Thanksgiving 2010

For our Thanksgiving this year it was quite nice and there was no rush. We went to my dads house for our Thanksgiving feast on Thanksgiving night.

We went to Riley's mom's house on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for her dinner -- it was so nice to not be rushed from house to house.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we got hit with a big snowstorm, so we went to my dads house and went sledding.

Here are some fun sledding pictures:

Remzley's 12 month Pictures

Here is my little handsome pants birthday pictures (professionally). My old friend from Jr. High did them. She is awesome!! Thanks Nichole!!

Remzley's 12 Month Stats

Remz's 12 month appointment was the day after his birthday, November 22nd 2010. The doctor said that he is doing well overall.

Here are his Stats:
Weight: 25.9 lbs - 87.91%
Height: 29.25 inches - 33.58%
Head: 18.4 inches - 62.04%
*His weight went from 25.07 at 9 months, to 24.8 at 10 months to 25.9 at 12 months. He has finally stopped GAINING so much weight.

-He is a steady crawler and goes EVERYWHERE. He has had 1 trip DOWN the stairs, (on accident and flipped 2 times on the way down) longest 10 seconds of my life watching.
-He loves ALL Food... i have not really found anything that he HATES, other then those 3rd Gerber foods, that have meat in them -- he throws them up EVERY TIME I feed him them.
-He is transitioned from Formula to milk - 100%
-He no longer has a bottle, sippy cup only
-He says a few select words, Momma, Dada, HI (this is his fav)
-If you tell him to dance, or shake his booty, he moves all around.
-No walking yet-- or any desire for that matter. He has been walking around furniture for about 1-2 months and will not let go, and go on his own.
-He will stand up on his own and stay there for a little bit.. about 5-10 seconds before he reaches straight for the ground.
-He can go up the stairs, but CAN NOT go back down, he does the head first move and scares you to death
-He pretty much eats normal human food now, no more baby foods (unless we eat something he cant eat)
-He has 6 teeth already
-He is a MONSTER when you change his but and flips all around and freaks out. He HATES it.
-He is scared of the water in the bath tub, if it gets any higher then his ears he FREAKS out.
-He hates his nightly rub down of lotion after he gets out of the bath, (but it is necessary from his baby eczema)
-He goes to bed about 7:30-9:00 PM and sleeps until about 7:00-7:30 AM every day. (except on weekdays, i have to wake him up for daycare about 6:30)
-He is SO happy -- You would never guess that he was such a fussy baby.
-He is a HITTER -- he hits everything and everyone. We try to hit his hand back so he gets the point that he can not hit, however he thinks that it is funny and a game. So we try to firmly tell him NO and he still just looks at us like we are crazy, and usually hits us again. I have no idea how to break him out of this -- it is hard. If you do something he doesn't like (like put him down from holding him) he will crawl after you and HIT your leg and give you a crusty look.
-He screams about everything. You will just hear him all of a sudden squeal/scream for no reason and sometimes continues on his scream for 5-10 minutes.
-He knows his sisters name, when we say it he just searches all around the room for her.
-He loves to throw and play with balls.
-He still loves to be outside. Any opportunity he gets to get out of the house, he runs for the door.

Happy 1st Birthday Remz!!

This year for Remzley's birthday we had 1 big party with both Riley and my families. Because there are SO many of us (my family) we rented the Lehi Riding Club so we would not be squished in our house. We had sloppy Joes, Salads, Cake, and Ice Cream.
I can not believe that my baby is 1 already!! Where does time go?
Here are a few pics of the b-day party.

Remzley waiting for the birthday guests to arrive, eating a BIG smartie sucker that dad bought for him.


Opening his presents from everyone.


His cute new hat that mom and dad got for him.. how cute is that?


Here is the REAL 1st birthday cake:



Remz's own 1st birthday cake. He wanted NOTHING to do with the cake. He just sat there for a good 10-15 minutes and then everyone started helping him stick his hands in there. Once we gave him a spoon, he dug right on in... Such a fella with manners! haha


Finally ate his cake and loving it!!




He was SO filthy that my wonderful mother-in-law Jackie bathed him in the sink.


He had such a wonderful time and got a MILLION toys and clothes. Thanks to everyone that came!!

My Birthday

This year for my birthday, Riley spoiled me and took me to Park City. We went shopping all day long at the outlet mall up there and then we came down to Sandy and ate at Ruby River (one of my fav's) and then we went to the Southtowne mall for some more shopping. We topped it off with a movie at the house and a night alone with NO kids.

