Well yesterday was Reef's first birthday. Wow!!! I can't believe that it has been a whole year since he was born. Time flies by so fast that it is kind of sad. He is walking all over the place, but yet we still have not one single tooth yet. Amazing though it hasn't slowed done his eating at all. He is starting to show his personality off very well. He looks just like Chase but acts just like Kori. (I think that could be some big trouble in the near future). He says mama, dada, go-go, thank-you, gone-gone, and dog, and of course the famous no word.. He loves the water and gets very upset when its time to get out of the bath. He loves playing with Chase and Kori (when they let him) and I think that he enjoys seeing Kori get in trouble. He hates wearing shoes, which it doesn't seem to bother him to be barefoot. He has a bit of a temper, which is already getting him into trouble at the tender age of one. We have already had a few of our many spankings I am sure of it. He loves to be outside and playing with the animals and anything that he can find to put in his mouth is a great treasure. His sleeping habits are not all that great yet but I think that has alot to do with him being so sick all the time and plus me babying him b/c he is probably our last one. So we are still working on the sleep thing. So Happy Birthday to Reef!!
We just got back from our to the River for our family reunion. Clint did not get to go b/c of work so it was me and the 3 kids in a tent for a week. The weather was nice, the river was low, and the company was great. There was about 75 there, give or take a few. We had a ladder ball tournament in which me and Emily , my cousin took 3rd in. A washer tournament, just for the guys, a movie night for the kids a couple of times, we had a fish fry one night, and dessert night with homemade ice cream a couple nights while we were there. There was swimming, floating the river, and volleyball every day and night. It was a great time that was had by all. There were no serious injuries this time- thank goodness. I did my part as mother of the year and took my kids fishing almost everyday at the pond with the help of Travis and Jamie and a few others. Chase and Kori were most proud of the fish that they caught and the ones that they stole from other people and claimed as their own. They painted rocks and themselves, played in the sand pit, dug for dinosaur bones, caught lots of bugs, fish, craw daddies, and even a snake that was eating a catfish, went on adventures, stayed up late, and all around had a blast with friends and family. They were sad to see it end although I was a little happy to head back home and completely exhausted. They are already talking about next year and what they will do again and who they will see, and eat, play with, swim with, and all that good stuff. Great memories that will last a lifetime, and enjoy watching my kids doing the same things that I used to do when I would go there when I was little. Very neat to watch that. And with that ends another year of the Frio- until next time.
