Yikes!

You gotta love this hair! Halley was being so funny this night. I took a couple videos, but none of them are worth posting. She was a mess after dinner so I had to wash her hair out and everything.This is how she looked! She was having so much fun just laughing and talking to herself. She saw herself in a big silver bowl we have and was just living it up! And then she enjoyed standing up holding onto the high chair and talking to herself for awhile. It was hilarious.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of her great hair! I wish I could have captured the great moments of this night, but oh well. Her hair really is great!

Little Princess Power

Most of our recent pictures are of Halley. I am not sure why . . . ha ha ha. Maybe it's because she's so dang cute!

This is a funny video of her trying to put some of the boys' shorts on. She was getting really frustrated! She is OBSESSED with clothes. Anytime she finds any item of clothing on the floor or couch or anywhere she tries to put them on. I am sure we have a fashion diva on our hands. She'll be one of those little girls who has to change her clothes eight times a day!

This is a cute picture I took of her in our storage/toy room. She crawled in there and sat right up on the shelf and just stared at me.And these are cute ones of her new little butterfly dress. My sister-in-law got her some way cute clothes from Gymboree - all butterfly themed! She is adorable in all of them, but we particularly love this dress. The setting isn't optimal, but we were on our way out the door for church, and I knew her hair wouldn't last through all the meetings. She usually pulls her hair out within minutes of me doing it!You gotta love this face! This is the look she gives us anytime we pull out the camera!

Male Bonding Time

Ok, now that I am officially done with pictures from UT and all of our pictures from April, I am going to move onto May and see if I can get them finished quickly!
Our stake had a fathers and sons camp out the first weekend in May. Wes and the boys went with a friend of ours and his son. Things were a little unsure at first because of the weather and some other things, but they ended up having a great time! (And my friend, Becca, and I got to enjoy some good girl bonding!)
I told Wes to take lots of pictures, and I think he did an ok job. The only thing is that he didn't get any of Russ and Vincente! They took Wes' little two-man tent and all slept in it together on our air mattress! It kept them all nice and warm.

Oops, Just Kidding!

So, I thought I was finished with the pictures from our trip, but I forgot we have a few from the day we flew out. That was Halley's actual birthday so we did a little song and candle in the morning. I'm sure she would never have known the difference, but we felt like we should do something!From her looks in these pictures, I'm not really sure she liked our idea!
Then I took some pictures on the way to the airport because the boys looked so cute with their hoodies on. It was a cold rainy/snowy day. I am so excited to go back at the end of June for some UT summer sun!
And, I got a couple pictures of the kids eating their lunch at the airport. I wanted to take some of the kids on the plane, but I felt weird about it. They loved flying on the airplane though! It was fun!

Halley is always happy if she has her sippy cup!

One Year Old Shots!

Here are some fun pictures we took of Halley before the party. She is such a cute girl. We had a lot of fun trying to get her to smile and look at the camera. I know some of these are a little blurry, but they are all so dang cute!

These pictures pretty much don't need any captions, but I just have to say - our baby girl is growing up so fast! And, isn't she the cutest one year old you have ever seen!?!?

Halley's First Cake!

We got a cute little cake from Albertson's for Halley's birthday. At first she was a little skeptical about things, but eventually she was LOVIN' it!
What is that thing?
Hmmmm . . . is this to eat??
Awesome! This is pretty good stuff! Do you want some? She really liked the yellow frosting!

Hooray! I love cake!
The end result - a destroyed cake and a messy, tired baby girl!

Halley's Birthday (Finally!!)

Yes, it's been almost two months since Halley turned one, but it took me awhile to go through the pictures. However, after I finish these I will be done with our trip to UT, and I can do all our recent pictures - hopefully before we head out again in three weeks! :) I am so proud of myself! I am going to use this blog as my "scrapbook" so I am trying to post at least some of all my pictures. So, that's that!Here is my mom hanging out with her grandkids before the party started!
Here are some fun pictures from her birthday party! We had it at my parent's house and had lots of good food and fun! And Halley was way cute! She has such a fun personality! It was also a good opportunity to see all our family members because we left the next day.


I think the boys were feeling like they weren't getting enough attention so they decided to "go to sleep" right on the floor in the front entry way. It was funny!

Here's my wonderful mommy getting some yummy food!

This is a cool picture that Wes' brother took of Halley.

Opening presents was so much fun with Halley. She absolutely LOVED all the clothes she got. She was hugging them and holding them up to look at them. She also loved the dolls she got. She was hugging and patting them too. It was absolutely adorable! She got so many cute clothes!So, look for more pictures from her first cake experience and some cute shots we got of her before the party! I love my baby girl!
