Going to Biggs

Today, I went to Biggs with Jim (and Jordan and Reagan). I was going stir crazy and really wanted to get out. But the only way that I can wander the isles at the store is to get in one of the electric carts.

Yes folks I rode in one of those carts that we love to make fun of people using. It was fun and completely amusing for the first five minutes. That's it. It actually went pretty fast and even had a "backup mode" with noise and everything. "Beep beep beep". I think the backup mode made it for Jim. He giggled everytime I used it.

Oh yea - this picture isn't me (by the way). I wanted to post a picture of what I rode in so you'd know how nuts it was.
Ah well. I can now cross that off my list of "Things to do before I turn 40". Weeee

Big day today

Today we went and bought some new grown up things for little Ms. Reagan. Since we've had some success with the "poopy in the potty", we bought a couple toddler toilets. And I was getting tired of the whole high chair cleaning thing, so we got her a booster seat. Yea Reagan.

Poopy in the potty AGAIN

Reagan is starting to poop in the potty. She doesn't come to us yet about doing it, but when we see her start the motions, we ask her. When she nods, she stomps off to the bathroom and waits for Jim to put her on the toilet. It's hilarious. When they are done, they both flush the toilet and say "goodbye poopies!"

Um, yea.

The cutest picture

This has got to be the cutest picture of Jim and Reagan. :)

Slicky spots on our hill

This morning was hilarious. Jim, Jordan and Reagan were all about ready to take off to school and we got an email saying that Jordan's school was on an hour delay. So everyone took off their coats and hung out. The funny thing was that we really didn't realize how slick our hill was. Jim was in his office working and heard someone spinning their tires. He looked out and apparently there was a Jeep stuck on the hill. There were multiple other cars that would start sliding about 1/4th the way down and eventually would stop. We saw a Yukon slide 1/2 way down and turn sideways in the process. Wow. So we sat at home until the salt truck came through. Oh yea... it was bad enough that even the salt truck couldn't get up the hill without dumping a TON of salt.

Twisting and turning

The weather man actually got it right - this morning we had snow flurries. Because of this, we couldn't get off our hill. So Grammy, who was stuck at home herself, came up the hill to help watch Reagan while Jim worked.

She and I were hanging out in the living room when Reagan started walking around with both of her arms out. She started turning - like an airplane - around and around. Huh? I don't get it. She did it again and again. So darn cute. Then she started shaking her head and then her arms. She didn't do it at the same time, but it looks like she's learning how to twist and turn. How cute!?

Jordan and her flute

Well Jordan has started playing the flute. The cool thing is that she had several options from her band teacher and she chose the flute. (awww). So I told her that I'd help her.

I am just amazed. She is really doing well on it. She plays clear and loves the challenge. Of course, I'm giving her a step up on some of the other kids I'm sure because I drill her a lot, but she asks me to. We have fun.

I am really excited and hope she keeps it up. She is doing great and some part of me thinks she might have some natural talent since it seems to come very easy to her.
