Family Pictures!!

We got some family pictures taken last night. Thank you so much Hannah and Emma! They turned out great and we love them!! 

Busy August!

Joel's family came to visit us in the middle of August as soon as he was done his last exam. It was so much fun having them here and we're so glad they came to see us! 

After having them at our house, we flew back to Alberta with them. It was a quick trip and very busy but it was so nice to spend time with our families. 

Remy could not get enough of the bathtub (because we don't have a tub here on Statia)...

...or of Omar...

...and she had so much fun playing with Bryn.

We went up to the cabin ("Up in the Hills"). She loved the creek even though it was freezing (at least compared to the Caribbean ocean she's used to :)).

Isn't it beautiful? One of my favorite places in the whole world. :)

We went to the zoo!

Remy just loves being with Grandma and Grandpa!

We played on the farm. She loves animals and had so much fun!

She had so much fun with her Grandmas and Grandpas and still talks about them everyday. 

We went to Waterton with Joel's family. It was such a nice day!

Since we've been home 

Remy has a new love for her stuffed animals. She's always been really good at going to sleep but we now let her pick which animals she wants to sleep with. She always picks her 3 kitties and Cookie Monster. She gets so excited to go to bed because she gets to sleep with her friends. It is so cute!! 

Grandma Wolsey got Remy a Mr. Potato Head. She loves playing with it but she has to wear the blue glasses while she does it (she never puts the red ones on). She's such a funny girl. 

 Yum! Chocolate Chip Pancakes!!!

Having a picnic with the stuffed animals. 

Remy is growing up so fast. She now talks constantly and puts more and more words together every day. She has the cutest little voice.
She is now only in diapers for sleeping and it is so nice not changing diapers all the time.
She also LOVES her baby dolls. She puts them down for naps. She walks them. She puts them on the toilet to pee just like her. She feeds them. She gives them baths with wipes... I really need to get a video of her playing with her dolls.

A Year on Statia

Well, it has been a year! Can you believe how much she's changed?

July

Rem finally likes going to the park.

She loves to wear the pitcher on her head. She's such a strange girl. 

At the airport waiting for Aunt Kenzie. That's her plane in the background. 

 She loved her blueberry, spinach smoothie. She looks like a crazy person. 

The other night I could tell Remy was still hungry. She kept going to the fridge so I opened it up to see if she would tell me what she wanted. She picked a tomato and she ate the whole thing like an apple. 

The next couple picture are from Maddox's second birthday party. Lyndsey made a special Cookie Monster cupcake just for Remy. She loved it! Thanks Lynds for making it so Remy didn't have to miss out on all the fun. 

Katie and Courtney Erickson played with Remy almost the whole time. It was so nice to not have to worry about Remy for a little bit. Thanks girls! 

She makes the funniest faces!

"Cheese!"

We don't have the chance to get pictures of all three of us very often and we had Kenzie around to take some pictures so we went out to Zeelandia. Well, none of them really worked out. It was crazy windy and so much garbage and seaweed had washed up. But I'll share a few that didn't turn out too bad. 

Not impressed that we got chocolate chip cookies and she only got crackers. 

Kenzie took this picture. We went out to eat the night before Kenzie had to go home. 

We loved having you Kenz!
