Regan’s 5th Birthday Party

He wanted a Halloween theme for his party this year. I was pretty excited because the house was already half decorated, and it was a nice excuse to buy more Halloween decorations. I have Hotel Transylvania on during the party. And party guest were encouraged to dress up.

IMG_0296 IMG_0313Regan had a meltdown whe he lost at musical squares. Because in his world the point of playing is to win. And loosing sucks. Getting him to be a good sport when he doesn't win has been a work in progress for years. Years. To be fair he is getting better about.

My two OB's were there and made me go to labor and delivery. Guess I was looking pretty rough. Jake was hopping Regan would be born on his birthday, but no such luck. He made his grand entrance into the world a few days later.

Phoenix Temple open house

We had the amazing opportunity to walk through the Phoenix Temple before it was dedicated for use. Family and friends joined us. It was such a lovely Saturday.

His happy place is anywhere she is. He is ALWAYS the first to rush to my aid when I need a second set of hands with her. He insists on feeding her whenever he is home. He refuses to acknowledge that we do not get to keep her forever…. It breaks my heart knowing that his heart is going to be so broken when she goes…. The reality of our situation is harder that I thought it would be.
