More Birthday Fun!

Leah had a fun birthday party. (a couple of months ago)  We actually remembered to come!  Although we didn't remember to post for awhile.  We struggle.

 Pretty, pretty!

 Yummy cake!

 Piñata - always a favorite with the kids.

We had a fun picnic in the backyard.

And enough My Little Pony garb to satisfy any 4-year old!  Super party!  Happy Birthday, cute girl!

Ainsley's First Birthday

The Reed Family goes all out for the first birthday party.  The theme was pumpkin patch. (obviously)

 It was a joint party with her BFF.

 We almost forgot (OK, maybe we did forget)  We missed out on the pumpkin decorating, the crafts, and the fun treats.  But we got there in time to take some cute pictures.

Brianna always does a great job!  What a cute mom!

Happy Birthday, sweet Ainsley!

Soccer

It's been a long time since I had a kid in soccer.  Although it was lots of fun - uniforms, practices, snacks, schedules, I have to admit,  it's so much easier as a grandma!

 Asher did great!  He takes it very seriously.

 Ryan coached the team.  They won every game but one, which they tied.  Great coaching!

And Ainsley and Atley cheered from the sidelines.

The Battle of the Cougars

Here is how I have fun while DTB is working in Ohio (via Brazil and Mexico)

We went to the showdown of the Houston Cougars vs the BYU Cougars

I was pretty stoked, as I graduated from the U of H and all of my kids graduated from BYU. 

It was no- lose situation.  And either way, the Cougars won!

Ryan decided we had to get a picture in front of the Astrodome.   Lots of memories there - Astros' games, Houston rodeo, 10 K's on Labor Day.  I'm glad we got the picture before they decided to tear it down.

 Ainsley just came along for the ride . . .

and the popcorn.

It was the most exciting football game I've ever watched!  The guy next to us in the stands got a little over-zealous and the kids learned a few words they've never heard before.
