Rhen's toes

We just got Rhen some new pajamas and got them a little big so she can wear them for a while. Today as she was crawling around and climbing up on everything possible, Rease looked at me very panicky and said, "Mommy Rhenner's toes!"

I can see why Rease would be worried.

9 months

9 month stats
Height: 28.98 in. - 91%
Weight: 18.52 lbs - 44%
Head: 17.7 in. - 79%
Dr. Erikson said that she is a beanpole - tall and skinny just like her dad. But she's healthy and growing up and that's what we like to hear.
If Rease had her way, she would wear this dress everyday. I limit it to once a week but sometimes she finds it and puts it on herself. With the upside down coat and boots it makes quite an outfit.
Josh listened to Bob Marley in the car one day and now Rease always asks for "Bosh Marley" and dances whenever she hears it.


I love the fingertip dancing!

Guess Who I Am...

Hey everyone! This is Rease. I've got some new moves to show you but you're going to have to apply a little imagination if you're going to guess who I am.

Ready?

It may look like I'm just messing around instead of eating my eggs but this is actually serious.

Any guesses yet?

Okay, here is the climax.

A perfect imitation of my favorite sea creature and the only thing I watch on YouTube...

SHAMU!!

Thanks for watching.

Stuffy Nose?

Josh showed me these pictures he took of Rease one morning after she sneezed.
Yuck! Of course he would take a picture of this moment.

New seats

Rhen outgrew her old carseat so we switched her over early to the forward facing kind. We gave her Rease's old seat...
And got Rease a new booster seat.
I think they both like being able to see out.

And they're always playing and laughing together.

What good sisters and friends they are!


New Moon Premier

We are Twilight freaks and were lucky enough to be invited to a premier showing of New Moon the day before it opened. Mom and I stood in line for our seats for about 4 hours (yes we were first in line.) Hayley and Karen joined us for the last hour of waiting. We loved the movie and had such a great time - even the waiting was fun!

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year with Josh's family. We had such great food and a nice relaxing day with family.



In the true spirit of Thanksgiving, Josh had all of us around the table say what we are thankful for. My thoughts on what I am thankful for this season:
1) A wonderful family. We were so glad to have our house full of loved ones on Thanksgiving Day.
2) The gospel of Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation. What a blessing to know that I will live with my husband, kids and family forever.
3) Josh, Rease and Rhen. I don't know what I ever did without them.
4) Education. We have had to rely on my education this past little bit while Josh is finishing up his. I am grateful daily that we have this to fall back on in times of need.
5) Our home. We have been in our house 5 years and are so glad we decided to settle here for our first years of marriage.
6) Our jobs. Just in general I am grateful to be able to work.
7) Health. Thankfully we haven't had any major health problems between Josh and I and the kids. We feel very blessed about that.
We had a great day of Thanksgiving!

TBSE 2009

We went to Las Vegas again this year for the TBSE dental conference. Most of our staff ended up going and we had a blast together!
Highlights of our trip:

We ate lots of food at lots of yummy places.

Watched the water show at the Bellagio.

Partied a little - shh don't tell.

Saw the Donny & Marie show - which was amazing!

Stayed up really late.

Tried all weekend to get a picture in the elevator - this is the best we came up with.

And even went to class a little bit in between.
Peace out everyone!

Twinners for a day

My grandma (Rease and Rhen's great grandma) sends them something for every holiday. This year for Halloween they got these cute red hoodies. I put them on for the day and wanted to get a cute picture of them together to send to grandma. Why is it that whenever I really want a picture I can never get a good one of both of them at the same time? This is the photo shoot we went through...



Ends up with Rhen crying and Rease hysterical. Typical day.
