once upon a time, a sister called me. i could hear nothing on the other end but squeaks. this made me nervous, being as if she was choking on something i could do nothing. and on that same note, why call me if you're choking? moral support? anyway. finally i heard a heHEEEEEEE! all of you who know michelle know this piercing yet sweet tonal range. :) she told me that reagan and i had to check my mail. she was an elated creater of a masterpiece. after viewing, we could not stop from tears, and our abs hurt a lot. this folks, is her masterpiece.

"It takes a man to make a man" a wise man once said to me. i asked, "how is this so?" and he replied, "because i said so." i inquired to know the wise mans true name and he replied "Chadwick Calvert." the earth quaked and winds howled... or maybe that was the train passing by work...

for all those who guessed that we would be having a girl, im sorry. i was probably the one who persuaded you to think that. turns out i dont have any super-powers to tell the gender of a pre-natal baby.

we are excited and extremely grateful for our baby, our home, our family and friends. mike and katie unger just came to visit. as reagan and i fell asleep we thought about locking them in our home so they would remain captive and be our friends every day...i can only think of a few people i would actually want to do that with, but this is getting awkward. i was goin to say that they have seen reagan 18 weeks along, and you all haven't, so for the sake of you beautiful people....here they are. Weeks 1, 8, 12, 18.

My name is Sanchero

who needs to watch a movie when you can mess around with face hairymessness? not that i hated the honor code at byu. hate is such a strong word. i really think some things are bogus. life goes on. life goes on with facial hair away from byu. its that easy. and reagan loves it. ... it being the fact that its now shaved off.

First Kiss

It's your First Kiss and several questions might come to mind:

Is it the right time?

Is anyone watching?

Does your partner even want to?

Is your breath fresh?

AND,---Should you use some tongue?

Then you say..."What the heck!" and Just Go for it!

This must be a 2nd or 3rd child because mom grabbed the camera instead of the kid!

Boy or Girl

yep, i've been storin this one for a good 23, almost 24 years now. reagan is catching up to me pretty dang quick. oh, if you don't know yet, REAGAN'S PREGNANT!!! luckily she is over the awkward phase of "showing" where people can't tell if she over did it on the donuts or if she really IS pregnant. She looks as cute as can be if you ask me. ok - no more rhyming i mean it.... does anybody want a peanut?...



on a pregnant note, have you ever had something like that happen? you see a woman and ask her "WOW! How far along are ya?" or "when's the baby due?" because you expect that shes expecting...next thing you know you're trying to talk your way out of a massive hole that you know you wont be able to escape. it feels like it does when you try to run in a dream you're having.

another thing. i vow to dress my child as the boy or girl he or she is. i was at Target with reagan i saw the cutest baby wearing a white, green and pale yellow. a mommy was right there shopping of course. i made my eyes go big and dropped my jaw to get a laugh out of the lil one. I said "she's such a cute lil girl!" mom responded "...thank.........he's a boy actually." right away i squinted at the baby and confidently said "oh wow, sorry i dont have my glasses." OK - i don't wear glasses! that was just the only way to make the situation less awkward just in case i saw that girl lookin boy and mom in the store again.

dee dee deeee. We're sorry. We cannot show anymore of our home. If you're bugged by this as much as our mothers are, please leave a detailed comment at the end of this post. dee dee deeee. We're sorry......

ok ok ok ok ok

so we have been out of commission for a while now with the whole blogging world, so for all you bloggers, or checker-uppers on blogs....we apologize.

kansas has brought the best out in us. reagan cooks amazing food. i sweat in great quantities of semi-salt water from my pores. its a marvelous thing.

i don't think that we have slowed the pace in any sense of the word. mama ogle came out to help us attack our bland white home with some colorful paint and fabulous drapes. ridiculous how much that wonderful woman can do with those three hands. pretty much all moms are just our favorite things in the entire realm of what we know.

here is much of our effort, in picture form. this is our magnificent bedroom.

note. we made the valance, nightstands, headboard etc. be inspired.
