Updates on the Rees Family!

Wow! Where do I begin? Well, on August 22nd our little Daisy turned ONE!! I can’t believe it!! It is so crazy a whole year has already pasted by. We decided that because she is SO cute and EVERYONE totally loves her..(haha) we would let her have a party. The party turned out way better than Caleb and I thought it would. A lot of our friends came from our ward to support us, Caleb’s family came, and my wonderful parents stopped by on their way back to Vegas. We had lots of games and food, and heck, we even got my Dad to play Pin the Crown on the Princess! Haha. What a great Grandpa! Daisy got a ton of presents…, which we so did not expect or need. But thank you to all of you anyway! (We’ve hid most of them away to re-gift at Christmas! Haha)




After Daisy’s Birthday, school started for me! Yay!! Which by the way is going very well. I actually just signed up for my Praxis test that I will be taking November 15th! I am nervous but at the same time already feel really good about it! (It’s a test that I have to pass in order to keep going to school next year. It covers everything you are supposed to learn and remember from 1st-6th grade.)
The day before my 21st Birthday (August 28th) I chopped my hair!! I really wasn’t comfortable with it at first. Not because it was short…but because the style it totally different than what I normally do. I love volume and poof. This 'do' is flat and straight. Haha. I hope you like. I am loving it more and more each day! Especially how quick it is to do!
We celebrated my birthday with Liz and Jess, and also went to eat with Caleb’s parents to celebrate his mom’s birthday too. Lucky Caleb, he only has to remember one date for his mother and wife’s birthday.





On Saturday August 30th, Daisy just up and started walking. I’m telling you, the day before Liz and I were working with her and she kept stumbling between us. But then all of a sudden the next day she just starts walking like it is nothing. Her cousin Claire was there for the weekend and I think Daisy was watching her and was just getting fed up that she couldn’t keep up. So I guess she just decided to do what Claire was doing and just started walking.








Now she walks everywhere and even shows off by watching the TV while walking to her banana chair. Haha. Cutie!



ANYWAY!! Good news Minute!! As you can tell…. Caleb and I finally got the Internet!! Yes!! Plus Caller ID and a few other phone features. But my favorite is the Caller ID!! Anyway, back to the Internet…so we got it right? Well, because we are renting an old house the phone plug in our room doesn’t work. So we took an extremely long gray phone cord that stretches from our room all the way into our kitchen….just to get the dang Internet to work. Haha. Oh well. I have it now and I am happy! So I can Blog every day! (Haha. I wish.)



Caleb and I have also already met with a realtor and plan on talking with some people this weekend about a loan to buy our First house! We plan to be in a house by this coming summer! Yes!! I can’t wait!



Ummm I hope that is everything. Sorry again for not keeping up on blogging. As you can tell August is a busy month for us!

I just cut my hair and we look like twins! It's so fun to have short hair. You look cute. And Daisy's party looked fun. Jane turns 1 Oct. 1st and we are really excited, only we don't know many people to have big party. Daisy's walking videa is cute. Jane is so close to walking, maybe she'll do it spontaneously one day too.
P.S. I'm glad you're back online. Blogging is the best.
