Ryland turns 8

It is hard to believe my baby is already 8!  He is a total sweetheart and very athletic. He enjoys hunting, playing in the dirt, jiu jitsu, and everything Minecraft.  Happy Birthday, Ryland! 

Playdate with Ryder

Ridley had her buddy, Ryder, over to play today.  They had a great time upstairs in the gameroom.  We had a tent set up, so they jumped in and giggled for hours.  They played with the roller coaster and all the random toys.  They found new uses and games for the stuff laying around the room.  I love their imagination. 

Reed loses another tooth

My goodness!  Reed has lost another tooth!  He is now missing both lower front teeth.  Cha Ching!

Reed lost a tooth

Reed is going to be looking for the tooth fairy tonight.  He lost his lower right baby tooth, and he is pumped. 

School Celebration

These boys!  Before running off to play on the playground for recess, we celebrated Reed's birthday with cookies and singing.  

Reed turns 6

Our sweet Reed turned 6.  Loving, kind, silly, and playful.  Reed still loves to cuddle and is always up for any kind of sports. He is incredibly smart and is often doing his own thing. 

Baseballl Opening Day 2017

Here goes nothing!  All three are playing baseball this season!  Let's go Dragons!

Dollar Days

Ryland participated in the second grade Dollar Days at Old Union.  He had to start a business and sell services or goods to his classmates.  There were several great ideas, and  the kids loved his.  He sold a turn at Nintendo for $4 Dragon Dollars.  The boys lined up to take a turn at one of the many games he had available.

Ryland spent the bulk of his money at his buddy, Alexa's, booth.  He purchased an arm full of loom bracelets. 

Ridley also enjoyed some of the fun.  She purchased hair coloring.

The blonde hair is now multi-colored!

Donuts with Mom

It was a busy, hectic, and early morning!  I enjoyed donuts with my three precious kiddos before Ryland and Reed headed to class.  The cafe was packed and the line was long for official photos, so we improvised with one of the donut inflatables and an empty corner.  Happy Friday!

Brother

Ryland has always been sweet and protective.  Today we were at Reed's baseball practice, when they wanted to go play at the park.  Ryland's buddy, Alexa, was there, and they play really well together.  I told Ryland he could go to the park with Alexa, and then Ridley chimed in that she wanted to go too.  Ryland spoke up that he would watch out for her and make sure she was OK.  I caught this picture as the three of them crossed the street heading to the park.  I love how Ryland is holding Ridley's hand.  Love seeing their sweet friendship.
