I LOVE YOU MORE

Long Time No BLOG???

2010-01-19T09:21:00.000-08:00

Well Hello There....

Its been a very very long time since i have blogged. Alot of things have happened, things have changed, things keep changing and our life is a race that we are trying to make it to the finish line....not in last place. So, i dont have much time to blog at this moment, so i will hopefully get some pictures uploaded and hopefully i will get a new, long post made on this sad blog that i have created.

Its been AWHILE......

2009-05-19T09:36:00.000-07:00

Hooray, Spring/Summer has arrived. I would dare say i dont think we are the only ones that are so excited for warm weather to be here.

Well, Brek is now over 6 months old. On her 6 month check up she weighed in at 15 pounds 15 oz. She was 25 inches long and i dont remember her head size. She is 24 % in her weight and is only 10% in her height. She is a short little stinker. She is such a good baby. She is so much fun and her cheeks are so delicious! I could kiss them all day. She is not very mobile i must say. She is kinda lazy. She kinda likes to just lay around and just hang out. I am in no hurry for her to grow up though...so she is just fine not moving. I am trying to keep up with Hallie, cause she is always keeping me on my toes. Last week we moved Brek into her own room in her crib. I know 6 months and just putting her there. (Dont Judge) The cradle we had her in is basically a crib itself so she wasnt even close to growing out of it. I always have a hard time with those transitions. I was also in no hurry cause she is not rolling over yet. She will roll from her tummy to her back but she cant quite make it from her back to her tummy yet. We also started feeding her baby food...she hates it. She will sit and turn and head to the side when i put the spoon to her mouth and start spittin it me. Then she starts to get really mad and jerking herself backwards. Its quite the joy, trust me.

So, now to the run away child of mine. I swear i cannot keep her inside. Ever since the weather has been warm, she ALWAYS wants to be outside and if she is not outside she is screaming to go outside. Did i mention i am so excited for summer to be here? I really am, but man i seriously think i will be spending every waking moment out there chasing Hallie. Hallie has grown so much in the past couple months. She is really smart. She loves to sing the temple song, but she is always wanting me to sing a song with her. Its really cute to listen to her. I cant believe that she is going to be 3 in July. She is growing up way to fast.

Along time coming and OVERLOAD with pictures.

My Sweet girls

I love this one of Hallie even though Brek is Blurry

My big girls

She was refusing to smile the day i took this picture

My chubby cheeks!

My sweet Brek

Sleepy baby

Chubbies enjoying her bumbo

Playing with her daddy

Love her

Oh my sweet Hallie and her outfits!

The loves of my life!

Ok Ok so i have heard from more then one person that i have not updated the blog in awhile...but come on i do my best with this thing.

First things first since we already passed Brek turning 4 months old and is almost 5 months now...when i took her to the Dr. she weighed in at 13 lbs 3 oz. She was 23 inches long. She is my shorty. She is getting so big and man those cheeks are just delicious! She is kinda on her own growing schedule though....somedays she will literally sleep all day and there are some days she wont sleep at all. But the good part about that is she is one very happy baby. Oh and for the record she still sleeps through the night!!! Brek is still working on trying to roll over...she more or less just likes to lay on her back and kick her legs and squeal. She is getting to about her side and then it's like she just kinda gives up and goes back to her back. She is so funny. She is always so smily and you just simply walk by and a huge grin goes on her face. OH how i love her so much.

Now to my Hallie bug....I could write a book on this girl. She is seriously the funniest little girl i have ever known. She is always coming up with something new to say to me. Her latest thing she has been doing is her own little game of follow the leader. She will come up to me and be like hey mom...do this as she is raising her arms in the air over her head. The say ok mom stomp your feet. She is so full of energy i am wondering how i am going to keep up with her this summer. Also i have a shoe fanatic. This girl...as soon as she wakes up walks over to the basket and puts on a pair of shoes. She always is switching them and stomping through the kitchen to see how much noice she can make. She keeps me laughing all day. I am going to go register her for a dance class next week and i am so excited about it. Now watching her dance could be very comical. Hallie has got no kind of rythum just like her mom. Poor girl. I am sure she will love it though so thats all that matters.

