Remi's Very FIRST TOOTH!

Remington has lost her very first tooth! This was the first one she grew. One of only two she had to help her eat her very first birthday cake! It had been loose for a few weeks and we even took her to see Dr. Toogood last week because the other one was coming in right behind it! He said to keep wiggling, and so her DD helped it right on out on Sunday! Whohoo!! Notice what the tooth fairy brought her..... business must be booming up there! I don't recall my teeth bringing quite as much. :)

To the Man I love

Happy Birthday!! The man I love is a little closer to 40 tomorrow! (4-23-10) He is everything I could have hoped for in a husband. And so much more than I deserve. He is the father I knew he would be and Remington adores him. Thanks you Father in Heaven for blessing our family with this man. I pray that we get many, many more years with him. Love you Clint!! :0)

The Easter parade

My sweet Easter treat before going to praise that the Lord has risen!
Remington, Tatum, and Emma waiting on the prizes after the egg hunt. There were 140 (mostly) family members at this gathering. There are always so many people I don't know.
Pretty good basket of goddies there.

The Animals go Marching 2 by 2 Hurrah!

Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, Texas. If you haven't been and you or your kids love animals, it is a MUST DO. It took us about 4 hours to go through the whole park, driving. It is really huge and very pretty. The animals were all so friendly and gentle. Even though park officials still warn you not to feed out of your hands because they are still, "wild" animals. We had a great time.

They had a Children's Center where the kids could go and pet, feed, brush various animals up close. Remi was even excited about goats, which she has seen quite a lot of already in her life.




I don't know if you can tell here, but the baby is leaning on his mama from the back. So sweet.
There were three baby giraffes and at least six big giraffes. They are definately my favorite that we got to see.
Well we didn't exactly see any "marching" per say, but we did see lots of them eating, mostly out of our hands!

Spring Break with the Wolf


Remington waiting on the bedtime story. Someone from the "Pup Club" comes to the lobby to read all the kids who want to come a story and then they get to meet Wiley, the Wolf. This time the story was Is Your Mama a Llama? The lady who read it did lots of different voices and was fun to listen to.
"Wolf Walk" in the morning before breakfast. The guide leads the kids all around the lobby discussing various animals and their traits. The treehouse is really awesome in person. Also in the lobby.
They had some really cool Native dancers to greet guests this time. I don't remember their name and I doubt I could spell it if I did... but they were cool.


Wolf Lodge was a lot of fun again this year. Remington was tall enough to ride all the slides. (48 in). Although I think Clint enjoyed them more than she did. She was content to play in the water and all the fun toys they had.

Oh... Sweet Muffin....


So the last weekend of Spring Break brings this..... Ear infection, Darth Vader breathing, stuffy nose, no runny nose, no stuffy nose, no runny... no... well you get it.... "seal bark" cough, "Croop". Yeah what a way to end a wonderful time off. But can you imagine how it was when we didn't have the medicine we do now? Waking up with a child who can't breath... who doesn't feel good and there's really very little you can do about it? Praise God for modern science!! We love Doctor Wiley and his staff, even though we see them maybe once a year. That's a good thing, though. So when Remi gets sick, it's usually pretty sick. But even today she is breathing almost normal, still short of breath, but no fever and is feeling fine. Yeah and Praise the Lord for healthy (95% of the time) children!
