Our First Christmas Tree

We had so much fun cutting it down, decorating it and Lucy even enjoyed cleaning up afterwards!

Thanksgiving at Hide-A-Way

The family was all together... there was so much to be thankful for!

Slammers Volleyball

Allana and the Slammers finished another great season with a winning record of 7-1 in regular season and they finished 3rd in the tournament. Great job girls and coaches!

The Big 40!

Well, thanks to my friends and family I got lots of surprises for my 40th birthday. The weekend before, my dear sweet friend Lora planned a surprise weekend get away to Austin. Lora, Cindy, Monica and I drove to Austin and spent the weekend in leisure. We shopped, had pedicures and long leisurely dinners!

Then on the 15th, my family gave me cards and flowers and said they were taking me out to eat. They did. They took me to Railhead where a bunch of my friends (didn't know I had so many) were there to surprise me and help me celebrate. It was lots of fun!

And the weekend after, Reagan took me to dinner at the 9Steakhouse in Dallas. His reps were so very kind to bless us with a gift certificate for dinner there. It was very chic!

October 4, 2008 - Busy Day

We had a volleyball game this morning, ran home, changed and went to Dallas to have lunch for Daisy's birthday.
































Then we changed again and headed for Laura & Matt's Wedding! Lots of fun.....

BFF's - Nadine & Kailyn

Laura's Bridal Shower

My cousin Laura is getting married! We had a bridal shower for her today in Richardson at the Wildflour Cafe. It was a wonderful lunch and time to visit with family and friends. Look at all these girls....

Time for change...

We decided it was time for a change. Nadine no longer wanted bunk beds in her room and Lucy wanted a "big girl" bed. We revamped and redecorated both.

Lucy's First Day of School

Lucy started school at Kidz Day Out today. She's in the YELLOW room..... very exciting. Her teachers are Mrs. Beth & Mrs. Tabitha.

Labor Day Weekend

It was an exciting Labor Day weekend at the Ragnes house. Allana and Nadine went to friends houses, so Lucy had our undivided attention!


We painted our nails....

And kept our neighbor John from sleeping too much!

And Lucy and Kaleo played and swam.......

Where's Lucy?

In my bed (after putting her in her own bed several times)!

In my chair (when she was supposed to be napping upstairs!

OVERFLOW

Allana finally hit the age for Wednesday night OVERFLOW at New River. I am volunteering during the Wednesday night services, so Allana and I are really growing in our walks and loving all our new friends! We worship with the youth group, play games, eat pizza and do a Bible Study! What more can you ask for on a Wednesday night!!!!!

First Day of School!

The first day of school was awesome. Allana is in Mrs. Blair's 5th grade class and Nadine is in Mrs. Tyer's 2nd at Coder Elementary in Aledo. They both like their teachers and said they were excited about their classes.

Downtown Cindy Brown!

My Sweet Sweet Friend Cindy turned 50 this summer! We surprised her with a party and she was in shock for a week!