It was a great birthday and we spent an undesirable amount of money, but we got quite a bit of stuff for the Kids for Christmas!!

I love my life and the people in it!! Here's to another great 25 years!!

Kaedynn's Kindergarten School Picture

Here is Kaedynn's school picture for Kindergarten! They turned out alot better then I thought that they would. She is very stubborn and likes to pick her "own" things. We argued for about 30 minutes before I finally gave in and told her to wear whatever she wanted :) She wore a vest that did not match on top of this shirt.. but luckily removed it before the pictures. Gotta Love girl drama!!

Halloween

Halloween 2010

We had so much fun this Halloween. We typically do not get into it much, because truth be told... we just are not really fans of Halloween. However we had quite the year this year with all of our festivities.. and it made it so much funner.


Here is my monkey. I really thought he would rip this hat off of his head.. but he left it on there and never bothered it.


Here is my beautiful little girly. She designed her own costume at Walmart.. lol we went easy this year. She wanted to be her "own" thing, which eneded up being a fairy/butterfly.


We went to our first ever Halloween party this year, and went as "Caveman and Cave Woman". I think they turned out so cute. I loved them. Pretty good for shopping off of the internet 1 week prior :)


Here is Kaedynn at her school parade. Riley took the day off and went with us.. It was alot of fun. We missed her the 1st round through.. and then they came through a 2nd time luckily.. and we snatched this 1 picture was all. It was alot of fun to go watch all of the cool costumes that people come up with.


After the school parade, and daycare party we went to my work to trick or treat. My work does this every year and every departments gets so much money to decorate their area and then they do awards/prizes for the best decorated. One of the departments had this cool Bear out there dressed up.. so we got a picture with him. Here is Mati, Crew, and Kaedynn with him. (This bear gave out free homemade donuts and homemade root beer. How cool is that!


Luckily the rain stopped about 7:15-7:30 PM so we took the kids out to trick-or-treat. They loved it and had so much fun. Kaedynn scored alot of cool treats including a full sized candy bar.. (who gives those out anymore.. seriously).

Hope everyone had a good Halloween!! We sure did.

Pumpkin Carving

We went to my dad's house to carve pumpkins and have dinner with the family. So much fun!

Here is the family, hard at work.


Grandpa Eddie and Janice with the babies. Such good babysitters.


Kassi and Kaedynn crafting up their pumpkin.


Tosh, Kevin, and Kota carving their pumpkins.


Slaymaker fam's hard at work.


Our final product. Remz and Kaedynn's pumpkins for 2010.

Sugar Cookies for Halloween

We decided to make Halloween Sugar Cookies this year.. and it was alot easier then i remember it being before (i found a new better recipe). I guess that might mean I will make them more often.

Here is Kota and Kaedynn's Cookie making.

Cornbelly's

We went out to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point this year for our annual Fox family Halloween get together. (we used to go to hee-haws, however last year it sucked, so we changed it up).

It was so much fun and the kids LOVED it. We will defiantly be going back next year.

Here is Kaedynn on the horse they had in "princess land"




Here is my prince and princess. How cute is this picture. Seriously I love it.


Riley and Remzley on our horse wagon ride. (Sun was a little bright)


Riley and Kaedynn watching the pig races. Don't they both look SO EXCITED!


Kaedynn racing the trikes with her cousins.


Kaedynn and Sydnee jumping on the giant pillows.


Although it was kind of spendy to get in the door-- it was alot of fun and memories were made. That is what counts. I love my family!

Random Pics of the kids

These are just fun pictures of Remz that were on the camera card. He is such a goof ball... i just love his personality.

This is at Cal Ranch -- i guess i will note to myself to not let my husband take my son to the cowboy store again. HAHA (just kidding) he sure got some cute pictures.




This is Remz hiding from me. Our daycare was closed for a week back in September, so i left them home with me for the week. After a few minutes of him not hitting me or crying or laughing or buggin me, i wondered where he went.. after a few minutes of searching, here is where i found him, behind the recliner.


My sweet angel kids riding in the Barbie jeep, Lovin' the weather. Remzley loves it, but Kaedynn often kicks him out so she can give her neighborhood friends rides.


Kaedynn and Remz in the Ranger after our ride in Strawberry over Labor Day weekend. They are cute even dirty!



This is how Remz started crawling.. with his butt in the air and his legs straight. He has grown out of this, but he litterally walked/crawled like this for 2 months. gotta love those chubba-chunka legs.


Remz eating ravoli-o's and vanilla wafers. I think he liked them.. What about you?
