Well I thought I'd just give a little update. Kaylee had a Dr appointment today-her 1 yr checkup and we are proud to announce she is now over 15 lbs! She weights in now at 15lbs 5 oz. Maybe by 2 years old she can reach the 20 lb mark and be able to face forward in her car seat. She was taking a few steps by herself, but fell down a few times and now she is too scared to try it. I guess we'll have to keep working with her. She can point out her belly, toes, hair, nose, and is working on fingers. Her vocabulary consists of Hi, nana (banana), mom, dad, and yeah. She sure is cute- still no teeth.
Jake is still working a lot of hours. Boeing is trying to get that new airplane the 787 out. He just yesterday got called to be first councilor in the Elders Quorum presidency, so on top of work he'll be really busy! I also got a calling yesterday -Visiting Teaching Coordinator. That should keep me pretty busy as well. There are a lot of apartments in our ward so it is pretty transient. I still go walking most mornings with the girls from the ward. We have a good time chatting. The weather is starting to turn bad though so outdoor walks might soon end! I don't look forward to winter here!
Saturday our ward had a Halloween carnival and trunk or treat! (The kids go trick or treating to all the cars in the church parking lot- for those of you who don't know what trunk or treat is). We found out that we were pretty lame because we didn't decorate our trunk. Opps, maybe next year. The weather turned out so nice. I guess it has rained for the past 5 or so years but it was great this year! We had fun dressing Kaylee up but by the end she just really wanted to be in bed as you can tell in this picture.
Our nice family picture!

Yesterday was Kaylee's birthday! I can't believe she is already a year old! We didn't have much of a party since we had just got back from Utah the day before, but we did have a few friends over for cake and ice-cream. The missionaries even came over since they were at our neighbor's house for dinner. I was really glad they came because our camera wasn't working (surprise-it never works) so Elder Abbot let us use his! The cake isn't cute! It fell apart when I tried to get it out of the pan so the frosting is all that is holding it together. Good thing she's only 1 and doesn't care.
These are our friends Boyd, Kathryn and Ben -Ben is Kaylee's best friend. He got Kaylee some bath toys for her birthday.
