2023 October, November, December (Reagan's 7th birthday, Christimas)

Still trying to play catch up from last year.....

Reagan is still is scared of going to sleep because she has such bad nightmares. We have tried everything from sound machines, stuffed animals that "breathe" (their chest goes up and down and is supposed to be calming), calming videos on her ipad, trying breathing exercises (breathe in through your nose like smelling a flower, breathe out f your mouth like blowing bubbles), sleeping with all of the lights on and closet doors closed, etc. We have finally resorted to melatonin gummies, only when she has a really really tough couple days of not sleeping. Hopefully she will eventually stop having the nightmares. She purposely stays up as late as she can because she is so scared to fall asleep. 

Reagan turned 7 on October 15. Where has my baby gone? She is turning into a wonderful young lady. She is so artistic, funny and the most empathetic person I have ever known. Her favorite things to do are drawing, painting and playing Minecraft, Toca World and Roblox. 

Both kids wanted to be unicorns for Halloween. I am happy they tend to pick costumes that are warm because 99% of time, the temperature is really cold on Halloween.

We had a great Christmas and hope you all did too! Sorry, these  pictures are in no particular order...

Mommy and her love for matching jammies

We were at Target and Ray wanted her picture taken like this..lol

We like to go to the mall and see puppies (well Reagan does, I am too scared), play air hockey at the arcade and for some reason always take a pic on this bench. lol

Daddy took this pic of Joe playing in the leaves.

Grandma B took us to this cool train exibit.

Christmas Eve with Uncle George and Aunt Janet

Daddy took this pic of Reagan's butt, I mean Reagan bowling

Taking over Mommy's bed

Playing with Medes

This is how Reagan waiting for the bus one day

Carving pumpkins. I didn't want to carve one so Mommy carved a cat for me.(not pictured). Reagan carved a silly face

Happy birthday to Reagan!

Eddie helped Reagan fill out her Star Student of the Week posted. Lily thought it was boring.

Lily loves to play in paper bags and boxes

I made a cute little pumpkin tray in school. Mommy loves it. I decided to make it a holder for the fish food. Speaking of fish, we all cannot believe they are still living, a year later.

Happy Halloween!!

Reagan and Mommy were in heaven! Mommy's favorite breed of dog. They didn't just get to play with one puppy. They got to play with two!

This puppy wanted to play with me so bad. I don't like playing with puppies. They are cute but I just like to look at them.

Look at all of the tickets we won at the arcade!

Hard at work at school

Medes loves to lay on everyone!

Reagan likes to watch my videos for school with me.

Look, I actually have my hair down!

Reagan put her hairclips on her fingers

There's Medes, laying on Reagan again!

Our school pictures this year

"Grandma" Deb came by and brought crafts for us! Grandma Deb is a friend that Mommy used to work with about 13 years ago. We love hanging out with her.

Looking at Christmas lights!

 At the movies

Mommy always takes our picture by this tree

Don't let this picture fool you. Mommy took a video of Reagan playing with Medes.About 30 seconds after taking this pic, Medes slapped Reagan in the face and walked away :)

Merry Christmas!

Where is Reagan!?!

Lily received a new tunnel for Christmas

I am obsessed with My Little Pony (and Aphmau, a Minecraft character)

Reagan and Buddy hanging out

Happy New Year!!

So much confetti!

Reagan likes Aphmau too, in case you couldn't tell by the picture.
