June...

Oh June... let me think... well we took Eden to Brookfield Zoo and as you can see she was having a blast... no really... she did have lots of fun seeing all the animals and making all the noises! 

Then my baby brother, Dean, graduated from high school which I cannot believe. He got a scholarship to Western Michigan for soccer. I'm so excited for him! I love my little Dean.

The next weekend we went to St. Louis for a friends wedding and got to see Danielle and Mandi and Eden got to hang out with Mikail (Mandi's head got cut off in the picture... sorry Mandi!!).

We also went to this museum in St. Louis... I'm having pregnancy brain and cannot remember what it's called, but it's really cool has all these tunnels and you can crawl through the ceiling and underground... anyway, Eden was a little too little, but someday it will be a great place to go!

Here is a pic from us from the wedding

And this is just a picture of Eden that I thought was funny!

So there you go. June in a nutshell!! 

Love, 

Erin

May...

Let's see... what did we do in May?

Well, my sister in law graduated from nursing school so we went to Bonne Terre for her graduation and graduation party. My mother in law, who is the greatest mother-in-law ever,  also turned 50 and let me say she's the hottest 50 year old I've ever seen! After all the parties we took our last day to go to a winery called Crown Valley Winery. It was gorgeous and we had a blast wine tasting. Even Eden got her own little vino glass!! She was so excited. 

Grandma Jules got Eden this great t-shirt!! Our little Vino Bambino!

The day after we got home from Missouri Eden was being a little crazy at the kitchen table and slammed her face on the table - hence the HUGE black eye... poor baby.

The 1st official black eye

My baby brother went to his Senior prom. I still can't believe he's going away to college in less than a month. I'm gonna miss that kid. Anyway, here is a pic from prom. He went with his friend Leah. 

4 Months... WHOA... April Update in July

Wow! It's REALLY been a while!! So, since it's been 4 months I will try and catch you up as much as possible a month at a time. Lets go back to March where we left off. We celebrated Easter and found out 2 weeks prior that we were blessed with being pregnant again! 

 Here  we are Easter Sunday

In April we went and saw SWITCHFOOT in concert which is a must if you've never been. We had a blast... well, I had a little more than a blast. Amber, this one's for you... anyway, we went with our friends Lindy and Kyle and the boys didn't want to go down on the floor so we left them behind only to get lost in the moment with Jon Foreman. Well, I must have gotten a little too lost because before I knew it, I was jumping around only to be graced with the presence of a little mishap called "because I'm pregnant I can't jump or else something bad will happen..." And yes it did... I pee-d my pants... Just a little, but needless to say it did happen. Oh well! It was most definitely worth it and it didn't help that Lindy and I were laughing and couldn't stop. Thank you Lord for leading me to the dark jeans I put on that night! 

Also in April, Eden figured out how to get in the pantry and got into a box of crackers and stuffed her cheeks full!

Eden couldn't get enough of her Ugg's this day. When I finally took them off her feet they were a sweaty mess!

 Here I am 9 weeks pregnant. As of tomorrow, I will be 23 weeks and look a little different! I am sporting a bigger belly these days which Eden points out to me daily!

And on this final day in April, Jarrett was having too much fun with Eden's toys and I'm afraid Eden seemed a little too excited with her new boobies!!

The May update is soon to come and I promise to be better in the future!!

Love, 

Erin

Update

So, I realize it's been forever since I updated the blog. I haven't been doing a very good job at this whole thing!! Sorry to those who read this!! We have been pretty busy around the Reardon household. 

We were in Missouri 3 weeks ago for Miciah's graduation from nursing school. Congrats Ciah!! We are so proud of you and had lots of fun... especially meeting Tim! And the most amazing mother-in-law turned 50 so we had a little belated cake party for Jules!! Eden got to see lots of her cousins, aunts, uncles, and her great grandparents... and of course Grandma Jules and Grandpa Marty. 

Last weekend we went to the Wisconsin Dells and got to play at Kalahari Waterpark which Eden loved. I got to relax while Jarrett had her in the pools and on all the water rides!

The weather is finally getting nice so we are spending more time outside. I am officially out of my first trimester - 15 weeks to be exact and I really cannot believe it. I kind of feel like there's a little boy inside, but only time will tell!! 

Jarrett has Monday off for Memorial Day so we are excited for the long weekend. We are planning on going to IKEA and looking for a big girl bed for Eden! 

We love and miss you all. 

P.S. Jarrett got a little funny one day and gave Eden little boobies! Hilarious!

Love, 

Erin

Much Needed Update

Wow!! It's been a while! A lot has been going on around our house! We had our trip to Mexico which was amazing. Eden had a blast and absolutely loved the water. If we were there to stop her she would have walked right into the ocean! She now has cabin fever since it's freezing cold here!

Last week Jarrett's aunt's, cousins, and mom came and stayed with us during their Spring Break and we had so much fun! We spent  day in the city and spent the night at Hotel Burnham which is a must stay for any Chicago visitor. 

Here are some pics.

Enjoy!

Love, 

Erin

P.S. I'm Preggers!!

I cannot believe our little bugaboo is 1. A year goes by way too fast. When I think back to what I've done this past year it seems as though all I have done is change diapers, play on the floor, and cook dinner...it's an endless cycle - a wonderful one - but it is so crazy how those things can make a year go by so quickly. Everyone always says, "Enjoy it because it goes by so fast..." Now both Jarrett and I know how true that statement really is. It really makes you appreciate each day for what it is and enjoy the time you are sitting on the floor for countless hours -  putting money in a talking pig or playing songs by Tad the frog over and over!

I've learned this year that each day is priceless and so precious. We are so blessed to have a healthy little girl who is so happy about life. We have seen her hit lots of milestones. She has been walking since the end of her tenth month and has only gotten faster! She says daddy, baby, and  duckie - she still will not say mommy. She used too, but she has stopped. If you point to me and say mommy, she will just smile and say, "daddy!!" 

We are leaving Thursday for a much needed get-a-way to Mexico. Jarrett has been extremely busy - working hard to get his Master's Degree and working 40 plus hours a week - so some time off in the sand and sun sounds wonderful!! 

Here are some recent pics of our boo!

Blessings.

Love, 

Erin
