BellyButton!!!

From this picture you would never guess that this little girl was sick! I took he into the doctor to get her checked because I am a

worry-wart mom! As she was sitting in the chair I asked her, Halle where is your belly button? She looked at the bottom of her shirt, then at me, then back down and I slowly lifted her shirt then she pointed at it! I have so many proud moments, and that was one of the cutest! She is such a good little girl!

(Side note: Dont judge her outfit! With her being sick I grab whatever I knew would keep her warm and was the fastest to get too! She usually looks cute I promise!)

Lately

Playin at the park!

We were so fortunate to be able to go with our dear friends who we call family to Hilton Head, SC. We had so much fun, we couldnt even pull Halle away from the beach. She would point at the beach from our balcony and say MO....MO...(which means more!!)

She just wanted to grab him!

This was her first sucker, thanks to her G-Gma Claudia!

It's hard to believe that in a couple months Greg and I have been married for 5 YEARS! 5 wonderful years!

And after 5 years we have the most beautiful girl in the world to show for it!
She loves sunglasses, but she is so independent that she doesnt let her momma help her with anything! sometimes I am really happy that she wants to do everything on her own, but sometimes I am so sad because I want to be holding her tiny body feeding her again!

This was on our way to Boise, to see Aunt Shanny! Our flight was delayed, but thank goodness for Aunt Devan!

Our family flew off of the cyber radar for a bit. It is mostly becuase our little girl is SO FAST and I cannot keep up. When she sleeps I collapse. Greg is busy as a bee, and so amazing at providing for our family. I love him, he is a wonderful husband and excellent father!

7lb 40z all the way to 21 lbs 6 oz!

Our little sunshine is one years old! And we love her soooo much, there are so many things that have happened in the past year and we feel so lucky to have our beautiful baby to experience all of it! Even though she doesn't know where she is half of the time, she still has a big smile!!

Her personality is contageous, she is so big and grown up!

She was crawling at 7 months and walking a couple weeks before her big #1!

I am not really sure why she is sitting in this picture! So content, because if you know Halle you know that she cannot sit still! She is always running and running, her parents can hardly keep up! All I can say is, it is a good thing I ran in Cross Country, and had the on-the-go parents that I did!

I know that in this picture she looks mad, but once again Devan captured her and me for that matter! I love her thru the thick and the thin, and I will give her kisses even when she is mad and she doesnt want them!

Our little girl is....everything!

Thanks Dev!

Our baby girl

Its hard to believe that she was just this small, not to long ago!


Her aunt loves her and captures all of our beautiful and precious moments!




Devan got some new equipment and she wanted to try it out on Halle! Of coarse I said yes!
The photo shoot was going ok, until Halle just wanted to play!

Even though this face is sooo sad, I can't hep but LOVE it! She is so cute even when she is mad!

I know that I haven't been around, and that is mostly because we are busy once again. Greg has been working really hard to provide for our family and our newest adventure is to hopefully buy a house during the summer! Karadie and Paul have graciously opened their beautiful home to us until we leave again for the summer to...... Wisconsin again! Greg's manager decided on monday that going back to Wisconsin will be the best for their office! We are very excited. So instead of unpacking and repacking our stuff we are staying at our family's house! (Karadie is a saint!) Anyways after looking at the update on everyone's blog, I got to thinking about how grateful I am for my family, for their health and happiness. Halle is now 9 months old, almost 10 months, I can't believe how fast the last couple months have gone! She is attempting to walk, sooo hard and when she is determined to do something she does it, so any day! She just had her appointment not to long ago and like I already knew the doctor said she is beautiful! And in the fifty percentile for height and weight and head circumference.

Veterans Day

Today I got on Facebook, and many people had put in their status that they were thankful for the veterans. I thought to myself how ungrateful I was, because when I woke up it seemed like... just another day. Then I checked my email and received a thoughtful one from my mom with a link to a movie about veterans.

I just thought I would give my thanks publicly to all the veterans that have sacrificed so much for me and for my family. I have always grown up with brave men and women around me that have protected my dear country. One thing I have also always had is my parents teaching me to respect those men and women.

One that is very close to my heart... My Grandpa (Frog) Always, he was there for me growing up, always he was hugging me, giving me kisses, spoiling me, and especially teaching me to be respectful. I am so grateful for my grandpa, when I hold my beautiful baby girl, when I kiss her goodnight and put her in her crib, I need not think about if she is safe or not, because my grandpa and valiant men like him have fought to keep her safe. Thank you Grandpa.
It's interesting, if you know a soldier you feel a closeness and sense of bravery, you feel patriotic and strong. My Grandpa is a perfect example of patriotism and I hope he knows how much I Love him and how Thankful I am for the Many sacrifices he put forward so his posterity would live in freedom.

I love you Grandpa Frog.

So even though I am just one person, I am one that chooses not to listen to the ignorance and negativity of the media, I respect and honor all men and women who serve my country.

Something to look foward to....

Now that I am 24 I realize that soon I will be old.... not really I think I am still young, but it does make me sit back and contemplate the next couple years and the many changes that will happen. Like when Halle enters kindergarten, I will be almost 30!

And while I see myself getting older I think about where I have came from, and it makes me excited because.....

I will look like this. Yes my mother looks like my sister, in fact she is cuter and more in style than I am! You can tell Halle loves her sooo much to!

Devan is Amazing

Daddy makes everything so fun!

My Girl forever and for always!

She is a gorgeous little girl!

This is the funniest face ever!

Our Family!

She is a Daddy's girl, and a mommy's girl!

We wanted to get some pictures of Halle since she is 6 months! (A big milestone as you know) So my ever so talented sister once again captured our sweet baby so we can always rememeber her!
