Regan's Birthday


Our little Regan Roo turned 6 a couple of weeks ago!  She is growing up fast and is quite the girl.  We love her so much!!!  Since life was especially busy around her birthday, we kept things simple with a party at the park.  Thankfully, Regan is very easy to please and likes everything!  Several of her friends were getting ready to move away, so it was so fun to have them come and celebrate one more time.
In keeping with tradition we played some fun water games at the park (even though it was a bit chilly!)




We are so thankful to have wonderful friends to celebrate with!

Regan wanted a doughnut cake just like her big sis. I love how she is grinning at her silly daddy and his friend.



On her actual birthday, we went to Chuck E. Cheese and celebrated together as a family. Regan always gets balloons on her day...it's another tradition for her.





Can you tell that this girl doesn't mind a bit posing for pictures? I love it.

The one thing Regan really wanted for her birthday was a bigger bike...and she was thrilled to finally get one...along with some other surprises. Cole had gotten her an umbrella and had told her about it several times! He was so glad when she finally opened it!




 We love our Regan Roo so much!  Some things to remember about her at this age:
-I never thought I would describe her as this, based on her first few years of life, but she is really easy going.  Some days I kind of forget about her because she just goes with the flow and is willing to do pretty much whatever.
- Another surprise given her babyhood...she is an excellent sleeper and eater!  When she gets tired, she says she is ready and goes right to bed.  She can sleep anywhere and has even taken some turns in the basement bedroom.  She will also eat about anything, except for veggies.
-She is finally ready for kindergarten...having her do another year of preschool turned out to be a great thing. Her confidence has increased as well as her academic level. 
-This girl is social!  Having always been surrounded by people, she loves to play with anyone- siblings, neighborhood friends, etc.
-Regan is good at all things involving body coordination- dancing, bike riding, soccer, etc.  She loves to run and be active.
-She is pretty spoiled around here and has her dad wrapped around her finger.
-This girl can be stubborn...you don't see it much, but when her stubborn streak comes out, watch out!   The other night I asked her to pick up a baseball bat before we came in and she decided she wasn't going to do it.  I put her in the garage and wasn't going to let her in until she did.  That girl waited me out for 30 minutes!  In the end, she did put the bat away, but I was seriously gearing up for a long night!

Happy Birthday Regan!  It's going to be a great year!
