Please Pray for Us

We are finishing up our packing and getting ready for our Reid Family Vacation. For those of you who don't know, all 13 of us (6 kids 5 and under :)) plus a babysitter are flying to Orlando for the week. Please pray that all the traveling goes smoothly and that the boys do well.

We have everything we need in two suitcases, 3 carryons, 1 double stroller, and I think that is it! I hope to be able to post while we are gone. Love you all and miss you already!

PS- so many people posted Friday and Saturday but I didn't get to comment or read them all! I will when I get back, I promise :)

KidFest 2008

Here are a few pics from KidFest. I didn't get many this year because I was running around getting Cole settled. For those of you who don't get to go, our church has lots of fun stuff for the kids, inflatables, hayride, carnival games, and biblical scenes to walk through. Well they do the nativity scene and Cole was Baby Jesus. So I had to get him situated and stay with him off and on all night. So I missed out on some stuff, but not too much!

Here are my little men before we left the house!

The boys loved the carnival! One of the big attractions was Mimi's ping pong toss to win a goldfish. Caden actually won his, then Mimi decided that Carter needed one too! Much to Cory's dismay, we came home with two goldfish! As of 1pm Saturday, one was dead...as of 6pm the other passed on! Oh well, Maggie (our cat) was eyeing them all night anyway, they didn't have a chance!

Happy Halloween

We decided to go to Trunk or Treat this year at the Church of Christ here in town. I wanted to the boys to get some mileage out of this year's costumes...I am not sure what I was thinking. We had fun and they got more candy than they or their momma needs to eat! We met Brandy, Tyrel, and Graydon there. It was fun! Here are a few shots of our little men...

Cole, the friendly and very tired ghost!

Caden the fireman and Carter the elephant! Thanks to Tate for the fireman costume and Grammie for making such a cool elephant! Also thanks to Grandma Verla for the cool pumpkin flashlights, they came in handy that night!

Carter and Graydon: Best Buddies

This will have to do for now. We will be going to our church and KidFest tonight. I will post more pics of tonight after KidFest is over!

Halloween Flashback

I have seen a few others post Halloween Flashback pics, so I thought I would join in!

My Little Race Car Driver 2005 (14 months old)

In 2006 we began our obsession with Thomas, so Caden (2 yrs old) was a Train Engineer.
Here he is with Daddy practicing, "ALL ABOARD!"

Now last year, 2007, we got to dress two little boys! Caden was obsessed with Diego, so we of course did what he wanted. Carter just had to be what we had, which was a lion. But we decided he was sort of Baby Jaguar to go with Diego. Caden was 3 yrs and Carter was 10 months.

Stay tuned for this year's costumes...they are pretty cool!

UPDATE!

Cole's checkup went great! He was 14lbs. 9 oz. and 24 inches long! He was healthy and will go back in 2 months. For those of you thinking he is huge, his brothers were both 14lbs. 12 oz. and 24 1/2inches long at 2 months. So not that big right :)

Pray Today for MckMama

While you are guessing Cole's weight today (SEE BELOW) also take a minute to pray for this family. MckMama is a cute little lady I have been following and here is the short version of her story. When I found her blog she was only around 20 weeks pregnant or so and her baby was having some sort of heart problems, his little heart was beating over 300 beats per minute. Anyway, the doctors told MckMama and her husband that Baby Stellan was not going to make it to delivery or ever live outside the womb. Well God and all of us prayer warriors thought differently. She made it to delivery today and he is to be born in a matter of minutes. Also his heart condition is cleared up for the most part. You can find their entire story to the right on my blog or by clicking the link above. She is great blogger, funny and has cute anonymous nicknames for her family! She is also another testament of faith in God! He is bigger than all our circumstances and it has been awesome watching Him work in the lives of this family! Just check it out!

***UPDATE***

Baby Stellan is here! Check out this post and read what God has done! He is definitely still in the miracle business!

Cole's 2 Month Check Up

I want you all to try and guess his weight again...but this time I will make it more fun and buy the winner a coke and a treat!

Brotherly Love

I snapped these pictures one day last week. We are always wanting pics of the three boys, so I got a few when they were actually cooperating! Carter just loves holding Cole, he thinks that Cole is his baby, and gets a little irritated if you try to take him back! Caden is a great big brother and always takes time to make sure Cole is okay!
