End of Summer

Summer 2010 has been fun and relaxing for the Reeder family. We started with dance recital and cheerleader camp and then. . . a Disney cruise and Disney World for our 10th anniversary. August means time to get back to football and cheerleading. Hannah took gymnastics at CC's Gymnastics all summer and loves it. She will take again this fall and be back in ballet and tap. Chad is now my next-door neighbor at school! It's a good thing we like each other so much! And the most exciting thing we have to look forward to--Hannah starts kindergarten at Hillcrest this month. She is so ready. We have our school uniforms and school supplies ready. My mom will be her principal and she has the same teacher as my brother and sister did. So there is a lot to look forward to in our ever-busy fall. I don't know what we would do without so much going on. It is tiring but always a blast!

Spring 2010

Spring time is always fun at the Reeder house with the lull between basketball and football season! We love it when it starts to warm up enough to go outside and play every day after school! We are looking forward to summertime and we have less than 35 days of school to go!
"Peter Cottontail" as Hannah refers to the Easter Bunny, hid eggs outside this year because it was warm and not even raining!

Christmas Time 2009







































Christmas is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for us. It is such a special time that draws you closer to both God and family, as it should. It was really special this year with Hannah being very aware of the Christmas story. We had lots of discussions about the birth of Jesus, and there's no way we adequately answered her dozens of questions! She was a sheep in our kids' muscial at church and sang songs at her school Christmas party with her class. Santa brought her a scooter and she is a dangerous driver. We spent Christmas Eve at my grandmother Patsy's house after the candlelight service at church, which is my favorite tradition of the season. Chad and I kicked off Christmas break with a trip to the Saints/Cowboys game with his sister, Taffi, and her husband, Britt.


Christmas Break was followed up by a trip to Dallas for the NCA Nationals for my RHS cheerleaders to compete! They did awesome--placing 1st in Sideline Cheer, 2nd in Fight Song, and 4th in Timeout Dance. Check them out at nca.varsity.com (you can search for Nationals and then Ruston). I was so proud of them! Way to go CATS! Well, school has resumed and that means basketball season at Ruston High for the Reeder family!
