The 2nd pumpkin patch.

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!

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.

Hallie's first birthday

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!

Feel your food

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,

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!

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.

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.
