Some fun with Grandma and Grandpa Swaringen...

Eli was so excited to ride around with Grandpa!
They don't look very impressed do they!?

There's a little smile!

Eli was excited he got to ride into the garage with Grandma!
He's such a mess!

He wanted to show off his sliding skills to Grandma!

See, here I go!

Wheeeee!
This child HATES getting grass on him... He will do this till you come and pick him up cause he doesn't want to touch the grass with his hands!


Such a weirdo!

All better now!

Catch up Cell Phone pics...

:) Here you go... It's hard to upload them, so I don't get to them as often as I should! ;)

This is Eli at the ER in November... He had an over 104 degree temp that wouldn't stay down with meds, so we headed to the ER... :( This was after lots of Motrin... He was happy for about 20 minutes, then miserable again!)

He was trying to offer us some of his snack! ;)

On our way to NC at Christmastime... The poor guy fell asleep mid-pizza slice! ;)

As you can see they BOTH enjoyed some slumber! ;) (This was at a stoplight!)

Sitting outside Cracker Barrell with Grandpa...

This was at our Real Estate Agent's office when we were making our first offer...

Ryan was very bored as you can tell...

This is the dresser we got at a local resale furniture store... It's solid and after a little work will go in Reagan's room! ;)

Jacob at Ihop on Free Pancake Day!

Jared enjoying his free stack!

Wade enjoyed a few bites too! ;)

Eli of course enjoyed his too! ;)

Us at our final walk through before we signed our lives away! ;)

If you click on this and make it bigger, you should be able to see it's a CVS... It's on the way to GA and NC and it's in a little strip mall... Just thought Mom would get a kick out of it... Never seen one before that wasn't free-standing... (I know, I'm weird!)

I was putting away Eli's saucer since Reagan can't use it for a couple more months and Eli couldn't handle it, he HAD to get in even with it folded up! ;)

Please ignore that he's pantless! ;)

Also took the cover off the car seat so we could wash it and get it ready for Reagan... Eli couldn't resist this either!

Reagan's Baby Shower at Calvary!

Part of it may be hard to read because it's playing through so quickly, anyways, they had this pretty yucky game where they melted candy bars in diapers and then you had to guess what candy bar it was... It was seriously TOO real! ;) Very creative game though! ;)

They were so generous and such a blessing!

Emma and Reagan's Double Shower!

We had so much fun at our shower, and I thought y'all would like to see some of the pics...
Heather's friend took them, so I am thankful we have a few pics of the event!

Hope you enjoy!

Reagan and I at 34 weeks...

I'm 36 weeks now, but I thought y'all would like to see us at 34 weeks... I'll try to take a new one soon... ;)

Yes I know I'm huge, and NO, I'm not having twins, and YES, my due date is correct! ;)

Eli with his twin from church...

Eli and Isabelle actually have the same birthday, so I sometimes call her his twin although she's a little more delicate than our rough and tumble Eli... She really is a sweetheart and they get along really well...

Hope you enjoy...

Eli's a little crazy as you can see! ;)

Poor Isabelle doesn't know what to think of Eli sometimes...

They are so cute...

At least Eli thinks his Daddy is funny! ;)

Eli and the Pig...

Ryan got me this pig for our first Christmas as a way to remember him since he says he is a "pig"... ;) Well, I pulled it out for Eli and he just LOVES it! He'll just cuddle it and love on it, so I thought I would get a couple pics of him when he first woke up from his nap... This was in his old room at the apartment, so these are actually from back in February... :( I promise I'm gonna get better!

He is such a cuddle bug when he wakes up from his nap... (He wasn't very happy that I wasn't holding him!) ;)

He loves his Mommy and his pig!

(Of course the pig represents Daddy, so he loves Daddy too!) ;)

I'm baaaccckkkk... ;)

Well, for now at least! ;)

Our life has been just a LITTLE busy as of late, and I'm afraid the blog has taken the biggest hit! I'm going to do my best to get caught up, so here you go...

Here is the business card I designed a couple weeks ago and they just came in the mail... (The printer did a great job I think!)



It will be nice to have a card to give people when they are interested in my photography... :)

Reagan's Clothes Deals!

Here is the link to my album on Facebook of all the great deals that I've gotten or Ryan and his Mom have gotten! ;) I did really good today at Kohls, so I thought I also would post the pics of the clothes I got at Children's Place and then the clothes Ryan and his Mom got at a Consignment sale and Carters...

Hope y'all enjoy!

Preggo Pic...

Well, since everyone is letting me know how ridiculously big I already am, I decided to take a picture and see how big it really is... I still have 10.5 weeks left and NO, I'm not having twins! ;)

Kids, Kids, Kids! ;)

Well, Eli and I are in NC for a few days for Wade's birthday, and this afternoon after Sunday lunch, Mom asked me for a picture of all the cousins, so here is our little attempt... Jacob was fine until he got scared right before the picture, so I can't believe we got a pleasant look from him even after crying! Such a happy boy! Anywho, this is about the best of the bunch! ;) Plus there is one of Haylee and Jared that makes them look about 12!

Hope y'all enjoy!

Jared - 5 years, Jacob - 15 months, Eli - 20 months, Haylee - 5.5 years, Wade - 11.5 months

Daddy and Eli...

Just thought I would post a few pics of post-op Daddy and Eli comforting him... :) Ryan had surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids and correct his deviated septum on the 9th, and has not been loving life, but thinks he might finally be on the road up to feeling a "little" better... I can speak from experience that this recovery is extremely painful, so Eli and I are trying to be on our best behavior while Daddy is on the mend...

So, here are a few pics of Eli sitting with Daddy while we watch Survivor... :) Eli thinks Sandy is annoying too just in case you're wondering...

Cheeseball father and son... (Ryan is loving not shaving just in case anyone is wondering!)

Ryan being silly and Eli investigating this "beard"

Daddy couldn't keep pretending... :)

Kisses for Eli...

Eli eating...

Which is pretty much his favorite pastime... :) The first is him eating yogurt... He ate the first cup with very little mess and asked for "more"... He ate about half of the second cup and then just started playing... He had fun and then got to have a bath too! ;)

The rest are of him eating a little spaghetti... He was just so cute I couldn't resist... Hope y'all enjoy!

He is such a sweet little boy...

He loves the camera

Playing is so much more fun than eating...

On second thought...

yumm...

such a cheeseball

our happy little boy...

Eli having a little fun at the park...

Since the weather has been so unseasonably warm, I've been itching to get out and take some pictures of Eli before he completely grows up on us! So, today after his nap, We left Daddy resting in the recliner and headed to one of our local parks... He was much more interested in playing than taking pictures, but I got a few fun ones... Hope y'all enjoy! (He just got a haircut today, so that's why his hair is extra short!)

I'm having problems uploading the pictures, so here is the link to my Facebook album...

I think this is gonna work now... :)
