Busy time!

We have been very busy enjoying the wonderful weather of the last few weeks and the most excited part has been that we sold our house!! It has been very interesting time but lots going on so I thought I would share some pictures from the last few weeks... We are so excited about our new house! It has everything that we were looking for and it is perfect for our families lifestyle. It is a brand new house that will be completed the first of October which was perfect timing. Here are a few shot of the house.

Lucas Oil Stadium

We got to tour the new home of the Indianapolis Colts this last weekend. It was soooo cool!! Games are going to be so much fun here. We are checking out the opening game this Sunday as the Colts have there first pre-season game at home!

Play ball!

Over here at the Doll house we are a baseball family. Ok well maybe it is not a passion for everyone in the Doll house but it is sure a big part of our lives during the summer. Rob plays in an adult baseball league with his brother on Sunday afternoon. Us girls join him occassionally to watch the game but sometimes it is just too hot to be sitting out there. At their last game of the year we capture a few action shots of Rob and his brother batting and yes, that is Rob pitching.

Good bye Kyle

Well it is official, my little brother Kyle is off to Florida. He left last week and is very settled in his apartment. We really miss him but look forward to seeing him in Florida!

That's what friends are for

Reagan has been working on her walking but it was not until a play date last week with our good friend Caleb that she really took off. They were great to watch and the day went on they both starting taking more and more steps until they finally walked across the room! Most of the walking was due to them wanting something the other one wanted. Reagan and Caleb are great to watch together - they will be such great friends as they get older!

Here they were enjoying a water table at Caleb's birthday/eviction party (he is getting ready to be a big brother in September so he was getting kicked out of the nursery!)

Shopping adventure

We ran lots of errands on Monday and Reagan was getting a little bored so I have to get creative in getting us through the store...

Trader Joe's has little carts for kids that Reagan had a great time pushing around. Someone had to be with her at all times because she did not want to stop pushing and did not do a great job at directing. Everyone in the store thought she was so cute because the cart was so much bigger than her - they were stopping to talk to her and the employees were taking her picture.


By the time we made it to Costco we had pushed our luck a little too much - she was in need of a nap! So she took a ride in the back of the cart and decided she needed to take a seat on the waters.

Catch up!!

Well, since it has been a month since my last post I thought that it was a good time to catch everyone up on what has been going on at the Doll House.

We still have our house on the market and have had lots of showing but no bites yet. Hopefully, it does not take us much longer because it is not fun getting the house ready and getting Reagan and the dog out the door.

We got Reagan's first birthday pictures taken...

There are so many cute ones it was hard to pick but here is one of my favorites. She did a great job of capturing Reagan's personality and lots of her expressions.
One of the coolest things we did in the last month was celebrate the ground breaking of our building project at church. Everyone during the service got a stake and wrote prayers on them. Then we took them outside and hammered them down along the perimeter of where the new building is going to be.

It was so cool to see all the stakes once it was completed and think about all of the people that will be able to walk through the doors and attend a service in the new santuary.

We also took our first trip to the zoo. Reagan called all the animals dogs and really enjoyed the dolphin show. We got to feed the giraffes.

Reagan has been watching baseball with Rob and wearing his hats.

We enjoyed a visit with Rob's family over the 4th. This is Rob's sister's little girl who is 8 weeks older than Reagan. They really had fun together.

These are her older kids Rachel and Joel. Reagan could also say Joel...it was so cute!

We have made many trips to the park. Reagan mostly enjoys watching the other kids but has really starting climbing on the playground. Here I was trying to get a shot of her in her new shades and yes she does leave them on.

Watching a little league game...we are really serious about baseball in the Doll house!!
Got the two ring pool from Walmart out. She had more fun climbing in and out then actually playing in the water.
Nothin like playing with no diaper on! She has gotten so fast that I turn around to get the diaper and she is gone. We are working on the walking, getting better everyday.
Reagan got her first taste of a popsicle. It was tasty and very messy but what a great summer treat!

I promise to be better about posting - it has just been too nice out to be sitting at my computer.

Happy Birthday Reagan!!

Yesterday our little girl celebrated her first birthday! It is hard to believe that she has been a part of our lives for a year now but we can not imagine life without her! To celebrate that occasion we had family and a few friends over. Here are just a few pictures.

This is a cool gift that my sister gave Reagan. It is the words to my favorite Rascal Flatts song "My Wish". This song puts into words so much of what I would want her to always know. The first time I left Reagan was to see Rascal Flatts and when they played this song I was a mess!Such a cool gift that she will cherish for a very long time.

