Social Bookworm



Meet our SOCIAL BOOKWORM!  Reed likes to do 2 things: read and play with his friends.  If there is any free time at all, he is usually curled up on the couch or sitting in the bookworm reading.  He loves all chapter books at the moment, especially Magic Treehouse and Harry Potter.  His obsession with Harry Potter got a little out of hand that I had to force him to do something other than read.  We've only let him read up to book #4, but he would then start rereading his favorite chapters.  I am so glad that I don't have to force him to read though.
If he's not reading, he wants to be playing with friends (luckily, Taryn included).  He has 5 neighbor friends that are his go-to and we often have them all playing at our house at the same time.  He loves it.

Allergy boy


Meet our ALLERGY BOY!  Corbin is allergic to a lot of things including all nuts, egg whites, and milk.  He also seems to suffer from seasonal allergies and apparently, we don't know everything he is allergic to (hence the swollen lips which we never identified as to why).  Poor kid is often itching his arms and legs for unknown reasons.  We have EpiPens that we will hopefully never have to use.

Barbecue Princess


Meet our BARBECUE PRINCESS!  Whenever there is food around, you can find Taryn.  She asks me every morning what I am making for dinner (it makes me crazy!) and 9 times out of 10, her favorite part of her day is something she ate.  Eating takes priority over playing with friends, and her favorite food is barbecue!  Her face lights up whenever Kevin starts up the smoker.  She's the first to sneak a bite and it makes us so happy how much she appreciates good food.
