Pictures of Disney

Disney is good for so many reasons, but the early morning breakfast of chocolate eclairs was a very good reason. Thanks to Cindy for that treat!

Ice cream sundaes from Ghirardelli!!

Hollywood Studios!

This was my favorite...an army guy at Hollywood Studios!

Abby with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

February

Roses are always a good idea, and peach roses especially. Red roses are fine, but most lovely are yellow, pink, or peach.

Abby was eating chocolate chip cookies, and the cookie won. ;-)

Jack is decorating football cookies for Superbowl Sunday.

Tyler is a NINJA! I feel so very safe.

Random pictures of this past month.

Abby crashed on the couch

Super secret ninja!

Mother doing what she does best!

Suntanning. Yes.

Matthew was supposed to write a thank-you note for school. This is what he gave us. ;-)

The marble roller is Jacob's favorite game.

And he is very upset when it is time to stop. ;-)

He is our outdoor boy.

Daddy with Abby.

Tyler helping Jacob drive his car.

Make-shift hockey

Abby is just a pretty face. ;)

Josh is Team 1.

Jack is Team 2

Eric is a goalie.

When Mom won't get you a real one, you make your own.

Matthew is the goalie. Like his stick? ;-)

Tyler is practicing, really.

Jacob is helping...really.

Eric looking super spiffy

Winter Camp!

For the first three days of Christmas break, we let the 4 oldest boys go to camp. It was just short enough that their mother didn't go crazy without them. If you notice, only 3 Reeds are in this picture. That is because Matthew got violently ill and opted out of the photo. The other boy's name is Walker. He goes to our church, and he and Matthew were in the same cabin.

Jack and Josh were in the same cabin. This is their counsellor, who was giant...almost. His nick name was "Towerly Intimberdating." He was a really sweet guy, and my boys loved having him as their counsellor.

This is Matthew and Walker's counsellor. His nick name was "Gribbit." Super guy as well!

This is Eric's counsellor...."Tastes like Chicken" was his nick name. (Real name was Daniel)

Eric thinks this guy is off the charts.

Camper Jack

Thanksgiving!

Clay took Eric by himself to hunt. This is Dad's deer, and Eric shot a smaller buck.

And...it was time to break out the Christmas hats!

Abby and Jacob

Jack trying out my new Canon Rebel.

This is a toy I bought from an Amish furniture shop here. It is called a tulip tree. You start marbles at the top, and as the marble rolls down each level, the sound gets louder and deeper. After 2 weeks, I have since re-gifted it to another deserving family. ;-) The experience was like some lovely folks we all have had cross our paths, better at a distance and in small doses. ;-)
