Jesse has already warned me that I am not to blog without her permission but she didn't put this picture up and I thought that it was pretty funny. This is a common look from Halle. This look means "Dad, could you get Mom cause you don't really know what you are doing." I am sure that I will get a look from Jesse just like this one when she finds out I'm blogging without her approval.

Zonked out after her first full day at church. It was rough on both of us. Thanks for the cute socks Laureen!


This picture was from today. Lonny got her this shirt before she was born when he was in Pennsylvania for work. Of course they couldn't leave without stopping at the Hershey factory and yes, he brought me some chocolate too. Halle is starting to be so alert now, though smiles are still few and far between. She is so much fun and I still can't believe how different she is in just 2 months. This morning I thought, "I can't believe she's going to be 3 months this week." Then I realized- she's not- she's going to be 2 months this week. I don't know what I was thinking- I guess I knew the time was flying by so I must have thought it was going even faster than it was.


These pictures are of her first mani-pedi. I painted her fingernails and toenails first when she was about one month. I love that she fell asleep with her fingers spread like she was afraid to mess them up! I have been wanting to blog since then, but our internet is spotty. (ok I'll be honest- our neighbor's internet is spotty. We had full intentions of getting our own internet service when we moved (we used our neighbor's in pocatello too), but low and behold, we had excellent signal, and seriously- what is the point in paying for it ourselves if there is perfectly good, unsecured internet flowing right through our windows?) So, this is why our blogs are rare, except for when Lonny throws in his own two cents while at work. Don't worry- we are done being hooligan free-loaders. We are going to join the rest of you and be grown-up internet subscribers soon :)

We're just hanging out at her cousin Michael's 1st birthday party.

Anyway- it may be awhile again, but here's a little bit of catch up until next time!

Halle June was blessed Sunday Dec 7 by Lonny, who did such a great job. We had all our immediate family (minus my bro on a mission) plus my mom's dad and both my dad's parents. It was such a special day and I am so grateful they were all able to make it. My mom bought Halle her dress, my sister, Millie gave her the cute bracelet, and my friend Chelsi Wood made her booties (which I forgot to put a picture of the booties up, but I will because they are amazing). She looked so dang cute, I took tons of pictures, but I'll only put up a few.






Halle with her cousins!
Halle with Payson then Halle with Michael & Brooklyn

This year for Thanksgiving we were in Bern, ID with Jesse's family. Her Grandma insisted that we all wear white shirts so that we could have family pictures taken. One thing we didn't know was that the picture was going to be taken outside where it was not warm and we would be facing directly into the sun. We really aren't mad, we are just staring into the sun.