There is not much other exciting news going on with Brad and I. Brad is still just busy working, serving in his ym calling and playing on a rec basketball league during the week. As for me, i love more the anything staying home with my sweet girl and getting to watch them grow each day. There isnt a harder but more rewarding job in life then being a mother. I am still working at the School a couple days a week and enjoying that also.

On a side note...My little brother is leaving on a mission a week from today. I am really sad that he is going to be leaving, but am in shock that this day is coming so soon. He will be serving in the Louisville, Kentucky mission. I am so so so proud of him to choose to serve the Lord. He truly is one kid that i really envy and really look up to. He is a kid that is so Honest with everyone and he has a way with people that truly a very special person has. He can befriend anyone that comes in contact with him. He always is so positive and is so nice to everyone. I look up to him because he never ever says anything bad about anyone ever. He always just keeps quiet and is very respectful. I know he is going to be the best missionary ever. I am so proud of him. We really are going to miss him a lot. Hallie and Kohn has such a bond that i know its going to be hard for hallie while he is gone. Kohn we really love you so much and we are so proud of all decisions in your life that you have made. Good luck buddy!

Oh my word!!!.......

MY BABY BREK IS 3 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!
Why do babies have to grow up so fast?? I hate it! She is so cute and has such a fun, and sweet personality! Brek has started to smile and making really cute noises. She trys really hard to push out little coo's but sometimes its just a wide open mouth. I love how when she smiles, she smiles with her eyes! There is nothing better then having your baby start smiling and making such cute noises.
Brek looks nothing like her big sister and I love it! I love that they are so different in their own ways. Brek is much littler then Hallie is and ever was. Except now i am going to have to buy new clothes for Brek cause she is so little. I have not weighed her since her 2 month check up but i am thinking somewhere around 12-13 pounds.
The dress she is wearing in this picture is a dress that my Grandma sent up from arizona. It is so cute on her! All the old ladies at church loved it....They kept asking me if i made it...i just laughed and said no. I can not make anything. I wish i could have made it! I loved the hat....but it needed a flower so of course knowing me...thats what i added!

Well there is not much new here in lives. We are excited to have Valentines Day, then my Big "23" Birthday.. Man i am getting old. Then Brad's Birthday on March 6! So lots of parties, hopefully i can remember to take my camera and there should be pictures to come!

Random....

2009-01-21T13:26:00.001-08:00

I love her smile!
Model Someday
Smiles all around
Lookin at herself in the mirror
Oh chubby cheeks
Wide awake!
Hallie got into mommy's mascara---the aftermath

So not much is new around our household! We are kinda boring.
So, i am sorry to report but this is going to be a pretty short post!
The End!

Seriously......

2009-01-12T10:28:00.000-08:00

Seriously......could life possibly get any better then this?? I have the most amazing husband, two beautiful fun and very cuddly little girls and the best job in the world of being a wife and mother!

Brek's two month check up....

2009-01-12T10:22:00.000-08:00

So i took Brek in last friday for her 2 month check up and she weighed in at 9 lbs and 12oz and is only 20 inches long. I think she is getting so big but everyone says she is so little still. She is in the 1 percentile of mostly everything. Her head is in the 5th percentile. So i guess she still is pretty little....i guess.

Two Months Old!

2009-01-09T10:32:00.001-08:00

So yes...my baby Breklyn is two months old today! It really truly is sad how fast life passes by us. We are always so busy with so many different things in life....its really hard to take some extra time to just be a family and not worry about the other things.
Seriously it feels like i was just in the hospital having Breklyn. These past two months have gone by so fast...i just cant get over it!
Well Brek just sleeps all day still...and all night. Yes i am not lying...she sleeps from 10p.m. until 4 or 5 a.m. Today it was 6 a.m. Brad just keeps telling me how spoiled i am. But i agree...i got spoiled with a really good baby girl. Brek has started smiling more and making really cute noises. She is so fun and so cute! We are so blessed to have her in our family.
I love you Baby Brek!

Christmas...Brek and Hallie!

2008-12-31T14:45:00.000-08:00

So cute!!
Wide awake
So stinking cute...and yes she has panties on!

