Updates!

Rem Dog is always a treat.....well, sometimes!  He is at a very naughty stage in his life but for some reason we think it is cute.  Randomly he will come up to you and give you a pinch or squeeze, then run away laughing as you scold him.  He is speaking like crazy, using full sentences.  Judd and Remi fight and wrestle like it is their job and sometimes I want to duct tape the both of them.  Some day I will miss the wrestling!

Our Halloween decorations are already up.  Judd loves to decorate.  I had to fix a couple of things but other than that he did a fantastic job.  Judd always loves a good project!

This little guy is growing way too fast.  I love babies and wish I could have a million of them, but for some reason the after math is always a little challenging.  I know I get a little post partum, which makes it hard for everyone.  You know it is bad when you cry because dumb Caillou's mom is now skinny on the newer episodes and you feel like a huge hippo.  Pathetic I know. Even though it can be tough, I love and adore my boys.  I want to put big bubbles around them and protect them at all times.   

Last week it was Grandparents Day.  Judd invited my mom and could hardly contain himself the whole morning.  My mom is such a champ and I love the snot right out of her.  She is the best mom anyone could ask for.  Judd loves, and I mean loves school and homework.  He comes home every day and reports which kids have had to change their cards.  I have to constantly remind him to focus on learning and not on the kids getting in trouble.  I am amazed at how fast he learns and retains.  He is such a good kid!  

See the mess.   Everyday this kid makes my house look like a hurricane hit.  

My little fire ball!

Love, love, love!

All mine!

Judd got made King for the day at school.  He has waited for this patiently since the beginning of school.  The kids in his class made a book about him and he literally has looked through it a million times.  He tells me who drew what picture and what everything means.  The crown has been worn everywhere.  He wasn't impressed when I said he couldn't wear it to his soccer game.  His chocolate goatie makes me smile.  

Camping

Labor Day weekend we decided to meet Jon's brother, Casey, and his family in Wyoming for one last camping trip.  Jon and Casey were missing in action for most the trip because they were scouting or hunting for elk.  During one of their scouting excursions, they ran into a black bear.  If anyone of you know me well, you know how deathly afraid I am of camping because of bears.  They came out okay but from the sounds of it, Casey left Jon is his dust to become bear bait!  The cousins had a lot of fun playing together and I enjoyed being able to visit with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.  I have come to really like (I think love is too strong of a word) camping and it helps to have a trailer with all the amenities.

Casey & Jen brought several hammocks.  The kids loved them.  I think we may have to invest in some.

Remi...As usual he was a tad naughty.  We are working on not pinching and scratching.

Judd...When did he get so big?

Stetson spent most the time in his stroller or being held by Grandma!

 Remi exploring.  All the kids found the skeleton of an animal.  

Judd target shooting.

Kindergarten

Judd was very excited to start Kindergarten!  I am glad he wasn't scared and was eager to get into the classroom.  I sure miss him, even if he does tease his brother a majority of the time when he is home.  I love this kid!
