Spring has sprung and we're having fun!

I have mentioned before that Reagan loves to put clothes on.  Doesn't matter what it is, be it a dish towel, necklace, or anything else laying around.  She loves it, and we love it too.

Keshia visits for a really fun St. Patty's Day celebration with JUST Mommy and Dada-- Thanks Kim!  Beforehand, Keshia plays dress up with Reagan. ... and yes, Aunt Keshia thought that Ashton's underwear would do just fine!

Underwear is fun!

Reagan put on all of the leis we got from baby Hannah's 1st birthday.  Too funny!

Now that the weather has somewhat improved, we're going on walks each day.  The kids love it and I really do too.  Here's a few pics from one of our sunny days, albeit on the cold side. 

Freeze!!  Ashton loves to run ahead of the stroller and then say "Look mommy!  FREEZE!!"

Something that I adore about Ashton is his outgoing personality.  He loves, loves, loves to visit the "big guys" on the basketball court.  He begs for the ball, and usually the boys indulge him.  I love watching because he is polite and idolizes all of them.  He really, really wants to be about 10, so he can join in on their games. 

Chesapeake Beach is in bloom!

SLIDE!  No surprise that our daredevil loves slides.  I caught him this time going down the slide the right way.  Typically, he prefers a running belly flop. 

I've received a few critiques of this blog because there are rarely pictures of me.  It is really hard to snap shots of me, but since it was such a sunny day, I captured this one.  Reagan was cold, so wasn't interested in smiling.  (ignore snot!)

We went to Hannah Jones' pool party, who is the daughter of my friends from college, Courtney and Tarn Jones.  They threw the perfect party for a 1-year-old, and kept in low key and kid-focused. How refreshing!!!  Truly, I had a blast.  They used an indoor pool and only had four kids present, including our two.  What made that great is the chaos was at a minimum, so the four kids were able to have the attention of their parents and swim in the pool for an endless amount of time.  Reagan and Ashton were in HEAVEN.  Reagan was kicking her legs the entire time with a perma-smile.  Ashton was also in hog heaven.  He was jumping in and out of the water, yelling "SWIM!!," playing with floating toys, and of course telling me, "Mommy, let go!!"  He doesn't know how to swim, so I couldn't let go, but we are definitely taking swim lessons soon because he is a natural.  In summary, it was a perfect day and I thank Courtney and Tarn for including us. 

Sweet Hannah is pooped from all the fun.  I didn't get great pictures, since I was primarily playing a fence between Ashton and the pool.

Ashton after swimming was all smiles.

As a last update for this blog, Reagan is really walking around the house.  She's walking about 60% of the time, and you know the toddle stage is just so cute.  Additionally, we've been really fortunate to have amazing hand-me-down clothes from mothers with great taste.  Which means she's now able to wear dresses since they're an annoyance when crawling. 

Looking pretty in blue!
