Rhett can sit up!

I think it's safe to say that Rhett can sit up now!  He's been sitting for a couple of seconds at a time for a few days, but tonight he was able to sit for about 30 seconds!  I love the stage of sitting, but not yet crawling. :)

These are just a few sweet pictures I took of him the other day...

If you look closely, you can see two bottom teeth! 

 We love this sweet boy so much!!!

Weekend Fun

Alli and John started a fun tradition a couple of years ago of taking Reid (and now Georgia Kate) on a special outing as their birthday gift!  They took the kids together since Georgia's birthday is shortly after their baby will be here.  They painted ceramics and then went to get lunch and frozen yogurt.  The kids had the BEST time!! Alli and John are such an awesome aunt and uncle!  I can't wait to make memories with my niece or nephew!! 

We spent Memorial Day over at Mumsie and Popsie's house and had

 our first official swim of the summer!

Those curls...

It was Rhett's first time in the pool and let's just say he wasn't a fan.

End of School Year Fun

Well, Reid officially wrapped up a great year in the Butterfly Class!  This year was fun for him because  most of the kids were also in his class last year, so he was able to form some good school friendships.  We made the stressful, agonizing, kept me awake at night decision to "delay the start" of kindergarten (as the preschool director puts it) and have Reid do the 5 year old transition class at our preschool next year.  So much thought and prayer went into this decision, but ultimately, I feel like it's going to be what's best for him.  He's so excited about the Alligator Class next year and so am I!  That being said,  his preschool graduation was more of a preschool dress-rehearsal graduation. :)  I was not near as emotional as I would have been because I know we get to do it again next year!  

The program was really sweet.  Reid made some progress since the Christmas program and faced forward and also managed to move his mouth during some of the songs. ;) Hand motions were not going to happen, but I can relate to the fact that he isn't a fan of performing.  I was really proud of him for getting up there and participating!  

Mrs. Myers was a wonderful teacher!  She does such creative things with the kids and Reid was happy to go to school each day.  

Reid and sweet Mrs. Riel

Proud Parents!

Yesterday was Splash Day!  I was happy to get to go and help.  Reid and his friends had a blast!  

Reid's favorite school friend the last two years has been Ryan!  Such a sweet boy!  

First day of the school year vs. the last… 

He's grown so much!

We are looking forward to a great summer!  

Celebrating Reid's 5th Birthday!

It's been a busy few days celebrating our FIVE year old!  This year, Reid really wanted a monster truck party.  Our kids had never been bowling, but we thought it seemed like the perfect party activity for him because he's so into games and scores! :)  He had a blast celebrating with some of his best buddies!  

Chris took yesterday off for Reid's real birthday.  He woke up and was so excited to open his presents!

Chris made him a special breakfast of m&m waffles, eggs, and bacon!

Later that morning, we took the big kids to the movies to see Zootopia!  Reid had only been to the movies once and it was a couple of years ago and Georgia Kate had never been.  They did pretty well! We ended up leaving a little early, but they made it through most of the movie (probably thanks to the gigantic bucket of popcorn we got). :) 

Last night, we went to dinner at Alicia's (Reid's choice) with family and then everyone came over to our house for cake and ice cream.  I am very thankful that there are so many people in our kids' lives that love them so much.  

Rhett sat in a high chair for the first time at dinner!  

I'd say it was a pretty good birthday for our big boy!
