Sigblings share parents. Cousins share a grandparent. Second cousins share a great-grandparent. And so on. They are all in the same generation as you. The once removed thing is used to describe people who aren't in the same generation.
So, your mother's first cousins (they share a grandparent) are your first cousins once removed (as you are theirs). Their children are your second cousins, because your mother and her cousins' grand parent are your great grandparent.
I got the chart you sent by email. I remember a chart Fleta has once that showed kinship.
I think that Reed is my 3rd cousin. His Gfather is my cousin and his mother is my second cousin so I think he is my 3rd cousin. But what is he to Greta?
Reed's Grandfather and I are first cousins. What number of cousins are Reed and Greta?

I agree with Patsy -- 3rd cousins.
If you and Reed's grandfather are first cousins, your children and his are second cousins, and your grandchildren and his are third cousins.
Those are some mighty cute babies.
