HaPPy 2nd BiRtHdAy HaLLe!!!

HaPPy 2nd BiRtHdAy to my SwEEt little HaLLe!!!

I can't believe it was 2 yrs. ago that this sweet little girl joined our family!
I often wonder what our lives would be like without her...
she has definitely been a blessing to our family!

She has brought so much peace to our home.

more smiles,


more laughter!

Here is my baby! 2 yrs. old!

She was the best present I could ever get... 3 days before my birthday when she was born!
We will celebrate together for the rest of our lives!


She loves to "jump" and always wants to go outside!

We all love her to PIECES!!!

She will stop doing anything to pose for a picture!
(Even opening a present!)

She loves her new princess shoes!

She has a few to choose from...

She loves her aunt Ish ish!
(and can even say her name!)

She couldn't wait to get in her stroller that daddy was putting together for her. She thought it was for her, but it was really for her dollies!

With her favorite Toy Story characters!!!
Oh, does she love them!

With her favorite brothers and sister!
Oh does she love them too!

We went swimming for her birthday, she got her new baby that swims too! She was a little afraid to let go of her in the water and actually let her swim, I think she thought she would never come back! She held on tight to her the whole time!

Cute kiddos!

She was pooped at the end of swimming and couldn't quite stay awake!

Before she fell asleep!

Look at those cute toes!
I could just eat em!

This was Halle at the end of the night! She was too tired to stay awake any longer! She crashed right in my arms and I got to rock her to sleep! It was the perfect ending to our day!
I just love this girl and her little personality! She fits perfectly into our family!
Our puzzle is complete!

2 things I love about my 2 yr. old

1. she lets me do her hair
2. she is so smart...seriously!

Halle started talking so much while we were on our trip! We made a list of all the words she says...
I will update later!
Off to St. George we go! I just had to get this post done before we left! :)

Snow Springs Elementary
Lehi, UT

This was the first/last year that my kids got to go to the same school together! I am so thankful that Zach, Brinley, and Boston were able to go to school all together for 1 year! Zach started 2nd grade at this school and has always looked out for his little sister! This year he got to look out for Boston too! Now he is moving on to Middle School, I can hardly believe it! Now Brinley will be able to look out for her little brother! This year their classrooms were right across the hall from each other, which was so nice with Boston being in kindergarten! I think it was a comfort for him to know that his big sister was always "right there" if he ever needed anything! I wish I could keep my kids at the same school FOREVER!!! I always wanted to go to school with my older brother and missed him by 1 year! I envy those siblings that get to go to school together! I'm sure if I would have been able to, I wouldn't have thought it was that great! I am excited for Zach to move on, but I know my kids will miss him!!!

I always have to get a picture of the kids on the first and last day of school! My, look how they have changed...

Boston~kindergarten

Brinley~3rd grade

Zach~6th grade

This is Zach at NOVA graduation!!! He is almost as big as those 2 policemen!!!
