Hoover Dam

We took a weekend trip to Hoover Dam. We went and saw the new bridge bypass and got to walk across the bridge. It's funny to think that something so cool is practically in our backyard. We thought it would be silly not to go check it out while we lived in Vegas.

If you look closely Raegan has a backpack with a leash on it. It's great because she thinks she is completely free, but really she isn't.

This is the view of the bridge from the road along the dam. The bridge is about 2000 feet long and 900 feet high.
The sight was so cool.
What a good lookin' family!

18 Month Milestones

Raegan is now 18 months old. This is a great age for many reasons. First, she gets to go to nursery. She really seems to like it and I really like those 2 hours when I don't have to worry about her. It makes church much more enjoyable. These pictures were taken the morning she turned 18 months old (January 21st). Her hair always looks like that when she wakes up. Crazy!
Raegan's response when I asked how old she was.
Raegan is getting closer to talking each day. She babbles constantly and sometimes I think she really is trying to have a conversation with me, I just don't know what she's saying. Raegan loves to "dance" and she is constantly running around. I signed her up for gymnastics class next week. Hopefully she'll love it. Raegan is tall for her age and super skinny, just like her dad. She's not a huge fan of eating right now. It's a constant struggle to get her to sit still long enough to eat. She constantly wants to "feed herself" with a spoon or fork, but she never actually ends up eating very much. We actually had to get out the straps for the high chair and now we have to tie her down. Her favorite food is pasta. And yes, this is what she looks like every time she eats it. It's ridiculously messy, but at least she eats it!
I heart pasta!
See Mom, I can do it myself! On a side note, yesterday we got a new computer. It is wonderful. We were even able to Skype both grandparents last night which we (including Raegan) really enjoyed. This computer is awesome and hopefully now I will blog more often!
