It's Roundup Time!

I never attended the Rattlesnake Roundup before moving here to Sweetwater and I am happy to say that this year we will be out of town for it! Just the thought of all those rattling snakes in one area gives me the willies! I mean I know they are "contained" and the people have been doing this for years. However, I do not feel the need to subject myself to the noise and smell of these creatures just to get a funnel cake and homemade lemonade. I shall wait for the West Texas Fair and Rodeo to come back to Abilene, Thank you very much. BUt.... in honor of the "Roundup" there was a parade. Remington's little friend, Caleb, asked her to ride in it and throw candy. She, without giving it a moment's thought, of course said "YES!" Caleb's grandpa is running to be re-elected to Nolan County judge. They had a great time. Also riding and pictured here are Easton and Ruger, more of Little Miss' friends from school and church.

Fuzzy Bunny

Remi enjoyed going to the stockshow here in Sweetwater and visiting the bunnies. One of Daddy's powerlifters showed rabbits and let us love on one.
She loved it so much that they gave us one. She named him Felix or Cecil, or something... She can't decide. Thank you Nemirs!! We love our new fuzzy bunny!

Blog Binding?

Does anyone know the website that will bind your blog for you?

Sweet Treat

Clint always enjoyed snow ice cream as a child. I don't recall ever making it. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. But one thing is for sure, Remi loves it and so do I!! Sugar, vanilla, milk, and then add snow. I have no idea the amounts we just add till it tastes good!

We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman!

Our little snow family.

Snow today!!! It snowed at least 3 or 4 inches and we played outside all day!

Clint built Remi a great fort and she made good use of it trying to get him! She managed a few good shots.

Hello?

Yes this is me, Julie. Remember me? I used to come to a very fun group called BUNCO in Abilene and I used to post pictures of our life right here on this very blog? Yeah... I don't have an excuse that is even remotely good for not being here more often. Sleep? Yes, I am big fan. And my husband would tell you I do quite a lot of it. Which is true. But I really am going to do a better job of sharing our life via our blog, because I love reading about all of you and your families, and I WILL NOT FORGET BUNCO again!! :) So... on that note, here are some pictures of some things that have not been posted for wayyyyyy too long.

This is a picture Remington drew of her family at school. The untrained eye probably would not notice that she drew Clint's new boots with the cross on the toe, or that she has her "new shoes" on, or that her cat, Ziggy has stripes. She even included Joe and Chloe and made them very fluffy because they had not been to the groomer in a very long time.



Yes, it was quite cold but we had a roasting outside anyway.
Remi is a part of a group called TOT here in Sweetwater. They come to her school once a week and teach ball handling skills, early learning concepts and character building. Here she is preforming at halftime at the varsity bball game the other night. She had a great time..... Can you tell?

Happy New Year 2010!! Like I said these have not been posted for wayyy too long! But we had fun anyway dancing the night away......

Remi and her cousins, Tatum and Emma at the deer lease over Christmas break. We just got back from my parents this weekend and they had a great time again. It is awesome they are all so close in age. Look at Tatum's face.... wonder who he's about to get with that snowball???
