Reagan has started her first dance class and it is the cutest thing EVER. I can honestly say that I'm not sure who's more excited about this: her or me.</div>

Her class is a ballet, tap, and tumble class offered through our local Parks and Rec department; we'll eventually move on to an actual dance studio, but while she's still this young, I wanted to have her be apart of these classes to make sure that she really does enjoy this. I don't want to be the kind of Momma that forces her daughter to dance if she doesn't really want to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The start of dance class also gave me the chance to deck Reagan out in some sweet dance gear. She ended up with three leotards, a tutu, tap shoes, and ballet slippers. She wants to wear her dance clothes all. the. time. </div>

Reagan's only attended three classes so far, but she's already remembering things that she's been taught and likes to tell us what moves she's doing as she's dancing to her beloved Bieber. From tippy toes to tapping feet to her ballet twirls, she's a little pro.

Reagan and Luke have really only ever been exposed to Disney or toddler-style music. I don't listen to radio stations while they are in the car; with the exception of the Adele CD that we listen to, everything else is kid friendly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In fact, when Keith asks me what my favorite current songs are to listen to, I usually have no answer since my usual music involves Jake and The Neverland Pirates, Imagination Movers, or a Baby Einsteins CD.</div>

We have recently made an exception and Reagan has officially now caught Bieber Fever. She is obsessed with the Baby, Baby song. I found an acoustic version on YouTube that she will listen to and watch all day long if I let her.</div>

Even though Luke technically started school last year (he was there for the last quarter), this seems like the "real" start to his school career for me. We got to experience all of the fun that is the Back To School Season: supplies shopping, clothes shopping, Meet the Teacher night, and having a crazy picture-taking Momma!</div>

Because Luke qualifies for Speech services, he also qualifies for transportation to and from school. Reagan and I enjoy dropping him off at school, but Luke LOVES riding the school bus home. He has a huge smile on his face everyday as he hops of the bus and runs to give me a huge bear hug.</div>

We were excited to have the Hildwine's over to celebrate the Fourth of July this year. We barbecued, had sparklers, and popped oodles of poppers. The kids were thrilled to get to hang out with some of their besties: Emma and Josh. These are a few of my favorite pictures:</div>

Keith and I were super excited to enroll the kids in swim lessons this year. Last year would have been really tough with one parent and two kids in a parent-tot class; this year Luke was old enough to be in a class on his own!</div>

For the first three weeks, we were golden. Both of the kids adored going and loved their teachers. They loved re-enacting the moves they learned in class and sang the songs all. the. time.</div>

And then the fourth week happened. I'm not sure what triggered it exactly, but Luke had suddenly had enough and began to cry each day when it was time to go and we had to force him into the water. And when Luke is unhappy, Reagan is unhappy. It was more than this one Momma could handle solo.</div>

The family and I did something that we *never* do: we took a compulsive trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Husband and I are very much planners, but when we were offered VIP tickets last minute to attend the AZ Cardinals Training Camp in Flagstaff, there was absolutely no way we were saying no.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I'm giving you fair warning here: this is a post loaded to the brim with pictures, but at least half are of my sweet kidlets. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!</div>

I wish that I could explain who all of the players are and everything that we got to experience, but I'm pretty sure that I might bore you to tears; not everyone is as big a football fan as myself. I can tell you though that our most popular and well-known player is Larry Fitzgerald {see picture above} and he was warming up right in front of us. Crazy.</div>

Because we were on the field with the VIP passes, the kids also had access to the equipment prior to the beginning of practice. Luke had a blast playing around, jumping, running, and loving the cooler weather.

