake!!" That girl knows how it goes! I'm two!
Yummy cake!!

I figured with all the kids around it might be a good idea to have something for them to do... I packed up all our Elmo toys, books, and puzzles to keep with our theme. I made a 'tape the nose on Elmo' game for the kids too. Everyone did a good job... Reygann was the cutest though... we put the blindfold on her and told her to not look and to put the nose on, and she did... on herself! That got a big laugh, and Harrison thought he would give it a try too!

It's a 'murphy'!! Reygann ALWAYS wants Kylie's murphy blanket and now she has her own! (Kylie's murphy blanket is a blanket Great Gramma Murphy made for her last Christmas ('05) I guess she calls it a murphy because that is how she knew how to describe it back then and the name just stuck.)

Reygann, her murphy, and Great Gramma Murphy

I would have to say that the most memorable part of the party (for me) had nothing to do with the birthday girl... it was when Kylie threw up on me! She went and sat in Papoo's lap and said she didn't feel so good (and she didn't look it either) so he called me over and said that she wasn't feeling so good so I picked her up and took her to the bathroom. Harrison almost got a lap full because he was going to the bathroom (he left the door open, I didn't barge in on him!) So I swung around to the sink and she started to puke, it was all over my neck down the front and back of me, it was quite gross! I was picking/rinsing food chunks for some time, I even had to wash out my earings because there was pieces stuck in them! About 5 minutes later she was fine again running around and playing, I am pretty sure she was spinning around or something like that, and that is why she got sick, lets hope it was that and not the food!!

Getting back to 'normal'

Hopefully things will start to calm down over here... My birthday is over and Reygann's birthday is almost over... so hopefully I will be less busy in the days to come. Last night we had Reygann's birthday party at my parents house (we don't have enough room here) It was a fun time, Reygann was so sweet. I hope to post pictures later tonight... (the Superbowl is on... I'll need something to do!!) Deric and Billy worked on the house again yesterday... no pictures though... It was 9 degrees out -18 with wind chill, burrr... I wasn't about to go out if I didn't have to! They didn't work too long Billy was the only other guy that showed up so there wasn't much for the 2 of them to do in the freezing cold that wouldn't be easier to do with 5 guys so they built the front and back walls and removed some of our existing siding and got things ready for next weekend.

WOW!

Apparently my IQ is 132 and yet I still can't get the link to show up! Some good the 132 does me!! I don't care what Erin says... I'll take the 132!!



Hey, I DID figure it out!!
