Bits and Pieces

We recently went to the Jelly Belly Factory with Reagan's favorite person, Miss Adelaide. Reagan was not a nice person this day. She refused to ride in her stroller, insisting that she push it. This did not bode well for the rest of the people on the tour. We were basically in the way. Then she threw up on the front of her shirt and the carpet. Luckily, she had the binky in and it blocked the projectile property of the throw up. Despite the embarassment and messiness of the situation, we walked out of JB with bags of belly flops and the best chocolates ever from the candy kitchen.
I paid my first visit ever to the town of Berkeley last weekend. We stopped in at the Kite Festival and Reagan had a ball checking those huge things out. We didn't stay long and I was a horrible parent by not putting sunscreen on my child. Yes, I am an idiot. It was a chilly, windy day, and we weren't there for very long, so I guess I assumed there was no need to have her walk around with spiked hair.

This is Reagan 24 hours after her sunburn.

On Sunday morning, Reagan and I dressed alike for church. I know...CHEESY!!! But I had to do it. I have this photo of my mom and I, when I was about 4 years old, in matching green jumpsuits and it is a treasure to look at. You cannot tell in the photo I posted, but I am wearing a necklace that Matt's sister, Lindsay, made for me. It is a seashell from the Sea of Galilee and she made it into a necklace. I have worn it a few times now and it still receives compliments. Thank you, Lindsay!

A little bit if Everything

The last week has been a rough one, but I am really starting to feel up to par. Again, thanks to everyone who lent a helping hand one way or another. We love our friends and family! We feel so blessed. Here are some tidbits going on in our lives:

1. Mothers Day was good. Matt took Reagan to church for most of the time and I stayed home and rested. Reagan (aka Matt) got me two Martina McBride cd's and a beautiful card. She (he) didn't even need to get me flowers, thanks to some friends and family! :):) Also...Matt is taking me to see Martina in concert for my b-day in August! I am so excited! She puts on an excellent concert and I just love her music! I can't wait! The cd's are to get me prepped for it! :):)

1. This is Reagan's 'Path of Destruction.' She leaves it wherever she goes! She takes the shoes off our shoe rack and one-by-one tosses them to the floor. As you can see, she can't quite get a grip on the top row. But she did manage to move the rack some. She is getting strong!
I usually pick this book mess up, like, three times a day.
She thought is was so funny!
3. Here is Matt goofing off. I don't like to get all mushy, mushy on here, but I have to brag for a second. I am married to the greatest guy I could ask for. He really takes good care of me, our child, our home, and just about everything. This last week wasn't easy for me, but it was even harder on him...he was more emotionally and physically drained than he has been for a while, yet ne hever complained once about it! I'm not really surprised, since he rarely complains :) But I am grateful every day of my life for him and couldn't ask for a better companion! 4. In exactly two weeks, I will be pow-wowing with my BFF's in sunny San Diego! I cannot wait! (How many times can I use that phrase?) Lori, Jenn and I have been BFF's since freshman year in high school and we have had some of the raddest times ever. They came out to see us when Reagan was a month old and we haven't been together since. Now Jenn is getting married and we are together again! I love these girls! Here are a couple pics of us from our high school days...(thanks, Lori, for scanned photos!)

And here we are now. These were taken last July when we spent the day in San Francisco!5. How about them Jazz? Honestly, the Warriors-Jazz series could have gone either way and we would have been happy, since we enjoy both teams. But once a Jazz-fan, always will be one for Matt...he found himself rooting for them anyways! We thoroughly enjoyed the series, but my favorite part was watching the Warriors coach, Don Nelson. He looks like my dad! Only my dad has dark hair :)
6. This pic is in here for kicks!
7. Enjoying some watermelon.
8. Last, but not least, THE OFFICE season finale!!! My toast is no longer dry--I have enough jam to spread throughout the long summer! Is it September yet? Well, it was by far my favorite episode of the season. Oh, Jan *sigh* she really is a mess. Its funny to see how clearly sane Michael is when compared to her. And Dwight as RM? With Andy as his second? That was a riot! Karen was not so nice. I have never really disliked her, but this episode I did. And Jim asked Pam out on a date! Her last talking head when he asked her to dinner was awesome! She is such a good actress. But my favorite part was Ryan getting the job! The look he gave the camera was great.
