Disneyland

We love Disneyland, or better yet I love Disneyland!!! I love the rides and atmosphere it's just so much fun. I love the look on my kids faces when they see the characters they love.

Chance got to become a padowan at the Jedi training. He had so much fun and was so proud.


Owen got to hug Jessie from Toy story. I think she's his first crush. He adores her.

Carter was so excited to see Lightning McQueen. He calls him "GUNGA". I have no idea how that word came about, but it's adorable.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend these memorable times with my family. They are memories I, and hopefully my children will alway treasure.

I am really going to try and get better at writing on this. Our latest family adventure consisted of going to the moon and to mars ( at the Clark Planetarium). We saw the 3D dinosaur show. The two older boys were "scared", they firgured out they got more treats if they said they were scared. Carter fell asleep, so it couldn't have been too scary. We bought a pass to the Planetarium a few months ago and the boys really love the 3D movies. It's been fun, especially now that Owen will stay still long enough to watch anything. In addition to the Dinosaur movie we've seen Santa vs. the Snowman, and Fly me to the Moon. I think one of these nights we'll leave Owen and Carter home and take Chance to a laser show. I think he'd really enjoy that.

Halloween

Halloween was fun. I really like to dress up. We usually try to all coordinate. This year we didn't. Jeff, Chance and Owen all dressed up as Army men. Carter and I were characters from 101 Dalmations.

Carter Isaac Reid

His big brothers love him so much! They can't get enough of holding, kissing, feeding, etc. Chance says "Mom he's so cute, he's even cute when he's crying." Maybe I should wake him up at 3:00am to feed Carter ;)

Carter Isaac Reid was born June 25, 2008 at 11:42pm. He was 7 Lb. 9 oz. and 19 inches long.

Due date July 1, 2008

Owen Joseph Reid was born April 20, 2006. He is so full of energy and determination. Even at 2 his personality is so alive. It's hard to stay mad at him because he's a mommy's boy and loves to cuddle. He'll snuggle up and say "rub my back mommy".

He loves his big brother and tries to do everything he does. He is growing up so fast and will probably be sad when he realizes (in the next couple weeks) that he is no longer the baby. He loves to have his picture taken no matter what he is doing.

Chance William Reid was born May 5, 2003 and is such a joy. He loves to learn and explore new things, though like most 5 year olds each new adventure only lasts a little while as he gets distracted easily. His newest adventure The beginning of sports - Tball. I think he has enjoyed it though at 5 I guess they don't really learn the game, just get a feel for playing on a team, learning to share the ball and maybe to run in a straight line.
