Time for an update

Well as you can tell, we have not been able to upload pictures lately onto our blog. Our personal computer crashed, and has been shipped off to Rob in Seattle, to see if there is any hope left for it. Rob is the computer guru in the family so we are hoping he work some magic! So we have been borrowing a computer from Mitch's work until we figure out what we will do so I am limited to what I can do on the work computer.

But things are going great for us. We are currently making banana bread for the neighbors and our house is smelly pretty good! I would like to eat them all, and I just keep telling myself that pregnant women can eat whatever they want and not to feel quilty about it. However, I just do not think that is the right attitude!

Reegan is growing like a weed. We had a great Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, and were able to spend time with both my side and Mitch's side of the family. Its makes for along day, but it was great to see everyone. We have our christmas tree up, and have been lucky that Reegan leaves it alone. Last year we had a tree with decorations from about halfway up, however this year Reegan just loves to look at the decorations. He is a character, and wants to be the one to turn the lights on in the morning and off when he goes to bed. If someone else beats him to it, its just all downhill from there. I think you could say we have a little "OCD" in that little boy.

Name suggestions..

Mitch and I struggle to agree on names. I know that most people have names that they like but do not plan on telling anyone so they do not get "stolen", but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions they would like to share.

Daddy's boy...

Reegan and I have to go to bank at least 3 times a week for work. The bank employees know that Reegan loves smarties, and they always give him one. Yesterday as Reegan I were in the drive-thru, and the lady returned our receipt and a smartie for Reegan, and he said, "NO, I want french fries". Now if we could only convince Zions Bank to pass out lunch items he would be hapy.

Also,
Mitch went to Salmon with his father fishing last Friday. He left early in the morning before Reegan had gotten up. When Reegan found his dads shoes that he normally wears to work, and Reegan thought that world had ended. He brought me Mitch's shoes, and was crying and saying, "my daddy's shoes....... ooooh no, my daddy's shoes". He was so worried that Mitch was gone and didn't have his shoes on. It was so cute that he was that upset and worried about Mitch.

Reegan is a daddy's boy, 100%! I can't complain because its nice to have him attack someone besides me all day.

20 Week Ultrasound

I went and had my 20 week ultrasound last week and we are happy to announce that it is a GIRL!! We are excited, but it will be interesting to see how Reegan reacts.

"oooooooooh cold momma!!! ... "

Last night after working at the house for a few hours, we headed home. I didn't notice at the wipes from the diaper bag had fallen out of the bag and onto the seat. Well now that its a little colder at night, the wipes were extremely cold this morning, and had a little frost on them.

Reegan and I had to run out to the house this morning before work and meet the carpet guys and of course, Reegan had to fill his diaper. I went and grabbed the diaper bag and realized that the wipes were on the seat instead of the bag. My poor little boy... I had to scrap the frost off the wipes and tried to warm them up in front of the heater vent in the house, but it was a COLD diaper change. As I was wiping his butt checks, he said, "oooooh, cold momma!!!" That was the fastest diaper change we have ever had. Reegan just stayed put and didn't even dare move for the fear of having to go through it again...... I guess the lesson of this story is to store some extra wipes at the house so we dont have to go through that again!

He is a tropper though! :)

Just like his Aunt Lindsay!!

Last night we had been out to the house finishing up a few odds and ends and thought we would just hurry and get something to eat on our way home. We ordered Reegan a kids meal with corndog things and french fries. However, the only thing he would eat was the ketchup off the fries and he put a TON of it on his plate so he had alot to clean off. He was seriously licking them clean!! I have never seen anyone do that and was close to losing my own dinner at that point. I guess he has learned a few things from his Aunt Linsday....

1- She will always hand him candy
2 - Ketchup is its own food group! :)

PS: The Ketchup was probably the only healthy item that came in his dinner so it could have been worse. He also ate a bowl of oatmeal when we got home.

STUPID CAR

We had to take my car into the dealer because it was making a strange noise and we needed to get it fixed before my warranty is gone. So today I am driving Mitch's car. And to be honest, I hate to drive Mitch's car, always have, always will....

As Reegan I get loaded up and on our way to aunt's Kerstin's house, who had volunteered to watch Reegan this morning, when the low fuel light came on. I decided to pull over and get some gas ASAP, because who knows how long Mitch had been driving with the light on. I get to the gas station, take the key out, and put some gasoline into the car. I get back into the car, start the car, and then it dies. This continues for a several minutes BEFORE I call Mitch to tell him the bad news. When Mitch showed up, he noticed that for the few seconds that the car was running that it would have a security light on. So we pulled out the manual, and apparently you are only able to use the keys that are original to the car. (I had used Mitch's key when we left the aparmtent, and after I got gas, I put my key into the ignition without knowing it.) So Reegan and I spend about 45 minutes at the truck stop watching the trucks, and Reegan asking to "get out" but thankfully its just a key issue, I hate having car issues!

PS: I HATE MITCH'S CAR!!
