Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Justin's family and we had a great time! There was lots of great food and it was fun to be able to visit with everyone. Kabella's hair started out pretty cute, but by the end of the day she looked like she had stuck her fork in a light socket.

Macoy is now 6 weeks old.

Halloween

This year for Halloween Kabella was a pretty little pony. She really liked her costume even though she had a hard time being able to see where she was going when the hood was on!

Macoy was somewhat of a pumpkin. I'm sure he'll have a much more exciting costume next year.

Here is Macoy with his two cousins Jaden and Ty.

He had his three week appointment today and now weighs 10 lbs 14 oz and is 22 3/4 inches long.

Macoy Vance

Macoy was born on Wed. the 14th at 12:38 pm. Everything went well with the delivery until the shoulders tried to make their appearance. I guess the technical term is shoulder dystocia. Once the Dr. was able to get him out, they checked him over and everything was just fine! He weighed in at 9 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long. He is a good eater and everyone thinks he looks just like Justin (I'm sure that's exactly why the shoulders were stuck)!

Kabella is adjusting to life with the baby. She is really gentle with him and likes to give him lots of kisses. :)

38 Weeks

Well, I am still pregnant and getting bigger and grouchier every day. If the baby isn't here by the 14th, then I will be induced. We are trying to help Kabella understand that there is a baby in mom's tummy, but I don't think she quite grasps what we are trying to tell her.

Here we are showing off our lovely lady lumps!

18 Months

Kabella is now 18 months old and will go to nursery for the first time on Sun. (Yeah!!!) She has always been interested in wearing my bra, socks, and any kind of gloves. This morning she was asking to wear all three, so I decided I just couldn't pass up this candid moment.

At her 18 month appointment, she was 32 1/4'' long and weighed 25.4 lbs.

Big Uh-Oh

A few weeks ago I was getting ready for the day in my bathroom while Kabella was busying herself with something in the cabinet next to me. By the time I looked to see what she was doing, it was too late! She had somehow managed to unscrew the lid off a bottle of my finger nail polish. Luckily she only spilled it on the tile and not the carpet. Unluckily she had some on her hand and just had to rub her eye! Since I couldn't use fingernail polish remover on her face (I called the Dr. just to be sure) I had to let it wear off. The sad thing is the whole thing happened just inches from me and I didn't even notice!

Swim Time

Kabella LOVES the water. Even if she's just playing with the garden hose, she's having a blast! Here are a few of the most recent pictures of her enjoying some good quality H2O!

In the Backyard trying out a little slip and slide...


At the Lindon Swimming pool for our ward party. Justin really enjoyed the lazy river. (Maybe it's because he's so lazy!) J/K babe, I love ya! :)

It's a BOY!!

Justin and I found out that Kabella is going to be getting a little brother! We are so excited! I tried to convince myself that I didn't care either way, but I really did want a boy! He is very active, much more active than Kabella ever was!

Kabella also had her 15 month appointment the other day. She weighed in at 23.6 lbs and is about 32'' long.

Festival of Tulips

I was very fortunate to be able to go to the Festival of Tulips this year with my friend Amanda and her family. It was absolutely gorgeous!

A rare moment...me allowing my photo to be taken.

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun this year. We ended up going over to my parent's house for dinner and an easter egg hunt. Kabella didn't quite understand what was going on, so she needed lots of help! Daddy helped her find all her easter eggs that Uncle Aaron and Grandpa had "hid" around the yard.

Grandpa helped her open the eggs to see what was inside.

She sure enjoyed making a mess with all that stupid grass!

I have to do a little bragging here...Justin got me flowers for no reason! Isn't that sweet! He came home with these tulips and a card. I have a very sweet and thoughtful husband. It was especially sweet and thoughtful because I really don't deserve them. I have been a monster lately because my hormones are all out of whack. For those of you who don't know, I'm pregnant again! Justin and I are really excited. My due date is Oct. 2oth. Kabella and the new baby will be about 19 months apart, so I'm really going to have my hands full!

I wanted to get a cute picture of Kabs with the beautiful flowers, but this was the best I could get. She didn't want to cooperate at all!

13 Months

I'm a little behind, so I thought I would create two different posts. Kabella loves bath time. She has started drinking her bath water, which I think is disgusting, but it hasn't seemed to harm her yet. Her hair is really hard to style because it's so thin, this is probably the best hair-do I have ever given her!

All rinsed off and ready to get out.

The final product!

Besides baths, Kabella also loves animals. Here she is with Jarom's bulldog Roxie. She's probably on the ground because Roxy is like a bulldozer and had just plowed her over! She's a great sport.

Kabella is 1

Can you believe that Kabs is already 1? Man, this year sure did fly! Here are a few pictures from her party. Thanks to everyone that came and for all your help!

She got lots of cute clothes and some fun toys too!

Her favorite was a soft teddy from Grandma Brunko.

She ate pretty much all of her cake!

During the feeding frenzy, she had an itch on her eye she just had to rub!

Here is a picture of me on my 1 year birthday. I think everyone is right, she is a good mix of both Justin and me. :)

11 Months

I finished my magnet board (this one is for you Celeste). I don't love it, but it turned out ok.

Kabella is now 11 months old and walking up a storm. She is really hard to keep still when I change her diaper. She gets away from me sometimes and likes to run around naked.

Justin taught Kabella how to stick out her tounge. This is her one of her favorite things to do now.
