November 2008

November started with grandma Udden's Birthday. We had a great time with friends and family at our house. Reese and Kipp were both very excited about all of the desserts! For Thanksgiving, we were blessed to have my aunt Ellen and uncle Ron, cousin Stacey, and the Simpson family come to visit, as well as the Henry family. The house was non-stop chaos, but we all oved it! Crosby got to play with Chesney (the Simpsons dog) Kevin got to hunt with John, and Reese couldn't get enough of EVERYONE, espacially Jacob! She was his shadow for their entire visit. She still asks every day where they all are, naming off each one of them. We also add grandma and grandpa, Hashley (Ashley), Pip (Kipp) and Cody to the roll call. occasionaly Chesney makes the cut too! This is all usually done at bed time, and i have to tell her that everyone of them is already at home in their bed!

Reese is in love with her koozy. It's leopard print with brown fur at the top! She asks for it all of the time, and insisted that Jacob have one too! She is quite the talker-actually, she never stops talking! Her favorite things right now are: Babies-all types, real ones, dolls, ones on TV commercials..random ones she hears crying when we're out running errands. Her world stops for any baby. We now have 6 at our house (thank you cousin Michelle) one in the car, and 2 at grandmas. She also loves her cartoons, namely Dora, Diego, Handy Manny (anyone notice a theme here?) and "Pets" as in The Wonder Pets. She loves the songs in them, and dances along. She talks to Dora and Diego as well. Another favorite thing is having me blow-dry her hair after her baths. One night she grabbed my hand, led me to my bathroom, put my hair brush to her head and pointed at the hair drier. It was all down hill from there! Kevin laughed and informed me that would just be something I did with her. But oh, he is weak! The first night I wasn't here for bath time, I came home to find all of my hair stuff out! He might not have done it the same, but he's a good dad and he took care of her!

I just put this one in for fun! Such a little Lady! Yes, she is topless. I knew the spaghetti was going to be everywhere, so I took the easy way out. she's always trying to put her feet on the table, so I let her get away with it long enough to get a picture! I'm sure she'll hate me for this one later in life:)

Fall 2008

Ok, ok, I know I've been slacking!! We've had a very busy past few months, and I decided to be lazy and not keep up with the blog. But, I promise to make up for it! Here are some pics that you've been missing out on:)
Reese was a peacock for Halloween this year. she actually really liked her costume. Her favorite part was her feet. I had to hide the costume after Halloween, cause that's all she wanted to wear! We went to a wedding for one of Kevin's cousins in Oct. Reese got to dress up, and had a great time running around, dancing and eating cake!

The Steinerts brought Reese some Minnie Mouse Ears this summer from their Disney vacation. She pulls them out about once or twice a week and puts them on. I've even caught her trying to put them on Crosby.

Speaking of Crosby, he's still holding rank as #1 Dog, and Best Friend to Reese. He puts up with a lot of "tough love" from her. She wants to know where he is at all times, and if possible, she'll find a way to be touching him! She likes to pretend cook, and follows Crosby around the house with a wooden spoon, shoving "bites" in his mouth. When he's done with that game, she steals whatever toy he has, and runs with it shrieking his name, so he'll chase her and they can play tag. And, when he can't take anymore, she'll just sit on him to watch cartoons.

One of Reese's favorite places to go is Origins. The girls treat her like a princess, of course. The first thing she does when we get there is grab an empty shopping bag. She then proceeds to walk around "shopping", and putting things in her bag.
