On Mother's day we got to spend the day with my Mom's family. My Mom's family is a family of GREAT cooks so our dinner was very yummy. The weather was perfect and we got to spend the whole afternoon outside. My aunt Lori brought frisbees, bubbles, kites and beach balls for the kids, they were a hit. Heathers little girl Hanna made best friends with our cousin Jamie's little girl Hayden. They were very cute to watch run around the farm. The weather was the perfect for flying kits, the kids had a blast. Matt spent hours helping the kids fly kites (I think he was having just as much fun as the kids ;). Zach enjoyed the kite fun as well, he wasn't the least bit embarrassed that he had the Disney princess kite. The adults also played some horse shoes but I didn't get any good pictures of them. It was so good to see everybody and we missed those who couldn't be there.

This last week Zach and I got to run over to Malad to go out to lunch with my Grandpa and Grandma Harrison. Kabree was very up to the task of performing for the whole Dude Ranch. She would squeal and wave to all the other costumers. When the waitress handed her, her ice cream cone I quickly intercepted and gave her a hand. She sobbed quit dramatically and made the whole place feel sorry for her. But once she realized they were all looking again she went back to waving and playing peek-a-boo. I think she wore my grandparents out. Grandpa just watched her in amazement as she danced, and bounced around from person to person.

Little Miss Kabree








Singing for Adrianne



Little Miss Kabree realized
she could dance right off the chair









My friend Adrianne did Kabree's 1year pictures and they turned out perfect. Out of 234 I loved 234 so only posting this many was very hard for me. In case you haven't noticed Adrianne is Kabree's own personal photographer and I pretty much make her photograph every event in her little life :)! I love pictures, hum I wonder who I got that from ;), any one who knows my family knows my Mom is a photo crazy lady just like me. I was so worried about any turning out because holy cow Kabree was a hand full and the more Adrianne laughed the more she performed. Kabree danced her little heart out most of the time, the problem with that is Kabree's dancing is wild and all over the place, she danced her little self right of the chair a couple times. Ad did such a good job I don't think you can even tell she was a wild little monkey during it but the ones you can tell just show her little personality. Thanks Ad as always I love them!

National Infertility Awareness Week

This might seem like an odd thing for me to be posting but for anyone who has ever had to endure the uphill battle of infertility its not odd at all it's our life. If you or anyone you know is struggling with infertility I just want to say I know how it feels and the constant range of emotions that go with it.

The R House blog has and will be posting great information and stories this week so please check it out or share with a friend that might need the comfort. I love the Monday post, I think all friends and family of people struggling with infertility should read it. As if infertility isn't trial enough the things people say can make it even worse.

I'm very aware of infertility this next month as I have lucked out and that's the portion of classes I get to teach coming up in May. Wish me luck, I will say that sharing our adoption story was by far easier then this assignment : ).

Caleb and Sandra's Wedding

Our little family at the temple

Sandra with her sisters, I thought this
was so stinking cute
The Temple

Caleb and Sandra got married in the Logan, UT LDS Temple last Friday. We are so happy for these two. Even though it was raining and we needed umbrellas it was still a beautiful day. I had to laugh because we are double related to these two so it made it kind of fun. Caleb is Zach's brother and Sandra's sister Jessica married my brother. It was fun to get to see all of Sandra and Jessica's family. They are so much fun and holy cow quick cleaner uppers. I remembered at Larin and Jessica's wedding them all chipping in and helping clean up and they defiantly did again. For those who know me know that that is one of my favorite qualities in a person :)!
Another pic of us at reception #2
my pics aren't in the right order : )

Reception #1
We love these two so much!



This is how Kabree felt by the end of the day

By the time we got to the reception Little Miss Kabree was a bear, as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures. In her defense it was a long day for all the little kids. Sandra has lots of little kids on her side of the family so Kabree did love running around chasing them.

Reception #2
I love, love, loved these center pieces and
Sandra's Mom gave me one to take home : )

Sandra's sis in-law did the picture


The little girls loved watching the wedding video


Kabree loved Caleb's drink so much she had
to hold on to his tie to make sure he didn't get away

Kabree with her uncle Caleb

Caleb and Zach

Sandra, she has such a pretty smile

After she tossed the bouquet she handed
out a tulip to all the little girls who didn't catch it,
I thought that was sweet.
I was so disappointed because I've been messing with my camera and I took a lot of cute pictures but they were either dark or blurry, I'm NOT a photographer by any means I think I need to give up and buy a simpler camera :(.

Anyways, like I said before we are so happy for these two and we love them both a TON. Plus I'll be honest I love her family (especially that Jessica;), they are all so sweet and so much fun. I told Zach I loved all of the events because her family is so friendly, well she does have one brother in-law that I'm not sure about, that Larin guy seems crazy ;).
