 Tried to send Quinn to Lake Placid with Dad. 


 While Dad was gone I woke up to this each morning. 

 Working on her BFF book. 

 She got a horse for her AG doll. 


 Oh dear.


Swim Lessons

I had always heard great things about Houston Swim Club so when they started building one out by us we knew we wanted to sign them up with they opened. We were able to get into the 2nd session once they opened which worked out perfectly with school ending.

So what we expected: We thought Reagan would be problematic in putting her ears in the water and that Abby wouldn't have an issue with anything. These were based on how Abby on the other hand screamed though the entire first week of lessons. After that I promised her a penny if she didn't cry at lessons and by the end of the week she had 5 of them and had completely turned things around.

Both girls graduated from their class and will be moving up to the next class as we have signed them up for another round of 2 week lessons in August.

Quinn - 3 months

I forgot how quickly time passes and babies change. 3 months crept up on us pretty quickly.

- Quinn is about 12 lbs.
- She smiles so easily and has learned to flirt.
- We've moved into 0-3 month clothes.
-  She has started sleeping through the night for the most part. We still have a few nights where she wakes up but sometimes I can just bring her to bed and she'll go back to sleep.
- She has really started babbling. It's fun to have "conversations" with her.









Reagan's last day of Kindergarten

What a year this has been. Kindergarten sure has changed since I was a kid. The amount that these kids learn baffled me. Reagan got on the bus each morning at 8:20am and didn't get off the busy until 4:20pm. She had homework, learned to read, did math and science experiments, etc. It was quite the year!

First Day of school:



Last Day of school:



Reagan also had an awards ceremony on the last day of school where she was awarded with an Achievement in Reading.

Abby's Last Day of PK3

Abby finished school 3 days before Reagan did. It was bittersweet as she is really excited about being in the PK4 class next year however she is going to miss her teachers terribly. Luckily most of her friends will be in her class again next year though she is certainly missing them over the summer.

I can't get over how much she has learned and physically grown this year.

Beginning of the year:



End of the year:


Peamapalooza

Reagan had a program at school called Peamapalooza. We really had no clue what to expect. Reagan would talk about it a bit and honestly it was all confusing. My clues to what this was about were as follows:

- They were going to dance to Ghostbusters with proton packs.
- They had to wear a neon shirt, black capris & tennis shoes
- They were going to dance to the "Call Me Baby" & "Hey Pretty Lady" songs.
- She would also bust into dance moves places that were obviously choreographed.

We got to the Berry Center where it was taking place as it was a school wide event and it was controlled chaos. As it was rather dark in there and we had to sit pretty high up the pics aren't all that great. Somehow we were able to find Reagan at all times though. The entire program was really cute and a lot more entertaining then we expected!

 The whole school

 Here comes Kindergarten. 






At the end a lot of the lights were out/low as the whole school danced to a montage of songs. I wish I could have taken a video as it was so cute. It ranged from Call Me Maybe to Gangham Style and the kids all kept breaking out in the Harlem Shake throughout.
