I'm 32! (Aug 14)

Reagan helped me decorate (aka eat the extra frosting off of) my cake. That's supposed to be a pool with a person and floaties in it with grass and lounge chairs surrounding it. She helped decide the design after seeing a pool themed cake at the bakery in the grocery store.
"What frosting!?"

The New Ride

On Aug 11, we traded Cam's old 3-broken-windowed, no air conditioning, '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee clunker for some government cash ... $3,500 off the price of this house on wheels! We're all pretty excited ... it's an 8-passenger Toyota Sienna with multiple ways to configure the seats. Ok, I know I'm a dork or need a life or both, but I just counted all the possible ways to configure the seats and there are 36! No joke! (unless I miscounted) If you're interested in how that's possible, I'll draw diagrams cause that would be another fun way, besides the amount of uneccessary detail I'm putting into this post, to procrastinate on what I really should be doing!

First Solid Food For Ryan - Aug 11th

I had listed the first 12 or 13 foods Reagan ate in her baby book, so I'm pretty much copying that for Ryan ... why reinvent the wheel? So here's Ryan's first taste of sweet potatoes:

and here was Reagan's ... a tad more thrilled, I'd say. (wow, same spoon ... we have several colors of those spoons, what a coincidence! I didn't plan down to that detail, I swear!)
Daddy/Daughter Camping Trip - Aug 1st

.. in the backyard! We had a camping theme at Stepping Stones one day and a couple days later, I bought a used Kelty Kids sleeping bag from another Mom and it all prompted this fun idea. So Cam pitched the tent in the grass, blew up the air mattress, instructed Reagan to get books to read and her princess flashlight, and they had a cozy night. At some point, Reagan said the wind was too loud, but when Cam told her he thought it was a relaxing sound, she decided to agree with that.
