Surprise!

Raegan and I have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. We have been planning a surprise birthday party for daddy! And it worked! On saturday I told Josh that I was having a jewelry party and sent him out for the day to the air and space museum. While he was gone I, with some help from my mom and sister in law quickly decorated the house, prepared food and invited in the guests. When Josh got home from the museum we were all waiting for him and he was very surprised. His birthday was actaully Oct 7th so it completely through him off by having the party 3 weeks after his birthday. We had a nice time celebrating Josh's birthday with family and friends! Happy 30th Birthday Josh (daddy)! We all love you very much!

Waiting for daddy to come home!

Surprise!

"why is everyone yelling at daddy?"

Lots of food!

Big Day!!!

Raegan had a very busy but exciting day today. Josh took off work and we all drove down to Richmond to see Sarah Palin at a rally at the Richmond International Speedway. It was a long day but Raegan did great waiting in line and playing in the grass as we waited for the rally to begin. We got to hear Sarah Palin speak ( and hear Hank Williams Jr. sing). And then afterwards we got to meet Sarah Palin. I got to talk to her while she was signing autographs and then when I was holding Raegan she asked if she could hold her. So Sarah took Raegan and we got some great pictures of her with the govenor ( and hopefully future Vice President). It was so neat to be at a rally and especially to get to meet Govenor Sarah Palin. She is a very friendly, sincere and down to earth person ( I think you will be able to tell this from the pictures of her with Raegan).

This is my third attempt to create this post. I have somehow managed to lose the prior 2 posts. So hopefully this one will stay.

Anyway. This past weekend we got to go out as a family and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We went to an apple orchard with our neighbors on saturday to pick our own apples! Now it's time to make apple sauce, apple crisp, apple pie! I love the fall!

This weekend we also put Raegan in a chicken costume. I bought a costume on clearance a while back and came across it while cleaning Raegan's closet. She was the cutest chicken I have ever seen! She even flapped her "wings" and made some chicken noises. It was at one time going to be her halloween costume but I think I am going to make her a different one. But I posted some pics for all to see!

Raegan turned 8 months this last thursday! She is growing so fast! She is now doing the army crawl and trying to get into everything! She is enjoying walking around the kitchen in her walker and Kona is enjoying the fact that Raegan's percentage of cheerios that fall on the floor is much greater than those that reach her mouth!
