Introducing Gus

"Oooo"

Daisy's opinion of Gus, not good

Meet the newest member of our family, Gus! He is a 9 week old Yellow Lab and we think he's pretty cute. Daisy, of coarse HATES him. Zach's Dad had a friend ask him if he wanted a Lab puppy and since Gary already has two dogs he asked us if we wanted one. They had a lot of cute puppies but I think we got the cutest one! We kind of lucked out too because they had I think 4 or 5 puppies left the day we said we wanted Gus for sure then the next two days they started getting calls and all the puppies were spoken for. As for Kabree she was very excited to wake up to a new puppy this morning. She loved petting him. Gus on the other hand is a little scared of our Little Miss.

Kabree & Couponing

This is what happens when our Little Miss Kabree gets left alone while you go to the restroom and your coupon box isn't latched. Kabree LOVES books, magazines and newspapers, as you can see she gets very excited when she gets a hold of one. Lucky for me she grabbed out of the front, which was the outdated ones I was needing to toss.

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny Came!

Kabree see's the eggs he left

She found one

"There's treats inside, ooo"

Heather made Kabree this cool blown egg,

the picture doesn't do it justice of how cool it looks

This was Kabree's first Easter, and it was so much fun! She was very excited when she saw eggs hidden around the room. She crawled as fast as she could for them, grabbed one and started shaking it. She was very excited when Zach opened one up and showed her there was treats inside, she thought that was pretty fun.

Kabree loved the plastic eggs, Zach wanted her to get the purple one and kept telling her to come get it and she would just ignore him. So he decided to pick her up and put her right in front of it, she screamed and crawled toward the yellow one on the other side of the room. Zach decided to hand her the purple one, she looked up at him, glared, and threw the egg at him. Now she won't even touch the purple one and gets mad when Zach pushes it towards her. Can we say Little Miss Personality.

Sandra's Shower

The yummy food, that's what showers

are all about isn't it? : )

Megan's yummy desserts,

the cookies are my favorite

The quilt my Mom and Heather helped with

Yesterday we got to have a lunch for Sandra. She is so cute and we are so excited for her and Caleb. I just have to say that I love my family so much because not only did my Mom and Heather help me with the present but Heather came and help me set up for the shower. Then Jessica came to the shower and helped during it, I wish I would have got a pic of her cute little tummy, she is one of those cute pregnant people. I would fail miserable at most things if it wasn't for my amazing Mom, Sis, and sister in-laws, they help me so much.

Megan made such pretty desserts that it was almost sad to see them get eaten, her family is awesome at making pretty food (and it tastes as good as it looks). It was nice to have Zach's family over for lunch and for everyone to get to meet Sandra. Kabree loved having all the company and LOVED that her and the girl cousins got to play in her room the whole time. They were all grins so they had fun what ever they were doing : )!

Thanks Sandra for letting me do the lunch! Caleb is one of my favorite people so I'm so happy that he found Sandra, she's exactly what he deserves, a sweetheart. Congratulations you guys we are looking forward to the wedding!

Spring Break

Kooper

Hanna

Our group for the day

Justice slept most of the day : (

To start the week off, Larin and Heather's kids were both on Spring break so they did some kid swapping which meant that on Monday I got to watch Chase, Hanna, Justice and Kooper. I was so excited because I had gotten these cool little cotton swabs that you snap the top off and the dye flows to the other end making it so you have a marker type tool to color eggs with. I know it was really early for decorating Easter eggs but I thought it would be a fun craft plus the kids all like hard boiled eggs anyways. Hanna and I loved it! Chase did one and thought it was kind of dumb, Kooper did a couple but then realized Chase was going to play the playstation with out him so we lost his interest too. Oh, well Hanna and I had a lot of fun together!

Kabree with her friend Maddux

Big shocker, Kabree trying to escape : )

My roommate Melissa and I rarely get to see each other now that we are both crazy busy with are little kiddos, but we finally got to do lunch this week. It was so nice to get to see each other and catch up. Her little guy Maddux is easy going and mellow as can be, Kabree, well lets just say her polar opposite personality of high energy and squealing at the top her lungs probably traumatized him for life. He never cried he would just look at her with those big, pretty, blue eyes of his and open them even bigger.

This last weekend we got to go up and see Whitney off to prom. Kabree and I got to go watch her get her hair done. Which we lucked out because Kabree slept the whole way up so she was the happiest little girl ever! Then we got to help her get her beautiful dress on, which for anyone who has ever worn a lace up dress knows what it means to help : )! She looked so pretty and it was fun to get to meet Kasey. Zach helped Troy and Cayleb work on Caylebs truck. As always Wendy made us a very yummy dinner. We love spending time with Troy, Wendy and the kids, thanks for having us and for the cute onesie for Kabs.

Busy Week

Whitney and Cayleb were on Spring Break this week so they came down to spend time with family. We were really lucky and got Whitney the whole week. Kabree was in heaven, she loves her cousin Whitney. She follows her every where, loves to play with her phone, snuggle, follow her everywhere, pretty much be attached to her hip. I tried to show Whit how Kabree gives kisses and when I said "Kabree kiss kiss", she turned her head from me, leaned to Whit and gave her a kiss.

It was so nice to have Whitney to keep me company this week and we stayed busy the whole time. We watched Heathers kids Wednesday and Kabree's sister that night. We woke up early Thursday and went to Brigham to see Gina. We got lost, which is embarrassing because it's really easy to get there now that I realized where I turned wrong. We only got to stay a few hours but it was nice getting to visit with her and Shawn for the day. Then we headed to Arbon to meet up with Zach and Cayleb. We got there in time to have dinner with Dad and Mom and to sit in Shawn's hot tub, thanks Mom and Dad for watching Kabree.

The boys headed out early Friday for hunting but got back in time for us to have lunch with Heather. That night we headed to chrome in the dome.

The new D.A.R.E. care

Heathers kids were very excited about it

Heather and Whitney enjoying the cake

We didn't get many pictures of this week but we had so much fun having Whitney here. Thanks Whit for all the help and for keeping me company for all the driving.

11 Months

Her cheesy smile

Doesn't she look innocent?

I can't believe our little baby isn't our little baby anymore. Kabree is our little, busy, mischievous, happy girl. We had about three weeks of sickness this last month, colds, ear infections and the flu but even when she didn't feel good she would still look up at me and smile. Kabree is still very BUSY, which you just have to see her in action to truly appreciate. We now have two little bottom teeth but still none on the top. She has started refusing to eat baby food and only wants to eat exactly what I'm eating. She loves to dance, when ever she hears music (especially the theme song to Friends) she starts bouncing up and down and when she gets really excited she stands up and jams out with her whole body.

When ever she gets into things she isn't supposed to she looks right at you, grins from ear to ear and does it again. She loves remotes and cell phones but is smart enough to know if they are ones that actually work and gets very upset when she realizes you tried to pull a fast one on her by giving her an old one. She loves her kitty and will crawl after her a hundred miles an hour even though Daisy is hissing and growling at her. She has already figured out that she doesn't have claws and she smiles when ever the cat swats at her and swats right back at Daisy until the cat runs away. She loves having people come over and gets very upset if they forget to wave good bye before they leave. Kabree loves her Daddy, she gets very excited when she hears him come in the door. She loves her Dad for play time but if she's hurt or tired she's a Mommas girl. I love that I get to have her when she's a cuddle bug. We love her so much and are so grateful for how much Kabree has brightened our lives. We love you Kabs!