Reagan was more excited to color. {Side note: Color Wonders from Crayola are our new favorite thing. LOVE.} I do have to say though, for messing with her schedule and feeding times, she stuck it out like a champ.</div>

Also because we were on the field, we were able to get autographs and pictures with the players. Luke is now the proud owner of a football covered in at least 10 autographs (and a few fingerprint smudges) that the Husband won't let him touch.</div>

I've met great new bloggy buddies, I've learned so much, and I'm enjoying a little "me" time. My days have been filled to the brim with logistical seat saving, craning to take pictures of amazing speakers, and quickly scrawling notes of all the gems that these geniuses have to offer.<br />
<br />
But if I'm being 100% honest, I feel like I'm missing out.<br />
<br />
I received a phone call from Keith last night during our dinner letting me know that Reagan went on the potty for the first time ever. And I missed it. And I know what you're thinking: why are you sad about poo? It's really not the poo that I'm sad about -- I can guarantee you that! I'm sad that I wasn't there to celebrate her new accomplishment.<br />
<br />
I feel awful that I missed such a big milestone. I miss my kids and husband terribly and this has helped cement to me that as much as I love and adore blogging, I love and adore my family WAY more. One of my goals for the Sweet Rose Studio blog that I'd set awhile ago was to attend more conferences so that I can learn and grow this fledgling business of mine. Now that I've had to leave the state to attend one, I'm determined that I will only ever being leaving my family for this once a year from now on.<br />
<br />
The message that is the theme for this conference is Be Authentic; Be You and I'm certain that in order for me to be that person, I need to remember what my main focus is: my family.<br />
<br />
I fly home on Sunday and can't wait to squeeze the beejesus out of the three most important people in my life, but until then, I'll enjoy myself and keep missing them.Katie {Sweet Rose Studio}http://www.blogger.com/profile/17097868595457312386noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925162423499588418.post-88362179469169631282012-04-15T00:47:00.000-07:002012-04-15T00:49:19.552-07:00fourIt's really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that my sweet Luke is four today. He has brought us innumerable smiles since he made his entrance into the world and it wouldn't be right if I didn't share his goodness with you!<br />

This picture was taken April 12, 2008, 10ish days overdue. Yep, you read that right. I was in my dear cousin's wedding that far overdue. It was rough and painful and beautiful and memorable all in the same moment. The wedding took place on a Saturday and I was induced the following Monday.<br />

After 19 hours of back labor, our little man arrived and we were over the moon. He has been such a sweet baby from the very beginning. His pregnancy was cake (minus being tired all.the.time.) and he started sleeping solidly through the night at 8 weeks, as soon as we let him. For his first two years, I could count on one hand how many times he woke during the night and how many times he screamed.<br />

Okay. Don't laugh, but Luke's birthday falls on April 15th which meant that right when the whole Tea Party situation was going on, that was Luke's first birthday. He attended his first (and only) Tea Party rally that day due to his proud Daddy being in a total politically charged phase at that point. Wasn't he just so precious?!?</div>

I feel like celebrating another birthday of my child is such a contradiction in my heart. On one hand, I couldn't be happier to celebrate such an amazing boy and how he's grown. On the other hand, I'm sad that he's growing up so quickly and that he's leaving the baby and toddler stage so fast. What's a momma to do? Love my little man and support his growth, his learning, and his loves.<br />
<br />
Happy birthday to my sweet little man.

It's a tradition each year for Keith and I to color Easter eggs with Andrea and Andrew and now that the kids are old enough to understand the process, we included them plus Andrew's cousin Adam. I always love getting to hang out with some of my fave people {yes, that's you too Andrew} and Easter egg hunting holds a special place in my heart.</div>

See, every year either Andrea of myself forgets to buy the vinegar. And each year we always have a goal to dye one egg black for Andrea's dad, Tom. I'm not even sure why we do that, but it's always funny to see how it ends up.</div>

School is going so well for Luke. He is loving all of the activities and fun things that he gets to do plus he's learning so much already. I need to take a picture of how he writes his name already. It makes a Momma proud. </div>

Yesterday was Luke's favorite day ever: he was able to ride the bus home for the first time. Ever since we found out he would be attending a public school in our district, he's been asking to ride the bus. When he ran to me with a giant smile on his face after getting off the bus yesterday, I was just as excited as he was. </div>

