Lost Creek Safari

Reid and Jason went with our church to Lost Creek Safari this week! 

What a gem!

Second grade recap

Reid's teacher sent out a link to all of the photos she has taken this year.  I am not even posting half of the ones of Reid, but I did want to share some of the highlights!  

It was a great year - best yet - for him at school.

Look at this long, blonde "I want to part my hair" hair!

(that's why the part didn't last long - it didn't work!) 

Buddy Lunch

I'm not sure - just included to show how little he was just 8 short months ago...

he signed the very end of the center beam of the new school - it's at the front peak when you look at the building.

Under construction - the white beam behind them.

baking day. 

Painting for Christmas presents

Field Day fun

? 

 

Getting to tour and drywall the new building

(wonder how much of this they redid?!?  My bet - all!)

So cool to have a part in the walls of the new library!

Very descriptive comparatively... this goes in a Westwood time capsule until 2050 (that's what I was told anyways!)

sewing day for the tunics!

Mrs. Fox really tries to invest and do neat hands-on activities.  

Final project on the final day!

Children's Operetta

Reid was a part of the Stillwater Operetta Summer workshop.  It's a pretty cool deal - 5 days of practice, and they then performed a legit play.  This year was titled "Home of the Free because of the Brave" and written by their teacher.
I videoed the parts he was mostly in.... viewing pleasure at the link below.
Reid's scenes (and a few friends)

 

Front page feature in the newspaper even!

The Westwood students.

It was interesting juggling work, Grant to workouts and 3 shows of the play. Mom helped. I got a lunch date. It worked!

After the final show - these soldiers were happy!

...and Raegan came to visit!

Great job, Reid.  I am so proud of your ability to stand on stage without getting scared, to try something new and different, and for being so great at the role you were given.  I'm excited to see if you continue this passion of performing or if it is a quick phase - either way - awesome job!

Summer fun,Yard Goats, Kyle's camp and friends!

Sometimes little brothers need a break from baseball - especially when a birthday party and fishing are involved!  While G and J were winning a tournament, we played at OSU...

...and cuddled up to watch OSU win their Regional.

Congrats, again, to the A's on winning a 14U tourney.

The Yard Goats completed their season this week!

Coach Cody, Coach Jeramie, Coach Matt and Coach Daddy!

Donuts with the Dudes

 

Lori couldn't join us but we had some Walker and Chaloner time at the park and movie theater.

 

Our Stillwater theater got a facelift!  We now have reclining heated seats!  HOLLA! 

We saw Aladdin and loved it!

Kyle and his buddy, Sam, are away right now at day 2 of their 5 day basketball camp.

When did they get so big?!?

Walker Hall - both of my last names on one building!