So here is the low down......Brek has RSV! Hallie is still her little stinker self with and attitude and we had an amazing Christmas!
Yeah i know...RSV...sucky stuff. Atleast it has not settled to much in her lungs so she is home with us and not in the hospital. Ever since she was born she has always been really stuffy, which Dr. C says that most babies are until about 3 months. So i took her to the dr today to get her all checked out and he said that she has a secondary infection in her nose and sinus and so he put he on some antibiotics. He told me to keep a good eye on her and if i think its getting worse to take her back in. OH and guess what...they weighed her and fully clothed she weighed
9lbs 2 oz!! Wow my baby is growing. I just look at her and she still is so little, but some moms give birth to babies this size! AHHH....does not sound fun to me!!! Ouch!
Oh...next with Hallie. She is repeating everything i say to her. So for instance...when we had our really bad week after brek was born..i would get after her and i would say...Hallie dont do that, do you hear me?! So about a week ago...hallie and i were in the shower and i was washing her hair and was dumping a cup of water on her head. Well she turned around and gave me this really dirty look and said... Mom dont do that...do you hear me?! I thought i was going to die. I cant believe she said that to me! So since then...everything i say..she is repeating me! Time to watch my mouth i think!
So our Christmas was so good. We didnt do anything huge...we just spent tons of time with family! There is nothing better then being with family during the holidays. We got very spoiled and it was so fun to watch Hallie be so excited that santa came and brought her toys. But now when she sees anyone with a beard she thinks its santa! I think next year will be fun with Hallie and Brek being one!
I just love my little girls so much...there is not a greater blessing in life then being able to be blessed to have children. I am so grateful to beable to have my own children and have a family of my own. I dont think i would trade the way my life is for anything in this whole world.
I also am so grateful for such a wonderful husband i have. He is seriously so amazing. He is such a hard worker and will do anything for us. He puts up with so much and always has a smile on his face and is always making sure that i am happy and letting me know how much he loves me!

Breklyn's Blessing

2008-12-15T08:28:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was Breklyn's Special day. She was surrounded by some very special people and her daddy gave her an amazing blessing. We were very blessed to have so many family and friends join us. We are so very blessed to be the parents of such a special little girl! She is the sweetest little thing in the whole world. I seriously could just snuggle her all day and it wouldnt bother me one bit! We are so blessed to have 2 sweet very healthy little girls to call our own. I dont know where we would be with out them. They are my whole world and i would do anything for them.
After the blessing we all got together and had a luncheon. It was so fun to catch up with some family and friends what we have not seen in a while.
Oh and Breklyn's blessing dress, was actually my dress that i wore when i was blessed. Hallie wore it to be blessed in also. It is such a pretty dress, i looks antique because its kinda going yellow, but it has so much meaning i dont mind. She looked so beautiful in it!
I love you little Brek!

SO... i am a little bit late at getting this thing updated...so here is the newest but oldest news on Baby Brek. I took her to her two week check up which was over a week ago and she was only back at her birth weight of 5 lbs 13 oz. She is in the 1 percentile of everything. Dr. C said that she is looking really good and growing good for being 3 weeks early. He was suprised at how developed her lungs were for being so early and that she never crys. Yes i know i have a little tiny thing that i have to make cry. Trust me when she does, its pathetic. Dont get me wrong i am not complaining at all after what i went through with her sister...but it seriously is so cute. Oh and the cutest faces she makes when she is mad. She puts on a good show!
Everything is going really good. Nothing really new. I am loving the homemaker life! We are getting things put together us three girls that are home all day. We are finally getting somewhat of a daily routine down. YaY!
I do have to put a shout out to my wonderful and amazing hubby! He is so so so good to us and he is such a hardworker and will do anything for his girl! We seriously love him so much and are so grateful for everything little thing he does for us. We seem to always look over the little thing and i am so thankful to have him in our lives! He keeps me positive and always working to try and be the best mom and wife that i can possibly be! I love you Brad!

Update and pictures

2008-11-21T12:34:00.000-08:00

Sleepy baby Breklyn
Oh i love her
Blue eyes open
Sweetest face
hiding from hal's kisses
Billi lights and sunshine
Billi lights
Billi lights
On our way home from the hospital

So everything is going good in our home! We have an extremely good baby that enjoys her sleep! When we brought her home she was sleeping up to 6 and 7 hours until waking up to eat. So i talked to the dr and he said that i have to start waking her up every 3 hours so she will grow because she is so tiny. Trust me Hallie never slept, so this is so new to me! During the day i wake up about every 3 to 4 hours for a feeding and at night i am up 1 maybe 2 times with her. She is such a sweet heart i just cant get enough of her.
She had to be under the billi lights for 2 days. When we left the hospital her jaundice was at a 9 and the next day it was at a 16.4. Ouch! Being told that your baby has to be under the lights and having the baby blues.....not the excitement i look forward to everyday! But we are past those days....thank goodness.
I take Breklyn in on monday for her 2 week check up.............i know she is almost 2 weeks old! Time goes by so fast! So i will post again then and give the update from the dr.
Hope you enjoy the pictures....but trust me she is much cuter in person!

