I can't believe my Remi is 11 years old today!
Remi is the boy who made me a mom! He was born bright-eyed and bushy tailed, with a head full of hair and the most beautiful olive skin I've ever seen! As a baby, Remi was always loud about his opinions and that has never changed!
Remi loves being outdoors wake boarding, golfing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, playing basketball, exploring and bike riding!
At 11, Remi is 58 inches tall and weighs 79 pounds!
Remi has become quite particular about his hair and the way he looks for school- there is no specific girl in the picture, but they are definitely on his radar!
Remi is ultra protective of his little brother. Besides himself, Remi tolerates no one picking on his brother! There have been a many of fights with Remi coming to Roen's rescue when he thinks someone is being too rough in a game of backyard football. Remi and Roen are the very best of friends and rarely go anywhere without each other!
Remi loves anything about space. He watches shows, movies, documentaries...he is very intrigued with space! At age 11, it is Remi's dream to one day be one of the NASA astronauts that visit the space station in 6 month intervals. He has done lots of research on the space suits, the ISS and the ins and outs of actually living on the space station. He dreams big and I love that about him!
Remi is the very happiest when he is out on his kayak or in his workshop building. He tends to relish time alone, fishing or working with his hands. He has always been my child who can be as happy being alone as he is surrounded by his buddies. His hands continue to create and invent. The older he gets, the more complicated and intricate his creations become. In the last few days, he has wired and built his very own drill press complete with a sanding station. He is fascinated with electricity and finds the most amazing ways to create little machines that work!
Remi is strong-willed down to the very core. He doesn't like being told no and tends to march to the beat of his own drum! There is no rushing him and he is about as stubborn as they come! However, he is a fantastic decision maker, an incredible problem solver and a critical thinker. He is a dreamer, a doer and likes constant stimulation.
Remi is extremely deep and passionate. He doesn't ever feel half-heartedly. When he is mad, he is like a raging lion, when he is happy, he bursts with it, when he is hurt, tears fall and his heart breaks. He tends to be a bit on the emotional side and is extremely loyal. If you are one of his people, well your in luck, he will give you the shirt off his back, he will pray for you, he will love you. The world Remi lives in is pretty black and white and he tends to have high expectations of others- it is very irritating to him if Micah and I give him our word and then forget to follow through!
This boy keeps us on our toes always! He is our natural-born leader who lives to figure things out! Life with Remi is one adventure after another and though it's not always easy, it is always worth it!

Sweet Remi! I always look forward to the boy’s birthday posts. It is amazing to read about their likes and dislikes, but most of all it’s the way you describe their personality. I can’t believe how much Remi has grown...he’s about to catch me 😬. In height that is...I’ll go to my grave outweighing him 😂😂. Seriously, he is a treasure and loved fiercely by many. He’s your mini me. Keep growing old Remi! Keep reaching for the stars!!! Love y’all! 😘
