Thanksgiving weekend 2011

A few days before Thanksgiving Jack’ee came over and helped me de-nastify the kitchen cupboards. She’s awesome like that.

ewwww…….

Found some new shelf paper that I love at the Dollar Tree (LOVE that place). It’s a fun splash of color in an expected place.

Papa and Yaiyai drove down for the weekend and Regan claimed Papa’s hat as soon as he arrived. It was nice having them here for our first AZ holiday.

Jon and I took advantage of my parents being here for some babysitting so we could hit up Ikea. (First time for both of us.) I can’t wait to go back. I loved it. Jon found a perfect Kaylee desk. She was SO excited when she saw it.

Thanksgiving day we headed to Jack’ee and Jason’s house to eat. They made an AMAZING meal.
Regan received his b-day gift. Jack’ee asked me what to get him. So I requested she get him his first train set (Ika) and he has played with it every day since.

Jack’ee got him extra cars to go with the starter set, and we are going to buy him more tracks as he gets older. Or you know the next time we got to Ikea.

They boys had fun playing trains after dinner.

The day after is our usual tree trimming day. I didn’t get around to it until after my parents left a few day later. Kaylee helped as per usual. She decided that the flowers looked better in my hair.


After we finished the tree we made our first AZ fort. (Rug from Ikea.) It was a lovely first holiday in our new home.

Party for Regan

Leave a reply

So the sunday after Regab turned two we had The Day’s over and and a small party for Regan. I made him one of his favorite meals (curry and quinoa). And got him a gluten free brownie mix that I made egg and dairy free for him to have with his coconut milk ice cream.

We of course had a piñata and some awesome dancing. It was a fun little party with the cousins. Here are some of the many photos I took of the event.

Olé! Thats what I think of whenever Regan strikes his “cheese” pose.

So ready to eat his “special” brownies. Jon said I really shouldn’t call them that. It just kept coming out of my mouth in reference to his allergy friendly brownies. They were quite good. We have since bought more for him/us.

The lit candle freaked him out.

He wouldn’t blow it out.

So I helped him.

He was grateful.

And didn’t hesitate to dig in!

Not Jon’s best cupcakes. He blamed the move and not having all his stuff out of boxes yet. The children liked them though.

Happy birthday boy.

Olé!!!

We hadn’t put up curtains yet. So Jon used a curtain rod to hoist the piñata for the children.

It’s his party. Pants were optional.

Cassie wanted a turn BAD!

The children were instructed to give Regan ALL the Dum Dums. He was thrilled with all his pops.

Jon opened his gifts for him as he was too into a pop to really care about gift opening.

He got some fun stuff and has since enjoyed all gifts. You know after the sucker was gone.

And then they danced. It was quite the 2 year old bash.

Regan James 2 years old and a WCC

My baby is 2!!! Crazy super fast how that happened. His birthday this year landed on a Tuesday in the middle of new house reno. So I snapped my traditional B-day shoot and headed out to paint. We had a little party for him that weekend. But here is what he looked like the day he turned 2.

Photos taken 11/16/2011 on the Day family couch.

Aunt Shannon was trying to get him to do his fingers and say “I’m two.” We are still working on that.

Today at his WCC:
Height: 26.9 inches
Weight: 24.6 lbs

Poor kiddo got shots today at the new Dr.’s office. He was not pleased. Other than the shots and being an EXTRA long visit going over his medical history (think I scared his new Dr. a little… poor guy.), his 2 year well child check went great. He is still gaining weight and height, and is right on track with his fine/gross motor skills and his expressive/receptive language skills.

Dr. M is going to give us a referral for a new pediatric G.I. Dr. for Regan as he doesn’t feel comfortable treating something he has never even heard of (Really not surprised. Who on earth aside from G.I. Dr.s knows what CLN is?). I was happy with his game plan as I was hoping for a referral anyway.

So we have a primary care Dr. (Who I so far like. Easy to talk to and thorough with his exam and questions, and happy to answer all of mine.) and are going to have a new G.I. Dr. soon. So I just need to pin down a dentist for the kiddos.

I hate finding new Dr.s.

Party photos coming soon. I am a bit behind in blogging our recent activities. Moving/house reno sure messed up my routine.
