Summer is coming!!!

Today we were out enjoying the sun with Anne, Josh, and Will. After our walk we headed to their backyard to let the kids play in Josh's kiddy pool. I wasn't sure what Hallie would think but with Josh showing her how it is done she figure it out pretty quick. Of coarse as their fun progressed they got more and more wet.
Eating snacks before the water fun began

Climbing in to test the water

Made it into the pool, this is where all the fun happened until Josh poured cold hose water over Hallie's head

The end result to pretty much naked but happy kiddos.

I'm sure this is the beginning of many wet days to come. Life is so good.

Mother's Day Weekend

Our Mother's Day Weekend was very busy...I think we may do it different next year because it was to busy to even enjoy the day. Saturday morning we headed to Tremonton to visit my grandma and grandpa. We had lunch with Mindi and Corey and then rushed back to show our house(have I mentioned I hate that?)Only to turn around again and head to Bountiful to have dinner with the Brower family. We had a great night visiting and playing games. Matt as always was in on entertaining the kids(he is a big kid a heart which is one thing I love about him) and when it was time to come home we did so with four extra kids(that was a hand full).



Late to bed and way to early to rise sometimes I think I need to think these things through a little better. Matt wasn't feeling good so he slept in while I fixed breakfast for the herd. Not the Mother's Day I expected but we had a good time. We then made cupcakes to take to Alivia's baby blessing that afternoon. They turned out so cool and I would totally do them again and it was fun for the kids to help. The best part was Hallies face when she was eating it...priceless




Hopefully next year Mother's Day will have a little more relaxing and time with our little family. I really think I get to celebrate Mothers day each morning I get to get up and find my sweet baby sleeping in her bed only to remember that she is mine forever. Thanks Hallie for making me a mommy.

Look at my Cute Hair..19 Months

Hallie's hair is finally filling in so it looks pretty cute...what do you think?


Hallie continues to excel in everything that she does she is using new words everyday. She now can count to 3 both aloud and on her fingers before yelling GO! She can also say her ABCs up to D but after that they get a little mixed. Her newest words are good girl, go, water, outside, Missy, bubbles, cheese, stop, as well as lots of new singing which we love and she thinks she is so funny.
I'm sure there is a lot I am forgetting but it changes everyday I can't keep up.

Poor Dog

I guess this is why we got a puppy so they could grow up together and Missy wouldn't kill Hallie.

This is usually what she looks like after which is just how I like her.

Girls Day

I am always looking for fun and cheap ways to have fun with Hallie. So a couple of weeks ago was National Pretzel Day and Pretzel Maker gave away free pretzels so that afternoon we headed to the mall to have some pretzel. Hallie has been getting more and more into girly things lately and it makes it so much fun we window shopped and even tried on some shoes for Hallie. I love having one on one time to spend with my special little one. She makes life so much fun and each day a new adventure.

Then the next day was Baskin Robbins 31 cent scoops. I got home from work showered. We ran up to get ice cream before Matt left for the soccer game leaving Hallie and I for another girls night. We decided to take our time on the way home since we were in no hurry. We didn't even have dinner before so when we got home we had to enjoy one of the 1st warm days so far so we set up a picnic with sandwiches, chips, and the remainder of our ice cream. I am definitely mom of the year but you know what sometimes its more fun to act like a kid than an adult(once and a while).
In this picture she was way to busy eating her nutritious chips to look at the camera.

I think like most parents I can't picture what our lives were without her.
