Tonight is the first Pens playoff game!
At PALS, Reagan wore her new Penguin shirt and made a Pens Pennant.
She is posing with her friend Zach.

Down on the Farm
Reagan and I went on a field trip with Jocelyn and her Preschool class today! We went to a real working farm...Spring House Farm. I guess it's really a dairy farm because other than cows, the only animals I saw were a couple of pigs and two dogs.
The field trip started out on a school bus! This was exciting for the girls!
When we got to the farm, we were warned that cows aren't the best smelling creatures and that they have no shame in relieving themselves in front of a crowd. Boy were they right. It seemed that all those cows actually did was eat, pee and poo. Constantly. And being as large as they were, you really had to take a step back to make sure it wasn't splashing on you.
She even milked a cow!
Reagan loved the bus ride to the farm. Once we were there she wanted to be held. She is not a big fan of animals in general. They make her feel a little uneasy. The cows were huge, and dirty, and they really did stink. Reagan would look at them, but she must have a pretty sensitive nose when it comes to foul odor because she spent a lot of time with her nose pressed against my shoulder and saying, "uggggg"!
I would have to say that it was interesting to learn how the cows are milked and the process of pasteurization and bottling, but seeing and looking at the cows that make that milk that I put into my cereal every morning was kind of--for lack of a better term--yuck. They are really dirty and stinky. I really don't want to think about the smell of that farm while I'm eating my breakfast.
Overall, it was a fun trip for Jocelyn. Haha. The Spring House store was very cute, clean, and was not stinky at all. They had a lot of yummy-looking food for sale, and the ice cream cones we had for dessert were delicious. Reagan enjoyed her bus ride home!

The BEST find at Target!
(Reagan, I hope you are not embarrassed one day that I have a blog post about this, but it's just too good to ignore!)
I have posted before about Reagan's obsession with all things boy, especially when it comes to her clothes. Well, that obsession doesn't end with the clothes you can see. We have been at Target in the past and Reagan always notices and wants the boy underwear. You know, the cool underwear. The underwear with Batman, Superman, and all the other superheros. She wants them. I have no problem with her wearing T-shirts with Spiderman, Superman, and other boy-like things. I have actually purchased some for her and they are her absolute favorite shirts, but I just cannot put my little girl in boy underwear. They are REALLY for boys and not made for little girls (if you know what I mean). So the answer is always, "Sorry Reagan, but those underwear are ONLY for boys." She is always disappointed, but she handles it okay.
Yesterday while we were shopping at Target I spotted these:
Anyone who was around me and Reagan when we noticed these underwear would have thought we won the lottery. Or found a $100 dollar bill lying on the ground. Reagan was SO excited and I was SO happy to have found girl underwear that "fit the bill" for cool underwear in Reagan's eyes. It doesn't seem like much--I mean it is only underwear--but these underwear had to be designed with Reagan in mind. I paid $9.99 for the package of 7 underwear. I probably would have paid $19.99...just because they are SO Reagan!
Crafty Reagan
Reagan is really starting to get interested in crafts and drawing. Today at PALS she made a caterpillar and a rainbow. She was very proud of her projects!
Jesus Hands
A few weeks ago as I sat at the computer, Jocelyn was standing next to me with her spiral-bound notebook, full of her drawings, and placed it atop the desk and traced her hands. When she was done tracing she added little circles with dots inside to each palm. When I asked her what the circles were she replied that they were nails. My first thought (shamefully?) was that she meant fingernails, and I said something along the lines of, "You are so silly--you know that's not where fingernails go". Jocelyn simply responded that they weren't finger nails--they were nails, like how Jesus had nails in his hands from the cross. I found it so interesting, and still do. She really learned a lot about Jesus and the Crucifixion and Resurrection this Easter season. She learned a lot at school and at church, and asked LOTS of questions, and now traces her hands and always adds the stigmata. Jocelyn is a thinker. She's always thinking and I guess Easter really made her think about Jesus and what he went through and she continues to think about it now. Here is the picture she drew today.
St. Jude Trike-A-Thon
Jocelyn participated in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at her school yesterday. She raised $220 dollars for the hospital. When she was asking for donations she would tell them this when they asked what the money was for: "For the doctors who take care of kids with cancer so they can help them get better." Jocelyn is such a sweet little girl and is so giving. She was very excited to ride her bike with her friends at school so she could help the doctors help the sick children.

T-Ball Season!
Jocelyn has decided to play T-ball this year so Daddy has started to practice with both girls in the backyard. Both Jocelyn and Reagan are pretty good hitters! Too bad 2-year-olds can't play!

Becoming Godparents
Yesterday Todd and I became Godparents!
We were so honored to be asked by Colleen and Jimmy to be Luke's Godparents and we feel so Blessed to be a special part of his life!
Luke is such a great baby. He took in the church and mass, and when it came time for his Baptism her decided it was time to become vocal. It was perfect timing. I think everyone loves to hear the baby when it comes his time to be on stage!
It was such a sweet moment when the Priest held Luke up and welcomed him as the newest member of the church!
We all posed for some pictures after Mass
Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious luncheon and celebration at Buca Di Beppo.
