"But I'm not done yet"

We had a Kabree's birthday party Saturday out in Arbon with our families. We had so much fun and let me tell you Kabree is one very lucky little girl to have such a great family that loves her. I got pretty stressed right before the party because I never anticipated how long it would take to make 70 little bug cupcakes, it's a very good thing Wendy, Heather and my Mom were there to help me, thanks guys. But the kids seem to think they were fun so it was worth it. I made everyone little head bands that had but antennas on them, which left me with three blisters during the process of making them. The kids acted like they really liked them so it made it completely worth it. Little Miss Kabree wore her's for about 1 min tops and that was the end of that, she didn't like it one bit, surprise, surprise :). Kabree loves all of her family and was bouncing back and forth between everyone, it was pretty cute. It was like she was going around saying hi to everyone who came to wish her a Happy Birthday.

She got very shy again when everyone started singing Happy Birthday. Of coarse she loved her cupcake. At first she would just touch her finger to the frosting but then after we helped her a little she dove right in. Poor Justice was getting very jealous so with Heather's permission we let him join in the action. He was in hog heaven going to town on his cupcake. They would try to take a taste of the other ones cupcake and then would get very upset with each other. They also kept whipping their hands on the other one. It was so dang cute and tons of fun! Thanks to everyone who came to join us we loved having all of you!

We love our little Kabree so much and feel so lucky to have her as our little girl!

Ok, I know I'm her Mommy but I just have to say Kabree is just so stinking cute I could take over a thousand pictures a month of her. Spencer and Keri couldn't make our family Birthday party so we decided to meet up at Pizza Hutt for a little party. Heather was so sweet and brought the cake and balloons, which Kabree keeps "oooing" over today. It was so much fun, Hanna and Paedyn were instant friends and were both very excited to help Kabree open her presents. Kabree could take or leave the opening part, she was excited over the toys though! I have been looking forward to her eating cake for so long and she defiantly didn't disappoint. She was so cute, she would pick up the whole piece put it to her mouth, take a bite and set the cake back on the plate while she chewed. The frosting was white so it didn't show up very good but take my word for it her little cheeks were covered. When we started singing Happy Birthday, Kabree got all shy and tucked into Zach and didn't really want to blow out the candles so Hanna and Paedyn had to help. However, when everyone started clapping when the candle went out then she liked it and started clapping too.

Kabree only took at 20 minute nap yesterday so by the end she was a very tired little girl and very ready for a bath and bed. But she slept through the WHOLE NIGHT!!!! Honestly I swear the heavens should open and angels should start singing. It couldn't have happened a better night, let's just say between Kabree's messed up schedule and the puppy, sleep has been sparse this week.

Today we get to go get her 1 year pics and then the family party on Saturday, she is one spoiled little girl this week :)! I wonder how she turned into Little Miss Personality ;)!

12 Months

One of her favorite things...cell phones!

Wow I can't believe our little baby isn't a baby anymore. Kabree is so much fun and keeps us on our toes everyday. She is walking; hurray she started a week before she turned 1! I think it's pretty darn cute to watch her waddle around. She walks sideways or in a bit of a circle, it's hilarious she can't walk straight yet.

As you can see from the pictures, I won't post the pic with her bunny this time because she screamed when I laid her down to take it. Being held still or laying down is pure torture for her. Her nick name of Little Miss Personality fits her to a "T" and who every spends an hour or two with her would agree. We have loved every minute of the last year and can't imagine or lives with out our little spit fire. We love her so much and can't wait to have her birthday party, I'm very excited to let her eat cake and make a big old mess : )!!!

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.
