Mother's Day 2013

We had a great Mother's Day weekend. My sweet friend, Laura, is having a baby boy in June so I threw her a little shower. To thank me, she gave me this precious outfit for baby girl. The ruffles!!! 

 Jill and I took the boys and our mom to a nice brunch for Mother's Day. G loved the cupcake station, and we ate quite a bit!

While we were gone, Daddy rearranged the house to get ready for baby! We are making some changes so he got started to surprise me! Next up, we are going to paint the nursery and set it all up - I've already purchased everything :) Here is G's new play room (previously the office)!

Happy Mother's Day!

iPhone photo dump :)

I take oh-so-many photos on my phone - mostly of this sweet cutie pie! Here is what we've been up to lately...

Daddy built G a sandbox! Poor confused kid in a house divided :)

Someone found the gummy bears ... for breakfast!

We went to Dallas to see my college friend/Pi Phi sister get married. Luckily, one of my lifelong friends was coming to Houston so we met at Buccee's for a quick hello :)

Congrats, Emily!! Loved hanging out with all my sweet friends!

There was a photo booth - and we liked it A LOT!

My sister kept G, and she sent this pic to me - apparently, this is his "worried face."

We finished a fun season of soccer - how cute is he?? Yes, his shorts were a bit long :)

Soccer was even better with Brayden there too!

We had a great support system at his last game - thanks to Mi-Maw, Jill, Kiki, and the Odells for cheering him on! He loved it and loved his new medal!

We took some sweet treats to Uncle Tanner and his friends at the fire station. We wanted to show our appreciation for all their hard work! It was fun to check out the trucks!

Our church had their annual spring festival, so we took Kiki and G with us and had a blast! 

While Daddy went to Seattle for work, Mi-Maw came to the rescue to help out this prego mama! G spent the night with her - on her birthday too! What a sweet present for the greatest grandma/mom ever!

Saturday morning was spent at Kiki's soccer game! Great game, Keaton John!!

Lunch with this love bug - the two Gs! Griffin and Graham :)

A quick car wash trip turned into a photo op with a real race car!

If I had this munchkin's energy, I could do A LOT in a day. This super hero pic was taken about 7:15 am. He's my hero!

One final photo - G in action on the soccer field! SOCCER STUD!

Countdown to June 11 - my last day! I am "retiring" for a bit to be with my babies!

Easter 2013

We spent the Easter weekend with the Reeds in Stephenville. Griffin and Gavin love getting together! Sweet boys had fun running around Granny's and sleeping over at Aunt Hilary's!

Fun times with the cousins - Ally, Gavin, Madi, and G

Even Spidey needs to take a break and eat! I have to note here that my picky eater is now a HUGE fan of hardboiled eggs. Who knew?!

We planted magic jelly beans on Saturday and woke up to sweet surprises on Sunday! Yay - more candy for my crazy kid :)

Preparing for the Easter egg hunt in our PJs!

Getting help from Granny!

This little guy loves his Uncle Matt!

Happy Easter from this cute little guy....

....who made some eggs for him and his baby sister! Next year, there will be TWO Reeds celebrating this perfect day! Baby sister is a story in itself - a long journey that requires another post :) No matter what, we are so blessed with our munchkins. We had a great weekend celebrating just that!

Spring Break 2013

Spring Break sure was a blast! We spent some time at the rodeo with Jill and Kiki. This year, he asked me to stand outside the gate while he rode the horse - he was too big for me to walk beside him. Well, okay then. He also rode a few rides and played some games - to my surprise, he won some prizes! I love the rodeo - especially with this cute cowboy!

We had lunch with some cuties on Tuesday! I loved seeing my sweet friend Julie and her cute little ones, Bennett and Claire. Julie and I survived the "fun" that was grad school, and I am blessed to have walked away with a great friendship! Thanks for having us over, Julie!

Julie lives right by the Trader Joe's so we went over for a few items. I love that they have small carts for the kids to push :) I am also loving the cookie butter I picked up while there (Thanks Julie and Lori for the rec!).

Sweet Kiki came to hang out for a couple days! There's much fun to be had while these two are together. We took the boys to Clay's for dinner on the patio and to play as well as see animals!

Move time!

Griffin has never been bowling so we went with Kiki and the Odells on Thursday to try it out! We had a great time with all the kids (as usual!), and G did a great job! I see a lot of bowling in our future!

Both boys bowled strikes!

The plan for Friday was to take a trip with Caden! Plan #1 was to pick some strawberries at a farm nearby, but by Friday, there were no berries to pick! Plan #2 was to hit the zoo, but due to the Spring Break crowds, we couldn't even get a parking spot in the medical center! It was nuts! That left us with the final plan - Discovery Green. We already had our lunches packed so we were good to go. The boys had fun running all over the place, playing on the playground, and eating snowcones!

Thanks to Daddy's awesome job, we were able to get some suite seats to the rodeo on Saturday. It was G's chance to show Dad his skills! He loved the pedicab to the carnival and loved the rodeo/concert even more. Who can blame him when the food, drinks, ice cream, and restroom are all in your suite?? :) Thanks, Dad, for the hook-up!

Mommy liked Luke Bryan :)

He even cut a rug with me!

First concert = success!

I just counted - only 12 weeks left until summer! We have some big plans brewing in the Reed casa, and I can't wait for the adventures coming soon!