Check out her new ride from Grammy and Epa. She has already enjoyed several rides around the neighborhood.

OK so this is one of the most interesting gifts that she got. It is a Rody Horse that you ride but it grows with her, you just put more air in it! You can not tell by this picture but she is in love with it!

Reagan even enjoyed some cake or atleast played in the frosting! She did take a little taste but really didn't like it! Oh well, back to the fruits and veggies for you!

Spring Time Fun!

We have been enjoying the sunshine here at Doll House so we have not been very good at updating our blog. Here is a little slide show to update you on recent events including my mom's 50th birthday, farmer's market downtown, Grandpa's memorial, Reagan helping with planting of flowers and hanging with friends.

Kyle's graduation

Here are a few pictures from Kyle's graduation

Congrats Kyle!!

My baby brother is graduating from Hamilton Southeastern High School tomorrow and as a present I have been compiling his pictures from birth to present day. It has shown me a few things...

1. My parents were not very organized when it came to pictures which is something I want to be better at. Pictures, I see now, are priceless and something wonderful to have.

2. My brother is a lot younger than me. For example the pictures of me moving into my dorm at Purdue showcase my brother being very little.

3.Time goes by very fast!! Looking at so many memories that feel like yesterday and to realize they were 10+ years ago is just crazy.

So here are a few oldies but goodies I hope you enjoy....

My Great Grandma with her brand new grandson.

Disney World trp playing dress up

Another trip to Disney enjoying fries after a long day!

One of my favorite pics of my dad and brother when he was about 6 months old.

Sisterly love!!

Kyle we are so proud of you!! We know that the path that God has for you is amazing and we pray everyday that you will be true and faithful to that plan. Though we are going to miss you when you make the big move to Florida, we wish you the best of luck at school and in all things in your life! We love you very much, Kyle!!!

Party Time!

Reagan's little friend, Cullen, turned one this last weekend and he had a party to celebrate.

And what a party it was - Lots of fun friends, clowns making balloons and face painting, tons of good food, and a silly safari guy! Reagan really enjoyed watching all the kids and was taking every bit of the animals in. We had to break the news to her though that she was not going to have such a large celebration for her birthday - I know we are such mean parents but hey she is not going to remember her first birthday so might as well keep it simple!

Watching the Silly Safari guy and all his animals.

"Yes KiKi, a car similar to this would be a wonderful birthday gift!"

The birthday boy was a little worn out after all the activities - as you can see here he was eating his cake with his eyes closed and falling half asleep.

Great day for a picnic

We enjoyed a picnic with Sam and Joe on Friday to soak up the sunshine and get out of the house so their mom could get some work done.
The boys had fun running around and climbing on a fence.
I took my eyes off of Reagan for one second and she decided it was time to have her first taste of mud! She had it all over her face and in her mouth! Tasty!
Of course we had to have transportation to and from our picnic so they all rode in the wagon. Needless to say, I had a good workout!

Flowers

For my Grandpa'a memorial service I arranged some flowers for the church. It made me remember how much I enjoyed doing it.

Comfortable?

This is the second time we have found Reagan sleeping like this....

Earth quake in Indiana!?!

OK for those Doll House readers that do not live in Indiana, I wanted to make sure that you were aware that earth quakes can happen in Indiana. Rob and I were awaken this morning around 5:30 and not by Reagan but by the movement of our house shaking! For those of you in California this would not be something that would suprise you to experience but for us it took a few minutes to figure out what happened. It was confirmed on the news that in deed it was an 5.2 magnitude earthquake located in southern Indiana - hard to believe we could feel it so many miles away. Good news it that not really any damage or injuries have been reported. There have been several after shocks but we have only felt one around 11am which was 4.5 magnitude.

On a different note - we are going to be participating in the Race for The Cure event in Indy tomorrow morning, if the rain holds off. My Godmother, Teona, is a 20 year survivor!!!

Trip to Cincy

We took a trip to Cincy to catch a Reds baseball game. We headed over on Friday with hopes of getting out and about but it was rainy so we hit the pool instead and went to a great dinner at Montgomery Inn.

Reagan really enjoys the water so it is going to be a fun summer!

Rob wanted to make sure that he did not get anything on his shirt - looks great!
The best part of the trip was going to a Reds game. The sun was out and we soaked it up. Reagan had a great time checking out the people around her and eating ball park food. She did fall asleep during the 9th inning so she missed the Reds coming back and winning the game.

Little worker

Reagan and I had lunch with a friend downtown and we visited Rob at his office. Reagan wanted to "type" on Rob's computer badly.