Oh my dear, Reagan. Should you continue to "spice" our lives in ways that we could have never imagined, be prepared for your Daddy and I to save pictures such as this one to share with any and all future boyfriends.<br />
<br />
See, when I go to pick you up from preschool and I think that you've had your face painted by your teacher and you've really just colored a fair portion of your exposed skin with "washable" markers, you've brought this on yourself.<br />

Yes, you are cute. Yes, you have more spunk than I've come across in a long while. Yes, you keep every part of our life entertaining. And yes, I love your sweet little personality more than I could have ever imagined. <br />
<br />
But all is fair in love and parenting, sweetheart and hopefully you'll consider that before you head off to complete your next sneaky act of cuteness.<br />

This past weekend we attended my sweet niece Parker's 2nd birthday party. The kids were in love with the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme and the piece de resistance of the shin-dig was the gorgeous Minnie Mouse cake. Both of my kidlets may have stuck their fingers in the back during lunch -- that's how excited they were.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, life doesn't always work out in your favor. See, I was sick. And Reagan has this fear of men and there were plenty to go around at the party that she had never met before. And it was crazy windy which didn't help my inability to breathe and Luke's asthma. And then there was the incident with Luke.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My brother Randy was a champ at helping out with the kids. It's tough when they run opposite directions and you are the only parent there. Randy stuck with Luke and was pushing him on the swings as Reagan was having a meltdown near the bounce house. When I looked back a minute or so later, Luke was gone. I carefully checked the playground, the pavilion where everyone was eating, the bounce house, the grassy area. No Luke. At this point, I'm now running around the park trying to find him, shouting his name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I pulled my phone out to call the police, I got a phone call from Randy. It turns out Luke had needed to go to the bathroom, so he took him back to Beth's house so he could go. He made sure to call me as soon as they got there and I appreciate that, but at this point, my nerves were shot and I was seconds away from bursting into tears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needless to say, we didn't make it much longer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We high tailed it out of there right before the singing of Happy Birthday and the cutting of the cake. Randy was nice enough to bring us some slices in the car before we left.</div>

Because Luke now qualifies for speech services, he gets to attend the elementary school in our neighborhood. Reagan has also reached the age where she can attend a mini-preschool class once a week through the Gilbert Parks & Rec. Monday was the first day for both of them. And let's be honest: Momma barely held it together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luke and Reagan were champs. Neither of them took a second look back or had any kind of struggle. Myself, on the other hand, had the tears well up and made the sappy phone call to Keith so he could keep me in check.</div>

Each day she surpirses us with new and hilarious things that she does and says, and while on the topic of her speech, it has been improving by leaps and bounds the past few months. The girl who had to have her speech evaluated is now right on track with her speech development. Reagan is attempting new words every day and becoming more fluent with the words that she already uses.<br />

I am more in love with this little ball of spitfire than I ever thought possible. Sometimes I take a moment to thank God for blessing us with such a wonderful, beautiful daughter.<br />

<del></del><br />
<del>crying</del> quality time the week prior to the party designing, cutting, sewing, altering, pinning, and swearing to make her party dress. It turned out about 87% like I had originally imagined, so I consider that a success for my first dress attempt!</div>

I love how her birthday banner turned out and it was pretty simple to put together; that alone makes it a winner in my book! I cut the burlap flags by hand and used by ever-trusty Silhouette to cut the circles and letters out. Using pop up glue spots for the letters and hot glue for everything else, this went together really easily.</div>

The art station was a huge hit with the kidlets. I found tree and flower cardboard cutouts months ago on clearance at Michael's {yes, I did plan this party for a solid 6 months} and knew they would be a great fit. Using art supplies from the local dollar store, the kids went to town making their little masterpieces.</div>

No one walked away empty-handed from the party. I took flower seeds and wrapped them with burlap and fabric and tied it off with colored raffia. Easy-peasy and something that can be used to remember my baby girl.</div>

