They yummy cheesecakes Wendy made

This was the last weekend before Wendy had to go back to school. So Heather, Mom and I decided to head up to Troy and Wendy's to make some watch bands. As always it was a little crazy but we had a lot of fun. Of coarse Wendy out did herself cooking for us, she made Italian subs and yummy mini cheesecakes. The Oreo ones were my favorite. Zach and Cayleb played the Wii downstairs all day. We could hear them yelling and screaming upstairs. Poor Troy came off a grave yard shift and was trying to sleep. Which for those who know my family know that with, Mom, Whit and I (we are the three loudest) that was probably next to impossible. The babies did pretty good, well Wendy and Whitney held them a lot, so I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it : ). Heather made like 5 watch bands by herself and Whitney and I together made 5, so ya she put us all to shame. Mom was the official tie the knot and glue the ends person, I'm pretty sure she loved that job : ), thanks Mom. We had a lot of fun and it was great to see Troy, Wendy and the kids. Thanks Wendy for having us!

9 Months

Kabree is our VERY BUSY little girl! She has been doing great and as always growing way to fast! She loves jabbering to anyway who will listen, crawling a hundred miles an hour, trying new foods, reading books and getting into EVERYTHING. She is a very active little girl that keeps us on our toes. She finally got her first tooth last week, for which we are very grateful and she loves feeling it with her lip. It's kind of funny to watch her rub her bottom lip over it. She is still walking around the furniture and standing a little on her own. She tries to take a step by herself but she loses her balance and falls over. Her favorite time of day is still bath time, when ever she hears the water turn on in the bathroom she cruises down the hall jabbering and laughing. My favorite times of day are when she first wakes up and just wants to snuggle and jabber to me for about 15-20 minutes and when I read to her. She starts squealing and laughing every time you turn the pages. We love her so much and couldn't imagine our lives with out her.

Skylar & Megan's Wedding

Kabree in her pretty little dress

The picture does not even do it justice

Can I just say how happy I am for these two! I love Zach's brother Skylar so much, he is such a great brother in-law and is such a sweetheart. Megan is just as amazing and you can tell how much they love each other. Sky and Megan got married on Saturday in the Salt Lake temple. It was a little scary driving for some but everyone made it and it was a great day! Kabree did pretty good considering all the driving and the really long day for a baby. Her dress was super cute, but made it a little hard to crawl, so to Kabree it was torture.

Megan's Mom and sister made the wedding cake and all the refreshments for the wedding. I just have to say WOW! They tasted as good as the looked. If I hadn't have known you would have thought it was catered

Everything was so pretty and turned out so good. I can't wait to see all the pictures from it (Zach's cousins wife Mandy did the pictures). We are so happy for Skylar and Megan and wish them all the happiness in the world!

Happy New Year!

Can you tell Zach and I are not night owls?

Everyone playing games

Mattie and Kooper watching a movie

Grandpa and Kab's down for the count

My Mom showing her amazing skills

We went to Darrel and Laurie's New Years party this year and as always there was lots of good food and a ton of fun. Eric's girlfriend Kayla made these super yummy dipped pretzels, which I could have eaten the whole plate of. Zach and I decided to risk it and play games together and of coarse got a little competitive. I guess Zach and Albert couldn't handle Tiff and I kicking butt : )! Kabree fell asleep, even with all the craziness, but my Dad held her the whole time so that probably helped. However, about 5 minutes to midnight her little eyes popped open and she realized she was missing out on a party so that was of coarse it for sleep. My cousin James gave her a glow stick as we were leaving and holy cow, she LOVED it. She was so fascinated by it, she would raise it up and stare at it. Finally at 2:30 I took it away from her and she cried her self to sleep, it did come in handy again on the way to Salt Lake the next day.

For Skylar's wedding Kabree got a very cute little dress but needed a sweater, which I couldn't find so I was asking my Mom what she thought I should do and she goes in her work room, comes out with some yarn and asks if it matches, which it did perfectly, so she decided to make up a pattern and see what came out. While we were all eating and playing games at the party my Mom was at the table working away the whole night. She was up until 4 a.m. and wouldn't luck have it, when we put it on Kabree the next morning it was too big! Mom decided she was going to work like a mad woman and try to redo it. Of coarse my Mom is amazing and finished the second one in 2 hours and it worked perfectly! Thanks Mom!!

I just have to say I always love January because it feels like you get a new start on things and a new chance to work on goals. 2009 was a very good year for Zach and I and one we will never forget. Having Kabree has blessed our lives so much and made us happier then we could have ever imagined. We are looking forward to 2010; all the family events and things we hope it will bring!

-Hopefully a little brother or sister for Kabreee

-Maybe some more nieces and nephews : ) hint, hint
