Remolicious

 One of Remi's favorite thing is his fly swatter from the dollar store.  Don't worry it has never been used on a single bug.  However, I think everyone in the family, including the dog, has been swatted by Remi. 

 I am not sure why I am so obsessed with taking pictures of Remi while eating but I think it is because he really enjoys his food and it is everywhere by the end of the meal.  

 Getting his freak on with some scramble eggs.

 Remi took a bite, then Abbey.  A little sharing was going on without my knowledge.  

 Still enjoys a good bath in the sink.

 Poor little guy has a balancing act with his big head and belly :).  Love the popped knee.

 Typical Remi...taking a bite out of crime.

I am in love!

I'll Love You Forever!

One book that I love reading to Judd is about a mom who rocks her child to sleep (at all ages), and as she does she sings........I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I am living my baby you'll be.  I sing the same thing to Judd but I like to spice up the version a little...I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, Forever and ever my baby you'll be.  

Getting this little ball of thunder to bed at a decent hour has been difficult, but I know as soon as preschool starts he will need his beauty sleep.   

JUDD

I am pretty head over hills for this little four year old.  He makes me crazy sometimes but I love him to the moon.  Judd changes every day and I feel like he has matured so much, and faster than I would like.  He isn't my little baby anymore.  He is a handsome young boy that is developing tender little feelings.  He makes motherhood so fun, both my boys do.  The other day he asked me, "What is that Halloween Goblin's name?"  I responded with, "Huh."  He then continued and said, "You know Mom.  The one you get when you get baptized."  That is when I said, "You mean the Holy Ghost."  "Yup, that's the one."  His cousin just got baptized and he is so intrigued with the whole thing.  We love you Judd.  You are an important puzzle piece to our little family.

  

REMI

Remi 101

1.  He is teething like the dickens and isn't impressed with it all all.

2.  Throws a tantrum like a champ...bucks his head, bites, hits, scratches, kicks.  You name it, he does it.  If you laugh at him during one of his tantrums, he wants to tear your face off.

3.  Loves the word "look."

4.  Loves to get his picture taken and will pose with an occasional "cheese."

5.  Loves to tease his brother.

6.  Loves giving Abbey (the dog) hugs.

7.  Has the best dirty look anyone could ask for.

8.  Loves to play with trucks and makes varoom sounds.

9.  Is pretty impressed with corn dogs, granola bars, candy, and chocolate milk.

10.  Likes trying on any sort of shoes.

11.  Likes to throw just about anything.  The other day, while driving, I thought I got rear ended.  Nope.  It was Remi's hot dog that he threw from his car seat at my head, which ricocheted off my shoulder.  Little Pill!

12.  He likes to show his belly button off but I don't blame him.

13.  Popsicles are Heaven for him.

14.  Slides are fun and he likes to do them by himself.  If you help, he shoves your hand away.

There are so many other things I could list but it would go on forever.  Although he can be a handful, we love our Remkins.  Our family has forever been enriched with this little gem :).    

T-Ball

We signed Judd up for T-Ball and he is pretty sold on it.   His coach has done a great job with this little group.  I find 4 and 5 year olds hilarious, when it comes to learning a new sport.  Most the time when you tell them where to throw the ball or where to run, they just look at you like you have acorns coming out of your head.  They are a cute little bunch.  

 Judd cheering on one of his team mates.  Jon typically helped coach first base.  

This sums up a four year old.  Judd was suppose to be working second base but instead he was doing cart wheels and collecting dandelions!
