She Speaks!

I know I know, she is too young to talk, but she really does think she is already! I coo with her all day long and she laughs and smiles when I speak her language! She is so cute, this video isn't the best but it's what I have caught so far! She is not a fan of the video camera, she likes my undivided attention!

Six Flags

Greg's office won a challenge, so they won a trip to Six Flags!! It was a lot of fun to go and hang out. Most of you that know me know that I am anything but a thrill seeker! But I do enjoy watching, when I lived in California when I was younger, one of my favorite memories was going to Disneyland with my grandparents (thank you grandma and grandpa!) It was fun to remember those times, and be in that atmosphere again. Greg had an awesome time riding the roller coasters, he is one of those crazy guys that loves theme parks! I can't wait until next summer when I get to take Halle and Greg to Disneyland!

These were the days

Lately I have thought if the many things that I miss. Rock Creek, I basically grew up there, and it will always hold a sweet place in my heart!

Shanny Butt, she is on a mission right now and there is nothing I want to do more than talk to her on the phone, at least! We were always in trouble (or at least I was because she blamed everything on me!) If you know Shannon, once she is in your life, she is contagious! You need her smiling face all the time!

Our crazy family time, it's amazing while you are growing up how often you are trying to get away from your family, and then you move away and you spend the rest of your life trying to get back together with them! My family is amazing and I am so thankful that my mom fostered the relationships between my siblings! I love them, all of them!

I miss this Gal!

I know that you look at this a lot (karadie) and I just wanted you to know that I miss you! We had some good times, and I know that we have a lot more fun times to go! I feel so blessed to have you in my life and I consider you a sister! It's funny I used to explain the relation between us, "greg's brothers wife..." but now I just say my sister! We have seen each other through the good and the bad, and the ugly (running!) Even though I miss you so much you are constantly in my stories and thoughts! Thank you for always being there for me, I love you!

Flop Off

Greg's office decided to have a belly flop contest, and it was very amusing! Greg ended up tying for second place! That's my baby!

Summer Fest

One of our favorite things is to be outside! (well me at least I am teaching Halle to love it as well!) There is a park really close to me and they have a lot of concerts there, so we like to go and sit on the lawn and relax! Peyton, Brooke and Travis's little girl is just a bundle of happiness! She is so happy all the time, and such a good sport! On this particular time we were spinning around and she loved it!

Father's Day

This is Greg opening his gifts! Halle wasn't very into it, she just thought like normal we were there to amuse her!

This is Halle playing Hide and go seek with her dress, we are working on her not lifting up her dress.

We had a fantastic Father's day, it was so nice to hang out with Greg (like every Sunday!) Halle and I spent the whole day on Saturday getting ready for Father's day. We cleaned the house and baked cookies, and finished Greg's present! When I was writing in Greg's card I was trying to trace Halle's feet, she wouldn't sit still! I looked at her and said "Halle, cooperate." She looked at me and gave me the biggest smile and then started giggling.

In the end we made Greg a book on shutterfly and a framed impression of Halle's feet. He told me when I gave him that gift and I quote... "It's better than my car!" (meaning the 68 charger) I said what! That's a lot easier! He is so sweet, and such a wonderful Dad!
