.:Easter Sunday:.

As you can see, I am trying to do a little catching up. I usually like to keep my posts in the order that they happened, but these pictures were all on Randy & Toni's computer and I just went through them all. I guess it is better that I post them late rather than never.

And a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny! Who no one really knew who it was at first, which was actually kind of scary! All of the kids screamed when he came in and started crying! Probably not the reaction he was expecting.

.:Girls:.

(Note: This post was written a few months ago and I never hit "publish post" So although some things are outdated, I still wanted to document it here)

Funny things Brynlie says:

"It's not up to you Hal, it's up to me. And you don't push that button with your feet"

"I hope you get feeling better. When daddy gets home he can get you some medicine, and after it's morning time we can take you to the dr."

"Where did you buy my bed? and where did you buy my blankets?" =me From Target "Thank you mommy. You are the best girl"

Hallie (at about 9 months)

Gives high fives

Claps when you say "patty cake" or "yay"

She started to point, and point at things she wants

She loves balls and likes to hold one in each hand.

She is the best eater. She will eat anything that I put in front of her or feed her. Her favorite baby food is garden vegetable (spinach peas and carrots combined) She loves fruit of course, and squash, sweet potatoes. The only thing she is picky about is carrots and mixed vegetables. Once I heat it up a little bit she gobbles it up.

Just recently gained her second tooth

loves crackers

does the army crawl, but no official crawling yet.

she says Hi and Bye

.:Baby Shower:.

Clear back in APRIL, we threw a baby shower for our cousin Brittany and her baby boy, Ryat. It was so fun to get together and make all of the treats, decorate, etc. Here are some pics!

All of the girls

It was a full house

Funny how much younger they look, only a few short months ago.

Whit & Hallie again

.:Just Pictures:.

I found some more pictures of the girls, a couple of these are from the spring.

(More recent)

We decided we needed to start Baby Boot Camp with Hallie. Just kidding. But this is seriously the best walking toy! We have a few walkers but they seem so light and flimsy. This is one that Toni had from when her kids were babies, it is a little heavier and really sturdy. They used to make toys so much better than they do now. Since she has been practicing, she is getting so close and has taken up to 16 steps at one time. That's the record as of yesterday. Yay!

.:Fun in the Summertime:.

Here is a little of what we have been up to this summer, other than swimming of course

Jeff was in charge of a work party, and it was a success! We had a yummy BBQ, volleyball, kickball, and an outdoor movie, Tangled with a popcorn machine. Bryn just wanted to dance around most of the time, but she loved it

Kissy face Bryn

One night at the last minute we decided to take full advantage of our "Pass of all passes" and went to an Owls Game and watched the fireworks after, it was a good time!

Hallie with her shades

Here she is clapping with Dad

Little Miss Bryn

Here I am with my hunk of a date

We went out to the Spanish Fork Arts Festival with the girls. They got cute umbrellas and fans.

They were selling these adorable puppies. The girls would LOVE a puppy of their own. Hopefully someday

We've had lots of fun getting snowies & hanging out with friends

Her is Bryn with her friend Savannah at Daddy's softball games

Hallie is getting so close to walking by herself, not quite there yet

We've had lots of days playing with cousins

By the end of a busy day, I usually find both girls asleep in the car before we even get home.

And a typical night in the Pearson home. Getting ready for bed.
