Cabbage Patch Kids!

So as a child I always played with my cabbage patch kids. I am told I wasn't really into "playing babies" but Reagan totally is. She plays with baby dolls all day long. She drags them everywhere we go and sleeps with at least one. Her fav baby goes to school every week too. (The teacher informed me she does not share baby at school either. We are gonna work on that.) So anyways, I was over at my grandparents and mentioned to grandmother that I wanted to get Reagan a CPK. We then went on a hunt....cant find them at Walmart, Target or Toys-r-us? WHAT? So, grandmother likes to worry about something, just anything will do at any given time. Therefore, for the past 3 weeks she has been very worried about where she is going to get Reagan a CPK baby for her birthday. (Its not till November people). Long story short I just ordered one off the internet and can you believe people pay up to $375 for these "collector editions". Reagan definetly did not get the collectors edition. Just a good ole regular CPK. BUT, you know where they get you? Pay 3.00 and you can name is anything you want on the birth certificate and pick its birthday. So, of course I paid the $3. I mean, who doesn't want the cabbage patch baby named after them? Oh and shipping and handling was out of control. Just to warn you in case you need to order one.

Here's the one she ended up with. Kinda blurry but its cute. Blonde hair and green eyes so they will match. 

Happy Birthday Bill!

What a great weekend it turned out to be. One of our BFF's Bill had a birthday and his wife Leigh threw him a surprise party. We got to Chuck's at 6:45 for the big surprise and it was a success!

This is Bill's surprised face!!

Bad news was that  we had a waitress that sucked soooo bad. She had the personality of a brick wall. Not Cute Girlfriend. Dinner with 17 turned out to take 3 1/2 hours... AHHH needless to say we got creative with some picture taking. Here are a two examples!

We then continued the birthday celebration over at innisfree! Fun fun times for the Lightsey's and all involved! Saturday was the usual lake and swimming pool. Reagan has decided that it's fun to just dunk herself in the pool with no warning and give me heart attacks! I will try to post the video of it. It's crazy she has absolutely NO fear of the water. Not so scary in the pool where we can see her, but extremely scary near the lake where she could disappear fast!

Big Girl Bed!

Well, its that time in life where you get to big for a crib and need somewhere to sleep. I guess at some point it happened to all of us. We at the Lightsey's have had a sleepless couple of weeks. Miss Reagan has decided she HATES (yes that is all caps) HATES her crib. She screams bloody murder and freaks out when she sees it. SOOO, since Tc refuses to start the habit of her sleeping in our bed she has been sleeping on a cot beside us at night. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't consistently roll of the cot in the middle of the night EVERY NIGHT!! One night she even rolled off the cot, down the pillow and under our bed. This happened because our bed is super high on risers and she just slid right under there! She was up under the bedding yelling "Daddy, Mommy!!!". Looking back its pretty funny, but at the time is scared the heck out of us cause we couldn't find her in our sleep walking state. So, long story short we went today and ordered a bed. Its gonna take 6 weeks to get in so I am going to have time to make her room into a "big girl room". New paint, re-arranging, hopefully new light fixture, the whole 9 yards. Should be fun to do for sure.

Here's a picture of the bed we ordered. 

Her room is going to be done up super girly like this!!

Needless to say this is my new project for the next few weeks.

Where has the time gone?

Well, I obviously have not updated in MONTHS!! Summer is almost over and its time for ALABMA FOOTBALL!! Hooray, hooray, hooray!!! We are hopefully getting one more beach trip in before the fall weather sets in and I absolutely dread being cold. Cold weather is for the birds. Today was Reagan's first day of pre-school in the two year old room and she did great. Her best friends is Bay-ee (AKA Baylee). They are so stinkin cute together and Reagan has named all her baby dolls "Bay-ee". More to come tomorrow, Reagan is standing here yelling "bathtub" at me. I can take a hint when I hear one.....
