He says "Hi Buddy" to Daddy since thats what Daddy says to him & I love it

He can say his full name Logan Beckett Hawk

He will meet with his preschool this fall in preparation for his first day in January :o

He just started to throw "fits" /show some emotion when things frustrate him

He would stay "out-back" ALL day if I let him

She wakes up between 6-7:30am every morning
She goes down for a nap between 12-1pm for 2-3hrs every afternoon

Today

Today Reagan decided to mega nap. She always seems to mega nap on the days Logan has therapy.  So I waited till the last minute possible to wake her up & go. She's still half asleep in this picture - hence the bow still being in her hair - but I love it.

I love how when I look at this picture I can smell her sleepy skin and her paci breath and feel her arms around my neck. 

 

Babylove. 

Out back got a little more awesomer...

...when we discovered the slide fit perfectly over the side of the pool!

 
He went down lightening fast when we let him go down on his bare bum :o

Raspberry Pickin'

Once Daddy got home from work yesterday we all went to collect some raspberries :)  They both kinda figured out how to pick them off but just as soon as did they also learned that Mommy & Daddy were picking them and putting them in a bucket so why not just camp out around the bucket and stuff our faces ?!

So wonderfully close

Reagan and her wonderful still a baby chubby cheeks and beautiful little chiclet teeth

Logan and his wonderful I'm such a toddler boy dirt under his nails and finger up his nose

A new house!

We had been eyeing this bad boy in one of our neighbors yards for a while now.  I knew their kids were older and by the looks of the playhouse it hadn't been touched in years.  Kevin finally gave me the gusto to knock on the door to see if our kids could put it to better use. We offered some money they offered to throw in the slide and I think we both made out with a pretty sweet the deal.

A day and a good scrub later look who moved in :)

Good & Sandy

Continuing to take the kiddos to the beach to practice building sandcastles so come September when we go to Myrtle Beach the Hawk family will win 1st place in the Sandcastle competition.

and yes, that is Logan walking on the beach :)

She held his hand on our walk today :)

One year later

My attempts at replicating this picture taken exactly a year ago....

Between Reagan looking like she was thinking about a million other things that would be more fun to do and Logan's hand forever in his diaper I'd say last years picture turned out better....eh, I tried.

Riding lawn mower - take 2

Everyone gets their chance to help Moma mow the lawn.  Logan had his last September (click here to see).  Reagan's turn was today.  She was cranky and Logan was happy as pie digging in his hole - so in she went and off we went.  SHE FELL ASLEEP... 5 mins in and slept the entire 40mins it took me to finish.

I attribute it to the amount of times I mowed the lawn while pregnant.  Hearing the hum of the lawn mower probably put her right back in the womb.

Just Reflecting

Our house is quiet.  It's the first time in over 2 weeks we don't have a visitor and I miss them.  The kiddos miss them.  Lucky for us - in one month we fly to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week long vacation with ALL the fam. !!!!

Good Cookin' Moma!

Night Night
