I am fairly new at this & so I am just trying this out to see if this is something that my family/friends might be interested in to keep tabs on us "utley's". I hope that it will be something that you can all enjoy.

Reese just had her first birthday. As you can see she really enjoyed the cake part. She has become quite little ham....always has to be the center of attention. She loves going to the cabin because that means that she gets to go for rides on the 3 & 4-wheelers. She gets so excited when she sees them that she actually goes up & hugs the tires. Her grandpa said that he knew little boys were built with motors but not little girls. This one definitely has a motor....she loves anything that has any sort of engine. She vroom-vroom's everything which means she also has the bruises that go along with vroom-vrooming. Her first words were not mama or dada but bye-bye & baby. We think she must know that we are going to leave her soon to have the baby.

If you haven't heard....we are expecting a new one around the middle of December. I finally have an appt. to see a Dr. this week. That has been a hassle of its own . I told Aaron that if he wanted to find out the sex this time we could....so we should know soon.

Other than that we are doing well & we know that Heavenly Father is blessing us. We are especially grateful for the help & support from our families here. It has been nice to be in their midst.
