Christmas 2008

This Christmas Season was so much fun! We had a fun Christmas party that Andrew and Becky were nice enough to host. With the Andrus family we acted out the Bible story of Jesus birth, it turned out so cute! Kailee was a little stinker, but as soon as she got some food to eat she finally sat still. Kailee hates Stanta, which I know comes with the age, but she was able to see Santa and attempt to sit on his lap 3 times. On Christmas morning it was fun to watch Kailee open all of her gifts and eat christmas captin crunch for breakfast. (One of Jacob's tradition's from his childhood) The best part about Christmas was being able to spend time with family and friends! We Love you All!

Kailee and Trace

Kailee hanging out with her buddy Trace. It was so cute to watch them play together. Trace is about 1 year older then Kailee, but they play so well together! Kailee will follow Trace around where ever he goes! At daycare when it is time to say goodbye they will give each other hugs! It it so CUTE! It was funny when ever I told Trace to say 'Cheese' this is the face he would make, it was hilarious!

Photo Tag

I've been tagged! I got tagged on the same one by Angela, and Liz! Thanks guys! This is a picture of Kailee with my mom's dog, Chase! She loves to lay on him, pull his fur out, and give him kisses! It's so cute! Luckly Chase doesn't care what Kailee does to him, he will just lay there and lick her to death! I tag who ever feels like being tagged! :) Here's how this tag works: 1.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we had Family pictures taken, since everyone was in town and together. We had them taken at the Joesph Smith Memorial Building. These are some pictures I took before the Photographer got there. Kailee and Brock, they are so cute together! Kailee Bug! Isn't she so cute! She was striking a pose for me! Kailee and Daddy! I love this picture of them together! Grandma Mellor (my mom) with the two monsters! To the right of her is my Grandma Mellor!

Thanksgiving!

This year for Thanksgiving, we had it at Randy and Rachel's house. I would have to say that this Thanksgiving was the most memorable. We had everyone there, except for my neice Jessica, she is serving her mission in Alabama. Before we ate we all went around the room and said what we were Thankful for, I was so thankful that all of my family was able to be there! After stuffing ourselfs full, we all relaxed and sat around. We stared up a game of Monopoly! Randy, by brother, really gets into this game! It so hilarious! He went from having nothing to almost winning the game! Unfortunatly, he did not win! I did! YEA for me! All in all Thanksgiving was a success! We had turkey and left overs for the next three days! YUMM! Thank you Randy and Rachel for hosting Thanksgiving this year! It turned out perfect! Here is a slideshow of everyone and our fun filled day!

Kailee is not safe at daycare!

This is how I last saw Kailee this morning when I dropped her off at daycare. I also left her cute little pink BYU beanie that matches her pink BYU shirt for her to wear when they go outside. One of the daycare teachers is nice enough to send me cute little picture messages every once in a while. . . . This is the picture message that I received about mid morning, titled "She is secretly a Utes fan". Isn't this horrible! They are brain washing her! They even changed her out of her levi's and put red pants on her. She is too little to defend for her self! :) Wait. . . there is more. . . At nap time I received this one, Titled "Even in her dreams she is a Ute fan". They took the little paper signs and put them above her crib, while she slept. I am sure she had nightmares!! Those Cougars better win on Saturday or I don't know if I want to take her to daycare on Monday! :) I don't know if Kailee can handle another day of being tortured like this!

GO BYU!

The time is almost here. . . BYU vs. U of U! We must show our BYU pride! Jacob gets all decked out every week for the BYU game and I mean DECKED out! He bought Kailee this cute little shirt so she can show off her BYU pride TOO! GO COUGARS!! I was so excited, I was finally able to get her hair in two little pig-tails! YEA!

HALLOWEEN!

This year for Halloween we had a lot of activities going on. I will start from the begining: ANDRUS HALLOWEEN PARTY We got together with all of Jacobs brothers and their families and had a fun little Halloween party. JoLene (my mother-on-law) had all sorts of goodies for the kids. She made spider oreos, eye ball donuts, and had a ghost pinata. All the kids took turns hitting it. Evan used his big strong powers (he was wolverine) to break open the pinata. Here is Mckaylee(cousin)and Kailee with some of the candy and the broke open ghost. This is Mckaylee in her monkey costum. So cute!! HALLOWEEN PARADE AT THE DAYCARE At the daycare they do a parade every year, where the kids walk through the halls of the building and the people that work in the building come down and give candy to all the kids. I was really excited this year since kailee was able to walk. It was really cute, when ever any one would put a treat in her bucket she would have to stop and look in her bucket to see what it was. Kailee and Mommy! She really wanted to eat the candy! She stopped in the middle of the hallway and started throwing a fit! I had to get a picture of it! Here is Kailee with her buddy Trace! VISITING GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ANDRUS HALLOWEEN NIGHT. Here is Kailee with Grandma Andrus and her cousin Evan. Kailee with Grandpa Andrus and her cousins Hayden and Evan. This is Jacobs Halloween costum! I'm not sure what he was! :) FRIENDS HALLOWEEN PARTY AT SAVANNAH'S HOUSE We had such a great time. We played a murder mystery game that was really fun, we had lots of good food, and good company. We had a costum contest and Candice won, she was dressed as a 20's flapper. She was really cute! Thanks Savannah for hosting the party it turned out really great! This is David and Aubrey and their little "Mighty Mouse" (Dominic) he was so cute! Candice and Nate Sarah in her pink tutu! Watch out!! Sarah and Liz And before the night was over Kailee got a kiss from Dominic. It was so hilarious!

Family Pictures

These are some of our family pictures we had taken a little bit ago. We went up Big Cottonwood canyon and found a perfect spot with lots of bright fall colors. The red leaves weren't there quit yet, but the yellow and orange leaves were so bright and pretty. It was perfect. Annie Duckworth was our wonderful photographer, taking pictures is one of her side hobbies. She did a fantastic job. I thought we wouldn't be able to get very many good ones with how cranky Kailee was being, but Annie and her side kick Nick (her husband) worked really hard to get her to smile. Nick had to wave and jump out from behind Annie to get her attention and get her to smile. I'm sure he was exhausted by the time we left! Thank you guys so much! We love our family pictures! Kailee was a little witch for Halloween this year and we got some really great ones of her in her costum. Isn't she just the cutest witch you've ever seen?? I think so!
