Heather wanted Regan to have a hair cut. This is her first one. We were afraid if we cut it we would be cutting the curl off.
Reagan did a pretty good job of holding still. Sometimes it was a moving target though.
Almost done! She looked older with her hair cut! It was cut though and it still curled!
Lots of jumping to grandma over and over. We also played motor boat, motor boat! My arms got a work out then!


We had fun with the pool. Grandma likes the clean water! We spend some time every day in the pool

Our fun days at the lake take some down time too. Reagan after a nap waking up snuggling with mom. She missed her Mom while she was gone.
Exhausted or else we were tired and we make her nap. She is so precious. She plays hard and then crashed for a 2 to 3 hour nap.
This was the sleeping arrangements when the air went out of the blow up bed!


Joe and Amber came for a few days to visit. It was so fun. Their kids are so well behaved and we really enjoyed them. When we weren't in the lake we were eating. We had chocolate pie with whip cream. Sometimes we had it separately.
Tanner wants to help, help eat something!
Reagan can always get Papa to go swim with her. They are good buddies.
Watching kids play in the lake. Yvette, Heather, Amber

Aaron joining in the fun
Keeping a close eye on Reagan. Thank heaven for life jackets, it lets you worry less.
Josh found a big clam shell. We have lots of them around, but ususally they are smaller.

Everyone was having fun. The canoe is always a big hit. The kayaks were great too! That is Adan Elder in the canoe, with Ben Isaksen and Jaydan Elder. Landon on shoe and Joshua in the Kayak.
I want t turn....little Tanner
Lets go...I can do it. How cute is he. He has big blue eyes and blond hair and smiles all the time, except in this picture..ha ha
everyone is longing in the water.
Heather enjoying the kayak, by her self or rescuing the water noodle.
hanging out with Dad. Reagan loves the water.

Having fun at the lake! Reagan's Daddy is throwing her up out of the water.
I want to jump in again, and again! I love my Dora life jacket.
everyone, come play with me at the lake, it is fun.
Papa said, if he builds it they will come.......

Ok, this blog is a mess!!!! It is back wards and sidewards.....We went up to Heathers, she went to camp, we brought Reagan home with us, then the kids came too. One day I will blog better....
Papa bought her a Dora life jacket, it is what every little girl needs. She was so excited and loved it. She would go in the lake with Papa and Aaron.
it beats this old plain one!
Then there was the pool we set up on the deck, and of course she wants Grandma to go in. The going in was great the getting up and down, not so great!
All my plants got lots of water! It was cute how she would keep wanting to water.





When we first arrived i brought Reagan a cupcake with pink icing and sparkles...because she was now sleeping in her big girl bed, in stead of the floor! We were proud of her.



Heather was the stake camp leader in her stake. Larry helped her get loaded up and off on Monday. We were there to help out with Reagan. Jerrel was in school but home at night.
Reagan started following Heather around rather closely, she knew what was going on. She is going to miss her mom. They are good buddies.
.




While mom was camping, we played in the pool and the sandbox. We went shopping and took walks. Reagan was so good. She minded well and we got along great! We did a lot of play dough. We also played hide and seek with "Teddy" a lot.






When Heather got home from camp we stayed a few days and then we took Reagan home with us. She stayed with us so the kids could get away and celebrated their anniversary. With twins on the way....it will be awhile before they can get away again.

About 4 hours into the trip Reagan asked, "Grandma, where DO YOU LIVE! She really did quite well for such a long trip. We stooped and let her play at a McDonald and let her run around.

We now have proof that Brittany graduated. She finally got her official diploma. We are so proud of both her and Aaron. Yeah BYU-I Way to go kids!
f


Preparing for the move to Georgia. Check out that Garage!

The Nethercotts are moving out! They have their new little apartment in Atlanta. They took several loads down. It was nice that they could get settled a few weeks before the baby. We went down too. As we got to Atlanta we had one of those down pours! it was awful. Everything got wet. Larry and I stayed in our wet clothes for hours. We returned that night to our place.



We had a baby shower for Brittany. It was fun. I talk about it later too because i am combining Heather's pictures with my pictures. I wish i were better at this blog stuff.
The food was great. We had a fun time and Brittany was thrilled with the shower.
Kathy Garner made her a bear! Who makes bears?????? Kathy does.
I gave her diapers and the big bibs that I make. We made a quilt together also but didn't bring it to the shower.

Some of my good friends gave Britts a baby shower. It was so cute! The cupcakes had little plastic pins in them, the sandwiches were in the shape of a baby bottle, it was so cute!

Brittany was given some flowers, that were rolled up baby socks. Very clever! We had fun. We were able to work the shower around when Heather could be there and Yvette Elder and Amber Isaksen came too.



This is Brittany ready to have a baby. A little Nethercott is on his way.
This is the only thing the animals left for us....one little, bitter, cantaloupe!

Aaron with our little cantaloupe.

One of our favorite families, the DeFancos is moving and we had one last hoo-rah with them. They came and swam and played on the lake and then we had dinner and games for a fun filled family night. We will miss them.....




This is what I choose to have over my archway. It is in brown vinyl. Thanks Heather for your help with this. It looks great.

Papa traps the squirrels and spray paints their tails , so he knows if they have come back. Then he takes them to live with their "moms and Dads" down the road. We now take them a few miles away as they have COME BACK! MAYBE THEIR MOMS AND DADS MOVED?


One very clever little acrobatic. We were having fun!

An early morning squirrel run with her Papa.

Who would let her do that??? Yes Grandma! We made cookies together!
