Carrots anyone?

We had another successful garden! John thinks I'm so crazy for putting all the work towards growing a garden every year because I don't like to eat over half the things I grow. I blame that on growing up on a farm...I just love watching things grow and being part of the process. We finally got the last things out of our garden this last weekend.
Raegan loves carrots. I'm always worried she is going to choke on one, but she seems to do ok and always wants another!





Its getting cold here...can you tell? At least it wasn't snowing this day!

Raegan...

Here are a few silly pictured of Raegan...
We had ribs for dinner the other night and I'm pretty sure they are her favorite. She went to town on them. We experienced her first crack in the head... Very traumatizing for me more than her. Luckily she didn't have to get stitches- mainly cause they couldn't hold her down. I'm kind of glad cause I didn't want them to shave part of her hair off that it took almost 15 months to grow. :)
Raegan loved huckleberry picking this year. Her and John ate way more than they picked, but we had a good time and have some stored away in the freezer, thanks to me.

Raegan will be 15 months next week. I can not believe it. She has queit the vocabulary and is great at coping what we say. Some of our favorite words and sounds of hers are- ban an an an a (with her tongue sticking out like a lizard) and cockooooo - cock a doodle do

Also I asked her if she wanted a banana this morning, she shook her head yes and than presided to show me the one she stored under the couch. Guess she has been storing her nuts away for winter- silly goose! She is very busy and one smart little girl. I just can't believe how fast kids grow!!!

Only in Idaho

3 years

John and I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I barely made it home in time for it. It was about 10:50pm. I was up in Washington and the Oregon coast with my family(post soon to come) and I tried to make it back in time. It was a LONG day of driving with just Raegan and I, But we made it! I can't believe how fast 3 years go by. I am so glad I get to spend forever with this guy! I Love him!
To Celebrate our anniversary with went to a Josh Turner concert out in Idaho Falls-just him and I! It was SO much fun to spend time with just us two, made me remember the good ol dating days! :)

Sweet Summer Time

We have had one busy but FUN summer, I just can't believe its already coming to a close. After my parents and Morgan came for a visit for Raegans birthday and the 4th or July, Morgan stayed with us until I took her back 2 weeks ago. We loved having her stay with us. I think I did and saw more in this Valley in 5 weeks than I have in 3 years. Some of our summer activities included: Fishing, camping, hunting squirrels, cookouts, hikes, motor bike rides, Drive-in, swimming, boating, bear world, floating the river, Lava hot springs, Alpine Slide, intense Volleyball games, hanging out with friends and tons of family visiting! It was a great summer!

1st Birthday

I can't believe my little girl turned one (July 5). We celebrated her birthday on the 3rd cause my parents weren't going to be here on her actual birthday. We had a small little party with some close friends and family. We ate dinner, had some yummy cupcakes and played an intense game of volleyball- girls vs. boys! It was a good time. Raegan loves all the fun gifts she got. She was some what interested in opening the presents but not long enough to open the whole thing. Raegan LOVED her cake, she dug right into it without hesitation. She had already test tasted the icing before we could get the cake on her tray to sing happy birthday. It was very entertaining to watch.



She took 12 steps on the 4th of July, but it wasn't till a few days after her birthday did she really start taking off with her walking (where she walks more than she crawls). She now has 11 teeth. I sure hope after this last molar comes through she will get a break for a bit. It is very painful for me... and her! :) She continues to surprises us with new words. She said thank you four times the other day, granite she was just mimicking me, but that's how she learns, right?! She is just a little copy cat and tries so hard to be a big. We love watching her grow up but are almost sad at the same time cause its going by SO fast!

June

June has been a very busy, but fun month! The first of the month we were in Washington. My sister Alison graduated from good 'ol Connell High, so it gave us a good reason to go home for a visit. Raegan and I were there for a little over two weeks. It was nice to be around family and in warmer weather, although it wasn't as warm as we would have liked, we still returned back to Idaho with a tan. She loves her Papa!My brother Randy recently got a dog, named Stetson. While we were up there Raegan found her Best Friend. Stetson and her were inseparable. No joke! She can even say his name. I know hard to believe-this girl is a talker though!! Stetson was so gentle with her for being just a pup. They even shared dog food-not a proud moment, but hey at least she wasn't in the toilet again for the 50 millionth time! Just this last Sunday we were Skype ‘in with my family and my mom held the dog up to the camera and Raegan freaked out. She started 'woofing', pointing at him and saying his name. Then she tried to grab the scream trying to touch him. Than when she realized that wasn't going to happened, she was looking behind the lab top trying to find where he was. It was really cute and funny all at the same time! John thinks we need a puppy now... I think not! hahaRaegan also turned 11 months while we were in WA. (like how her b-day is in a week and a half and I am just blogging about her being 11 months...) By 11 months she could say quite a few different words, some she picked up after she turned 11 months, these include mama, dada, nana, more, day, go, duck, dog, Stetson, eggo, ya, what, out, bye and a four letter one I won't mention on here (opps)...she also knows what a mountain lion, fish, duck, dog and motorcycle, 4 wheeler and truck say.
Raegan is now classified as a "short distance walker" HAHA she has been standing up and taking a step or two for about a month but when we returned home from WA she started taking like 5 or 6 steps than slowly sitting down. I wish she would just keep going because I'm getting sick of caring her all over the place! I'm hoping one of these days she'll just surprise us and take off.



Raegan LOVES the water! She especailly loved jet skiing On the 22nd John had his birthday... he is now 27! holy cow is that OLD! haha (He doesn't look it) The only good thing about marrying someone older is I always feel young-or younger at least! :) We had some friends over, had a weenie roast and played some volley ball for his birthday, It was a lot of FUN! The weather is finally warm here and we love it. My parents and Morgan are coming down for the 4th and Raegan’s birthday. Then Morgan is going to stay with us for the summer. We are so excited. She will be a professional weed’er once she leaves here! ….Someone has to do it because Raegan is no help, all she does is eats the dirt and licks the rocks. -This girl is going to have one strong immune system!
