The 2nd pumpkin patch.

2010-10-29T15:16:00.000-07:00

What is cute is Hallie was scared at first to ride on the carousel, but by the 2nd time she was begging for one more ride and batting my hand off her back. You know she is a "big girl big"

Finally I got a smile on camera. She really is a Happy girl!

Our sweet ONE year old on her birthday!

Yes, Hallie loves puppies!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post. I have to say I had so much fun planning Hallie's first party!! The only thing that stinks was that I got really sick the 2 days before with the flu. Thank you to Grandma GG, Grandma KK and to Keri. Thank you for coming out. I love you guys more than you know. Big thanks to everyone who shared this day with us. I'm sure it was more for us than it was for Hallie.

Our sweet Hallie girl is turning ONE next month on the 12th of March! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Josh and I often say that we can't remember life without Hallie. We love you Hallie and are so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to us. You make everyday a joy.

Being your mom has brought my life so much happiness. I love you so much!

Memorial Day!

2009-08-30T20:35:00.000-07:00

Memorial Day! This is Hallie's first swim. We went to our friends the Combs and had so much fun! Just look at how cute she is in that swimsuit.

Hallie got tired after a long day in the sun!

Feel your food

2009-08-28T20:56:00.000-07:00

The books say to let you "feel your food" so I let you. This in the result. I'm not sure this is what they had in mind.

Dear Hallie,

2009-08-25T20:37:00.000-07:00

I am going to keep this blog as a Journal of your life. I want to share some details about you and your personality . Hallie, you are so fun! I can't wait till you wake up in the morning. You have the biggest smile on your face when you wake up. When you see me or daddy you giggle so much. You have the best personality, and you are easy going and fun. I love being your mom and spending every day with you. You change everyday. You think you are so big, and you want to do everything I do, which I think is so cute and fun. You love to go out with me and go in the baby Bjorn. You love it because you can see every thing that is going on around you. You are so curious. You just take in the world. I think you are so smart. I just know you are going to have alot to say.

Being your mom is even better than I thought it could be. Hallie, you are a dream come true. I hope that as you get older that you will continue to love me like you do now.

Yes, that's my baby!

2009-05-22T21:43:00.000-07:00

The best face a mom can see. Hallie smiling was one of the best moments of my life. I love my girl. Hallie, I hope you know how much joy you bring to my life.

Look at those eyes.

Hallie's signature look. She is always looking concerned........ about what?.... I have know idea.

Hallie is a really great baby. She only cries when she is hungary or tired. She is becoming so fun.

2009-05-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

Proud and adoring grandparents. Hallie is one lucky girl.
Me and my siblings they are the best and such a support to me and Hallie. Thank you guys for all the calls and love you give. You are the best family a girl could ask for.

This is the cutest boy I know! Look at that face.

Now you know where she gets her looks from.

Candid Hallie Photos

2009-05-04T19:44:00.001-07:00

Ok, so all Hallie pictures are candid because she can't smile on demand (soon though). Here are some of our favorites.

Baby Blessing

2009-05-04T19:21:00.000-07:00

We planned to give Hallie her baby blessing at church on April 26, but we found out 2 weeks prior that we would have a stake conference that Sunday. Liz was upset that our parents would be coming out and we couldn't do the blessing, but our Bishop offered to do it in our home that day.

We had an amazing experience having our parents in town and inviting our friends over for the blessing. Hallie was cute and didn't cry (she was partially asleep). The Spirit was very strong as we sang some children hymns, had a short talk, a musical number, the blessing, and then Liz and I bore our testimonies.

We had a great lunch after the little meeting, which was amazing because we had each of our friends bring what they were really good at making. All in all, the day couldn't have gone better.

Splish Splash -- Hallie's First Bath

2009-03-29T20:55:00.000-07:00

After the disgusting umbilical cord fell off, we gave Hallie her first bath!

She was a bit confused when we first put her in the bath, however, she loved being in the warm water. Hallie would have stayed in the bath forever had we let her.

She shivered and cried when we took her out of the water, but we were able to quickly wrap her in blankets. Since then, we have given her another formal bath.

We were trying to get Hallie awake during the early evening to get her switched from sleeping in the night instead of during the day. She was so dead asleep and not responding to normal methods of trying to get her awake (taking off her clothes or moving her around) that we decided to spice things up a bit...

Hallie Elizabeth leaves the hospital

After getting home, Hallie got comfortable quickly with the new surroundings.

(above is Hallie's signature move -- the pirate)

After four and a half days in the hospital, we left on Monday at noon. Packing and loading our little rascal in the car was very fun.

Our sleepy girl

Liz is doing much better today -- she is taking walks and going to the bathroom by herslef. Very impressive.

Hallie is being very good at 1.5 days old. She's sleeping about 90 percent of the time, but is very animated when awake.

My little Hal pal was so cute when she was born, squinty eyes and all.

Hallie's Suite -- The Nursery

Josh -- 7 trips to Home Depot, a few hundred dollars, and a few weeks of weekend work later...we have Hallie's room complete. Liz actually did most of the painting, which she is very good at. Meanwhile, I did the wood work, which I'm not very good at doing. Given our inexperience with home improvement, we show everyone who walks in the door (or even down our sidewalk) our pride and joy, the nursery. We may not have diapers for Hallie, but she has the coolest baby girl room ever.

2009-01-19T15:38:00.000-08:00

It has been a crazy four and a half years, and I can't believe it is now 2009. We have been so blessed to have traveled to so many wonderful and exotic places. Josh graduated from BYU, and then off to to graduate school we went. We moved to Frisco Texas in June, and now we are expecting in March our first child--a baby girl named Hallie.
