Matching Game

Reese's new favorite activity is a matching game with her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cards. She's obsessed with finding matching characters, shapes, and colors -- especially the Pluto cards with pink triangles!

Academy Awards

Reese enjoyed wearing a fancy outfit, eating Oreo cookies, and dancing around while watching the Academy Awards. A fun night!

Underwater World

Daddy was on vacation today, so we looked for something fun to do as a family. We decided to go to Underwater World at the Mall of America beause Reese is currently obsessed with the Finding Nemo and all the sea life in that movie -- whales and manta rays are her favorites!

Aubrey's Baptism

Cousin Aubrey Lyla was baptized today, and we are honored to be her Godparents. Aubrey looked beautiful in her dress from the 1800s! Despite a big snowstorm, her entire family was there to celebrate this special day.

Whisker Whirl

We had a fun evening at Whisker Whirl, a fundraiser for the Animal Humane Society. Reese enjoyed a silent auction and fancy dinner with 500 people and 250 dogs! Reese was definitely the youngest animal lover there, and she loved it - especially all the kisses she received from the puppies!

Can I?

Lately, Reese has been saying "Can I?" for nearly everything. She says, "Can I have a drink?", "Can I put Malcolm down the slide?", "Can I rock-a-bye?", "Can I read this book", "Can I have goldfish?", etc, etc, you get the idea. I don't think she's really asking my permission. She just wants to talk all day long!

G&G Haag

Grandma and Grandpa Haag took care of Reese today while I was at work. They had great fun in the morning playing with Libby, taking her dolls on a pretend shopping trip, and more. Reese became sick in the afternoon so they just relaxed and read every single book that Reese owns.

After Reese's Ibuprofen kicked in that evening she told me, "I had fun with Grandma and Grandpa!"

Valentine's Day

Reese spent Valentine's Day at Heather's house. She had fun dancing, reading books, playing critters with her friends Ellie and Carly. They are all such sweet girls!

Pretty

I put this new outfit on Reese today and told her she looks very pretty. She responded, "I go show Daddy. He's pretty too!" She really said this... I can't make this stuff up!

Sickies

Todd and Reese have both been sick this week. Reese has a little cold, but luckily her chest sounded good and ears showed no signs of infection at the doctor. Todd is sicker with cold symptoms plus is weak and has the chills. Reese and I have been avoiding him this week to try not to catch his bug. But, Reese missed her daddy tonight and wanted to snuggle on the couch.
