Kabellas First Bithday!

We played games and had good food she had 2 partys

At first she didn’t know what to think that I gave her this big sweet and I was going to just let her have it. Then she really started to like it.

ALASKA

I know it has been a long time since I last posted!! We went to Alaska this summer it was so much fun and loved it! It was fun to be with family. (ps you guys rock you know). Here are some fun pictures.

We stopped at the bank in the town called the North Pole and the teller asked what we were doing in town. I told her we came to see Santa and she said well it is a long way to come just to see Santa and i told her I had a long list! She laughed very hard.

We are the best parent’s froot loops and Oreos!!! Lol whatever I can get her to eat!!! Lol

It was so cute. We were picking wild blue-berries and could not keep Kabella out of the basket!

Garden up date!

Update on the garden is it not amazing look how good it is!

So I know it has been so long since I last update! I suck! It is all good. We have been so busy. We have had weddings and holidays and lots of stuff I am now taking care of niece during the week so it is a little bit harder to get time to blog and stuff but here we are. Jeff and by default I made a goal to go on a hick once a week. It has been a lot of fun. Kabella likes it most of the time. We also went to the Grand American Hotel in down town wow the other half know how to live. It was beautiful! We also have been camping and to the zoo. It has been fun. But it is only the beginning!

ps jeff thinks i need to do more pic of my self! wether i like my look or not! so here you go!

to stop or not to stop???

Ok so just a short post.

It is a crazy week Jodi Jeff’s sister is getting married this weekend and I am making my dress and Kabella’s dress. (Pray it goes ok for us!! Lol) and I just have a ton going on this week. We had strep last week so we are recovering from that. Yes my sweet little baby had strep! Oh yea and I thought that she was impatient before she got sick!!! But we all seem to be doing better.
I think that I am done pumping (breast milk). It is a very hard thing for me as it is for most mother but there is just think big green monster that keeps saying thing in my head that I suck and I am selfish if I don’t kill myself for my baby.!? It takes so much time and I have to do so much to keep it going she will only breast feed at night so I don’t have baby stimulation. Ahahahah I don’t know what to do will this always be a battle for me., will I regret stopping???

any way have go a lot to do better start my day.

This older lady in our new ward does not use her garden space any more so she said that we can use it!!!

this is what we started with! lots of work!

Kabella wanting to eat dirt and leaves

So Jeff has this new job so he needed to go to Tennessee to do a training. So his work planed it around him because he has school and cannot miss even on day! (Back when I was pregnant he would always say I really home you go into labor over the week so that I can be there because if not I will have to go to class, yea and he would say that to a pregnant hormonal woman (he is very brave or stupid! LOL)) so Sunday high noon he left right after school got out then he was gone for 2 weeks and then I picked him up at the air port just in time to drop him off at school that night! It was really hard to let him go to school but alas I have survived.
So while he was gone I went home and tried to keep busy. Did some hair I visited a lot of people. We had a family party on my side and then on Jiffs side there was a baptism so much fun!

The weekend Jeff got home we went to the zoo and we also went for a hike. We missed him so much!

The last 2 weeks I went back home to visit family while Jeff was away on work. We missed him so much and are happy he is home! While we were up there my nephews needed a chaperon on their 4 grade field trip! So I go the honor of going it was so much fun!
