REED'S 1ST TIME TO FLY IN A BIG PLANE!!!

Reed went on his first big plane ride
during the Christmas holidays.
We flew to Oklahoma City
to see the Buntz clan.

Reed was such a big boy on the ride to
Oklahoma City and on the ride back home.
He didn't fuss one time. He was a perfect
little angel. We were so proud of him.

Daddy & Reed checking out all the big planes
at the Memphis airport. Whoa!

As soon as we got to Grammie's house,
Reed had to go check out the lake!

Lala and Reed threw some sticks in the lake.

Cameron and Danielle throwing some of
Grammie's rocks into the lake.
Grammie even let them throw some of her
cool rocks into the water.
Cameron and Reed taking a closer look.

While Reed took his nap, we put together
Blaze. Blaze is the horse that Grammie
got for Reed. Danielle taking Blaze for a test ride.
Reed gave Cameron some sweet lovin'
after he woke up from his nap.

Time to open Blaze!

Reed trying to figure out what was under
the blankets.

He thinks he found what we were hiding...

Reaching for what he thinks was the surprise...

The dog! He walked off carrying the dog.
He thought that was the surprise.
We had to take the dog away and tell
him to go look for something else under
the blankets.
Taking another look...

He found Blaze's leg.

Whoa! It's a horse!

This is sooo cool!

He was ready to jump on for a ride.

Cameron showing Reed what to do.

Giddy up!

Yee Haw!

Reed clapping for himself.

During all of the excitement, Reed found
someone's Cream Soda can...YUMMY!

Time for more presents.

Reed had to make sure he got all of the
wrapping paper off the box.

Preston opening his present from us.

Check out the pair of thongs he got for Christmas.

He was a good sport and even tried them on.

Preston discovering that there was actually
money in the thongs...He was a happy boy!

Reed opening up another present from Grammie.
It's a camo Hummer and four-wheeler.
It came with a little man, so I showed
him where the man would sit in the Hummer.
Well....
Reed tried to get in the Hummer too.
He would lift his leg and try to put it in the
Hummer. We have no idea what made
him think he could fit in there, but
he was not happy...at all!
The fam attempting to play Mad Gab.

Reed loving on a teddy bear.

Cameron reading a book to Reed.

The next morning, Lala wrapped Reed in
a blanket and took him out to feed the ducks.

Lala took Sam out of the cage, so Reed
could get a closer look. He thought
that was very cool!
Preston's birthday cake that
we made for him! Reed thought
it was for him. It was so funny!
The big, bad 18 year old!

Reed wearing Preston's boots.

Conner being a good sport and
wearing his thongs that we got him.

Reed loving on Danielle. He called her
"Da" and loved playing with her.

Grammie, Reed, & Momma

Grammie, Danielle, Reed, Momma,
Preston, & Cameron

We had a wonderful time in Oklahoma City.
We miss everyone!

There are SO many good pictures that I want to comment on! There's no doubt that Reed had a good time. I still can't get over him being such a good passenger on the airplane.

It's a typical Monday morning for me, but thinking about Reed trying to fit in the Hummer has just made everything so much better! Uncle Benjie and I laughed SOOO hard over that picture. I had to come back to see it again. - - Hilarious!
