Reese & Baby Kellen - love at first sight

This December is the first time Reese met her little cousin Kellen (Chloe's little guy). As you can tell they have bonded and are already great snuggle buddies. Reese squeaks with excitement every time she is around him and wants to touch him or...gouge his eyes out with her forefinger. All out of love though, all out of love.

Lights, Camera...Adorable!

This is my all-time favorite picture of Reese

Jason & Reese

My neighbor Lisa McElmurry is fabulous with the camera. She took these photos and many more for us this December. I love the clean look and detail she brings out in each photo. If you ever need a photographer she is priced reasonable and very good at what she does as you can see!

Halloween

Top Pic: Visiting the Richards cousins.

Back row- Kash (as Batman), Jason (himself-wore his costume to work and called it good), Halle ( she clarified that she was not Cinderella again like last year but was a "Pretty Princess"...don't you dare get the two confused!)
Front row- Lance (as the Love Guru or confused by most as John Lennon), Susan Safari and Reese the Giraffe, Kerry (known as "Mama Kerry" not Grandma)

Middle Pic: Visiting the Soffe cousins.

Super Gwendolyn can't get enough of uncle Jason. He's really playful and sweet with her. She likes to sit(or run and jump with no warning) on his lap any chance she gets.

Bottom Pic: Reese, Owen (as the Hulk), Morgan (Spencer and Angela's son as the Count), Gwedolyn (as Super Girl) and Aven (as a Plump Pumpkin)...love those chubby cheeks!

Fall Is Here

9 months old. Love the shot of her two new top teeth. Grandpa Scott goes crazy over them every time she visits!

Giraffe On the Loose

Reese, as you can tell, was a giraffe for Halloween. I bought her outfit when she was 7 months old thinking a 6-9 month outfit would work. Wrong! The feet of the costume where up to her knee caps. She still managed to look adorable in it. Jason and I took her to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. Jason dressed up as a Chicago Cubs baseball player and I made up Safari Susan- tour guide showing off my baby giraffe.

Bath Time

Reese loves tub time. We've found out that we need to have a good grip on her because she turns into a slippery seal. She's gone under once (with mom holding her) and recovered well. No bonks or bruises just a quick head under water coming up with a drowned rat look afterwards. She just turned her head to me and gave a priceless look like "where were you on that?" I couldn't stop laughing. Can't get the image out of my head.

"I love to read"

Reese loves books! Jason and I have read to her from day one and she seems to really enjoy it. Let's hope it sticks!! I would love for her to reach for a book vs. reaching for a remote when she's older. I can now say "Reese, turn the page" and she can do it on her own. Her favorite book is her Disney Princess sing-along book. I think Jason and I have every song memorized. It cracks me up when Jason randomly breaks into princess songs!

I took Reese to the Sandy Library's "Mommy and Me" class today with cute girls in my neighborhood. Besides the male teacher being a little...ok very feminine...it was quite fun. What am I saying? That was the fun part for me! Looks like a man, talks like a woman and sings like one too? Hmmmm? The class would chuckle at Reese because she practically lunged off my lap (to grab the book being shown) each time the teacher would walk around. Too cute!

Baby Kellen is here!

Chloe and Tyler just had a healthy baby boy. They decided to name him Kellen Tyler Ray. He was born 10/9/08 at 7:00pm. 10..9...8...7 kinda funny and makes it easy to remember! Kellen weighed in at 8pds 1 ounce, is 19 1/2 inches long and looks just like the Scott side...especially Samuel! Chloe and Tyler are living in Dallas, Texas. We were not all as LUCKY as my mom to be out there for the birth. They will be visiting us in December for a few weeks. We are counting down the days until then!

Fun with Family & Friends

Beautiful Baby

We (well I) can't take too many pictures! The camera loves her. Love her eyelashes and baby blue eyes. We want to eat her...in a non-cannibal way that is!!!

Gerber Reese

Reese reminds me of the Gerber baby in this pic. Her hair is getting longer so Jason decided it was time to style it. What a sweet dad eh?! Turned out pretty darn adorable!

Diehard Broncos Fans

How cute are these two? Jason has been counting down the days until Reese fit in her Broncos cheerleading outfit. It was well worth the wait. Look at those legs. Can she pull off that outfit or what!!

Reese - 6 Months Old

Here's our beautiful baby. Is she cute or what?!!

Huntington Beach, California

Jason and I just got back from Huntington Beach. We took our first family vacation. Reese could not have been a better baby. Though it wasn't our most relaxing trip, it definitely was one of the most memorable ones!

Reese's 1st Hike

Jason and I took Reese up into the mountains. She loves the outdoors! Can't wait to go again.

Cameron's Mission Call

My little brother Cameron got his mission call. He leaves September 17th to Seattle, Washington. Pretty cool because Jason served his mission in the neighbor cities of Olympia and Tacoma.

Girls St. George Trip

It is now tradition that each spring the girls in my family take a little trip to St. George. We spend time shopping, playing in the pool, going to movies and catching up on girl talk. It was nice to add Reese to the group. This year we were sad to be without Laura (who was due any day with Aven) and Lacey(who lives in Missouri). Hopefully we will all be able to make it next year.

My First Mother's Day

To be honest...I am pretty impressed Jason stepped up to the plate and not only surprised me with flowers but helped Reese make a card for me. Too cute!!

Birthday Dinner

We gathered at P.F. Chang's with Keith and Cadace and Matt and Rachelle for my 29th birthday. Good times.
