Happy Thanksgiving

We went to Dad and Moms for Turkey. It was nice to visit with family and to see how everyone has changed. The food was great the pies were fantastic and the day went by to fast. Funny that the whole production of turkey dinner takes so long, and the actual din part is so short before your so full and tired you can't think straight. Or in my case remember what your talking about half way through the conversations let alone finish a sentence and make sense. Thank you Halli for lack of sleep and what I'm sure was entertainment to anyone trying to visit with me. Sorry to all that I tried to talk to and couldn't get it right. On that note. Sorry to those of you who have received a Baby blessing invite only to read my mistake on calling it a shower. I completely blame post pregnancy brain. We are grateful for our many blessings, family, friends and many treasures. Mostly We are thankful to each other and our kids who put up with us. Much love to all this Holiday season we love you all and are grateful and Thankful for the presence you've had in our lives. (Grandma I counted my peanuts from my Thanksgiving cup and realized my blessings and things I'm Thankful for and let's just say my cup runneth over.)

Baby Blessing notice

I am such a procrastinator! I am sending invites out for Halli's blessing however my intent on being crafty is a failure. I am thinking if I were a smart woman I would have just ordered the birth announcements from the photo shop. But no I tried to think I could make something cute. Of course my ideas and my abilities are two different things. So they are coming. But in case you need advanced notice to schedule. Halli is being blessed on Sunday December 7, 2008 at 9AM at the chapel located on Angel street. (between Gentile and Weaver Lane. I'll get address later. Keep an eye open for you invite. To those family members who I have forget please forgive me in advance and know you are welcome to join the event.

Nicholas made it

Due to our travels to Texas and having a baby just before Nicholas' 12th Birthday we were a little off track... However We just wanted to congratulate Mr. Nicholas for being ordained today into the priesthood.

Thank you Dad, mom, Kyle, Nate, Hunter and Sierra for attending such a great event.

Sorry Nick-ie boo for being an emotional mommie and crying over you getting so old and for crying over the very special and heart warming blessing Dad offered in your ordination. We are so proud of you and we love you so very much!!!!

What is perfection?

Everyone has a different idea of what perfection is....
This one is mine. Miss Halli Marissa...

Halloween

Halloween 2008

Danielle dressed as a Ninja Princess

Nicholas was a Grim reaper under neath he was a Star wars trooper but wouldn't show off his creation.

The rest of the kids headed out with Michael to trick or treat.

Hunter was batman
and Sierra was a water fairy from the new Tinker bell movie. (Nate has pics still waiting for some from him on them.)

The kids enjoy a baby too

Here are a few pic's of Halli's brothers and sisters enjoying her, but not as much as her Daddy and Mommie do that's for sure!!!

where has the time gone already?

It's cold weather, the leaves have fallen the holidays are upon us. And I'm still hibernating at home with Baby bug. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Time passes much faster now that Halli is here then when we were waiting for her. She is 5 weeks old almost 6 and growing faster than I'd like her too. Amazing how different she is already. She has the sweetest cooing voice and makes many sounds. From grunting to squeaking to little laughs and small chatters of nothings. She is growing so fast and looks like a baby now not a newborn. Oh the love she fills our lives with is amazing. Even though she still wont sleep through the night, we love her so much anyways. Here are a few more pictures of my precious bug. Enjoy and if I ever find a spare moment I'll update on other things.

Also included the very special visits with family and such over the last 3 weeks included. I don't have pic's of all her visitors but here are some I do have.
