The Reed Family: The Last Couple of Weeks

I really try to keep the blog updated, but life is just so busy right now and I just looked at it today and realized it has been almost 2 weeks since the last update. I've got to do better, especially since one certain little boy is turning TWO this week! How is that possible?!?!? Here is a short update from the past couple of weeks.

We've had lots of dress up time at home. Lots of nights we are dressed as Spiderman, Batman, or a fire man!

I'm still not sure what they are going to be for Halloween (it changes daily!), but we did get out the big inflatable scary cat this weekend so we are somewhat getting ready for it! The boys were super excited about getting the cat out!

We've played lots of soccer. Today was the first day that Harrison realized he could kick the ball while we were out there and he and Joel spent almost the entire time on another field playing soccer. He was a sweaty mess! This rough and tough boy can't wait for it to be his turn to get to play!

Hudson loves soccer (comes home talking all about it and can't wait until next week), but I've said it before and I will say it again, he is just in la la land when he is out there! He does a lot of running, and he does get in the middle of the action, but the ball could be sitting at his feet and he would not even know it! Bless his heart...he is way more concerned about all the people that are there than kicking a ball. Needless to say, there have been bribes. Don't judge! Last week, he scored his first goal...for the other team. He was so proud (and it was pretty I must say!) that he ran over to me and told me he got to get ice cream since he scored a goal (obviously collecting on the before mentioned bribe!)! Oh well...he still got ice cream. He sure does look cute while he's out there!!!

There is a little boy on our team whose dad coached Hudson's t-ball game in the spring and their big thing is the eye black! They always have it with them and the boys love to wear it!

The boys got to take their first bath in our new master bathroom tub/swimming pool! They loved it. Finished pictures coming soon. We are hoping that it will be done by the end of this week! Woo hoo!!!

Last week, I picked Hudson up from school and the first thing he said to me was, "Look Mom, I'm a pothead!" I was dying...

More soccer pics!

I just love these four cuties! Their parents have all become some of our dear friends!

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that we decided to head out to Oak Mountain for the morning. The boys love to hike!

Harrison didn't want anyone to hold his hand! He wanted to do everything on his own, which resulted in a couple of falls and bloody knees, but he's a rock star and it did not even phase him a bit!

It was so nice that we got a mile and a half into it before realizing we had gone that far. So, a mile and a half back made 3 miles! That's a lot for little legs! The walk back was clearly not as pleasant as the walk there...they were exhausted and hungry and there was nothing we could do! However, a little snack and the petting farm turned some whiney kids into happy ones again!