Oh so helpful Hallie!

2008-11-21T12:21:00.000-08:00

I just needed to say that my little Hallie has been such a helpful hand with her new little sister. She has been suprisingly good with her. She just always wants to know where she is and she wants to kiss her. Oh and hold her of course! I was a little worried before i had her that we would have trouble, but we have come out pretty good. I love my Hallie so much. She is seriously such a sweet girl and has the funnest personality that any one could ask for. She is so funny, i seriously could just sit and watch her all day and probably never stop laughing!

Hallie i love you so much!
Love, Mommy!

Our Newest Addition

2008-11-15T08:36:00.001-08:00

Breklyn Paige Ward
5lbs 13oz 18inches
Born: November 9, 2008
at 11:04 pm

Here is our the newest beauty that has joined our family. She is my little itty bitty. She is such a good baby, we are loving her so much!
This is a picture i took of her laying in her light bed! (French Fry warmer) She had jaundice pretty bad, so she was under the lights for 2 days. It was so sad, but she actually came to like the warmness of it. She is a good sleeper, which is such a blessing in our family since her older sister which is now 2 and a half still sometimes wakes up at night!
Labor was good. She was born on my first push! I know i am making it sound really easy, but it really was!

Anyways, i will post some more pictures later. Just thought i would show her off for a minute!

Girls Day!

2008-11-07T12:38:00.000-08:00

Well since my adventure has started that i was put on bed rest, Hallie and i have just couched out at home. Most days, we dont shower until like 5 at night, we usually are wearing pj's and i usually dont do my hair or make up. So i thought since today we, actually got around doing our hair and that we actually got dressed i should take a picture of it! Man we are hott! Ok hallie is cute, but me....i am just fat and prego!
The other adventure we have had while me being home so much, is the wonderful....wait, wait...we need a drum roll....................................
......................................................................................................................POTTY TRAINING! Believe me its been one roller coaster for the both of us! She is not all the way potty trained, but she is getting better! She has actually stayed dry all morning! Wahoo!
Other then us being ugly and lazy and going through many loads of laundry...we are still good! No baby yet though! I wish she was here already, but she is hangin on.

Hollywood!

2008-11-03T06:32:00.000-08:00

I just came across these pictures and i think that they are so cute so i thought i would share them!

Mommy, me dishes!

2008-11-03T06:27:00.000-08:00

So Hallie's new little thing she is always wanting to help me with is the dishes. When i was younger my grandma made me these little aprons to help my mom do the dishes with. The other day at my moms house i came across them and hallie loves them! She is so funny, it usually ends up just being a huge mess of water all over the place, but heck....water doesnt hurt anything right! This is one thing i usually let her get away with making a huge mess with. Hallie will most of the time just pour one glass of water into the next, its usually just back and forth. I must admit it is kinda fun having a little friend while doing the wonderful and dreaded dishes everyday!

Anyone out there??

2008-11-02T08:28:00.000-08:00

I just want to know if anyone is even reading my blog? If so please comment me and leave me your email address so i can add you. If no one is reading this, i might just do away with it!

Thanks!

HALLOWEEN 2008

2008-11-02T08:21:00.000-08:00

This is how Hallie hair looked for her costume! Her little witch hat wouldnt stay on so i tried something new! Her hair is finally starting to grow a little!

My little grumpy WITCH!

Isnt she so cute! I was not going to atempt the face painting thing. It would have been everywhere!

This Halloween was kinda a drag for us! Since mommy being on bedrest and all, Hallie and i just hung out all day at home. When dad got home we decided to get her ready and to go see the grandmas. Then we went to trunk or treat at our chruch. Then we headed back to my mom' s so daddy could take hallie trick or treating with her cousins while mommy rested!
Hopefully next year i can join in all the fun and i will have something more exciting to post on it!

