miss halle at 3 months

this is for you mom and dad.... the room is finally finished!

jake won't let me take any pictures of halle without getting a few of him.... ummm...i have no clue where he got this from :)

it was kind of emotional to put halle in this dress.... i bought it when we were expecting a girl over a year ago and then i miscarried at 20 weeks... i saved the dress as a memory and so happy i did because halle looks like a little princess in it!!!

whoops! same pic!

bracelet- check! bow- check! painted toe nails- check!! i LOVE having a girl :)

this was my older sister's baby dress, then i wore it and then all our dolls wore it and 33 years later halle's wearing it!!! we love you princess :)

christmas 2009

we had a busy december!! my dad and brother came to phoenix to drive me and the kids back to utah. john stayed for two more weeks and then drove to utah. my sweet dad got up with halle pretty much every night so i could get caught up on some much needed sleep :)


john gave halle a beautiful baby blessing and ALL of our grandparents were there...such a special night!
