Here is video of Reid playing in the Jeep. Reid loves playing in the car.

I've been alittle under the weather over the last 24-48 hours with a cold and working on cutting a molar but wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!! We all have so much to be thankful for.

Sorry that it took so long to get the birthday pictures posted.

Happy 1st Birthday, REID!

Reid's Second Halloween.  We went to Angel and Nathan's House and celebrated with our families.   We tried to go trick-or-treating but just as we stepped out the door it starting raining alittle harder than we desired to be walking around in.  So, the girls including Garland Kay handed out candy.  We had lots of good food and a great time.  

 Our costumes have absolutely nothing in common.  Craig was a UPS man, I was Dracula's bride and Reid was....well, I think you can tell....SKUNK!

This is picture of the final product of the dessert that I made for the party.  Dirt cake with a few little critters lurking around.  Nothing special...I just added this picture so I could show Wanda, my friend from work, what they turned out looking like.  

My "old high school buddies" - Brian, Brent and Steve - came to the house tonight.  It was a reunion "session" many years in the making.  There is a lot of history in this picture, but I'm too tired to elaborate tonight.  If you feel compelled to know a little more about the gathering...check out Steve's blog in a couple days (we've linked to it) and enjoy a finely word-smithed tale of ole buddies recounting days gone by.  I'll attempt to elaborate at a later date but the cliff notes description is simply a great time with some great friends.   

Reid and I came up with this alternative use for his new Radio Flyer toy.  The bucket-like part he is riding in can be flipped over to form a ride on toy that he can scoot around on or it can be turned upside down similar to how it is in the picture and serve as a little wagon of sorts.  Well...we discovered it's much more fun to tilt the bucket slightly, let Reid get in, hold on, and take a "race car slick track ride" around the kitchen, living room, dining room, foyer "loop."  Our male blog viewers should appreciate that he especially likes "power slides."

Look what Reid has discovered....MULCH!!  Yesterday, he found it at my parents and played in it alittle bit.  But, today when we went outside to play he headed straight for the flower beds.  This was the longest that I have seen him sit and pay close attention to something.  He seemed very intrigued.  I let him play in it even though I think mulch is nasty.  I would much rather have seen him playing in dirt.  Oh, well.
