Oh the things we do...

My goodness, I always think that for some reason my life will slow down a little bit. That perhaps the craziness will just let me breath for a while but no such luck. This summer has been flying by and I simply have not had time to update my blog. So I am warning you now, this is a picture overload blog of all the various things we have been up to. We wanted Remy to go to the zoo this year. He loves animals, now to him they are all puppies and they all woof or pant but he loves them all the same. It was sooo hot at the zoo that many of the animals weren't out and about. He did love looking at the ducks and the little cats. I don't think he could see the animals unless they were moving, or he just thought they were a stuffed animal. who knows but he had fun.

Here we are looking at the cats, I can't actually remember what type of cats they are but they are small, well not as big as the lions but not as small as a house cat. They had kittens that were scampering about and it was fun to watch them.

I also had my golf league final year end banquet. I had to bring some form of dessert so I made these lovely sugar cookies. They are supposed to have a golf ball and a flag on the green. I am definately not a professional cake decorator but I figured that this would be fairly easy to figure out at a golf banquet. My team ended up coming in 3rd place out of 8 teams.

My parents have also been overhauling their backyard for all of the grandkids. They put in a special play place. It has a sandbox and wood chips. My mom also got the coolest toys to play with and this piece of playground equipment. It is an airplane. Shaun put it together. It holds up to 7 kids at a time. the wings in the front and back are teeter-totters and than 3 kids can sit in the body of the plane. The front seat has a steering wheel that turns the propellar. It seriously is so awesome and Remy loved it!!!

There he is inside of the plane twirling the propellar.

Wahoo!! the teeter totter is so fun. It makes me wish I was a kid again. My mom also got a mud-pie kitchen that has a little sink and a mixer to make mud pies. It is so cute and Remy loved it. He likes to watch me make cookies so mixing a mudpie was loads of fun.

Here are Remy and Daddy eating grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner.

Remy is an outside boy and he and Chappy have been patrolling the yard together. They did take a break the other day. I looked outside and there they were taking a gold fish cracker break in the shade. I have to keep a close eye on him because he eats rocks and also tries to put rocks in the air conditioner. Naughty boy!!!

Here is Remy in my special boots. Why are they special you may ask? Not all of you know this about me but back in the day I was in fact a Rodeo Queen. Yes, the big poofy hair, the sparkly shirts, the whole bit!! These were my modeling boots for those contests and Remy is always playing with them so I finally put him in them. He felt like such a big boy walking around in those cool boots.

Speaking of a sweet boy, Shaun got me flowers for our anniversary and Remy loves to smell them. He will run into the kitchen and point to the flowers so that he can smell them. The other day he came into the house and came up to me so excited. I bent down and he put a leaf into my hand. He was so proud that he had picked me a flower. He was pointing to different parts of the "flower" showing me how pretty it was and he would smell it so I would know what to do. It just melted my heart, my little boy brought me a flower, well leaf but whatever, it was so sweet.
