Sping Festival

Leave a reply
Shannon got us tickets to the schools spring festival on Saturday. I was SO excited to see how Kaylee would do with the animals (since she’s afraid that they will eat her…). She was VERY excited about idea of a pony ride.



Regan wasn’t too thrilled when I let go to snap a quick photo.


Kaylee had mixed emotions about the ride, but did so much better than we had hoped for!

When they stopped I tried to get another one of Regan but he was DONE. He did enjoy it while I had a hand on him said, “yeehaw”.

Kaylee was SO excited about going into the pen for the petting zoo.

Until she was IN the pen.

One of the workers helped Regan navigate over to Jon and Kaylee after he was separated from them. I love his shirt. Makes me laugh.



We’ve been trying to gently help her get over her animal fears. She really has come a long way.

She said the goat was soft and nice. And was not upset that Daddy “helped” her pet an animal. She again surprised us with how well she did.



Aunt Shannon asking Kaylee which side she wanted her face paint done on.


Regan had not a clue what was going on. So I helped hold his head still.

I think he liked his UFO.

Our next big animal adventure will be the Zoo. Kaylee really wants to see the elephants, and ride the train.

Men’s Warehouse

We met Jack’ee and Jason at Men’s Warehouse so the boys could get measured for tuxes. We decided to just buy a tux for Regan as that is SO much cheaper than renting. The children had fun running around. And Kaylee’s flower girl dress has arrived. I am so excited to see the children all dressed up. And of course for the wedding itself.


Regan has been insisting on wearing his superhero handkerchief EVERYWHERE. I love it. Except Sunday’s. He gets bummed out that I don’t let him go to church with it on. I also love him coming up to us with it and saying, “I FLY!”

Aunt Jack’ee came to her rescue after I hurt her feeling by asking her to behave. She sometime thinks I am SUCH a mean Mama. You can see Jack’ee is giggling at Kaylee’s reaction to my scolding.


Super Regan was being SUPER helpful.





She was pleased that Jack’ee let her play with her “Rapunzel hair”.

In the Garden

Saturday the 18th we went on our first “adventure” as Kaylee would call it. And it was so fun. Shannon scored some passes from her library and we took the boys and Kaylee to the Desert Botanical garden. I was amazed at how neat it was. We learned lots. And Kaylee is still telling me what she learned. I was surprised at how few pictures I took. I guess I was too busy reading about and looking at all the cacti.




We saw some fun critters.


They had a stand set up for self photos. It took me a bit, but I figured out how to set the timer on my camera. (I really should read the manual….)


We left before Regan’s nap time, so he stroller napped in this funky position. Got lots of comments from passerby’s. Oh and he’s been obsessed with this handkerchief. Brings it to me daily and says, “I fly!” Arms out stretched like superman and all. I need to whip him up a real cape. He is TOO cute!

We told Kaylee we were going to look at the butterfly garden. On our way we stopped so Shannon could gather/read info she needed to finish her homework. Kaylee got board and said since we would never find the butterfly’s she was going to build a castle.

We found the butterfly’s. She was thrilled.
