BONUS KID

Meet Jamar, Ree's "bonus son." In an excerptĀ from her forthcoming book of essays,Ā Frontier Follies, the cook introduced her foster son, Jamar, who has been living on their Oklahoma ranch for the past year and a half. Ree kept Jamar out of the spotlight at first because of state agency restrictions, but now that he is 18, they no longer apply.

"He’s larger than life, has a hilarious laugh, and is extremely smart—both book and street. He’s a great kid who’s overcome some difficulties in his life," she writes. "I’m proud of the kid, and I can’t wait to see where life takes him."

GRADUATION DAY

The culinary star celebrated her daughter Paige's high school graduation during the same weekend as her nephew Caleb's. She shared photos of her kids at both ceremonies, and was sentimental about the entire weekend. "They were all tiny cowboys/cowgirls yesterday! Now they won't stop graduating from high school," she wrote on Instagram. "I asked Bryce and Todd to promise me they will never pursue independence, higher education, or any of that nonsense that would one day take them away from their mother. (They have not gotten back to me yet...)"

GRADUATION DAY

Ree was understandably emotional at Alex's high school graduation in 2015. "She's a graduate! This is before the ceremony. DURING the ceremony, when it was our turn to get on stage and speak to our child, I cried and passed my husband the mic, then he cried and passed me the mic," she wrote. "We are not handling this well. But the rest of the ceremony was just dandy! Ha."
