Summer vacation at the lake. Usually consists of Jason working around the cabin and Heather and Reed watching. Reed loves to be doing/watching whatever Daddy is doing.

May 29th, 2010... First fish was caught

Reed's first fish. He loves fishing with his Daddy and Papa Charlie. He also caught a bullhead and thought it was the absolute greatest thing and was sharing the news with whoever would listen. Even boats passing by. Jason and I just smiled and watch Reed enjoy his moment. Super cute memories you never want to forget.

Semi Truck fun for the kids. Reed and Dru both fit in the cab and the adult had to sit in the back. (Not as much fun for the adult however.)

Blue's Clues ride. Reed was starting to get warmed up.
The Swipper ride was the favorite of the day for Reed. He has so much fun. You can see it on his face.
Leo had fun to even though he didn't get to ride on any rides.

Christmas Eve
Grandma Lu sharing a photo text with sound we sent her. Reed enjoyed watching it replay over and over again. Here he is with Lu, Robin and Cheryl. I think he was pretending to be Santa on the phone saying, "Hooooooo Hoooooo Hooooooo, what do you want for Christmas little girl." He likes to watch The Christmas Story movie and will repeat some of the lines as well as act out some of the scenes already. He hasn't started saying any of the bad scenes yet.

Thank goodness.

Christmas Eve watching Zach play his video game.

A visit with Santa. It went much better this year. No crying.

I think Reed asked Santa for a sucker.

Holidazzle Parade

Jason, Reed and I went to the Holidazzle Parade with Heidi, Julie, and Dru. We took the "train" downtown which was fun for Reed to experience. He also loved watching the floats with all the lights on them. It wasn't crowded on the parade route so the kids could see everything. We sat near the train station so it was easy off and easy to get back on after the parade was over. It really was a good time and Reed talked about it all the way home and again the next day. He wanted to get to school so he could share with his friends what he had seen. It is so fun to watch Reed experience new things. His excitement is amazing and it keeps things new for us.
