Ferguson's Lately

Needless to say, we have been very busy around here. I have cleaned the house countless times...with Brett's help! (MUCH NEEDED!) There have been a few days that the girls daycare was closed for one reason or another, so we have gotten to spend the day together. I have to say that I love it as much as the girls do!

Although Grace and Reagan sleep in the same room every night with little to no problem, nap time is another story! They play instead of nap of I have a great solution! Both girls are just fine with the nap time sleeping. Grace gets her bed and Reagan gets a mat in the den. Believe it or not, she falls asleep in minutes and will sleep for 1 to 2 hours. I even clean and it does not bother her.

We put in Greer's car seat and moved around the other two, they love it. Grace is in the middle and Reagan is still behind the driver. This is the best arrangement for getting the girls in and out for daycare!

Celebrating with Granddaddy, Honey, and Tay-Tay

Thanks to Honey, we had GREAT Birthday Hats. I thought for sure Grace and Reagan would NOT want to put them own. Boy was I WRONG. We all had to put them on and take turns Singing Happy Birthday to everyone with a January or February birthday. Somehow Taylor and Brett did not have to wear a hat. I thank we sang Happy Birthday for more than 30 minutes. The girls loved it!

Next it was gift time! My parents went a little overboard with all the presents. It is official, there is nothing left for the girls in a toy store and we do not already have at home! lol

Grace takes after her Uncle Bradley and loves to have the LAST present to open. As you can tell from this picture, she also loves to pose for pictures with all of the presents!

After gifts we went to lunch. Soulshine is a must anytime we have visitors from out of town. The girls went shopping after lunch and the boys returned home to work on the Honey-Do List. Reagan is such a Granddaddy's girls that she began to cry when he was getting in the car so she dumped the shopping to go with him!

That night we had a GREAT dinner. Granddaddy grilled steaks. Honey made twice baked potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and a salad. I made our appetizers, crab stuffed mushrooms! Needless to say...everything was delicious and nothing was left!

After dinner it was bedtime for everyone! Reagan would only chill is Granddaddy was holding her. This was how she feel asleep.

Reagan Turns 2

Reagan was a very excited Birthday Girl. Her favorite thing was to have you sing Happy Birthday Reagan. On her birthday she would run between Brett and me to get us to sign it to her. I think we sang at least 100 times!

Grace quickly reminded Reagan that you get presents on your birthday. So at 7 a.m. Reagan was ready to open her presents. She did allow Grace to help. If you know Grace than you know she did more than help. They were both very excited about the gifts Reagan got. Grace got a Mister Potato Head for Christmas and they have been fighting over it ever since. So Reagan got her very own for her birthday. The girls played with their own for about 2 hours that morning and even more that night.

Reagan's other present was a movie, Tarzan. Reagan loves signing and animals and this move has both. Again we had a hit, she loves this movie.

Unlike Grace who planned for weeks about what type of cake she wanted to order for her party at school, Reagan wanted nothing to do with an ordered cake. She quickly told me that she wanted to MAKE her Happy Birthday Cake, as she calls it. So Reagan and I made some cupcakes. I am not sure who had more fun between the two of us! It was a blast. As you can see Reagan was the taste tester.

We were told by her teachers the next afternoon that the cupcakes were a hit. I can see a lot of Tay-Tay in Reagan with the painting and baking skills she already has at age 2. I KNOW I am in TROUBLE!

Grace is 3!!!!

I can not believe that 3 years ago today Grace was born. She has been a joy to have as a daughter. She is growing each and everyday. She was very excited to be turning three until this morning. This morning she woke up crying and said she did not want to be three because she still needed her passy. That's right folks...this mama is making her baby well big girl give up her passy on her birthday! She went all day without it and Daddy was strong when he picked her up from school and she asked for it. Bedtime was another story. She finally went to be around 10:30 or so. She really did not fuss and just found every reason in the world to get out of bed. We shall see how operation No Passy goes!


As for Grace's party....because I was scared I would be on bed rest by now from my history, we decided it would be best to have her party at school this year. She had a blast. Her teacher decorated her chair with balloons and she wore a Birthday Crown all day. If you know Grace then you know that was right up her ally. She had a Princess birthday cake to share with the class. She was so excited!

Reagan had a hard time at first when Grace was opening her presents. With Christmas being so close and Reagan so young she really did not understand why she did not get a gift too. But Big Sister did not disappoint. She allowed Reagan to help her and even let her be the first to hold a few of her new toys.

After such a great Christmas what did she get. Well Christmas made it easy. The girls got Toy Story 1, 2 and 3. So she wanted the figures from the movie. And that is what she got. She was sooooo excited when she opened them!

Greer's Bedding

Well Greer's bed is up and her bedding it in place. I have her closet and clothes put in its place. But the rest of the room still needs a little work. I need to get some bedding for the twin bed and maybe a curtain for the window. I am hope that Taylor will once again come through with some great art for the wall!!! I cannot believe that she will be here so soon. We go Monday to see her and her growth progress. I wish we could have an ultrasound ever visit!!!

Christmas Pictures

Why NO Pics!?!?!?!

I cannot get any pictures to upload...I hope Brett has this fixed by morning!!! Christmas Pictures, Grace's birthday, and Greer's bedding will be added asap!!!!
