One of my favorite things about summer!

Reid writing his birthday thank you notes - he had 4 to family members - and this was his mess. It may have stressed him out a little! (!!) 

NCAA Men's Golf finals - we had a few family members become tv stars!  HA!

Grant is closest to the 5:00

 

Caught cheering loudly!

 

Grant on the Channel 9 news!

 

Grant and Max

right in the middle of the action - good experience to watch the athletes deal with the joy, pressure, cameras, fans, etc!

several of my favorite men!

Yard Goats, and siblings, decided to have a kickball and wiffle ball game.

We had cupcakes for Reece and Reid!

Happy birthday, May 26ers!  7 looks good on you!

Even Mommy played and scored!!

Reid is trying hard to master the ninja line in the backyard. Thanks, GG and Bubba!  He still has some work to go on it (so do the big brothers!)

Even Reid has to have a little down time daily, and he has been working through his Sports Science kit in the a/c the past few days.

Reiders turns 7!

Our big 7 year old wanted to go to Frontier City for his birthday. You know, on the Saturday of a holiday weekend.  It was FUN!

This happened. First "ride" of the day. Geronimo.  The three boys.  Reid loved it.

FINALLY CAPTURED!

Reid, you have the best imagination and creative spirit when it comes to your play. You could play for hours by yourself if we'd let you.  You disappear in the yard and have pretend sports game, including scoreboards and jerseys, and arrange toys inside always in a particular order to suit your creativity.  You are FUNNY and thoughtful, usually messy, and love to change outfits multiple times a day.  We wouldn't be the same if you weren't around - love you with all my heart, big boy!

NCAA Golf at Karsten

OSU teed off at 7:00 and we were a bit late but were able to see the 4th group go.  We ended up watching 4 of our 5 guys throughout the day.

This is the 1st hole.

 

18th hole is way behind us but we're in the middle of the back 9

a passerby felt sorry we were taking a selfie and took a real picture for us

the lake at 17th/18th hole with all of the participating college's flags

I took two of these pictures- one had Grant with eyes open and not smiling, other was a huge grin with the eyes shut.  He really did enjoy himself... just wasn't quite ready to smile!

Last day of school!

 Reid's favorite way to end the school year - annual neighborhood shaving cream party!

 

 Grant celebrated with two of his besties with ice cream sundaes and a whole lot of sunshine, sweat and gatorade.

the first birthday present from a friend arrives - thanks, Raegan!

 Kyle went swimming at Mez's house and then a whole lot of the SIXTH graders had an evening party at Kyler's house!
