Ree Drummond Shares Pic of Son Bryce as He Gears up for Senior Year

Ree Drummond's son is about to enter his senior year of high school, and his mom couldn't be prouder. Her caption reflected surprise at how fast her son had grown up.

On Tuesday, Ree Drummond jumped on Instagram to share two photos of her son, Bryce, who's on his way to his high school senior year this fall. The doting mom accompanied the post with a sweet caption.

"I can't believe he's not a little blond pookie head anymore," she wrote. Ree shares 17-year-old Bryce and kids Alex, 23, Paige, 20, and Todd, 16, with her husband, Ladd Drummond. The post is found below.

In the first shot, Bryce had his arms folded while standing in front of a brick wall. The next slide showed him playing with a football. The number nine was printed on his uniform.

In August 2019, the young man garnered lots of compliments and some flirty responses from his peers when his mom posted another photo of the teenager.

The cookbook author's post was about Bryce's friendship with his best friend, Bill. Yet the attention was mostly on how handsome quickly Bryce had grown up and how handsome he was.

Ree, who stars in Food Network's "The Pioneer Woman: Staying Home," also said farewell to her oldest children when they went off to college not too long ago.

In an Instagram post, Ree described the overwhelming emotions she felt when it was Paige's turn to take off. "Red nose, trembling chin, tight throat, aching heart. Leaving your child at college is no picnic," she wrote.

The couple's eldest daughter, Alex, attained a degree from Texas A&M University. Of course, Ree shared a photo from her graduation day back in May 2018.

Paige currently attends the University of Arkansas. Since the coronavirus pandemic, the family has been spending more time together. Paige and Ree bonded on the popular TikTok app, dancing in the kitchen in March.

Last month, Ree celebrated Alex's birthday with a touching Instagram tribute. She shared a stunning photo of her daughter holding her phone in a gray tripod while wearing a broad smile.

In the caption, Ree listed some of the biblical "fruits of the spirit" as she described what Alex contributes to their household. She joked that her daughter didn't have self-control because, much like her mom, she can't resist chocolate cake and macaroni.
