New Pictures of Halle

My awesome sister-in-law Mandy took the cutest pictures of Halle and she is so good at it! She takes the best pictures and she does it professionally. You should definitely look at her blog, it is footprints-photo.blogspot.com. This is probably going to be a long post but I liked so many of them. Just so you know Halle was such a pain while taking these pictures. She didn't corporate at all. She wanted me to hold her hand the whole time and wouldn't look at the camera ever. So most of these are candid ones, but those are my favorite.

Yea for December 7th!

Well I am 35 weeks and almost done! I usually don't post any pregnancy pictures because I feel so gross and ugly when I am pregnant but I thought why not. I am very excited because I went to the doctors and they let me schedule my Induction date! So I will have this baby on December 7th if he doesn't come sooner. That is four weeks away! It is so nice to get this date because I can see an official end in sight. This pregnancy has been a lot harder on my body then with Halle. I don't know if it is because I am having a boy or I am a couple years older but I am so ready to be done. I am ready to be done with the constant heartburn, nausea, sciatic nerve pain, and tiredness. Don't get me wrong though, I am so so so so grateful that I am able to get pregnant and on the bright side all of those symptoms disappear when you have the baby, except for the tiredness, I think that gets worse!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year even with the pouring rain. Halle was so excited to go trick or treating and dress up in her costume and she had a blast! We first went to the mall to trick or treat because of the pouring rain. It started to get really crowded towards the end but Halle loved it. We then went back home and went around our neighborhood. She did not want to stop even though it was rainy and cold. When we got home she dumped out all of her candy on the floor and sorted through it like kids do and it was so cute but it made me a little sad because she is growing up so fast. I still think of her as my little baby.
We also had our friends Andrew and Lindsay and Whit and Tennille and their kids over after, which was a lot of fun. We played games and hung out. We don't get together very often any more so it was good to see them.

Toy Story 3 3D

We took Halle to Toy Story 3 3D. We waited until it was at the dollar show so because we knew she wouldn't last the whole time. She loved wearing the glasses and lasted over an hour which I thought was pretty good for a 2yr old.

CornBelly Maze at Thanksgiving Point

We took Halle to the CornBelly Maze at Thanksgiving Point. They had so much fun stuff to do besides the maze. They had bounce houses, a trampoline type thing that Halle is jumping on in the picture, pig races (which was Halle's favorite part), hay rides, a little haunted house, fire pits everywhere and a lot more. Of course she was afraid of everything and didn't want to go anything until we started to leave. She then worked up the courage to do some of the stuff. We had a lot of fun!

They had the coolest carved pumpkins but you can't really tell by the picture how intricate the carving were. I was impressed.

Best Sister Ever!

I just have to say that I have the best sister ever! I have been in A LOT of pain these last couple of weeks with my sciatic nerve. It was something that I have heard pregnant women talk about and thought that sucks I am glad I didn't have that when I was pregnant with Halle. I always felt bad for the people that had it but until you experience it you do not know how painful it really is. Every time I do the simplest things like carry grocery's, vacuum a room, or do the dishes I am major pain that night and the next day I am barley able to walk and anyway I move is very, very, painful. Well needless to say my house has been a complete disaster and it has been driving me crazy. So my wonderful sister asked if she come clean my house and of course I said no because I was so embarrassed to even let her in my house let alone clean it! Well she just showed up at my house this morning and wouldn't take no for an answer. It was exactly what I needed. She came and cleaned and it helped me a SO MUCH. I am so grateful for a sister who knows when to not take no for an answer. Sometimes that is just what you need. I love ya Nikki, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Weekend Get Away!

This weekend we stayed a couple nights in Salt Lake. We went with our friends Whit, Tennille and their kids, and Andrew and Lindsay. If was fun to just get away and relax. We went swimming, to the aquarium, walked around the Temple grounds and just hung out. Halle had so much fun at the aquarium. The penguins there were really active, jumping in and out of the water and the they had stingray that you could pet. I think most of all Halle loved being with all of the kids.

Andrew, Lindsay and Jack petting the stingray

It was the funniest thing. We decided to put Halle down for a nap in the bathroom. We heard her talking in there but just figured that she was playing. When we went to wake her up we found her asleep with the phone in her hand. Yes the bathroom had a phone in it, wierd. Hopefully she didn't call anybody!

Best Friends

Most of the time Halle just just bugs and teases Max, but once in a while they will just hang out and play together. It is so cute.

It's a boy!!!

It is definitely a boy! It is kind of a weird view, his head is down so you can see his little bum and legs and of course the money shot. I am so excited!! It will be so fun and different. I am a little nervous because when it comes to boys I am lost, so wish me luck!

Summer Time

Well, it has been forever since I have blogged! I have not taken many pictures because I have been feeling so sick the last couple of months because ..... I am pregnant! I think most everybody knows by now, but now I am feeling better so hopefully I will be posting more pictures. Here is some of the stuff we have done this summer.

We have done a whole lot of swimming. The first couple of times we took Halle she was so scared of the water and wanted nothing to do with it but now she loves it!

Lots of BBQ's and Fire Pits.
