First Dance Class

Today was Raegan's first day of dance at Forest Dance Academy!! She was so excited because she got to wear her white leotard, pink tights and ballet shoes. When we got there I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure how she would do but luckily we knew the assistant teacher and Raegan had her friend Maddie by her side. The class is 45 minutes long and unfortuantely we didn't get to watch so we had to sit in the waiting room. When the class was over Raegan came out of the room with a huge smile on her face and holding a lollipop so I knew it must have gone well. She looked at me and said "Mommy thanks for taking me, I had so much fun!!"

Here are just a few pics that I took before she went in the class!

Picking Apples

Raegan is really into picnics right now and has been asking for awhile to go on one. So last Saturday, Raegan got her wish and we decided to go. So we packed our lunch, packed the car with our very energetic black lab Roxy and headed to Crabtree Falls for a picnic. It was such a beautiful and perfect day for a picnic. After about an hour of driving we unfortuantely couldn't find a picnic area. Finally we just found a patch of grass that would work because we including the dog were getting a little hungry. On our way back from our picnic we saw a sign that said "Apples Pick u own". So we decided that we would check it out just to see what it was all about. When we arrived at Flippin-Seaman Apple orchard we were greeted by the nicest people. They explained that there were several kinds of apples and we could eat and try any of the apples. We decided to pick a 1/2 bushel of apples (which turns out to be a lot). Raegan had such a great time picking the apples. They told us that they will also have pumpkin picking in October along with a festival the 1st and 3rd Saturday.

First Blog

Well I have finally decided to start a blog. Sam and I are so extremely lucky to be raising our sweet and beautiful daughter Raegan Elizabeth. She is 3 1/2 and is a true blessing from God. He has blessed us so much over the last 4 years of marriage.
