Train Ride to the North Pole

This year we made our second annual train ride to the North Pole with our good friends the Birds. We decided to ride the Three Rivers Rambler out of Knoxville and were so glad we did. It was such a fun experience! Reagan and her friends Brooks and Braden loved it.

So excited!!

Here is my ticket Mr. Conductor.

Enjoying the cookies, juice, and hot chocolate.

Reagan was a little tolerable of Santa this year because I told her if she didn't tell Santa what she wanted then he wouldn't know what to bring her. She was so precious and asked for a race car and hand sanitizer.

She still would go nowhere near his lap though!

Elfis (Elvis) the Elf

This year we started a new tradition called Elf on a Shelf. We read the book and then Reagan named him Elvis. She loved waking up each morning to see where the Elf was at. I know the number one rule for the Elf is not to touch him but that did not go over very well! She wanted to just love on him.

Happy Halloween!

Yum...candy apples

Reagan and daddy carving thier pumpkin. I love that adoring look on her face.

Reagan and Annie Kate - Best Friends

Several days last week, when Anniston left Shirley's Reagan would just cry and cry. She told me - I miss Annie, her my best friend!

Trick or Treat!

That's Ricky Bobby if you are wondering :)

This is Ms. Jamie, Reagan's Sunday School teacher. Reagan LOVES Jamie and her class.

After trick or treating we came home and had a SPOOKY supper.

We had cheese fingers...

bug juice...

and spaghetti and eyeballs. Yummo!

Happy Halloween!

Look at me!

Reagan and I had a girls day last Saturday. We went to Chattanooga to go shopping, eat Japanese (our favorite), and....Reagan decided she wanted to get her ears pierced! She has talked about wanting it done for a while now but we just never have gotten to the store to do it. So we decided today was the day. I purposely had not told her what to expect because I figured she would chicken out. Poor thing had no clue what was going to happen. She was really chatting up the lady and she sat in my lap so good but after they did it she started bawling....until they gave her a sucker. Suckers cure everything!

Mayfield Farm

This was our third annual trip to the Mayfield Farm to pick out a pumpkin. There is so much to see and do here. Reagan had a great time looking at the animals (although she did not want to feed them), riding the cow train, playing in the corn box, and taking a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We missed having Nana with us though, she usually goes with us :(

Laying claim.

Riding the cow train. I was so suprised that she decided to ride this by herself! There were all bigger kids on the triain and they wanted to go fast and boy it took off. Poor Reagan had this look of fear on her face when it started but when it was over she just laughed and laughed.

Proud of her pumpkin...ready to take it to daddy so he can carve it.

My big girl! She is growing too fast!

Goooooo Tigers!

The youth football league was selling old cheerleading uniforms so I just had to get Reagan one! Now, she is REALLY into cheerleading. Justin has been teaching her several new cheer and they like doing stunts together. HA...reminds me of that commercial with the dad and dughter doing cheers! She came to visit me and Justin this week at school and was showing off all her skills to the 9th graders.They thought she was a hoot!

Reagan and her little cousin Anniston (Kate).

Bounce House with Kate

As you have probably figured out by now we LOVE bounce houses. Reagan could stay for hours.

This one even had all sorts of dress up clothes.
