End of Summer and Back to School!

Happy birthday instagram message to our favorite Air Force cadet!

Reid didn't remember the Oklahoma City zoo, at all.  (booo!)  He and I planned an afternoon trip the day before school started to get that memory made!  We spent time with the Lorikeets and he really enjoyed that experience.

He wanted to see the bear up close but this was about as close as we were able to get.

Lib, Amaris and Mattox joined us for a good portion of the day! It's always good to catch up with family outside of the huge gatherings so you can really visit.  Sure is fun to see them at this stage of life!  The kids are about the same age Grant and Kyle were when we had Reid!  

Must have been REALLY busy  :)

The red panda and then a striped tail cat were his favorite animals to see....

Until he saw the zebra and the giraffes - then he had four favorite animals!

We were able to visit with the giraffe zookeeper for several minutes and she gave us all sorts of fun information about them that was special.

He got Dippin Dots AND Sonic afterwards.  It was HOT!!

Meet the Teacher at Westwood - for the LAST TIME EVER!

We have been at this wonderful school for THIRTEEN years!

Reid has the same teacher Kyle did in 5th as well (and she's a friend).

Buddy Cort is just about his only friend in there... thankful for him.

First Day of School 2021

Donut date with Mom at 7am to beat the crowd (that never came!)

Due to Covid, we weren't allowed to walk them in the building, but he did ask that I walk him to the door rather than just drop off in the line.  OKAY!

Fun to get first day pictures! Seated and ready to go!

2nd day of school reading nook pic!

First Day of Freshman Year

Gotta look good!  :)

Technically, this was his second day of school as his Meridian classes started a day before SPS.  He's a Junior!

"Hey, send me a picture of you the first day since I missed it!"

So I got a group selfie on day 2 of Meridian

It's officially volleyball season!  We have crowds this season - wow!

My biggest fans!

Reid started his very first fire in the chimenea and it went for a really long time!

Josh, Madison and I were lucky enough to spend our entire Saturday (starting at 4:45am) at the Jenks volleyball tournament.  Here are the newbies - 7th.

Here are the 8th graders.

Stuco Execs at their first Howdy Week event - ice cream social and water balloon fights.  Grant said about 200 people showed up and it went longer than planned because people were having so much fun.  Do you think more boys need to step up in to the leadership?!?!  :)
