Labor Day Weekend

So as with most holidays we head to have some fun in the sun with the family. This weekend was no different..so friday afternoon we headed for sunny central. Friday night we went to see Tarzan which was really good but Nic was nice enough to watch Hallie and the camera was in the diaper bag so alas no pics. I would recommend going to see the show if you get a chance although not as good as Lion King. We also did some much needed retail therapy while Matt stayed home to study and put Hallie down for a nap. Hallie has also learned to say mama and uses it like she completely knows what it means for about a week now which I love but a break and 2 free hands to shop is always nice!
Shades for the bright sun

This weekend we also celebrated Hallies upcoming birthday since my family lives so far away we decided to have a party this weekend. Nic & Ky even surprised us and were able to come. Hallie was unsure what to do with her presents but she liked climbing in the gift bag. She got spoiled(no surprise)with many awesome and thoughtful gifts. I can't believe that our little girl is approaching a year but what a growing year it has been for all of us. One we will cherish the rest of our lives.

When we sang you would have thought you put Hallie in front of a firing squad she looked scared for her life. But here is the video decide for yourself

Blowing out the candle

This is what the cupcakes looked like before we ate them

The cupcakes in the cones were a brilliant idea she loved it

Waving goodbye to our guests

Poor Sofie all she was trying to do is hide I think Hallie wore her out!
