Star Valley Ranch

This weekend we went up to Toph's family's cabin at Star Valley Ranch. We had a lot of fun. It is so beautiful and relaxing up there.

Swimming Pics

Halle has loved swimming this year but we haven't been able to go that much because it is always raining! Finally July came and the rain went away.

Memorial Day 09'

We were going to put Halle's feet in the river but when I put my feet it the water was so cold they instantly turned numb.

It has been a while since I have posted. Our computer wasn't working and it took a little while to get it up and running again. Also we have been really busy with home improvements. We recently put a cement patio in our backyard. It is so nice to have because Halle LOVES being outside. She would play outside all day if she could. We also had to repaint our deck and we put shudders on our house which was a little tricky but now we are finally done! We had a good Memorial day. We had breakfast with my family at the park which I didn't think was going to happen because of the rain we had all weekend, but Monday ended up being a beautiful day.

Happy Easter!

Girls Weekend!

Last weekend my sisters, mom, and I went to St. George for a girls weekend. This was my first weekend away from Halle and well, it ended up being a little stressful. When I left her Friday morning she seemed fine. She acted like she had a little bit of a cold and had been teething which was really painful for her, but she seemed good. By Friday night she had a temperature of 103 degrees! I felt so horrible. I wished I was there to take care of her when she was so sick. There is no worse feeling to then to have your baby sick and you can't be there or do anything for her. Only one other time has she had a temperature that high and it was scary. Luckly a few hours later her fever broke and she was starting to feel better. Toph had taken her up to Logan so she had plenty of people taking care of her. Thanks, Winnan and Mandy you guys helped a ton!

Even though she was sick and I was thinking about her the whole time I had so much fun. The weather was beautiful in St. George. We left Pleasant Grove when it was snowing a freezing and then came warm, sunny weather. We layed in the sun for hours. I even got a sunburn! We shopped and shopped and shopped and ate yummy food. Those are my favorite things to do on vacation. It was definiatly a girls vacation! The only thing that was missing was my sister Mandy. She couldn't go this time and she was missed! Also thanks to Toph for doing such a good job with Halle. Your the best husband!

Happy 1st Birthday Halle!

Halle had her first Birthday! She had a lot of fun digging into her cake. At the beginning she was barley touching the cake but once she got used to it, she dug right in!

She was more interested in the balloons then the presents.

I tied the balloons to her highchair and at first she didn't like them. She didn't know what to do with them. It was pretty funny watching her get them out of her face.

Every year my family goes to the cemetery to visit my both of my grandpas. We tell stories about them and all of the kids get a balloon to let go of. It's nice to get together and reminisce.
