...without the minivan of course! (No offense to my mini-van-driving friends. I know they're more convenient and wonderful. I just. can't. do. it. haha!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday, September 24th, was Reid's first official soccer game/practice. And I think this is just the beginning of a very long sports career ahead of us! As a parent, it's truly incredible to see your child thrive somewhere. And when I say Reid thrived on that soccer field... I mean it. He THRIVED. Ben and I have never seen him follow direction so well and concentrate so hard - all while having the time of his life! It was very clear that sports is going to be Reid's "thing" - and we love that. And are so thankful to have found something that he is passionate about at such a young age.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We registered Reider in the Little Rockers 3 year old program through the LRFC and he plays on Monday evenings from 5:30 - 6:30pm. Since they are so young, it's just one hour per week where they learn ball handling skills and soccer basics. It's perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has been wanting to play on a team for the last year and a half. Every time we would drive by the fields near our house he would say, "Mommy! Tell them I am 4 and I can pway on their team!!!" So you can only imagine his excitement yesterday as we were getting ready for his first "soccer game"...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a pic... he's been wearing his new soccer cleats and shin guards for the last week. Too cute!</div>

We signed up (very last minute) with two of his buddies, Sam Hurtado and Owen Smith. When we got out to the fields yesterday, it was so fun to see several other boys from their class at school - Ben Bibles, Murphy Galivant, & Cole Sessions. They all had such a great time together!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"Oh yes, Mommy.

The cutting of "things" with scissors... The fact that he is now noticing other people's outfit ensembles... Or why in the world he was threatened with the Director's office. This kiddo will keep me busy for sure! Oh how we love him!</span></span></div>

On Monday, August 20th, Reid started his first day of PreK3 in Miss Amy and Miss Jodi's class at Second Presbyterian Preschool. When did my baby boy get SO BIG?!?</div>

To say he was excited would be an understatement! Reid loves school which makes this Mommy very happy.</div>

On Friday, August 17th, we got to meet Reid's new teachers for PreK3. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Ms. Jodi and Ms. Amy! Reid will be going to preschool again this year at Second Presbyterian here in West Little Rock. He will be in school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30am - 3:00pm. Along with his big classroom time he will also have Spanish class, music class, art, technology, science, and Chapel (all rotated thru the week). Such a big boy!</div>

<b>Ben and I completely love the age that Reid is at - 3 is so fun(ny)! He says the most random things that crack us up so here are a few that I have written down...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Me: "Reid, it's time for bed."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Reid: "No thank you, Mommy. It's been a great day so I'm just gonna stay right here and play with my trains a little longer." </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">At least he's polite about it???</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Reid cleared his plate at dinner tonight except for the vegetables, of course. When I asked him to take a bite he looked at me...put his little hand on his hip...and said very disappointedly, "Mommy, you KNOW I not wike bwoccowi and cawotts."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Ben: "Reid, do you remember your Bible verse for this week?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Reid: "God is with you wherever you go. Even when I go to K-Mart."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Reid just named his new dinosaur "Bono"... Makes this Mommy happy! Must be doin' something right ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Me: "Dinner's ready!"<br />Reid (on the verge of total melt down): "NOOOOOO!!!! I'm pwaying videos!!! I don't like dinner!!!"<br />Ben: "Reid, you can come sit down at the table and eat dinner or lose all videos for the rest of the night."<br />Reid (walking into the kitchen with angelic smile): "I just wove dinner! It wooks dewicious, Mommy!"<br />Blackmail works, people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">When you're 3 yrs old, time-outs can be quite dramatic. Especially when you look at your Mom and say "Are you happy now?!?" and she tacks on another minute. Wow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">And finally... Reid has begun noticing that people look different from each other. We have many talks in our house about loving ALL people - skinny, large, short, tall, etc. So the other night we were sitting at a restaurant with some friends and Reid began grabbing my arm and pointing at the lady sitting directly behind us. "Mommy!! Mommy!! Look at her!!! Mommy!" Embarrassed and without even turning around, I asked him quietly to sit down in his chair. As he's trying his best to obey he loudly says, "Well I'm not SAYING that she's fat...". Oy vey.</span></div>

It's so hard to believe... but yes, I turned one year older on July 1st. I have to say that I am loving my 30s!</div>

I had a wonderful birthday with my sweet husband and little guy, Reid - we went to dinner and they spoke straight to this techie girl's heart when they got me a new iPad... ha! =) Then my amazing Little Rock girlfriends planned a fun kiddo-free night out for the girls! They took me to my favorite wine bar and restaurant - Sushi Cafe! What a great night!</div>

The hardest part about Ben and I being on our cruise for such a long time was how much we missed our little dude. I mean... WE. MISSED. HIM. As much fun as we were having, we still shed many tears wishing he was with us and hoping he was doing well. (Which he was... he was was more than fine!) We are so blessed to have two wonderful families that help out so much! He spent half of the time with Grandma & Pops (Ben's parents) and half of the time with KK & Doc (my parents).</div>

All of the grandparents were great at keeping us updated with pictures of our sweet boy - it truly helped! Here are a few from Reid's time with Grandma & Pops...</div>

While Reid was with KK & Doc, they made a trip down to Corpus Christi to see Aunt NeeNee and Uncle Craig. It was Reid's first time (that he remembers) to visit the beach. He LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Aunt NeeNee and Uncle Craig turned him into quite the beach bum. Here are some incredible pics that my great photographer sister took =)</div>

Again, we can't thank our families enough for all of their help! Reid loved every second he got to spend with you all. THANK YOU a million times over!</div>

The first trip of our summer truly was the trip of a lifetime! From May 26 - June 7, Ben and I got to go on a Mediterranean Cruise from London around to Rome. To say it was INCREDIBLE doesn't even do it justice. It was such a sweet time for the two of us to have... to reconnect... and make some awesome memories together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I continue, I have to say how blessed we were that BOTH of our families pitched in to help with Reid. He had a VERY FUN few weeks with all of the grandparents (pics of that to come in the next post!). I don't think he even realized we were gone - ha! I also have to say that I can't begin to post all of our pics - I had to make a whole other Shutterfly book just for this trip. So, for the purposes of the blog, I'll just hit the highlights of our trips by posting a pic or two from each country we visited along the way.</div>

One of the hugest blessings for our family since moving to Little Rock is our amazing Community Group. Seriously. These people and their families have been a God-send. Our group consists of seven families - The Penick's, The Martin's, The Darby's, The Lanaux's, The Garner's, The Collins', and us. We love them all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part about our CG is that we all have genuine fun together - even the kids! (All 14 of them!) Last night, the Lanaux's hosted a big Shrimp & Grits and crab boil at their home to celebrate Jan's birthday. What a fun night! Here are a few pics...</div>

I literally look forward to it ALL. YEAR. LONG. Ha! It's such a fun week of relaxing and hanging out with great friends who are scattered all over the country now. (And our parents are WONDERFUL to take all of the kids! Reid spent the week in TX being completely spoiled by Grandma & Pops and KK & Doc!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This year, we headed out to The Phoenician Golf & Spa resort in Scottsdale, AZ. It is possibly my favorite resort I've been too. It was wonderful! Par for the course, I didn't take very many pictures. But we had a fabulous 6 days of doing absolutely nothing! We laid by the pool every day... the guys golfed... the girls did spa stuff... then we went out to dinners and dancing at night. Fantastic!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a pic of Ben and I</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipIwGanadps/T3u-HSGWzpI/AAAAAAAADZ0/4FidIZE4ZSU/s1600/1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer;
