Let It Snow!

Sorry it has been so long since the last blog. I don't know where the time has gone or even what I've been doing to excuse my laziness. I feel like I have been busy though and it will only get worse during Christmas! It has snowed two weekends in a row here and the first weekend I took Hallie out on our porch and showed her the snow. She loved it and even cried when we had to go inside!


We hope that you all have a great Holiday season! I will try harder to blog.... but not promises!

Most Thankful For...

We have a TON to be thankful for, but can you guess what we are most thankful for?
We'll give you some clues... She loves shoes (a real girly girl)!
She loves her mom...
AND her dad!!!!

She gets her way with her cute looks...

And she loves going on walks!
She loves playing with balls, toys, friends, and lots more!You guessed it, we are most thankful for Hallie!!! How could we not be? Look at her!!! What a cutie! We really do have a lot to be thankful for including each of you! Thanks for all you do for us! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Her Favorite Spot

Magic got this great idea of taking the shelf out of the little dresser door and clearing it out so that Hallie could play inside it. She LOVES it. She is just the right size for it and just loves hiding in there.
She was playing in there forever that night, and now we can't go into her room without her playing in there. She has also started putting toys in there and closing the door on them. Then she will open it and be so surprised that the toy is in there... like she didn't just put it in there.
At first we had to close the door for her...
then we pulled out the handy dandy duck tape and attached it to the inside of the door so she could close it herself.

Halloween

Sorry that I am a few days late on this. We had a really fun Halloween and Hallie could not have been more cute! She really liked the whole idea of Trick-or-Treating. By the end of it, her bucket was dragging because it was too heavy, but you COULD NOT take it from her. It was really cute when she finally got it and would take the candy from the people and put it in her bucket. It was a lot of fun and I am really glad that we took her out! First time Trick-or-Treating was a success!

Pumpkins

We decided that with a 15 month old that we would paint pumkins instead of carving pumpkins... what were we thinking? She had paint everywhere!!!
She was loving life, but had to take a bath right after! She was only entertained for a little while though, so she didn't even paint on her pumpkin.

The blue one is "Hallie's", but Magic did the painting and then I did the lettering. Just in case you can't read it, it says Happy "Hallie"ween. It looks a little more like an easter egg than a pumpkin, but that's ok! The other one is mine and Magic's, but Magic was giving Hallie a bath... so that one is mine!

Dance, Dance, Dance!!!

I have never tryed to put a video on here before, so if it doesn't work then I am sorry! She was so cute the other night before we put her to bed! She was just dancing and dancing. She didn't realize that I was recording her until the very end... as you will see! Enjoy!

One Cute Girl

I am very sorry that I haven't updated this for a while! Our computer has been really dumb and I haven't been able to get onto the internet for more than a few minutes. So hopefully this works the first time! Enjoy the pictures!

The Magic Fort

Well, I finished Eclips (the third book in the Twilight series and my favorite so far), so life returns to normal. Back to being a mom and wife!

Yesterday, Magic decided to make a fort for Hallie. We had never made one for her before and she LOVED it!!! It was literally the coolest fort I had ever seen! It was really fun for all of us to play in together!

We had to teach Hallie that she had to crawl in the fort or her head would hit the blankets. She only crawled half the time though.

This was the entrance and the inside of the Fort. The Love Sacs really made a cool addition to the fort!

This was the BIG part of the tent! it was under the desk and couch! It really was SO fun!

Just Playing!

The other night Hallie just wanted to sit on the couch with dad. She is usually all over the place, but she was content to sit with dad. I couldn't help but to get the camera out! Man... I'm really turning into a bloger now, huh?

Patty Cakes!

We've been working on Hallie folding her arms for prayer!

She doesn't look like she was having a ton of fun with dad, but I PROMISE she was!

Karaoke Revolution

Tonight our friends, Lorin and Paige & daughter Polly, came over. We were looking for something fun to do, so we played Karaoke Revolution. It is an awesome game and we highly recomend it to anyone! Even if you think that you can't sing... you will still love it! Here are some pictures of the fun night!

~Here are Polly and Hallie just chillin' in the bean bag. What cuties!

~Us Girls were really getting into it, but it payed off! We both recieved perfect scores! (We are just that good)

~The Guys tore it up! Their songs both went Platinum!

~And the night wouldn't have been complete without the little girls showing off their skills too!

~All of us (and I mean all of us) had a blast tonight!

There is an open invitation to anyone who would like to play! Just let us know and we'll set it up!

Hallie Jennifer

Hallie is our 14 month old. She is so cute and we are so lucky to have her! She likes so many things right now, but her favorite is her dad. In the morning, if dad is still there when she gets up, she will have nothing to do with mom! She follows dad around and defiantly delays him leaving. If she notices that he is leaving, she will cry for him! It is really cute to have such a daddy's girl! It is also really nice to have a break when he gets home too because she is so excited to have someone else to play with other than mom.


She enjoys reading books, playing with toys and friends (not sharing toys with friends though), copying people, pushing things (anything), playing on the stairs (she's fallen down them about 4 times already... you'd think she would learn), and watching Little Einsteins. She is a really good eater too! She loves bananas, hot dogs, grilled cheese, pb & j's, and Go-Garts! She is walking EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING!!!

She is so entertaining!!! Magic and I watch her perform for hours without getting tiered! She is so great and a huge blessing in our lives! We wouldn't be the people we are today without her!
