happy birthday, raegan!

well, raegan turned 3 at the beginning of this month. in the midst of buying a new home, moving, and all the craziness of summer, i am just getting around to posting the pictures...

the weekend of memorial day, we drove to kansas to go house hunting and stayed with paul and natalie in olathe. fun! we found a house we love and got things rolling with that. on memorial day, my mom drove up to pick up the girls and take them back with her to missouri for a few weeks. this is a fun tradition that we have in my family, when i was growing up rachel, aaron, and i would spend 3 weeks of the summer with nannie and papa in albuquerque. it was so fun and some of the best memories i have growing up. so, we decided that my parents would continues these fun times. and this was the first summer. so, my mom came a picked up grace and raegan and they drove back to missouri, while bryan, jack and i drove home to oklahoma.

can i just say... so sad... and so bored. life without two little girls and only one baby was so different. me and jack were so bored and made a trip to the waterpark practically every day. man, i missed those girlies like crazy. and while they were gone, raegan had her birthday. i was pretty sad to miss that, but we skyped the whole thing and it was great.

so, for about the last 6 months, grace has been asking raegan what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday... dora or tinkerbell... i think that these were the only two options that grace gave raegan because these were the kinds of cakes that she had wanted for her birthdays and i made for her. so, raegan has been saying for the last few months that she decided she wanted a tinkerbell cake, so we had one ordered and it was too cute!


raegan had a great party! the roberts' came over and celebrated with them and she received a plethora of gifts, including every barbie movie she didn't already have, barbies, polly pockets, and little dog she named sparkles.



so, i can't believe that raegan is already 3 and such a big girl. i love her to death and here is a look at the last 3 years.

oh, the day she was born... doesn't bryan look like 10 years younger instead of 3... hmm...


here she is again with grace for her polka dot themed first birthday party


and finally, last year, when she turned 2.


happy birthday, raegan! we are so grateful you came to our little family! we love your awesome personality and your sweet smile!
