First Day of 1st Grade!

Reagan started 1st grade today, at St. Catherine of Siena! She was so excited and ready to go this morning. (I forgot to send her with her glasses!)

The Gang...Drew is crying because he doesn't want to leave!

Reagan wanted a big birthday party. Not just any party would do. Wayne and I offered to throw her party anywhere she wanted. She insisted on a "home" party. Our home is in the middle of being renovated, but we decided to have the party here. We have come to realize that Reagan wants her birthday party to be an event like Thanksgiving and Christmas. (Which I think is kind of sweet and very characteristic of Reagan!) So we had a lot of work to do to get this house in order for a party. Then to add to our To Do List, Wayne broke the window in the living room next to the fire place, last weekend. It is a huge window that goes from the first floor to the second floor!!! The glass was such a mess. We had to pull up the carpet. (So thank goodness my sister is friends with Stuart and he owns Carpet World so we were able to get new carpet installed in just 3 days!!!)

The party was so much fun! We had a house full of family and friends. We had a Scooby Doo Bouncer and my parents made cotton candy. Wayne grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. I am so glad that Reagan chose to have her party here because we were able to hang out with everyone. I was actually sad that it was over last night because we had such a good time! It is times like this when I am so glad to be back from Georgia and close to all my friends and family again. (It also made me miss Elaine, Jenny, and Jamie very much. I wish you all could have been here!) Next year we will have even more fun because 3 of Wayne's cousins are pregnant!

REAGAN'S BIRTHDAY

Thanks to Aunt Mel for riding with the kids. I almost threw up on them last time!

Having Fun!

Reagan & Drew

Callie

Charley & Tatum

We celebrated Reagan's 7th Birthday yesterday. We always open some presents in the morning. We save some for later so that it's not over at once! Aunt Bridget and Aunt Melody met us with Charley and Drew. We went to City Park to ride the rides. Jamie and Callie met us too! (It worked out great that they were in town and able to come hangout with us!!!) The kids were able to ride a few rides before an afternoon storm came and messed up our good time. Then we all went and had lunch together. It was lots of fun and Reagan had a great time! Later we went to dinner and Reagan opened presents. It was a wonderful day.

Reagan's Doctor Appointment

I just wanted to let you all know that Reagan went to see the Gastroenterologist at Children's Hospital on Thursday. The doctor did an x-ray and found that Reagan's rectum is the size of a large adults. So we now know what the problem is! We have lots of new medicines to help Reagan go potty more often and hopefully we can get her going ever couple of days and then over a period of time we can get her rectum to shrink to a more normal size for her age. We are very happy to finally have an answer and a solution to fix it that does not involve surgery! The funny thing about all of this is that Reagan's pediatrician told us all of this when Reagan was about 2 or 3 but she thought we needed to check with specialist to be sure. And then the bladder problems started (Because of her rectum adding pressure to it) so we kept going to specialist. Now we have an answer that we have had all along! But hopefully with the proper meds we can help her. We go back to the doctor in 3 months and we are going to be very aggressive about this!

At The Weaver's

Fun, Fun, Fun!

We have to keep our eyes on these two!

Reagan & Drew were performing...notice the hair brush for a microphone!

What a Crew!!!

Yesterday, we went to the Weaver's to celebrate Wayne's Birthday. Lordy, Lordy Wayne is almost 40!!! It was lots of fun. Andy, Jeanette, & Patrick were there. Alisa & Chris were there too. Andy boiled shrimp and they were the best I have ever had! The kids had fun in the pool and playing together. They were very entertaining...as you can see in the video!!! Reagan and Drew are quite the Dynamic Duo. I can watch them perform for hours...they crack me up! We always have such a good time at The Weaver's.

Celebrating Lori's Birthday

Happy Birthday WuWu! On Sunday, we celebrated Lori's 31st Birthday! WuWu doesn't go crazy and celebrate her Birthday for a two weeks like she used to....I guess it is because she is getting older!!!!

Reagan's Bladder Test

Reagan went to Children's Hospital last week for her Bladder Function Test and kidney ultrasound. It was a long, stressful day. Reagan was so nervous but she was such a great patient. We found out that her bladder and kidneys are working perfectly!

Dance Recital

Ready to take the Stage!

Reagan

What A Ham!

Kevin Samrow's little girl Riley with Tatum

Reagan and Tatum had a wonderful Dance Recital. They were beautiful ballerinas on stage! Tatum did so well on stage for her 1st recital. She loved it! Reagan wishes it would have lasted longer. She had so much fun dancing with her friends.
