Baby Blessing

Thank you to everyone who attended Halli's baby blessing. Sorry we didn't get around to posting it sooner. I have very limited pictures of this event as we had purchased a new digi cam and didn't think to get a memory card. Who knew it would limit our picture taking to 13 pics? All of baby and none our guests. So as we are waiting for others to "be developed" please enjoy the cutie pie pics we did get. It was a special event and we were glad those of you who could did come and share the event with us. And a special thanks to Mom (Colleen) and Monica for helping out by bringing the extra and super yummy muffins. We were surrounded by family and great friends and the wonderful spirit that filled our hearts and home will always be cherished. Halli's blessing was Sunday December 7, 2008.

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...
