Our new house hopefully!!!

More for Lynette!

This one is for you Lynette!!!

I know it has been way way too long since I have written or even thought of writing anything in this here blog, but I guess it is time at least to update on what is going on with the Reed family.

Ryan graduated FINALLY from law school and got a job in Las Vegas so here we are!!
I started school- with Ryan being done we thought that it was time for me to be tortured. I am working on my Elementary Education degree, it should take me two and a half years but I am excited to finally be doing something.

The kids are doing great and love living in Las Vegas because we have a POOL in our apartment complex and have been able to swim most days. My kids have become little fish, and the weather has been nice enough that we were even able to go out tonight.

Ryan is liking his job and got sworn in last week, it is official-- he is a lawyer and we are all so proud of him. We are busy and are loving where we are in life. We miss being around family, but the good thing is that living in Las Vegas we get a lot more visitors.

That is all for now, and hopefully I will post again soon--don't hold your breath!!!

Skittles anyone?

Taven being of school age and interested in all sorts of things decided that he wanted to do a science project to take to school. We attended science night and learned how to make the board and all of that so I said why not. Well yesterday we got the stuff to "Scientifically see what color of skittles has the most per pack" He and Aspen opened the packs and did a good job of recording the numbers. The rest was up to me to put it altogether, I think I worked on the stupid thing for 5 hours before I was finshed. I can already tell that I am going to be the mom that fusses over her kids homework to make sure that it is perfect- I don't want to be, really I don't- but what choice to I have? Anyway he takes it to school tomorrow and for now we have a ton of Skittles to eat! YUMMY!

Tea Party Time!

Santa brought Aspen a realy tea set for Christmas, so one day when her friends where over we had a tea party! She is such a fun girly girl!

Palo Duro Canyon

For spring break we headed north to Amarillo and went hiking in PaloDuro (the grand canyon of Texas-ya right!!!) We went with our friends Nicole and Brent Nelson and their little girl Danielle. The kids had a ton of fun and although it was a little breezy it is still so great to get outside and do something. We don't really get very many chances to be in the great outdoors in Lubbock! If you have been here, you know what I am talking about!

Taven spent a majority of our hike looking for the elusive chinchilla! I think he really thought that he was going to find one. This is Ryan narrating on the Chinchilla adventure!
