Exciting morning here at our house! We woke up and the turtle is starting to come out of its shell!!! We can see the tip of its two front feet and its mouth! This was the start of our day.

We went to town and had lunch at the park, then we walked and Reighlyn rode her scooter a little bit. We walked over to the pond across from the park and a man had his motor boat out in the pond driving it around so we sat and watched. It was neat to watch.

We went to the library and Reighlyn played on the computer for a little bit and then we picked out some books to check out. Also printed out some coloring pages, and crafts to make at home! After the library we went and had frostys at wendys and played I Spy while we ate our frostys!

What a wonderful Mommy and daughter day we had today!

We went to the aquarium that is about an hour away, and it was very fun! We attended toddler time, which we learned about mermaids and made mermaid crafts. After that we explored the aquarium and watched the live dive! Reighlyn loved putting her hand to the glass and the diver put his hand up to hers! She thought that was great! We went into the gift shop and found a special little something to buy... A turtle egg! Boy, oh boy were we excited about this buy! You put the egg in water and watch it hatch into a turtle and then the turtle grows big, this is just a toy of course... not a real turtle.

After we left the aquarium we had lunch, that we paked, in their wildlife viewing area and just enjoyed the nice weather. Then we headed across the road to the ocean! It was a little walk from where we parked, but it was nice, and the beach was wonderful! We were the only ones there, and we built 2 sand castles, took some pictures, and watched wild dolphins swimming and coming up out of the water! It was fun to see the wild dolphins so close to shore right in front of us! We found lots of shells that we decorated our sand castles with and then we headed back to the car to go home!

Once we got home, the excitement started! We put the turtle egg in water, and Reighlyn was watching and waiting... for the egg to hatch! Lol I told her it would be about 48-72 hrs before the turtle would come out. She kept going back to the jar looking at it still... All night up until bed time!

Dance and gymnastics today! Tuesdays are her mornings out. We had Steven today, and when Reighlyn got picked up from Dance and gymnastics class, we grabbed lunch at dairy queen and headed home.

We enjoyed most of the day outside! Reighlyn and Steven played and ran around. Reighyln kicked a ball all around an Steven thought it was great to chase her, and she loved him chasing her. Then Reighlyn (the big helper she is) pushed Steven all around the yard in her little push car! We staye dout there mostly until Steven got picked up! Then we headed to the commisary to get some groceries to stock the house with some food!  It wasnt crazy like we thought it would be! (Usually its crazy there on payday!)

We came home cooked, and then got ready for bed!

Happy Valentines Day!
We had friends come over and hang out with us today and we exchanged valentines cards with them. We had wonderful weather and played outside all day, including having lunch outside too! Reighlyn got to ride her Mustang around in the yard with her friends too! (Its been a while since we have pulled that out, due to the winter!)

Reighlyn got a cute bear (she named it Kaylee), a huge box of makeup, a gumball machine, princess candy, and a drama queen heart of chocolates! She loved all her Valentines goodies she got from Dad and Mom.

Reighlyn and I went to church this morning, and then afterwards we ate subway for lunch! It was a nice day today!

After lunch we went over to our friends house, and Reighlyn played outside in the bounce house, and then went for a ride around the neighborhood in a wagon. Mr. Ryan pulled them, and Reighlyn fell asleep! That girl never takes naps! :) Guess the weather was so nice and she was playing so hard she decided to take a little nap in it! Then they went to the playground and played for a bit. It was a nice fun outside day!

When we got home Reighlyn and Dad played outside with sparklers they found in the closet and Reighlyn rode her scooter for a bit before getting ready for bed!

Dad cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast for us this morning, and Reighlyn actually slept in a little... until 8:30am! (She is usually up around 7-730am) After we had breakfast Dad had to go into work, and we headed to town!

We went shopping and got some decor for Reighlyns room, some extra sheet sets, and then went to the nail salon for Reigh Bug to get her nails painted! She loves to go to the salon and get her nails done! She got them pink and purple with glitter on top!

After the nail salon, we went and looked around target and got Reighlyn some cute cowgirl boots, and she picked out Daddy a Valentines gift! :) Then we headed home, and cleaned Reighlyns room! That girl had her room so unorganized, and it was driving me insane!!! We finally, after 2 hours got it all put back together, correctly... and then we proceeded with cleaning the entire house! Dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, and dad did the bathrooms for us!

Woke up and stayed home all day! Steven came over and Reighlyn pretty much watched television most of the day (very rarely does this happen) Mom didnt feel very good, and was hurting (pregnancy).

Reighlyn got to play on the computer for a little bit, and then bugged mom while she was getting ready to go to the ladies tea tonight at church. She had a little melt down as I was out the door, because I told her to have fun and see her later... she didnt come when I told her I love her and give me a hug, she decided that she wanted a hug and kiss before I left so she had a melt down. This explains the Photo for today! (of course I kissed and hugged my little princess before heading out to tea)
