Dave and Connie's 50th!

A sweet family picture.  I love my little Remme Family :)


What a wonderful celebration!
My step-dad Jeff's parents Connie and Dave celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year!
Their kiddos put together a great surprise party!
50 years ago they weren't able to have a band at their reception, so of course it was necessary to surprise them with a polka band.
The kiddos had a blast....Reese wouldn't get off the dance floor.
We did end the night with the stomach flu (poor Carter Man) but up until that point it was a great time!


My handsome little man (who doesn't look so little anymore)

Little Missy Is Two

Sweet lil Reesey turned two in March and she just had her 2 year check up :)  
Reese did great!  She sat so nicely for Dr. Mahony and got one ouchie in her leg.  She cried for about 5 seconds and then was excited to get tatoos and stickers!  

Reese is:

34 1/2 inches (60th Percentile)

25 lbs (20th percentile) Our little peanut

Head 19 inches (75th percentile)

She is healthy little girl and is right on track with her vocab as a two year old.  She should be saying 2 words together which is what she has been doing :)  (We are just used to Mr. Carter who was a talkative little man)

Reese climbs up and down the stairs like a big girl, most of the time not holding on to anything
She is incredibly independent and usually would prefer to do things on her own.  ie: getting into the car and her car seat, walk in parking lots, brushing her teeth, put on her socks (and of course the specific ones she picked out), climb and play on things outside without assistance and then end it with "I DID IT!"

Little Reese loves being outside.  I joke by saying the poor girl hasn't really experienced MN outside since she was born.  The spring and summer of 2012 was fabulous but she was a newborn.  The next spring sucked and we were in the townhouse for the summer while we rented and didn't use the tiny yard much.  And then from November until now we have been stuck inside.  So when this girl gets outside she DOES NOT want to come back in and will throw a tantrum.  "Outside!" is a frequent word out of her mouth.

Her and her brother are always racing to things and she will yell out "I win!" (maybe she will be a runner like her Mommy)

Reese loves baby dolls, my ponies, books, Singing "Let it Go," and of course her Minnie Mouses.  You can also tell that she has a big bro because she loves playing with Carter's train set, cars and playmobil (she may like it even more because she knows it bugs Carter)  

Reese has the BEST facial expressions and always makes us giggle with her eye rolling, mad face and her pouty lips.

She loves her baby cousin Brynlee and is always giving her her Nookies.

Reese is tough, she can run into something or get in a scuffle and come out just fine.  She tends to brush it off pretty easily.  

I think her independent attitude may give us a run for our money when it comes to disciplining her.  She will pinch Carter (witnessed by us) and then say "I no pinch Carter."  And little Missy doesn't seem to mind being put in time-out.  We may have to come up with an alternative.

Reese is still sleeping in her crib like a champ.  She sleeps well most of the time and if she does wake up she yells out "MOMMA!!" Funny thing is Momma doesn't ever hear her and Daddy usually comes to the rescue.  

She LOVES accessories:  headbands, her pig tails (always asking for "PIGGIES!"), bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses and fancy shoes.

Reese is a Beautiful, Feisty, Energetic, Loving and Independent girl.  We love her so much and cannot wait to watch her grow.  Please pray for me when she hits 12 (her and I may butt heads a bit)

I included the 2 year Chair Pic and her 2 year pics done by Kara, which turned out so cute!

A busy week :)

May is always a bit busy in the Remme house.  Josh's Birthday is on the 10th, My step-dad Jeff's birthday on the 9th.  Josh's Dad Dean on the 17th.  Mother's day somewhere in between usually.  So this week was a busy ... but of course fun one!

Friday Carter went to the elementary school and had kindergarten screening.
He passed with flying colors!!
His exact age group only needed 34 to pass and he got a 46!  Proud of my little buddy :)
One more year of preschool though, since he is a September Birthday.  His little sister on the other hand did great for about 20 minutes and then lost it.  She was climbing all over things and NOT listening towards the end (It was a good thing she wasn't getting tested :)  She just has a tad bit of a STRONG personality (I have NO idea where she gets that from)

Standing by "his" locker with all of the stickers he got!  Plus they each got to pick out a new book!

Daddy's Birthday was on Saturday.
Mommy FINALLY didn't have to work so it was a great day!
We started the morning with a Birthday Dance Party!


Josh and the kids with a Birthday Donut :)  Someday....maybe....I will learn how to bake and cook.


We headed out to Cokato for the afternoon to hang out with the Chap Family!

OH MY she is adorable.  I just love this little peanut.  She is such a good little gal.  Sitting up like a big girl now!   Reese is always helpful with Brynlee and brings her Nookies.

Reesey and Cohen with some yummy candy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

The little man and I

The Birthday boy and ALL of the kiddos!





Carter with Miss Sasha


We played outside for most of the afternoon.  That wind was a little chilly but the kiddos didn't mind!


For those of you who have been around the last couple months, know that I have been working extra/overtime to pay of our lovely taxes so I accidentally two months ago picked up a 12 hour shift on Mother's Day...oops.  It ended up being a great day at work (It is always fun to be there on Mother's day when new babes are born!)


This was my Mother's day gift from Carter Man.  So so so sweet.   Gosh I love that kiddo.
Carter and I on Mother's day after I got home from work!


What a busy but Fabulous Week!

Como Zoo Fieldtrip!



Carter's Preschool class went on a field trip to the Como Zoo!
Mommy got to go with the little man.
I think they were more excited about riding the school bus than the actual zoo :)

Carter's best buddy Kolten is in his class and goes to his daycare, so it was fun to hang out with Kolten and his Mom!  Those two are too cute!