As I've been dealing with one medical appointment/surgery/procedure after another, Andi and Andrew have been so sweet to take the kids on more than one ocassion. The kids are even more excited about it than I am; I think they secretly like them more than me.<br />
<br />
Andi knows what a picture fanatic I am and has made sure to take pictures of them each time. I love that even though I wasn't with my kids, I still get to see what kinds of fun they were having without me.<br />

I made Luke make me a big promise tonight: he'll always give me hugs and snuggle me. I specifically asked that he remembers this when he's a teenager and he responded with a giggly yes. See, Luke asks both Keith and I multiple times a day to snuggle and it's such a sweet request; how can we ever say no?<br />
<br />
I know he'll never recall this conversation years from now, but at least I'll have written record of his undying love for me when he was three years old. <br />

A giggly yes is an iron clad agreement of promises in my book.Katie {Sweet Rose Studio}http://www.blogger.com/profile/17097868595457312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925162423499588418.post-6357776143477485742012-01-06T21:43:00.000-07:002012-01-07T09:40:22.673-07:00guess who's coming...Christmas with kids is seriously one of the best things ever. Ev-er. The way they are on their {almost} best behavior for the month leading up to the big day, the way their eyes sparkle at the mere mention of Santa, and the lack of sleep the night before the Big Day. <br />
Santa was nice enough to bring a Cars bike with matching helmet for Luke and dress up clothes and shoes for our resident princess, Miss Reagan. We've kept with the tradition of having our families over to watch the kidlets open their gifts and to exchange the gifts we've gotten for each other. We finish up the morning with a big, yummy breakfast and while the kids play with all of their new toys, my dad passes out on the couch.<br />

Plus, a pumpkin patch always make for a great photo opportunity. Here are some of my favorite pictures from "The Patch" this year.<br />

Well, at least the first of up to three possible rounds of shots. I survived. I was once again a solid 30 years younger than any other patient in the surgery center. The recovery the day of the shots is not on my high priority "Let's Do That Again!" list. Ick.<br />
Thankfully, I have two ridiculously cute and crazy kidlets who never cease to keep me on my toes. Here are some of the gems I've heard/experienced this week:<br />
<br />
Luke enjoys singing along with Adele, although he's rewritten some of her lyrics. <em>Rumor Has It</em> has now become <em>MooMoo Has It</em> and it's futile to try to convince him that he's not singing it correctly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tejlPzhSsH8/TwaE6WVYFOI/AAAAAAAAEa8/VRcHiAgnerI/s1600/Sunday+Smiles+Triptych.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tejlPzhSsH8/TwaE6WVYFOI/AAAAAAAAEa8/VRcHiAgnerI/s320/Sunday+Smiles+Triptych.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
On the subject of singing, Luke also loves to make up his own songs too. As we were baking cookies today, he began to sing a song about how we were making cookies for Daddy, not for Santa, because Santa is too full from all of our cookies he ate before.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Reagan went from absolutely no words at 18 months to talking more than we can keep up with now. Her favorite words: mine, yucky, momma, cookie, and EAT. And yes, eat is pronounced just like that. EAT.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01NRes4alGM/TwaFuZZrwxI/AAAAAAAAEbU/XV5fU96L_g0/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01NRes4alGM/TwaFuZZrwxI/AAAAAAAAEbU/XV5fU96L_g0/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Food cannot be left out where Reagan can sniff it out or climb to reach it. If she even hears you mention a word that involves food of any kind, she come running as fast as her little legs can carry her. Luke has left some food from a meal or a snack on occasion and has come back later to eat it and found that it's gone. Two guesses where it ended up...<br />

Reagan is convinced that she's ready to use the big girl potty. She gets super excited, convinces me to take off her pants and diaper, and then all she does is pass gas. That's it. She refuses to do anything else in there. Her day will come soon enough.Katie {Sweet Rose Studio}http://www.blogger.com/profile/17097868595457312386noreply@blogger.com0
