We have had a really fun summer so far. We have gone to the cabin in Pinetop a few times (Dallin more than Reagan and I) and love visiting Grandma and Grandpa Hatch. We love spending time with them and enjoying the nice weather. Dallin is busy working on our cabin and loves learning new skills and about the process of building. He is getting ready to frame soon and is so excited to see some upward progress!!!
Reagan is such a happy baby! She sleeps 12 hours at night and still takes 2 two to two and a half hour naps during the day. She loves when I work and she gets to hang out with her Grandma! I am second best when Grandma is around! Reagan has been such a good eater lately and LOVES her veggies, she has started liking fruit, but veggies are definitely her fav. just like her mama!

What do you get when you feed a tired baby sweet potatoes?????? An umpa lumpa look alike!!!! She sticks her fingers in her mouth a lot while she eats and she always rubs her eyes when she is tired, so if you mix the two this is what you get.......

***note to self if you bath a tired baby she will not be tired after wards because she had so much fun splashing and getting mom wet too!

Reagan LOVES her dad. I know all kids love their dads, but it still kills me that all Dallin has to do is walk in a room and she goes NUTS! she smiles from ear to ear and giggles like CRAZY!!! She thinks wrestling with him on the ground is the best thing ever! I love that while I am at work I know they are having so much fun without me! Every morning when Reagan wakes up she grabs my phone and we facetime with Dallin, it is by far the best part of our morning she laughs and waves and says "Hi Dad" the whole time!!!! yes she can say hi dad and dada is her favorite word ever!!! She only says mama when she cries so lets not talk about that!!

We had a great 4th of July! Kimberley and Dayne and Nixon and Jaxon were here for a visit and we had a great party! We had a BBQ and went swimming. The food was delicious and it is always fun to hang out with our family! Thanks for the cute outfit Grandma Karen!

While Kim and the boys were here we went to Ikea one day and had so much fun! Reagan is OBSESSED with tags and when I saw this snake with 4 tags on it I knew she had to have it! She was chewing on that thing the whole time we were there!!! It was definitely the best 50 cents I have ever spent!

We also went shopping a few other times while they were here, but these two loved Costco and Sam's Club the best because they got to sit next to each other in the same cart. Even though there is 3 months difference in their ages there is only 1 pound separating them (yes my daughter is a chunk!!!) We got stopped so many times with people asking if they were twins!!! It was pretty funny. Reagan thought it was hilarious to steal Jaxon's binky......
Jaxon didn't think it was too funny though!!!We loved having them here for two weeks! It was so fun to see Jaxon and Reagan crawling around together and having fun! We wished they lived here, but that just means we need to get to Utah more often to visit them! We miss them when they aren't here!


Last Friday all of the siblings on Dallin's side of the family that live here went with his parents to a Diamond backs game for his mom's birthday. We had so much fun and even though it was past her bedtime, Reagan was so good and had such a good time. She spotted several birds in the arena and loved to watch them fly around. Everyone took a turn holding her and getting kisses which she loves to give now! She sure loves her aunts and uncles! Happy Birthday Grandma Young!
And in other EXCITING news....... Reagan is going to be a BIG SISTER! We are so excited and can't wait to have another baby in our family! We feel so blessed and can't wait for February 8th 2012 to come! We find out in another month if it is a boy or girl and are excited for that too!
