.:All in White:.

On Sunday, June 27th, Hallie was given a name and a blessing by her sweet daddy. Jeff did an amazing job, and the spirit was felt so strongly. It was such a special day for our family
Some of our experiences over the last 2 months have been very strengthening to my testimony. In particular my testimony of fasting and prayer, and also of the power of the priesthood. I know that by trusting in our Heavenly Father, having faith, and doing our part, that he will do the rest. He knows what is best for us, and He loves us! I am so thankful for that knowledge. I am very thankful for Jeff. He is a great example to me and strengthens me so much. I am thankful that he honors the priesthood that he holds and that he is able to bless our family
One experience we had the first time Hallie stopped breathing, we were frantic and not knowing what to do. Just before we rushed out the door, I am so thankful that Jeff stopped us and remembered to give her a blessing. The moment he placed his hands on her head she started crying really hard, but that was a good thing! We knew that if she was crying she was able to get in some air. I knew that she would be okay at that moment, and I felt calm because of the blessing he gave her.

Hallie has been such a sweet baby! She is a great sleeper, in fact just last night she slept solid from 10:30pm to 7:30am. Hello, that's 9 hours straight! I feel so lucky that I am able to get some sleep!

This little girl is full of sass! She is also so sweet, and I love watching her learn and grow. She catches on to things very quickly. She is such a sweet big sister.
We appreciate all of our family and friends who were able to share this special day with us

.:Happy Fourth:.

We had a busy and fun filled weekend celebrating our Independance for the 4th. A few different BBQ's, lots of fireworks, Balloon Fest, Parade, and Stadium of fire just to name a few of our activities.
This is Alexa's (future sis-in-law) sister Bryn. Her and Brynlie LOVE to hang out together. They are great friends, how could they not be? They have the same name! Bryn is so cute, we would love to have her around all of the time!

So I am pretty sure Brynlie was tired (quite literally) of us taking pictures of her. When we told her to smile she would lay her head back and close her eyes like this every time. It was hysterical.
I loved watching Bryn's reaction to the big fireworks, she was in awe!
(We were pretty excited about this glow stick ball, as you can see!)


BBQ's & Family get togethers, fireworks, etc



This girl loves the swings. She would swing all day long if I would let her
What better way to kill the time waiting for it to get dark for fireworks than having a silly string fight?
Bryn was hiding out away from all of the chaos, great idea!
She got in on the action a little bit too! Watch out!
What. A. Mess.

Jeff got a little carried away with the face paint!Hallie was pretty excited to celebrate her very first Independence Day

She has the silliest expressions ever... but that is a whole other post! (Coming soon)

Since the majority of our pictures are of our girls, I have loved snapping a few shots of Jeff and I together. I think he's pretty attractive...
