October

I had to open my pictures to remember what happened in Oct. That means nothing exciting!

Laura, Reese and I went back to the Zoo. Laura wanted to see the baby elephant. And I love the Zoo. Even the crappy ones make me happy!

Cody and I got to see the B-52's. They came to Xango's convention. It was a lot of fun. But not something I would actually pay money for. Thank you Xango. But only for that. You don't do much else for me.

We carved pumpkins.

We had Halloween. Reese was a little Fairy.

We went for a walk.

And last but not least, Reese turned ONE!!

I know I am a horrible mother for not giving her a super special birthday blog, but I made her a cake. That is good enough. All her birthday pictures are on Cody's computer so this picture is a preview of what we did in Nov. Happy Birthday last Oct my little love muffin!

September

We didn't do anything to exciting in September except go to the zoo. Mostly we slept, ate, and
played. Most of our Zoo pictures were on Cody's camera.

August

In August we went to the Utah County Fair. I have never been before and it is a fun free activity. Free being the key word. It was a lot of fun, minus the rain storm that chased us away!

Reese really liked looking at all the animals.
Until she got bit by a chicken.

Yes Cody is laughing. It was really funny. Really it was.

FINALLY

It's been a while. I know. Here is all the fun stuff we have been up to. I am going to break it up into months. It is easier that way.

10 months

Cody took Reese's 10 month pictures on Sunday. I can't believe how big she is getting! Here are some of my favorites!

New Tricks

We have this toy bin between the couches so she can't get down the hall.
She has figured out how to crawl over it.
Looks like it is time to invest in some baby gates!

She just wants those movies so bad!

Reese

Cody was nice the other morning and got Reese up for me so I could sleep in little. I couldn't sleep in too long because he had to go to work, but it is the thought! I only stayed in bed for a few minutes and when I got up this is what I found.
She always likes to crawl under the table, but this was the first time she made it under a chair. If she hadn't been enjoying it so much I would make it be her time out spot. And it was a little funny when she couldn't figure how to get out of it!

Living Planet Aquarium

Cody took a few days off work last week, so we went to the living planet aquarium. It was pretty awesome! The price was right and is was cool inside. There was a big group of kids that went in right before we did, but they were cute and excited, not loud and in the way as much as I thought they would be. I loved petting the Sting Rays, and Reese loved watching all the fish. Cody now wants a Jelly Fish tank in our house. Which could be pretty awesome!

Llama Fest

We went down to Llama Fest at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. It was bloody hot!! But still fun. I have never been and I am glad we went. It wasn't expensive, and they had Llama races, and obstacle courses. There was food and a few booths set up. They were playing beautiful music and was nice to sit and watch and listen for a minute. Reese seemed to like the Llamas, even though they did not like her very much!

The Temple is absolutely beautiful! I am so glad I finally made it over to see it.

Little cutie

I just love these pictures of Reese. I think she is pretty stinkin cute!

American Fork Baby Contest

We entered Reese in the American Fork Baby Contest. She didn't win. We were a little sad, but mostly happy to not have to walk in the parade! All the babies that did win were pretty adorable. I would have picked Reese, but they didn't ask me.

Rock Band II

Sorry I am sucking at updating my blog! I am making a goal to do one a week so that I don't have to do 15 in one day anymore! At the beginning of the month was Cody's company summer party. Xango rented out Seven Peaks for the night. It was a lot of fun. The best summer party I have been to! They had a rock band competition again, and the Adeqwets entered to defend their title. Alas they did not. It wasn't as important this time around because Jack Johnson was not involved, nor happiness of my marriage. They did their best, but only got third place. It would have been nice to have a couple hundred dollars in our pockets, but again we could care less. The game wasn't working right and was off a bit. But Cody found out they only lost by a couple hundred thousand points. Which, you who play rock band know isn't really alot. They had some pretty good costumes this year. Not as awesome as last year, but really no one cared the band, the audience. It was all over done. Once was good. Twice lame. Enjoy Cody and his short shorts!
Reese wanted to try on her daddy's wig.

Reading

Reese loves books! Her Auntie April bought her this book that has pictures of anything and everything and it says what the picture is in English and Hawaiian. She loves it!

July 4th

I know I am a little late, but I was busy cleaning my whole house yesterday. Yes thats right, my WHOLE house. Vacuumed the WHOLE house. Cleaned BOTH bathrooms. Did ALL the laundry and even folded it and put it away. Cleaned the kitchen, DUSTED the WHOLE house (which is huge cause I hate dusting), and went to Reese's drs appt. It was a busy day and now I don't have to worry about for a few days! But HAPPY FOURTH of JULY only 3 days late! We didn't do too much. We went swimming at the AF rec center which sucked a lot. (It didn't really but if too many people know it is awesome then it will be to crowded the next time I go. Best little kid pool area I have ever been to!) Reese goes to bed at 8 so we didn't watch any fireworks, but we heard Stadium of Fire's and my neighborhood did a bunch.
Reese is not officially 9 months yet, but her Dr is going out of town so we had to go a little early. She weighs a whopping 14 lbs 7 oz and is 26 inches long. He said she will just be tall and skinny. Which is fine because then she can be a model and buy her mama a big house and a flashy car!! She didn't have to get shots, but they did have to prick her finger to check if she is anemic and some other things. Perfectly normal he said. She started clapping a few weeks ago, and every now and then it sounds like she says mamama. My little tiny is getting so big! She walks around as long as you are holding her hands and she even stands by herself for almost 5 seconds. I know not that big of a deal, but she makes me proud! We love you little Greasy Reesey!!

More Swimming

We bought a little pool for Reese to swim in. It has been great! The water was still a little cold though. We had to use hot water from the sink so that we could even stand putting our feet in. I know, we are whiners!!

Koda and Misha love her so much!!
