Ocala Trip and Reid's 4th Birthday

We went down to Ocala last week to celebrate Reid's birthday, see Becky and Grace who were visiting, and for another special reason that I'll post about soon.  

These two... they love each other so much but bicker like an old married couple.  Lol!  They are seriously the cutest, though.  


Reid had been licking the mixing spatula for the frosting for his cake.  Can you tell?


Some pics from a great afternoon of family time and playing and riding the horse (Ben)...


Ohhhh I could eat her up...


Can you see Peaches in the window?  She wanted out so badly!  J went and got her after we saw her there. 


I love, love, love Grace's face here and everyone looking at her...


Getting ready for cake and presents!


Reid said kind of at the last minute that he wanted a digger cake, so we improvised.  


Oh, Reid.  What can I say about this one?  He is definitely the most "BOY" out of all the boys, he is very passionate about the things he loves and is very loving to the people he loves.  But he also frustrates the heck out of us sometimes!  It seems though that one second he does something that makes us want to scream and then the very next second he does something to make us laugh or want to hug him tight.  Like when I'm reprimanding him and he's staring at me with those huge brown eyes and unintentionally mouthing the words as I say them (because he's usually heard them before).  It makes me want to crack up through my frustration and smooch him right then.  He's so stinkin' adorable that it's hard to stay upset with him for too long.  He still likes diggers and bulldozers but has moved on a little bit and is now obsessed with motorcycles.  He is attracted like a magnet to anything that even remotely looks like dirt or looks like it would be fun to scoop up.  I have a hard time keeping him clean throughout the day because he loves dirt so much... especially in the summer because he gets very sweaty and the dirt just sticks to that sweat!  Lol!  He loves wearing his huge helmet and riding his bike or scooter pretending that its a motorcycle.  He is usually fearless and will try anything.  He has become such a picky eater in the last year, though!  He sucks his middle and ring fingers and rubs his ears when he's tired.  He loves his little green pillow and his bear at bedtime.  He loves the "Fireman Sam" movies on tv.  Like I said, he is very passionate and dramatic and cries very hard when he's hurt in any way.  And he always needs a band aid.  Lol.  We love him so very much!!
