September was the month we were eagerly looking forward to all year! It
was packed full of fun and adventure.
We started the month off with the big wedding for Jonathan and Melissa.
Raegan was definitely primed and ready for her starring role as flower girl for
Uncle Boogs’ wedding! She practiced wearing her flower girl dress almost daily
and was beyond excited. I was a bit concerned about her performance as she is
in the midst of the wonderful 2-year old phase, so in my mind it was a hit or
miss situation. But, of course she wowed us all and pretty much stole the show.
Until this wedding Raegan was not too keen on having her photo taken
and would wither scowl at the camera or completely look away. Capturing a good
shot was hard work. For some reason, the week of the wedding she turned a
corner and turned up the sassiness! She would smile on command, pose when
requested and gave us a week full of fantastic photos! I can’t wait until the
professional shots are available!
Not only did she glam it up for the cameras, but like I said, she
basically stole the show. She was a perfect flower girl, performing her duty to
perfection! And to top it off, she made the groom cry as she strolled down the
aisle. Can’t get much better than that. On top of all of this, she had the best
time of her life with all the family and danced her booty off with her cousins.
It was so fun to see her enjoy herself so much…and a rude awakening to have her
shoo me away and not want me around as she was playing with her cousins!
Once we had the wedding behind us all that was on our minds was Hawaii,
Hawaii and Hawaii!! Thanks to our generous parents John and Vickie, just a few
short weeks after the wedding we took off for Kauai on a fantastic vacation
full of fun, relaxation and the beach, beach, beach!!
Again, Raegan had the time of her life with her cousins Austen and
Nolan. It was so wonderful to see the kids get to spend that much time together
and have so much fun. We were nervous how she would do in the ocean, but each
day she got more and more confident and brave in the water! It was so fun to
watch and to be a kid again ourselves. The trip was full of sand castles, wave
jumping, shell searching and family fun! Now back to reality it’s hard to
adjust, but so great to have all the memories!
To top off the month of fun, we took Raegan to Bishops Farm for some
Fall fun! I had promised her all week we would take her to the zoo and she was
so excited! But on Saturday, all I wanted to do was have a lazy morning, so I told
her we would go after her nap. During her nap I decided to check the zoo’s
schedule and to my surprise they were closing at 1pm that day. Mom of the year
award!! I was so bummed, so I had to come up with some activity with animals to
not disappoint. That’s where Bishops Farm came in and saved the day. Not only
did they have a petting zoo, but there was a hay jumping area, train ride, pony
ride and pumpkins galore! Again, Raegan had a blast and I was saved from the
zoo’s early closing.
Enjoy this month’s photos and videos of our crazy lil Raegan enjoying a
month full of adventures!!
