DANCE CLASS

9.18.10

These pictures are going to be the ones when Ragan gets older and is looking through baby pictures and sees these and will ask me... Why/ how did you let me leave the house like this? Did you not love me? What were you thinking? I look at them and just laugh at how unprepared i was! thinking back on it the moms were probably thinking the same as Ray! heheheh!

9.18.10

This is on our way to dance This is where it gets a little more embarassing! Alright class, were late... as usual! do you see maddie? Right next to Ragan, well they are buddies and love to dance so here we are. Well Maddies mom is actually responsible because you can see how she is dressed. Pink leotard, tutu, tights, tap shoes, ballet shoes and hair pulled back. As you can see ragan has NON of that!! haha! Gymnastics suit, tutu off of her easter basket last year thats too big, no tights, no tap or ballet shoes (o ya its a tap/ballet dance class), but, her hair is out of her eyes at least! Ya it turns out every other mom got the memo! Sorry Ray, Love you, well try next time!

9.18.10

This is some of the moms outside the studio because there are no windows and they dont leave the door open for us to see our little ballerinas. All the moms are outside trying as hard as they can to find a spot in the curtains where there is a crack and they can see their kid! It was so cold outside too, the things we do for our kids! It was funny so i took a picture! All the moms did this the first 4 weeks!

Saturday mornings @ 9:30 - 10:15

Right after class we went and got the leotard, tights & shoes and started on a big poofy tutu. I think we got the hang of it now, even Dad!

Going For A Ride

So Melissa and Hugh came over to play today and Garth was on his way home from school and noticed they were over so he stopped by on his scooter! Ragan and Hugh jumped on and i had to get the camera!

Ragan got to go on a quick ride and Hugh was not very happy to see someone else in his spot riding off into the sunset, so he followed as close behind as he could!

Excited? I think she enjoyed it!

She was so happy she wanted to do a "pretty picture". This is what she does when she wants me to take a "pretty picture" of her. Sits down bends her knees back and crosses her hands... ya, dont ask where that came from i dont know!!9.8.10

First Day of School

So this is the first day of school and Ragan cant be more excited, me on the other hand... NERVOUS! Ragan picked out this outfit from head to toe all by her self, she had to wear the red shoes because they matched her shirt even though they are too small! This was pretty good considering the day before she came down stairs with a blue plaid skirt and a purple plaid shirt. I look at her and just say wow your lookin colorful today! She said "well mom there is blue on my skirt" and points it out then grabs her shirt and points to the only line of blue and says "see? they match" with the biggest grin on her face knowing she wouldnt have to change because she "matched"!

She was in no mood today for pictures, so you get what you get! She thinks she is pretty funny when she pulls a face at the last second... i think its kinda funny too, but not for long!

Here she is folks... my big girl going to her first day of school, backpack 'n' all!

Ragans Bathroom!

K mom i finally got the measurements for the bathroom. I was like okay this will take no time at all, so i did it first off my list, to cross something off real quick... ya not so quick! i got all into it, ya thats right this is to scale, 1in = 1ft! an hour later and nothing else done off my list before Ragan got up!!! Click on it if it needs to be bigger.

(Picture above) So these are the measurements. I drew the picture looking into the closet from Ragans room. Behind wall "A" is the chimney and the spare room. Behind wall "B" is the crawl space. Behind wall "C" is the landing & stairs. "D" is the floor & "E" is the ceiling.

So i thought the sink would fit nice on this wall because it is the shortest, i was wrong. I think its too short and takes up too much room (ya its to scale too!) i would like to fit a vanity/sink in there for storage, i know i hated my pedestal sink. Anyways i am thinking the sink on wall "F" (above picture, same as "A" its Rays door right now but will be a wall!) and the toilet centered on wall "A". If you push it towards wall "B" too much you will be bare bummed scooting back pretty far bent over just feeling for the potty!! Ya sounds funny but, i dont think i would be laughing too hard if i had to do it! Then i measured wall "C" and a pocket door will fit, yes the door and the pocket! The pocket will have to go into the spare room but it doesnt make a difference.

Here are a few standard measurements i was going with for the vanity, toilet, and pocket door. Now its your turn to work you magic and make me love a bathroom set up. I need help with where to put the sink and potty.

Love you cant wait to see you!

So we just went to go see Ramone & Beezus and Ragan loved it! its about a little girl who has her head up in the clouds and very imaginative... and that is usually why she gets in trouble! So there was a part where they were trying to sell their house cause their dad got a new job. Beezus was really upset, so she ran over to her house while there was an open house, and crawled up into the attic and ended up going through the ceiling. Her dad yelled at her and told her it was time to grow up. Beezus went straight to her room and started packing her little going away bag. She told her mom she was running away... for ever. So the mom said your going to need a bigger bag so went and got her a suitcase and her tooth brush and toothpaste then packed her dads wool sweater to keep her warm, it was a little big but she would grow into it eventually! Beezus wasnt getting the reaction she thought would get. So she headed down the street to the bus stop crying along the way not feeling wanted or loved.

Wayne and i are looking at Ragan as her eyes are glued to the show and you can see her little lip fold over, then her eyes started to water, then crying! She has done this to another movie i cant remember which one but it was a while ago! It was so cute to see her so in-touch with her little girly emotions. I just told Wayne o this is just the tip of the ice berg... wait till its her time of the month if she is like this now!! We are in for a real treat with her!

But of course the family followed her and then told her how much they loved her and it was great. But then "sad" music came on with the credits and it was back to "her mommy and daddy didnt love her and she went away..." and then the water works!

So these are pictures of me comforting her telling her how much we love her!!

But i cant help but laugh at how stinking cute she is!

And this is the best, we got a video of her in her... distraught time!

I caught her in the candy cupboard

My little sneak

My lamp arent u proud of me!!
