Darby and Bodie's Circus Birthday Party 7.24.2010

We had a wonderful birthday party for the kids this year. Since their birthdays are only 3 weeks apart I had a combined party for them. I went completely overboard...I started planning this one back in March. It was a full out carnival/circus themed party. We had balloons, a balloon artist, duck pond, bucket toss, ring toss, tractor ride, jumper, face painting, blow-up animal petting zoo, photo booth and lots of food and prizes. Even though it was 100 degrees, everyone had a blast. I have about 300+ pic's to go through but I posted some of the main ones! Will upload more later!
My sweet little birthday boy! I can't believe he is 2-years-old already.

Well it's definitely been a loooong time since I've blogged, but I am going to try to do better. There has been so much that has happened in the last 12 months since I've blogged. Darby and Bodie are now 4 and 2 years old. I'm now enjoying my last year as a 20-something year old. Darby had surgery on both legs to correct congenital contractures and help her walk better. We are in the process of remodeling the kitchen!!!! Woooohoooo, but about to kill me! The railroad has held my husband hostage so we NEVER see him. Matt and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. And, through a circus party that was out of this world for the kids! I am going to start posting pic's to get you up-to-date with this Reid Party of 4!

Five years and counting...

Today was Darby's first day of Preschool! The day was AWESOME!!! I got to be off with her all day and Matt was home. She got up early, got dressed (she picked out her own outfit and it included a hairbow, girly outfit with cute sandals!), ate breakfast and off we were. SHe went in with NO tears and was smiling when I picked her up. She had 3 worksheets in her folder that were adorable with a certificate saying that she had a "Great first day!" I am so proud of her, but I am so sad that she is growing up so fast.

Bodie's 1st Birthday!!!!

This one will have to be updated in segments b/c I have so many great pic's! For tonight I will post some quick collages to give you a sneak peak!
