Reed's Birthday Weekend
 
What a special (and busy weekend it was!)  Gramma and Deedad came in, Reed got a birthday snack at school, Reed had his birthday party, Gracie had a t-ball game, and Reed had his Kid's Marathon!  So fun and so special!
 
The birthday boy at breakfast.  6 years old - WOW, does time fly!
 
 Mommy brought snack up to school for Reed to share with his friends.

 
Reed's Space Party

 
Saturn Cake
 
 The kids all played outside before dinner once the party got started.  We thought it was going to be too cold and windy, but it ended up being a gorgeous evening.  We were blessed!

 
 Opening gifts!  Mayhem!  :)


 
 The sweet kiddos at the party!  Reed was one lucky fella with almost all of his friends showing up!!!
 
 Again, wow, 6 - I can't believe it!
 
 Waiting to open gifts from the family the next morning
 
Jonathan was too interested in playing cars with Deedad to care about gift-opening

Reed's new bike

 
Gracie's t-ball game.  That's her friend there playing 1st base on the other team.  :)

 
Gracie knows how to hustle!

 
Run!

 
Running out to field.

Man, was it windy - and cold!
 
 Later that afternoon...Reed's Kids Marathon

Crossing the finish line...and Daddy and Deedad ran the last 1.2 miles with Reed.  So fun!
 
 He got his medal.

 
I LOVE this picture!

Gracie loves her Deedad!

Gracie was not too happy, but I love this picture too.  So blessed to have Gramma and Deedad join us for the weekend festivities!
 

Gracie's Crazy Hair Day at School
 
This was so fun!
 
 This is how it looked when I took it out.  I submit that it is crazier than the original "do".  :)
 
 ...and this is what we had to do to tame that crazy mane before Bubba's t-ball game.  I think she'd make a pretty ballerina.  :)
