Our little baby turned 6 months old this month! We have been having lots of fun!!! He still does not have any teeth... is having fun rolling over and talking up a storm:) I can't believe that half a year has gone by since he was born.

Nauseous Flower Fairies, Freezing Fun & the Golden Egg Hunt!
First I have to start by saying how much I LOVE this time of year!!! I love the weather, the fact that school is nearing the end, and the flowers and green goodness everywhere.... but most of all I love being able to dress in ridiculous amounts of flowers and pastels and get away with it. Sometimes I say that it looks like the Pastel Flower Fairy threw up all over me. I just love wearing the happy colors and pretty flowers too:) So if you see me and think I am a bit over-board on the whole 'Springiness factor'... don't worry, I am very aware:)
Last year we started a new tradition of going to Dodge for the Pond-Skim and setting up a day camp in the parking lot for a day of tailgating. Jorian trades the owners something for the prime V.I.P. parking spots.... last season they asked him to be a judge for the pond-skim. This year I think we just have to take our cute baby to their house for a visit and drinks this Summer. Okey-Dokey... we can handle that:) Last year we actually camped overnight in J's parents RV, but we figured with the baby this year, that we would just hang for the day. Last year was sunny and hot.... and this year was FREEZING!!!! We had a good crew, and all hung in there though. My mom came with us too, so Jorian and I were able to take a few runs together:)
Sunday we packed up again.. this time for Easter at my moms house in Turlock. Forest is the first kid in the family, but not wanting to miss out on Easter traditions, we have always had an adult Easter-egg hunt. My mom hides tons of little plastic eggs all over her backyard. They are usually easy to find... but the real hunt is to find the 2 Golden Eggs. Each Golden Egg has $ inside... and it is a serious battle! My mom hides them sooo well, and we almost always have to resort to her guiding us with 'hot & cold' clues to narrow down the parts of her yard/porch where the elusive treasures are hidden. Last year Jorian and I found the Golden Eggs... but this year the Reeds were not represented in the winners circle:( Kristin re-captured her title as a Golden-Egg winner, along with Vincent, Woodys girlfriend's son.
We had tons of fun! We know that next year there will be a toddling little blond boy trying to find eggs too... so we may have to work on modeling proper rivalry etiquette, and be a bit more careful around the pool:)
