It's a Boy!

Here are some pictures of our little baby boy from our ultrasound! We're SO excited it's a boy, Beau can barely stand it! He still tells everyone he sees he's going to have a son. We are TOTALLY at a loss as to what he'll be named (seriously, not one name). I look online just about everyday for new ideas but nothing has jumped out at me yet. Beau and I were actually joking today that we're going to be in the hospital, the baby almost 2 days old, and we'll start playing the "you pick 3, I'll pick 1" game. We can't even decide what movie to watch at night let alone what name to give our child. I like the traditional/short names the best. So if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Here's his little bum, legs, feet, and all the stuff in the middle!

Another of his legs and feet and cute little bum. He's got the longest/skinniest legs!


This is a profile of his face. He's got Beau's chin. You can also see his fist.



A pretty good one of his whole body (minus a head). You can really tell how long and skinny he is in this one. I love it!

Maden Voyage

kent and I have gone back to the good side. We are boat owners again. Now I know you are thinking how can you afford such a luxury, well this is the thing...it is a giant 17 foot Sea Ray we named it the SS Minnow- and I am so excited it is like Christmas.
We took it to Quail tonight for the first time. I didn't realize how much I missed the water! I must have been living the last year in denial.
What made tonight even better is that our poor deprived little boy at 21 months finally got to go on his very first boat ride.
Not that there was ever a moment of doubt, but he is for sure a REID! He took to the boat like a pro - riding in the first mate chair was not good enough he wanted to drive and if the boat was stopped he wanted in the water!
It was a great time and even better it didn't cost $500 maybe about $50 and worth every penny!

Just another Day

Kent and I had alot of yard work to do the other day so we thought we would buy Zak a new toy to entertain him so we could get some work done.
Had we have known how happy this new toy would make him we would have bought it sooner!

She will be missed

This past week I had to barrie my first Grandparent. Kent has lost two and that was hard. But I have made it 30 years with all 4 Grandparents. I have been extremely lucky and I know it.
My Grandma Lois Hulet was diagnosed with Cancer a little over a year ago. She fought a good battle, better than I ever thought possible. My last memories of my Grandma will be of what a incredibly strong woman she truly was.
She was always there, and when I think that if I want to see her or catch up on family gossip I can't just drive over to talk to her, I still get teary eyed and heart broken.
I am not going to go on and on about her and how much losing her changed my life but I will say that she will be missed!
