Another Update is all I can offer.

This will be another quick post! I am so behind with homework and I teach a 4th grade class next week! I am excited but also nervous!
I cut my hair again because I didn't really like the other do, so now it is short in the back and longer around my face. (I know they have a name for it, but I don't know it.)
Last weekend Caleb and I went looking for houses with our realtor for the first time. We found one that I fell INLOVE with! My parents will be driving through town tomorrow to see it and I hope they approve! I finally talked Caleb into LOVING it too!! So I think we are really really serious about this home and will probably be in it before Christmas or maybe even Halloween! Yay!!!




I wish I had a picture of this one... but the other night we were putting Daisy in the bath. I got her undressed before Caleb got the bath filled. So she ran over to the bathtub excited like always to jump right in. Well, instead of Caleb just putting her right in, he walked towards me talk about how cute she looked leaning over the bathtub waiting to get in. Well, when he looked over at her the second time while talking about how cute she is...he starts yelling "SHE'S PEEING!! SHE'S PEEING!!" and runs over to her and grabs our bathroom rug! I start laughing that he runs and saves his RUG instead of just hurrying and putting Daisy in the TUB!! I really was about to pee my pants when we both looked back at Daisy and she starts to slips in her pee the first time. Then she catches herself and then slips again! By this point Caleb can't even get me to breath or for that matter help him catch her!! Finally Daisy just Slips FLAT ON HER BACK!! Oh the poor thing!! She was just laying in her own pee!! Hahahahahah!! I still can't get over it!!

I will get pictures soon.
Sorry for another quick wrap up!

The Fun Filled Weekend and going to Hell

I am so mad!! I totally forget my camera this whole weekend! Which means no one is going to want to read this blog. But whatever. I had fun!

So on Friday was our single wards R.S. enrichment night. They decided they were going to do a Girls Camp theme and have a sleepover, food, crafts, and whatever else. I told Caleb earlier that week that he needed to make me go when Friday came around, because more than likely I would've decided I wasn't going to go. Which was the case. But He still kept pushing me to go. We came to the agreement that I would go for and HOUR and he would call me at 8:00pm and ask if I wanted to go home? That way if I did, I just had to say Yes (making it sound like a positive remark on my end) haha. Anyway, He did call at 8pm but I told him NO!! I was having a lot of fun getting to know the girls. Of course by that point nothing had really started...so of course after I hung up with him things just dragged a long. BUT not for long!! I let my real self out and boy did we all have a blast!! We played murder in the dark, seek and hide, and even sang songs while letting the Sh** word slip every now and then when I got scared!! Haha!! It was one of the best nights I have had in a long time!! They even got pictures of me dressing up in the girls bars!! haha.. They say they will post them on the Bishops wall!! Wonderful!! Just Wonderful!! :0)

Saturday was another good day. Caleb had told me about his Hinton Burdick outing for a while now. I thought it was just another one of those boring dinners where you had to dress and act like you knew everyone or cared to meet them. Come to find out Saturday morning it was a swimming BBQ down in St. George!! Awesome!! I love Swim parks and I thought for sure Daisy would love it now that she can walk and actually enjoy the kids pool area!! Which she did!! (I am still so mad I didn't have my camera!!) Caleb and I took turns on the big slide and because we were their after closing hours, we were able to get away with Daisy not having to wear a life jacket!! It was just lots of fun and I totally would go back again!! Not to mention the whole thing was free other than the gas to get down there!! I'm tellin' ya...we need more breaks like this!!

As for Sunday it was a Holiday!! Yep Stake Conference! I told that to Caleb Saturday night that we would be missing church because it was stake Conference and he said, "what?" I told him that growing up Dad always said it was a holiday. Yep! Stake conference, ward conference, and General conference. But of course Caleb came up with some kind of spiritual comment about the importance of them all and not taking the sacrament. I only laughed which I am sure means I will be going to Hell. But what do ya do. It was a great weekend and didn't want to deal with Daisy at church.

Sorry no pictures for such a long blog.

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!
