Staples for Reed

Reed had his second trip to the ER last Sunday. Reed fell down and hit his head. He ended up with two staples in his head. (like his cousin Dru had before Christmas) We thought he would fall and hurt himself while skating (see entry below) so he had a helmet and everything on. Little did we know he would need to walk around with a helmet on. :) I am sure it won't be the last time he will get hurt, this may just be the beginning.

First Time on Hockey Skates Jan. 28th, 2011

Jason, Reed and I went to a local skating rink and tried skating for the first time. Reed did fairly well for a first timer. He likes to play hockey and Daddy likes playing with Reed.

Cooper and Bella birthday party

Reed pulled out his crazy self and started playing the guitar and performing with all the kids at the party. Cooper was the lead singer, Bella was a dancer and Reed rocked it out on blow up guitar.

Christmas Marathon 2010

Christmas Eve started out at church celebrating Jesus' birth. We went to the 1:00 service so we could fit everything in that night.

Our first stop was at Uncle Jere's house, visiting with mommy's cousins Perry (above) and Jason (below), Uncle Jere and Grandma Jean.

Next we went to Auntie Lois and Uncle Denny's house for dinner and the dollar gift game.

Christmas morning was spent opening gifts at our house that Santa brought. Reed was a good boy this year.

Then on to Grandma Sue and Grandpa John's for more gift opening, breakfast and the Christmas Day celebrating. We were joined by the Bloom family later that afternoon.

Christmas Day we ended at Uncle Keith and Aunt Cheryl's. Reed really likes Uncle Keith, he was his shadow while we were there.

The day after Christmas was spent at Scot and Holly's house opening gift with the Schultz family. Wow, we really need to train more for these Christmas marathons. It is very exhausting.

Snow Storm December 2010

We didn't go anywhere that weekend.

Dru had just returned from the doctor getting two staples put in the back of her head after hitting on the arm of the couch.

OUCH!

Neighborhood Christmas party at our house. It was a night after a big snow storm, 18+ inches of snow that day.

Halloween 2010

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Halloween Party at school is always tough at first. Reed seems to have a shy side once in a while. He takes about 20 minutes to warm up.

Reed and his really good buddy at school, Donovan. Reed talks about Donovan all the time and they will even be celebrating their birthdays together. I sure hope they will be going to the same school for Kindergarten.

Reed carving pumpkins with Mommy and Grandma Sue.


Reed all dressed up as a "worker man". He may look a little bit puffy because he had to wear a few layers since it was in the 40's here. I think he has been watching his Daddy work around the house and it may have had some influence on his decision to be a "worker man". We also pretend being a pizza man. He was delivering pizzas earlier in the day.

Severs Corn Maze October 2010

The group waiting to get in to Severs Corn Maze.

Dru and Reed milking a cow. Hopefully you can see it wasn't a real one but they didn't seem to mind.

There were so many of these boards with photo ops that we couldn't resist.

Fire Station tour and playing with the neighbors

Savage has a new fire station. They opened it up to the public to see one night. Reed was so excited to see the fire trucks.

Jason and Reed waited a long time for this ride in the fire truck. Reed talked about it all the way home and wanted to tell all of his friends at school about it.

The neighborhood friends playing in the leaves. They had such a blast.

Apple Orchard 2010

Walking through the orchard. Reed and Dru are helping Leo as they walk back to catch the wagon.

The three cousins.

Reed loved looking over the pumpkins. He seems to love Halloween.

Reed, Dru, Leo and Yvonne getting on the wagon to ride out to the orchard. They were ready to start picking apples.

Reed and Leo riding the tractor at the orchard. Leo saw something really neat, can you tell by his facial expression?
