Reid and Ben's birthday party at Hilltop September 2013

We all enjoyed Reid and Ben's combined birthday party at Hilltop Fun Center this year.  The kids loved laser tag, go karts, the arcade games, and the food and cake!

Ben's 5th Birthday

We celebrated Ben's 5th birthday twice, once at home and once at camp with a bunch of family!  Here Ben is getting his birthday cake at home.

 And his hula hoop

 We all had to try

 Reid loves to hula hoop!

 Then this is the celebration at camp, Ben's cousin Maddyx is carrying her Dad's "cake" as his birthday is right before Ben's.

 Ben with a whole lot of cupcakes!

 Thank you Grammy for my pillow pet!

 and Pops for my Woody hat

All the kids loved the tent!

Ralph and Jeans

Reid, Ben, Matt and I enjoyed a trip to the Samoset for a few days after the kids got out of school. Again this was a work trip for Matt and we tagged along. Tristan wasn't out of school yet :(. Unfortunately we didn't take a single picture at the Samoset but we went to Ralph and Jean's house for a night on our way home and had a blast! We also got some good pictures. It had been raining all day and then we arrived at Ralph and Jean's and the sun came out, yeah! We took the boat down river to have dinner at Spinney's. Here are Reid and Ben sporting Jean's awesome hats on the boat.Ben with a BIG grin on his face as he helps Ralph navigate the boat home after dinner. You can see Fort Popham in the background, love this shot! Well not a great picture of me but I loved the boat ride! And yes I'm sporting one of Jean's hats too!

The captains getting us home through the mist/fog. It was a perfect night!

Lake Placid

Matt and I were very fortunate to enjoy a short get-a-way to Lake Placid this year. Pops watched the kids for us and I tagged along with Matt on a work trip. We stayed right in Lake Placid and loved walking through the small town. The ski jumps were fun to see and some of the Olympic memorabilia. We went for walk at High Falls Gorge, see picture below, Matt loves this tree! :) Me on the walkway on the side of the gorge.

The Falls.

Cute picture of us on a hiking trail near the falls.

We loved trying out the bobsled run. I was nervous at the top but it was great. We would like to come back and try it on snow!

Matt all ready to go!

Reid's 1st grade Concert

Here are a few pictures from Reid's 1st grade concert. Reid is wearing a purple dress in the middle right of the picture below. We went to eat pizza before the concert and Reid was all dressed up and very excited for her concert when she fell and bloodied her knee :(. Why does stuff like this always happy right before concerts or graduations etc? Here is Reid waving to us.

Reid's principle addressing the audience.

West Branch Pond 2010

We had another great year at West Branch Pond! It was so hot up there though, since when is it 90 degree's in Greenville before Memorial Day??? Matt's parents went with us this year and I think they really enjoyed it! Most of us went for walk on some of Eric's new trails. Reid is walking with Avis and their dog in the picture below. Reid, Ben, Eric and Avis taking a break.

See the moose in the background? G&G Byrd got to see sooooo many moose on this trip!