Hope everyone had a good one!

Baby Update

2008-11-02T08:11:00.001-08:00

Well, here is the latest of the little one growin inside! Wednesday night i went into preterm labor! Yay for me! Ok not really. I started having contractions that were timeable around 6:30p.m. and so i went and layed around to see if they would ease up a little bit. Well two hours later they were getting harder and harder and were about 8 minutes apart. So, we came home and by 9:30 they were getting about 5 minutes apart. We called the dr and they said to try a few things what we had already tried to see if they would go away. Well they just kept getting stronger. By 10:00, i said lets go! We got to the hospital and got me in a room and were checking the baby and i had only efaced like 20 % more then what i was the monday before. So they said, well lets check in an hour and see if you have progressed. If not you will be sent home. So of course an hour later with contractions 3 minutes apart, i didnt change! Crap! So they gave me the wonderful "shaky" shot to stop my labor and sent me home. So now here i am on bedrest at my house, miserable, still contractioning and doing everything possible to keep here in until atleast the 10th! Which puts me at 37 weeks!

Wish me luck, we will let you know when she is here and put up some pictures!

32 Weeks and Counting and the latest!

2008-10-06T07:41:00.000-07:00

My little nun!

Always sticking her tongue out!

Her hair is finally somewhat long enough to do piggy tails!

This is kinda an updated baby bump picture, it was my 6 month mark probably, not really sure!

Daddy took the day off to go hunting, so when he was finished, hallie and Brad went and helped papa on the farm move the cows!

My cute little Hallie bug, she loves riding her bike in our house with her sunglasses and hat on. She is seriously such a hoot!

Hallie and her cousin Dawson showing off there Home Depot Kids shop Aprons. So cute!

Look at this sleeping BEAUTY! She is so precious, i love her so much!

So i am now 32 weeks along and ready to be 40 weeks and have this little baby in my arms. This has to be one of the easiest pregnancy's but come on now....but you know how you just get to that point when its dragging on and you have nothing ready for this baby to come! I seriously have so much stuff to do with the nursery and organizing things that i think i just keep telling myself i have tons of time left but in all reality, its coming pretty dang soon! This baby could come at any time.

So, this past weekend was a good one, not only that conference was really good, but Brad's brother from american fork came up and spent the weekend. It is always so fun when the whole family comes and hangs out! Brad's brother mike took hallie to Home Depot on saturday morning to a work shop where they can build something and they got her this really cute apron. She looked so cute in it! She ran around in it most the morning. She loves her cousins so much! The picture of her sleeping is of her having her nap, she was so tired from playing so hard.

So this is about the most exciting news in our boring life!
Until next time!

OOOPPS!!!

2008-09-25T07:10:00.000-07:00

So i just needed to make a quick post, on my tag post, i just did it the fast way and copy and pasted. Well little did i know i forgot to change one answer all the way, so i accidently have Jena's husband as my answer! OOPPS! Sorry Jena!
So here is my real answer

Who is smarter: I would say that Brad is. I am a little on the slow side.

2 posts in one day... i am doing good!

2008-09-24T17:56:00.001-07:00

So i just thought that i should post something, i dont know about what...but i have a blog so i guess i should use it.
Lets see...i am getting really big! I am on the COUNT DOWN!!! Yay! We got 9 weeks left until we get to see our little girl! (Lets hope she comes out a girl!) I dont know what my problem is, but i still keep having dreams that i am having a boy! I seriously just cant convince myself that i am having a girl. I am just weird or what!
Nothing is really new in our lives. We are just getting ready for this baby. Brad is still working hard at his job and seems to still like it. I am counting down the days of how many i still have to go to work at Coke. I am not exactly loving it right now. Long Story i will not bore anyone with.
My little Hallie, lets be honest...she seriously is the cutest and the best little girl that any mother could ever ask for! I just lover her so much!
So yeah, our lives are not really that exciting, i am sorry. Hopefully when this new little one comes i will have lots of good stories to tell!

