Reid All About It

Rhett lost his first tooth!

Our baby lost his first tooth this afternoon! Rhett has such a great smile and I'm a little sad that it's starting to change! He sure was excited though! :)

Before

After

(with a fresh haircut!)

He's growing up too quickly!

We are now a month into our new school year at our new school! 4th grade for Reid, 3rd grade for Georgia Kate, kindergarten for Rhett, and 1st grade for ME! It's been a great start for all of us, despite a few bumps in the road.

Meet the Teacher x4!

Rhett and Mrs. Black

I'm pretty sure Rhett might be the first kindergartener to pass up his teacher in height by the end of the year. ;) Sweet Mrs. Black got Covid a couple of days into school, so she was out for two weeks after that. We were all happy when she came back!

Georgia Kate and Mrs. Peeples

GK has known her teacher for a few years! Mrs. Peeples' daughter and Georgia Kate were in the same kindergarten class, along with a few other of her 3rd grade classmates!

Reid and Mrs. Saenz

We are SO excited that Mrs. Saenz is one of Reid's teachers!

I'm sad that I didn't take any before pictures, but here is my home away from home! Well, it was my home away from home until the AC broke in our area and I had to move out 2 weeks into school. ;) The AC has been a complicated situation, but I hope to be able to move back into this space soon!

The Night Before Kindergarten

Well, in true Rhett fashion, he woke up with a fever on the first day of kindergarten. :( He has a history of getting sick the first week of school. It threw us for a little bit of a loop, but thankfully Chris was able to work from home and Reid, GK, and I managed to get to school on time for our first day.

First day of 3rd and 4th grades!

After a year of homeschooling, we had two very excited kids!

At last... our baby's first day of KINDERGARTEN!

As we move into this next chapter of all of our children being in school, I'm so thankful that I get to be there with them and be a part of their days!

We are looking forward to a wonderful year together!

Summer 2021 Highlights

GK and Perry enjoyed an "under the sea" themed art camp!

Reid had a blast at the Katy High School basketball camp.

Rhett and Perry attended Camp Cover for a week (basically a week of preschool), but sadly I don't have any pictures!

Mumsie spent some time teaching Georgia Kate to sew - eeek! She loves it and is very excited to do a sewing class at school this year.

We were able to get together with people we love, but sadly don't get to see often throughout the year.

Pool day with the Morrises

Beach Club with Courtney, Pamela, and the kids (GK, Reid, and Penny were there too) :)

Visit with the Olivers and Joiners

July 4th fun with friends!

TBarM (day camp) was in July. The kids had been looking forward to this for two years, since it was cancelled last year. Sadly, Georgia only got to attend the first day because she came down with a high fever and was out the rest of the week. :( She was so disappointed!

Excited about her first (and only) day!

A few action shots of Reid... He had the best time!!

Alli, Perry, GK, and I had a fun girls day at the Junie B. Jones play! It was super cute!

The same day, the boys went to an Astros game with Chris and Grandpa!

We said goodbye to the Jones family as the headed off to Denver! This family was a special part of our homeschool year.

We took the girls to American Girl for Perry's birthday! It was her first visit and Georgia was thrilled to go back!

Chris and I were able to sneak away to Midlothian for a night to attend the wedding of one of my former students! His mom and I also taught together. It was such a special night!

The boys attended a week of Ninja camp and loved every second of it! Rhett got 1st place in his age group at the end of camp competition!

Georgia attended gymnastics camp the same week and had lots of fun!

We spent a day at Typhoon Texas with friends!

Rhett was excited to hang out with his preschool friend, Canton.

We had our Preston Surfside weekend! We were so excited to see everyone after having to cancel last year's weekend.

The lineup of Guinny's great-grandchildren continues to grow!

Chris and I went straight from Surfside to Cabo to celebrate our 15th anniversary! We had the most relaxing trip and were so thankful for the grandparents that made it possible.

Cheers to 15 years!
