Christmas Break 2011

Christmas a great. Santa brought Reece this awesome 4wheeler that goes by the press of her thumb. She enjoys it if mom or dad is pressing the button. She's still a little timid of doing it herself:) My sister and her family came to visit for the break and it was so great being with them. Reece loves her cousins-well not so much Bridger but she asks for Jaxon and Addy daily still. Thank goodness for blogs :) Sadly Nick had to work for most of it but the time it didn't was much enjoyed.

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Roskelley's. Enjoying some R&R with Addalyn.

Stealing the candy canes off the tables at Nana's. She's a quick one ;)

We were able to get some nice sledding in despite the lack of snow:)

Her and Bridger had to take a break from the sledding for a playground fun

Aunt Kristen and Reece getting ready to hit the big hill.

They enjoyed riding horses but we were short one but Reece didn't seem to mind the feather duster:)

Attempt at a glamor shot, not so wonderful

These next few I enjoyed so I had to add them. She's getting so big, fun and beautiful!!

Will post hopefully soon. My camera broke on Christmas Eve :( I know, But Nick was able to take a few of Christmas morning so I just need to get him to download them on to the computer for me so I can post them- (soon amy soon )

Fisher Christmas Party

The Fisher Christmas Party was last weekend. It was Nick's Uncle Kile and Aunt Jen turn to host and they did a splendid job :) Good food, good company, good times. Thanks again. Oh, and did I mention a special guest happened to pop in which the little kiddies enjoyed-well most of them ;)
She wouldn't sit on Santa's lap. I guess she's familiar with "stranger-danger". So Daddy just held her while Santa gave her a gift

Then she tried to give it back . She's so generous :)

She was so excited for the pajamas (once she opened them)- she couldn't wait to show them off

Thankgiving 2011

Thanksgiving this year was a little off due to Nick working nights. He had to work the night before and the night of so Reece and I were flying solo. But we were able to spend time with my family and enjoy some delicious grub (as always) so it was enjoyable. I love the the holiday season, all the lights, the music, the get togethers and love of family and friends. Just the feeling in the air is so peaceful! I just love it!!! So in the spirit Nick was sweet enough to find time between sleeping and working to get the tree up for me. Then while Reece was napping I was able to get it decorated! I just love waking up in the morning, turning on the tree, and listening to Christmas music. It's even better when Reece decides she wants to cuddle with me on the couch instead of play with Oli.

18 months

Last Friday out little peanut turned 18 months. She's so fun to be around and she's so stinking cute, I know I'm a little bias but non the less :) She had her doctor's appointment today and she did amazing. She had to have 2 shots but she just cried for a short second then pulled the band-aids off and and started playing with them. After they weighed her she had to stay in her diaper until the doctor came in. It was so cute, I wish I had my camera so show you but I wasn't that prepared. Try and imagine for me, Reece laying on the bed just in her diaper, pillow under her head, and a sucker in her mouth. :) Funny girl. She weighs almost 23 pounds (80%), she's 32 1/2 inches tall (65%) and her head is down to the 75 percentile. She's pretty much perfect. Things she's into lately, She LOVES babies and dolls. She'll wrap up her dolls in her blanket and bounce them in her arms while she carries them around, so funny. She tried to whistle the other day. She loves to sing. I think her favorite songs are The Wheels on the Bus and Ba Ba Black Sheep. She gets a few of the words that we can understand:). She loves forts. She pull a blanket over to Nick when he's sitting on the couch and look him straight in the face and say, "Fort, IwantFort"- Yes, all one word :) The other day she was playing horse with Nick. She was climbing on his back and pulled his shirt up and said, "Cookie" and started scratching at a mole like she was trying to get it.

She's still into shoes-don't you worry

She enjoys rocking but as you can see, she needs her baby in front of her :) (Just like Daddy did with her on the four-wheeler) She catches on quick

Yes, that's our daughter in her diaper, cowboy hat and boots riding her horse :)

She's sort of getting into the potty train mode. I thinks it's more of an entertainment than anything. But one time when she said 'I pee', I took her to the toilet and one drop came out. I'm sure it wasn't intended but non-the-less. So the above picture is her enjoying a piece of candy for the success. It's pretty cute though when she sits on the toilet. We'll get her up on her little seat and she instantly needs a little piece of toilet paper. She wraps it up and sticks it between her legs and then 'iwantmore' comes out and she'll turn around and attempt to flush. We'll give it another few months before we really attempt that battle :)

Showing off her coat :)

Enjoying a roll. I think she was able to get 2 bites in before she 'shared' with Oli.

Halloween catch up

These AMAZING roses are from my dear husband for our Anniversary. He was still down in training so we weren't able to be together but the roses were beautiful! Reece enjoyed smelling them :)

On to Halloween... We were able to hit up a school carnival with my brother John's family. Reece enjoyed all the kids and costumes. She wasn't too interested in the games but she sure enjoyed the popcorn:)


Halloween day Reece and I thought we'd start the visits off early because last year we didn't make it to many houses because she fell asleep. Nick had to work that day so we did a few trick or treats before be got home. She enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa Roskelley's house. They gave her a little book that she enjoyed reading with Grandma. Thanks :)
