Random Times From Winter!

PICTURE OVERLOAD!
Plus, most of these are taken from my phone on random outings, so excuse the bad quality!
I sometimes catch myself saying that I take way too many pictures, but honestly, Remi is growing TOO fast
and these pictures are what I have to cherish for the rest of my life!
I love looking back and seeing how much she has grown.
What a little character she becomes once the camera turns on! 


Here is her cute snow hat. She loves wearing hats and has so many!

Dinner up at Grandma and Grandpa Coons!
Everette and Eli holding each other's babies!! Remi and Chloers!

She gets on her horse and starts bouncing ever so slightly when the music turns on. Oooo I love her!

This day was NO fun!
We had a few friends over to have pizza and play games.
During dinner, Eli fell off of his chair and hit is head on a crate. Bruised and cut up his
entire face. He passed out when he hiccuped supposedly. He fell to the ground,
eyes in the back of his head, and laid there shaking.
Josh was there luckily to help pick him up. Eli finally woke up and seemed to be OK.
I, on the other hand, was an absolute MESS!
I couldn't' stop the tears from coming. I insisted we take him to the Dr. everything
checked out to be fine...I am still nervous though! 

Sweet goggle "shades" that Remi picked up!

Not the best pictures, but here Remington was "eating" (more like playing) with refried beans!
She loved them! 

One of my most favorite things to do  is watch her when she is sleeping.
I go in to her room and just look at her and think to myself how lucky I am to be her mama.
Such a little angel when she's asleep ;)

Nakey baby on the loose!!
She crawled away as fast as she could so that she
could watch her daddy play games!
Cute little bum!

Just watching Sesame Street.
When ever I turn it on, She says "La da!!"
That means Elmo for those of you who are too cool
for this show ;)
"La la la la, Elmos' world!"



Cute little pig tails, hanging out with Olivia! 


This man right her is my VERY best friend.
When I am having my hardest days, he knows just what to
 say to help me feel so special and loved
Love you E! 

I didn't get a post up about Valentines Day, but here is one of the pictures
from that awesome night! We started off by going to Big Judd's!
DELISH!
Then we drove up the Hesie Hot Springs and soaked in the hot pools.
I seriously felt like a little kid again, dunking each other under, racing and doing flips!
Such a great night with my sweetie!

We went to the visitor's center awhile back for FHE. We saw the video "God's Plan for his Families."
That was the second time I saw it, and it still brought tears to my eyes.
I am so happy to have started our little family.

Such a beautiful girl.
I am serious when I say that Remi is going to be a heart breaker.
Boys will be chasing her, I know it! She's just so gorgeous! 

Remi went through a little stage where she REFUSED to let me feed her.
So, I handed the spoon over and let her dive in.
She actually managed to get most of it into her mouth even though it doesn't seem like it here! 

Little mooch! Eli walked in to the room with a plate of lasagna and Rem was crawling
around after him saying "mmm! mmm!" What can I say...my lasagna ROCKS! :)

What a great day!
Got to see Carly give her talk before she left on her mission! I just love
this girl so much and couldn't have asked for a better friend!
She's definitely strengthened my testimony and has made me want to do better!

Saying good bye to Aunt Car Car! 

Fun times in Wally World!! 

I hate that she looks so big in this picture!!!!
But love it at the same time. What a smart happy little girl we have.

Can't even stand her blue eyes.
Thanks for being my buddy and hanging out with me everyday Rem!
I love you!

<3

Watching Dani at her cheer comp. and Remi passed out on Aunt Katie's lap. :)

Going for a walk! All bundled up!!

Uh oh!! Daddy left his oreo milkshake out... and somebody found it!

This picture is one of my favorites. Remington absolutely LOVES
her aunt Liv. She gets very very excited when she sees Oliva. 

This would be my husband. Eli got a longboard recently, and uses it to exercise Barney.
He goes to the park and makes Barney pull him around a couple of times.
Barney ends up sleeping all day! 

