HALLE THE HOUDINI

This afternoon we put Halle in bed for a nap. Well within 15 min. we heard her door open and out came Halle. We wanted to see how she got out so we put her back in and this what we saw .........

I can't believe how big she is getting. We love her and she always makes us smile and laugh. Halle has no fear and loves to climb.

EPHRAIM

Well we have moved to Ephriam, UT we are loving it here. Shane is coaching football for Snow College and they are doing ever good. Two of his player have already been offered scholarships to Utah . I am working full time and doing some school. Halle is loving Ephriam because everyone here has a dog or a horse. She loves animals and gets very excited when she sees them. She is 15 months now and is starting to talk alot. She says Mom, Dad, Ashley, Addi, Peekaboo, Hi, kitchen, dog, and usually trys repeat any word if you ask her to say it. She loves playing Hide-n-seek and ride her wooden horse. Sorry we have not updated for a while.

Summer Fun!!

This summer brought alot of fun times. We got to go the the zoo, play outside, going to Grandma D. house, riding horses, go to island park and just enjoy our time together as a family. I must say that going to the zoo and playing out side has been alot more fun now we have our precious little girl.

Watch out for the Giraffes

April, Addi, Anna, and Nate also came.

Look at my new pool.Halle Loves Horses. She gets so excited when she sees them. Don't you just love Shanes mustache.

SUMMER FUN IN NEVADA!

We went to Logandale, NV for my Makenzie's baptism. We always have a great time when we go down to the Staheli's. They are so nice to everyone and make us all feel welcome. The other great thing is the heat. Somehow it is still 95 degrees at seven at night. Got to love Logandale. We had a great time down there. We got to watch Tyson and Drake play in their baseball games and they both played really well. We also got to go swimming at an awesome pool. It was Halle's first time in the pool abd she loved it. It took her a little while to get used to the water but once she did she had a lot of fun. The highlight of the trip was seeing Makenzie get baptized. There was a great spirit at the baptism. We are proud of Makenzie for her choice and the great example she is to Halle. As a new parent it means a lot to have such a great family to help us teach our daughter what is really important in life. Everyone around her is a great example. We are so grateful for our families. It was great justt o be able to spend some time with the family and just have fun. All the kids had a great time amid all the chaos of having the grandkids there. We are looking forward to spending more time with the family and doing a lot of fun things this summer. Halle wants to be held so this is it for now. Have a great day everyone.

I love the sun!

Halle and Shane after practice. Love this picture. We will sure miss football. But new adventures a wait. Hey everyone! Just thought we should update a little. We are doing great. Shane in starting finals this week. Come April 20th he will be done and have his bachelors degree. We are so proud of him and all his hard work! Playing football and going to school was hard enough let alone being a dad and husband. He always made time for us and we were so happy to see him. We love you. Halle is getting so big and talking so much. She has such a great personality. She is pretty shy when it comes to other people but if you hang around enough she will open up. She is such a good sleeper now. We went through a rough patch a while ago but now she is back . She has learned to dance now to music probably from her cousin Quincy. She loves when you sing to her. She is a very busy girl. Now she can crawl and pull herself up and walk around furniture. The other day she has a little thing she can ride on and a saucer. They were side by side and she crawled up the thing she rides and then started to proceed to try and get on top of the saucer . She is so full of energy and looking for new adventures. We love her so much and love being around her.

Little Miss Halle

Well I wanted to keep updating my post. I can't find my camera right now so when I find it I will post pictures. This month Halle got RSV. She had to get suctioned down her nose and in to her lungs. She is starting to get better so that is great. So Halle is getting so big she has started to crawl really good. My favorite thing she started to do yesterday was clap her hands when we sing if you are happy and you know it. She is 8 months old now and growing fast. Some fun things about her are she gets bashful and she bates her eyes. She loves peekabo and If you are happy and you know it. She loves to stand up and she is starting to walk around the table or she has a toy that she can walk around the house with. She is really good at pulling faces. She is starting to become a mommys girl. We love her so much and are so thankful she is in our life. So what is new in our life is not much but we have decided for Shane to take the defensive assistant coaching job at snow college. So come august we will be moving down to ephraim. Crazy, the place we first met. I will be attending school as well and applying to finish my last year of nursing school. So that is about all that is going on. I will post pictures when I find my camera

R.I.P. Howard

This past weekend we took a little trip up to Idaho Falls to see baby Anna and just to hang out with the old family. It was a great weekend full of lots of fun and games and lots of laughs. Even the drive home seemed to be alright. Little did we know that over the weekend our dear fish Howard had gone to heaven. This is the same Howard who lived on breadcrums and who knows what for more than a couple months. He was the most resiliant fish I have ever met. He always brought a smile to our faces after being away from the house. He lived for over a year now in his new home. It was the best we could do for him. Now his home is vacant and I doubt we will ever be able to replace him. He will always be Halle's big brother and our favorite son. Come to think of it I never really knew if Howard was a boy or girl. Either way we love him and can't wait to see him again someday. R.I.P. Howard Jan 2010-Mar 2011

We had such a great time with them. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family. They are so loving and wonderful. We then headed up to Idaho for christmas. We had such a great time. Thanks to the Hunters for making us feel so welcome and for the great christmas. Halle is now 7 1/2 months old. She is getting so big. It is amazing how fast they grow up. Halle is such an amazing baby she hardly ever cries and she sleeps so good. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.
