Reese's school Pictures

I wish I had a scanner. They are just so cute.

More Oil Ranch...

She has a MUCH better camera of course LOL

Oil Ranch

We went to the Oil Ranch again with some friends. It was so nice outside and even a tad chilly at times. The girls had so much fun petting the animals, riding the horse (although Saige wouldn't get on and ride it), running through the hay, going on a train ride, and just playing. Reese even milked the cow this year. She loved it! (ewww haha) Here are some pictures from our day.

Ballet

We did a free ballet class the other day and Reese LOVED it. There is only 6 little girls in the class and one is in her class at school! The two girls didn't act like it was a big deal though like me and her mom did...haha! But after running all over the northwest side the other day we were able to find her tap and ballet shoes. I don't know how *I* feel about her being in dance. Its so serious and fussy but she REALLY loves it so I'm going to swallow my feelings and let her dance. Here is her picture...could she seriously be any cuter?!?!?!?!

Neighborhood Playdates

We've had so much fun playing with all the sweet kiddos on our street. We are very lucky that there are a ton of kids for the girls to play with. I think that someone always seems to be pregnant. Right now no one is but a few are working on (hehe)!

We are doing a monthly playdate with a few neighbors. The kids are more around Saige's age which is nice because we are normally bringing Saige to Reese's events. I feel like Saige finally has her own "friends" but Reese has fun too. We went to Deanna's house for pumpkin decorating and cookie decorating. We had fun. Thanks for inviting us Deanna. Heres a few pictures...








I bought the girls some cupcakes the other day and we baked them and then invited a few other neighbors over to help decorate (and eat them). I think they all only ate the icing but they had fun and thats all that matters.

A girl and her shoes

Reese loves shoes. She loves to dress up and prance around. Today I caught her walking in my tall heels. Heres a picture of my fancy nancy

Stuff

We are officially weaning Reese of the paci. I always hated seeing older kids with paci's. They are for babies but of course my now 3 year old is addicted to hers so I'm one of "those" moms :) Whatever.

The reason I'm doing it is her teeth. We had her 3 year check up and our pedi took a peek at her teeth and he could even tell how the paci is affecting her teeth. She has a crossbite and it looks like maybe an open bite as well? We'll have Aunt Amber check that out (and the tongue thrust). Am I paranoid or what?!

I snipped the tip last night and she didn't care at all. That just goes to show its an emotional attachment and not a "NEED". I'm going to slowly continue snipping it and hopefully avoid tears. I was able to get her off the boob so I CAN do this. (pray for us...I'm scared LOL)




Saige is sooooo big and getting so smart. Yesterday we were counting (well Reese and I were) and I was going 1,2,3,4,5 and Shouts 6. Seriously? How did she know 6 came next? I'm sure shes just picking it all up from Reese and me but still?! It seems so crazy.


And she can seriously work it. Sometimes in the middle of the night she would sort of fuss, not a full blown crying but a fuss. Well now she just starts straight out with "Mommy Mommy Mommy Hold you Mommy Hold you". How can anyone resist that?! She is keeping us on our toes.


And speaking of smart...Reese is doing so well with her letters and numbers. She knows almost all the letters. She still gets a few mixed up and shes even starting to learn a few sounds. I'm so proud of her. We are working on writing a TINY bit too. Sometimes she's interested and other times NO way! But I'm trying to show her how to make an "R" which is a little hard if you ask me. hahaa. She also can recognize a good bit of her numbers. I know this is normal for her age but I'm still proud. Shes getting to be such a big girl.