2008-09-01T19:18:00.000-07:00

So, i know i have been a major slacker lately at this whole blogging thing, so i apologize to anyone that takes the time to look at my blog. I am not even sure what i should blog about this time, but i will do my best.
Everything is going well with our family. Our little girl is growing up so much and is copping such a bossy attitude with her mother! She is so funny and is growing up so fast! Our other little baby bean is growing, making mommy look huge! I am 27 weeks along and i look about 20 months along! We are getting so excited to see what she is going to look like! I really am just hoping that she still comes out a girl! I dont think i was this worried about it with Hallie, maybe its just because i really want another little girl and because Brad and I cannot agree on any names! Hopefully she wont go nameless for to long after she is born.
Work is going well for the both of us. I am not planning on going back to Coke after i have the baby, i will just find something part time somewhere. Brad is still really liking his job at Duc Works. He has been working some long hours lately though because they are so busy, but i guess i cant complain, because it could be worse and they could have no work at all for him. He is such a hard worker and is such a wonderful father. He does so much for our little family. I am so grateful to have him in my life. I love him so much and i know Hallie loves him so very much too. She is such a daddy's girl and i love watching them together.
I dont have any recent pictures downloaded on the computer, but i will get some and get some posted. Hallie is changing so much everyday!
OH and guess what.....i am now blonde! I know its such a shocker, you should have seen some of my family and friends faces, wow, they were like " Wow your blonde!" Yeah i think i was have a mid life crisis or something!

Newsers!!!

2008-04-29T20:32:00.000-07:00

So i decided now that i really need to update a little bit on Hallie. Here are some recent events that we have experienced with her. She is just so funny!

The other day Brad, Hallie and I needed to go get some groceries so we went into lee's and of course Hallie just takes off. So i am like ok, lets try the little shopper thing. Well it was Crazy!!! She was on a mad dash and she never watches where she is going so she was almost running people off the aisles and knocking things down. Lets just say we have not tried this again since!

The other night, Brad and I are watching one of our reality shows and Hallie kept putting this bucket on her head and walking around. She looked so stinking cute in it and is so funny. She just kept saying Hi momma and Hi Dada! She is a hoot!

Now that Brad gets off at 3:30 everyday, he goes and gets Hallie and takes her to go feed the cows on grandpas farm. Hallie loves the cows. I swear we take a ride to the farm at least once a day so she can see them. One day when they were up feeding, one of the calf's were out so Hallie decided to go after it. She started chasing after this calf. She is not scared of anything. She is our little cow girl!!!

Baby Bean....

2008-04-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

Baby Bean

So i have been really bad at blogging lately! Ugh, sorry Jena. I am just not really that quite sure on what to blog about. The rumor is true though, Brad and I are expecting our number 2! Oh, but there is only ONE baby! Wahoo, i think i would go crazy if there were two. Wow i know everyone is shoked, ok probably not. I went to the dr today and i am 9 weeks and 2 days. The baby looks really good and the heart beat sounds really good. That was such a relief. We are really excited. Hallie doesnt really understand yet. We try to tell her that mommy has a baby growing in her tummy but she just says "NO" when we talk about it. I think its going to be quite an adjustment. She is already jealous if Brad and I even hold hands, let a lone me holding another baby. Lets just hope things go ok. Wish me luck!

Well the bottle is no more! The other day i woke up and decided this was going to be the day that the b-o-t-t-l-e was going in the garbage. I asked Hallie if she wanted to throw it away and she just kept saying No. So i said ok, so i took her by the hand and we walked over to the garbage and we threw it in there. She kinda just stood there and looked at it for a few minutes then walked away like no big deal. That night she did suprisingly good, she cried a little bit but i just told her that we threw it in the garbage and that its all gone. Wow but the difference it has made is so crazy. As many as you know, Hallie was an extemely hard baby when she was first born and she never really has slept through the night. Well she finally is starting too! Yahoo...almost 2 years later of no sleep! Also i dont have to deal with the soaking wet everything in the morning either. Now if we can just get rid of her other love, the nasty, addicting binky!! Ugh i hate that thing! But i could not be the mean mother and take both of her true love's away at the same time. So she still has it!!!

On the other news in our life. Brad has started his new job at Duc Works and is really enjoying it. The hours are so much better and work out better for the both of us! I am still working at my job, and of course its getting warmer outside so we are getting a lot busier. Yay for me to deal with angry customers that need there Diet Coke! Oh well, some people just have different types of addictions i guess.

Yum!

