Going Private!

Well, we are going private! There are some really cute pictures that I want to post of my girls, and after hearing some stories from some friends of weirdos taking there pictures, I think it is the best thing to do. So I am giving anyone 2 weeks...if you follow our blog and want to stay in touch, just send me your email on the comments or on facebook. Thanks everyone!

Catching up...

Since my last posting, here is what has happened to our family......

1. Bella turned 4 on December 14 and had a Tinkerbell/bowling party with our family and friends...she is growing up so fast and is getting tall!


The gifts, pizza, bowling, and a Tinkerbell ice cream cake from ColdStone...Great Birthday!!!


My mom's ballerina way of bowling




2. My parents bought me a piano for graduation...that has been great to have in our house. I have missed playing!


3. Had Christmas in our own home for the first time and started our own traditions.


Bella's sassy robe and Dan finally got Arrested Development on DVD....get it on Netflix if you have yet to see this amazing show.

4. Spent New Year's at my parents home in Lewisville and celebrated my Dad's birthday


5. My mom came for a weekend and helped me paint the master bedroom....blue was the color of choice and it turned out awesome!


6. I continued to get bigger and bigger, but still feeling good.

7. Dan and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on Feb. 18 and we were able to repeat our first date in Rexburg...dinner at Gringos and a late movie at the dollar theatre. We also got chocolate dipped strawberries like we do every year for our anniversay and a massage.

8. March was spent with my family while Dan drove back and forth waiting for my phone call to tell him it was time to meet our baby girl. We had our baby in Idaho Falls because my doctor there is the only one that I trust.

9. We made a big purchase. Besides our house that we bought almost 3 years ago, we decided that we now needed driving room with a new addition coming. Dan and I both had cars that are 1995 and were starting to show it. So meet our upgrade....a silver 2006 Nissan Murano and we love it.



10. March 27, 2010 our little girl HALLIE BETH was born and we now says KIDS instead of kid. That is weird!



Bella is now a big sister and is loving this new role. Except when you ask Bella what she thinks of Hallie, she says, "She's alright."



11. Hallie was blessed May 2, 2010. It was a special day that reminded me how lucky I am to be a Mom and that I married a man that can bless my children and all of the blessings and emotions that go along with that. We were able to be surrounded by our family and friends with a few exception. Corrine, Andrew, and Seth....I missed you!
