Regan Had a Birthday

Our baby, Regan Kylie, turned 5 on October 25th.
It's still hard for me to believe that 5 years have gone by since she was born.
Regan has never had a party with friends, so this year was definitely her year to have one. The day before her birthday, she had 9 of her closest friends at a party at Build A Bear Workshop. The girls had such a good time. I don't think they stopped smiling the whole time they were there. It was so cute. These are the girls that were in her playgroup and church. Her cousin Ruby made it as well. Look at all these cute girls! The next day was her actual birthday. It landed on a Sunday this year. It just so happened to be the Primary Program that day too. The girls did such a good job on their parts. Later, we had a birthday dinner. Grandma and Grandpa Danielson were able to join us.
Regan decided she wanted a princess party. She made EVERYONE wear tiaras.
Even Grandma and Grandpa! They were such good sports.
We are so grateful to have Regan in our home. She is such a smart and sweet girl and very easy going. We love her singing and dancing all around the house. She's even known to dance to all the primary songs in singing time every Sunday. She has been pure joy to all of us.
On a side note....the kids got their grades last week. They all did well. But Brennan had grades all in the 90s. I would say he got all As, but one of his grades was a 90. Here, a 90 is a B. I think it's crazy. So in my mind, he did get all As. We're so proud of him getting on the Honor Roll. He worked so hard. We knew he had it in him!

Fall Break

The kids had Fall break last Monday and Tuesday. We had some fun together. The weather was cold and rainy, but we managed to have fun anyway. On Monday I took the kids to Incredible Pizza. Here they are being goofy.
Tuesday we met Jeff for lunch and then came home to make caramel apples. I learned, I have no clue how to make caramel apples. I blame my sister in law Laurie for moving before teaching me! ha ha Here's Brennan with his. OH....and Brennan got contacts. Can you tell? :)
Brookie making her apple.
Here's the end result. They were so big, we all got very sick from eating them. Didn't even finish half of them and we were still sick. And the kids enjoying the hard work. The fall break wasn't long enough, but we enjoyed the time we had.

Soccer Fundraiser Lawn Fun

I am completely overhwhelmed with how far behind I am on here. My sweet Grandma keeps getting on me for not blogging. So I decided...don't try catching up all at once. Start from now. If I can catch up later I will. So, here it is Grandma. I love you and I'm glad you motivated me to get back on here. Thanks for reading it!

The elementary school had their annual fundraiser of having the kids walk around in circles and do an occasional dance. I don't get it personally. But, the kids have fun. I had fun watching. Jadyn's class were Busy Bees. Look how cute that face is. Brooke's class was Carpenter's Court. They had king and queen cloaks on. Super cute. Here's Regan, Brooke and me. Here's Brookie with her queen outfit and Regan's cute little smirk.
Brandon Smith in our ward put together a soccer team for the interfaith soccer league. It's a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds from both of the Collierville wards who play against other churches in the area. Regan isn't very aggressive, but she LOVES it.
The team isn't doing very well so far..but they sure are cute. That counts for something, doesn't it? Here's Regan with Cara Rees and Addisyn Stubbs. As you can see, Regan is a little short of stature compared to the other girls.
Look at Reggie's cute little face. Aww. Who cares if she hasn't scored a single goal!
Jadyn had fun posing for me when we were outside enjoying the gorgeous weather. Here's my beautiful 8 year old.
And another.
And another. That's all for now. Maybe I'll catch up on the summer later. We'll see! :)
