June Pictures

All of our random pictures from the month of June: 

little poser :)

Reagan announcing her turn in the big sister role


2015 Charlie Kearns Memorial

They love riding around with Papa visiting with the players


Reagan's first hair cut at 3 years old just like her sister

Just a trim...mommy is too afraid to cut off those beautiful curls

And this girl!  So proud of her.  She decided she wanted to do a Summer cut this year.  She gets very hot and doesn't like the long hair on her neck in the Summer time.  I explained to her that if she wanted to, she could donate it.  Her principal had cancer this past year and shaved her head at school so we had previous conversations about how some people are sick and lose their hair and so she decided that she wanted to donate it for Mrs. Schultz.








And then got her ears pierced the same day!  I told her once she was 5 she could do it.  She wasn't quite ready then so I told her to let me know when she was.  About a month before she turned 6 she decided it was time.  So she got her hair cut and ears pierced 2 days before school was out for the Summer.


She was pretty nervous and I think it was the anticipation of it hurting that made her so emotional.  She cried more before they actually did anything than after it was done. 


A few days later we said good bye to our Terrain.  We traded it in for the big mama version to fit this third little lady. 


Gamma and Papa had bought her some Hands of Claddagh earrings and were waiting until she got her ears pierced to give them to her. 

The half bathroom was pretty much finished up in the month of June...three months after we started.  Basically the story of every renovation around here.  This was to take two weeks.  Ha!  Just like our basement was to take 8 months to a year and instead took three.  



The annual burning of our Christmas tree

Bacon, bacon, and more bacon

Starting out Father's Day right





Father's Day walk up to the water tower.  Such a good daddy to these girls.

These two after getting fillings.  Rylie's first cavity.  Daddy had one too so they did it together.  Each of them have half of their face numb.  I have never laughed so hard as they attempted to talk and smile.

Shaving with Papa 

Papa set up the tent for them to play in which they used for 2 minutes

A short ride in the back of a convertible

Big enough for swimming lessons on her own!  Daddy is pretty happy about not having to get into the pool :)

Girls' Birthday Party

The joint birthday party for the girls has worked out really well for us the past few years.  With everyone's schedules, it's easier to have them come out to celebrate these two at one time than to try to find two different weekends that work.  The past few years we've had it at Kinderberg Park in Germantown, which we have loved, but decided this year to try it in our back yard again. The girls had a great time with all the kids. This was Rylie's GOLDEN birthday celebration so we decided to do everything in gold.  Reagan wanted a Sofia the First party so we had lots of purple as well. 


Their big surprise gift from Mommy and Daddy.  Notice how Reagan jumped right in the driver's seat...also seen in the video below...she just hops in and takes off: 







These two and their poses

Reagan read every one of her birthday cards and it ended with "And Happy Birthday"

So excited for her first boom box so she can play all of her Kidz Bop CD's.  Yes, we still own a boom box and CD's.

Testing out her new chair like her sisters.

Someone was overly excited about her "wide cloth headbands" that she asked for.  When asked what she wanted for her birthday this year she said earrings and head bands. 

Ry and her BFF Sophie

We are SO BLESSED with these two.

Grr Mom and Rylie's GOLDEN butterfly cake she requested.






Grr Mom and Reagan's purple Princess cake














Can't believe my first baby is 6 years old!

We ended the night with a big bonfire and s'mores for those that could stick around.  And a lot of glow sticks for all the kids to run around with.  Another successful party in the books.  These two are so lucky to have all of these family and friends celebrate with them each and every year.