Peanut Butter, Chocolate Vanilla Wafers

So i just found this resiept and thought i would give it a try. They looked interesting, but they are actually really good. All you do is take Vanilla Wafers, spread peanut butter in the middle and then dip them in chocolate. Hallie is loving them!

Silly Girl!!!

2008-03-24T20:29:00.001-07:00

So this morning Hallie and i were playing in the kitchen and the first thing Hallie does as soon as she gets up is run to the fridge. I have no idea why she enjoys sitting inside the fridge so much but seriously she will just sit in there forever! She makes me laugh so hard. She is so funny. She can always brighten my day!

Merry Christmas Mom and Dad!

2008-03-24T20:21:00.001-07:00

So on saturday night Brad, my mom and dad went down to the Jazz Game. My mom has never been to a Jazz game before. So for Chistmas, I got them us and them some tickets. These ticket came with a Delicious dinner before and then free nacho's and popcorn during half time. It was a pretty good game. We were on row 24. So we could see the floor pretty good. It was fun to hang out with my parents. It was a good double date!

!!!!!!!!YEEEHHAAAAA!!!!!!!

2008-03-16T19:49:00.000-07:00

So i just had to show everyone these adorable pictures. We were visting Brad's Sister lori and her family tonight and Hallie majorley adores her boys Colten and Dawson. They were running around and all of a sudden Hallie come in to the room laughing, looking like this so we had to take a picture! ( Sorry they are so dark!)

We love our little COWGIRL!!!!

Oh how i just love her!!!!

2008-03-15T09:46:00.000-07:00

She is just so cute!
The cutest smile ever!

So, I wanted to take a minute and just say how much i just love my little Hallie bug! She is so special to me! She seriously has the cutest and funnest personality ever. She is so funny to listen and watch. She is the type that you could sit and watch for hours and she would keep you so entertained by the little things she does and says. I cant believe that she is almost 2 years old. The past two years have been so amazing. She has been a true blessing to Brad and I. She brings us so much joy.
In these pitures, i was scrubbing the bath tub and i got in to scrub the walls, and i turned around cause she kept yelling, Momma Momma. She had some how with out using her stool, got up on the toilet and was just sitting there laughing. It was so funny. She always has to be the center of attention. (She gets that from Brad for sure) By the end of these pictures she was laughing so hard she was leaning back holding her belly. She is so funny.
I love her so much!!!!!

LIFE.....

2008-03-13T18:11:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Hallie
Cutest Smile

So here is the story of my life. Work, Work, Work!!!! Hating it! I never thought that i would be so happy when friday comes rolling around! Ok, Enough of complaining!

This blog is mainly for the cutest person out there....my blog saver....Jena! Girl, what would i do with out you?

So over the past few months, life has been kinda crazy. It has been really good but just crazy. Brad and I both had birthdays....i was happy to be older and brad was wishing he was younger. I finally turned 22. Remember back in the day when you always wanted to grow up and turn 18 or 21, well i finally made it to 22. And the best part of it....i am still alive! My mom didnt kill from all the hell i caused her. So thats a good thing! My birthday kinda was over looked this year...which is ok. Brad got layed off from work the day before, so we were mainly focusing on that speed bump in life. But we are holding strong and taking each day as it comes. Brad is just working for his brother in law doing some welding that he needs done for right now, and hopefully a good job will come our way soon.
Hallie is getting so big. She is now 20 months old. She is so independent, and so head strong. If she does not like something your doing or something you say...oh boy you better watch out cause she will let you know how it is. She is talking so good, still its kinda her own german, but she is starting to make out words now. So hallie is very pigeon toed right. Brad and I have been just watchin it to see if it would correct itself. Our families have been pretty worried about it to so we took her to a specialist today and only good news came from it. Its her hips that are not fully matured. I know that does not really sound like good news, but really it is because she does not have to wear a brace or anything. The dr said it should correct itself and she should be ok by atleast age 10. So lets hope that everything works out! But you gotta love the turned in toes!!

So here goes attempt number 2.....

2008-02-12T20:56:00.000-08:00

Ha Ha...so what can i say, i am really forgetful!!! So i have this wonderful friend by the name of Jena that is really worried about my blogging status because obviously i cant keep up with it.

Whoops! So here i go again...hopefully i will be able to remember this one this time. So please stick with me i will get this worked out!
