EASTER

Here are some pics from our Easter Sunday.

(ps this is Lindsey's boyfriend Brody reading to Naya)

Naya had fun posing for the camera

Kai helped Halle find her basket.

Aren't Lisa's kids adorable, I just love them!

Thanks for the fabulous dinner and cute Easter basket Grandma! We love you!

Birthday wishes and Easter egg dreams . . .

(I just thought this picture was cute, and she has baby cleavage)

Happy Birthday Pappa Wayne. Russ's dad also has his birthday in March, the 19th. We had everyone over for pizza and cake. I made a cake, but I think I burned it. Russ's dad was so nice and said that was how he liked it. Oh, I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents in law! It was so fun to have everyone over.

here is Pappa with all his grandchildren

On Thursday we went to my mom's house to decorate eggs. Halle is still too young to get into it, but I think I was into it enough for both of us! Lani and Lisa were there too with Lisa's adorable kids. I love spending time with family! And, I love this time of year, when the weather changes and you can go outside without a coat on.

YAY spring!

Happy Belated Birthday DAD!!!

My Dad's Birthday was on the 13th, and I just wanted to let him know how much I love him and how much I appreciate everything he has done, does and I know will continue to do for me. He really is one of my best friends, and is one of the best people to go to when you have a problem you need help with. He never judges, and he has this amazing way of making you figure out what it is you should do. I love you pops! Not to mention all of the incredibly fun things I get to do with him . . . boating, 4-wheeling, jet skiing, snowmobiling . . .

Scootin'

Halle can't crawl, yet, but she is figuring out how to move around. I placed her on the blanket while I was being Suzy-Homemaker making cookies. I watched her scoot head first under our second hand coffee table. It was pretty cute, oh and I know she is wearing the same pajama's she was wearing in the last pictures, but those are the best PJ's, they fit her long body and are nice and warm. I am still ragin' hormones so I am always hot, I just figure I should leave her in her warm PJ's so I don't have to turn the heat up too much. And I am just lazy. As long as they are clean right?



And this, This is my latest project.

Rollin'

This morning Halle and I were playing with some toys on a blanket. I left to use the bathroom, and came back, not a minute later and she was gone! Well she wasn't where I had left her, she had rolled like eight feet. She has never done that before, she has only rolled over from front to back and back to front. I took some pictures, while I was taking one she rolled again! Oh man I gotta get my house baby proofed!

So that is Halle rolling out of the picture, she started out next to that red thing and then a minute later this is where she was. Crazy girl!

She is so proud of herself!

I need a new book.

So I just finished the Twighlight series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I need a new book. Does anyone have any suggestions?

David Archuleta: Imagine

Even if you don't watch American Idol, I recommend watching this performance of Imagine. It's quite moving.

"Charlie Bit Me"

I am sorry if you have already seen this, but I saw it and had to put it on my blog for all of you who have not seen it. I LOVE IT!!!

Fun Word Friday

Chantilly Lace
I got to use these words in real life, it made me smile, so I hope it does the same for you.

Bath Time and Sippin' Water

Baby Blessing

We finally blessed Halle last Sunday. Not yesterday, the one before, yes when we had the huge storm! We did it at our house, and just invited family. I want to thank everyone for coming and daring the weather. It was so snowy our ward almost canceled church!

I also want to thank Denille, Russ's mom, for making Halle's beautiful blessing dress. It was absolutely gorgeous! Even down to the lace trim on the slip! Denille you are amazing! Thanks to everyone for bringing food, chairs, treats, but mostly for bringing yourself.

Russ did an awesome job! The blessing was very touching, and the words that stand out to me are, "peace, joy and goodness." He is a great Dad, and Halle and I are very lucky to have him in our lives! Anyway it was so fun to have everyone over, here are some pictures.





p.s. Halle was so tired, she didn't make a peep during the blessing, but afterward she cried the whole time. :(

I think I live in the North Pole!

I don't think me just telling you how snowy it is where I live can do it justice, so I have some pictures. I have pictures from last Sunday, which I thought were crazy, and then I took some yesterday which were even crazier! We love it though, it isn't fake winter, it is real!

this is looking out our front porch last week.

This is the same view this week.

This is out the back door last week.

This is out the back door this week!

This is last week, we have garbage pick up on monday morning, so we put our garbage cans out sunday night. This is what they looked like in the morning.

President Hinckley Tribute

My cute husband has given president Hinckley a wonderful tribute by putting all of Pres. Hinckley's talks from General Conference, while he was the prophet, on his blog. So if you would like to check them out all in one place, you can click here.

Eat. Rice. Good.

I didn't want to go to sleep. I cried and cried. Mom then said to dad "I think she might be hungry and can't get enough milk right now." Bring on the "real food."

Stand up, Stand up, Stand up and take a bow...

It's all coming back to me now . . .

So my dearest Halle can pull her binky out, no biggy except for when we are in the car and she is tired, that is the only time she can get cranky. My tried and true method of calming her is singing to her. The Christmas songs were so great because i knew the words, and they were pretty soothing. The other day we were almost home and Halle pulled her binky out, started getting fussy and so i turned the radio dial to find something i could sing along with. then i heard it, Celine Deon's ("Salon Dalon" - for you laura)"It's all coming back to me now." Incredible rocking out tune

I was totally rocking out, and i am not sure if my what calms Halle is my voice or if she is trying to fall asleep so she can't hear me? but it works every time.

I wanted to blog about it because it made me think about my highschool girls and the good times we had rockin' out to Celine Deon!