Watching Aunt Dani's cheer competion! Remi loved the builds and pom poms! She
was so entertained! Great job Dan dan. You make the best little cheer leader! I am proud
at how much you have improved!


Well there you have it! A little catch up on our life this winter!
We are definitely getting spring fever so bring on the SUN!

10 Months Old!


I think that this past month went by faster than any others. 
I swear I was just on here with her 9 month picture.
This month Remi: 
Feeds barney from her high chair.
Points where she wants to go.
Loves graham crackers and bananas.
Says hi dada when phone is up to ear.
Lately she just holds her hand up as her phone and says it.

Started to cuddle head down on all blankets 
or our shoulders and say awww.
Can drink through straw most of the time.
Loves drinking water and juice from her sippy cup.
Can walk along the couch and also climb stairs very well.
She also climbs up on Eli's banana chair and sits on it.
She gives kisses (Smack her lips together really loud) 
Says numnum to any kind of food she sees.
Has one bottom tooth poking through! 
Absolutely LOVES dill pickles.
Still sleeps 11 hours every single night.
And she has 3 one hour naps like clockwork.

She is getting so big and her personality comes out more and more each day!
Love ya REMI!

Eli's Birthday!!

Eli turned 23 on January 24th! We had a fun day. French toast (his FAVE) in the morning and then we went shopping  Eli got some new pants, a watch, and a hat! 
Then we hit up the Great Wall for lunch. Our favorite restaurant together!
We headed home and just relaxed and enjoyed the day as a family. I thought it would be fun to deck out our house in batman birthday decorations. So I got most of them set up while Eli took a nap.
When he woke he helped me put up the streamers. He loved them!
I made Eli Strawberry shortcake, another favorite of his! We had our families come over to celebrate with us. He got some great gifts. Money, Dr. Pepper, a sweater, and a scrapbook of his mission from his sister Katie. His dad gave him an AWESOME gun and I got him Settlers of Catan. 
My parents watched Remington while we went to Les Mis. I had already seen it. Loved it the first and the second time of course. And Eli LOVED it so much. He was biting his nails the whole time. That's when I know he likes a movie. :) 
We had a great time and Eli had a great birthday!













New Years in Salt Lake City

On New Year's Eve, we left early in the morning and drove to Salt Lake. We were meeting my family down there because they were already down there visiting my dad! 
We got to the hotel and got settled in. We went to Wendy's and ate and then headed to the Gateway Mall. 
We had so much fun looking around at all of the stores. It wasn't even that cold!
 Later that afternoon, we went to Temple Square and went to the song along that they had going there.
IT was so much fun! Remington was sitting on my lap singing and dancing along as well. 
We walked around and looked at all of the lights. It was so beautiful and I got some great pictures!
We went and saw dad and had strawberry shortcake! We had a great time visiting and Remi took her first forward crawl in front of Grandpa Mallard!
We said our goodbyes and went back to the hotel. My sisters went swimming, and me and Eli and Remi stayed in the room and had some sparkling cider and watched the ball drop! Remi was wide awake. She didn't want to miss bringing in the new year!!
She had a really hard time falling asleep in her pack and play, so Eli had to wheel her up and down the hall in her stroller before she finally fell asleep!
We got up the next morning and headed home! We stopped in at the Layton mall. We had so much fun walking around looking though all the stores. We decided to eat in the food court there and I am not even kidding when I saw we had the BEST food EVER! It was a Japanese place. We got chicken/shrimp veggies and fried rice. They gave HUGE portions for only $6 each. I definitely want to go there again someday. Remington slept the entire way home. She woke up just as we pulled off of the freeway in Idaho Falls. 
We had a good time spotting deer and listening to music on the way home. LOVE trips with my little family.
And I am very excited for the new year. 
My resolutions this year are very simple.
I want each and every day to be more productive, in all areas of my life!
Happy New Year Everyone!!
