 My parents took Reid up in an airplane for a little while and toured over Stillwater. He had a blast and was actually able to fly the place.  I said "you were the pilot!" and he said "No, the co-pilot!"

OSU - campus, football, baseball, etc, and Boomer Lake

MS dance #3 in the books.
Julius, Garrett, Austin, Trey, Jace, Max, Barrett, William, G

Valentines class parties



this is kind of a horrible camera smile for both of us, but the camera automatically changes Kyle's face and it is partially funny and partially annoying.

"Cancel playdates for 10 days. We are playing together" sign he posted on our house when it was family time!

my hair has finally reached "long" status!

Jason, Reid and Kyle went to the OSU v Penn State wrestling match - and Reid learned to tie his shoes while they were waiting!

We met for dinner with family! Cousins!

Today is President's Day - we went fishing with some brothers! Mez had the best catch of the day!

Reid dressed himself to go play!

 a few of our Westwood teammates

 Mom sent me this - the five siblings gathered to finish sorting their parents' items.

We believe this is an original poem from my granddad, Ken. On here for keepsakes!

 If loving God and this phrase are all I can forever instill in my boys, then I will have succeeded as their Mom! 
 
Also on here for keepsakes - pretty sure he made the Elementary - Middle School transition pretty well!  Grant has done a great job with his grades.



January

Jason asked me the other day why I hadn't blogged in so long... I said something like "it's just been a little bit" and then realized it is February 7 and I have one post. Oops.
 
Such a great month!
Snuggles.
 
This is Ty dog. This photo was on my phone so "someone" apparently thought he was important enough to have a photo taken.  Usually, Ty Dog or Duke will be with Reid.

 
Brother sleepovers
The boys have asked to have a lot of friend sleepovers and we have been saying no. January has been very busy for Grant, and when we have a free night, this is what I like to see!
 
Movies - this time with Max and Toni
 
A little boy asleep in my lap - rarely happens - love this! Wish I could bottle up these moments forever. 
 
back to school lunch - he had two full pizza bagels.
 
a panoramic of our yard when it snowed.


 
Mom's birthday, which was a snow day, and a Fridaway day! We went to OSU to wait on Jason to finish work!



 
We saw our church in a Lifetime movie!


 
Grant and his friend, Leo, golfed on a beautiful January day. Leo sent me this goofy shot.
 
Kyle Walker did the Westwood announcements and it so happened it was right as I was walking in to the school for something!  picture opportunity!
 
date night!

now THAT's more like it, son.
 
Construction. and more.... here's our door before it went up!
 
Here is my dashboard driving home from Enid with pieces of the door that weren't in our original delivery!  It was the entire length of my van!
 
Indiana Jones movie night with the Streeters.
 
Jason made TV several times with his front row wrestling seats. OSU won!

Our trombone star had a winter concert.
There were 5 songs played.... 3 of them were by the high school band.

 
Grant in blue denim and his friend, Garrett, in white.
 
Love notes in bookbags have started arriving home... from Kindergarten!
 
Date night at a game with my other two boys!
 
And Raegan found us.  I was asked four times about my twins...

 
Reid has skating down!
 
always the gentleman!

So much basketball - Kyle filled in for some friends' team.
 
Kyle chose to upgrade the guinea pig cage with his birthday money from Nana! This one is so much better for them to play!
 
Free throw - made it!
 
The Spurs. Coach Jason and Coach Brian
 
Another cuddly movie night. His dog, house shoes, popcorn and a fire - life doesn't get much better if you're 5 than this night!
 
I took this photo as Grant's team was in the far court (Sean) and Kyle's team was playing on the near court.  Look at Jason's posture... cracks me up - someone must have NOT listened to his coaching!  :)
 
Warriors. Coach Justin and Coach Sean.
 
Dad took this in church - he didn't want us this day.
 
the previously mentioned Duke - in his helmet.  Reid is a BEAST on the bicycle now. It clicked in late fall and he has become almost dangerously fast on his turns!

babysitter selfies!
 
haircuts!
