Well, is it obvious that I am amazing at downloading pictures and putting them in some type of order. Someone please give me a little tutorial on how to work this blogging thing. Anyways, I cannot believe it is September; crazy a year ago right now we were on the beach! This summer has been full of fun. Halle is pleased to have some new friends around. She went with cute Addie to the fairy princess party, "tatie and baby bizzy" are so fun to have gone swimming with and as of a few days ago we have a sweet new niece Olivia June Cannon whom we cannot wait to meet. Baby Paige is another new cousin whom Halle loves to visit. Baby Paige was voted the cutest lady bug at Halle's birthday party. Oh and yah for a new little guy who will be welcomed to the world hopefully in the next few weeks! We enjoyed celebrating our freedom with a little visit to the fair and celebrating the life of Uncle Alan up on the mountain for July 4th. The zoo has become one of our favorite places. We will be so sad when it gets too cold. Cute Halle turned two on August 29th. To say she was spoiled would be an understatement. She had most of her favorite people there and was sad for those who couldn't be there. Thanks to cute Keri for letting me steal her darling bug idea. Halle had a fantastic 2 year checkup passing with flying colors. The doctor said she is the opposite of "failure to thrive". Our little giant topped the charts at 37.25 inches and weighing in at 30 lbs. Our most utilized reference these days is turning out to be a little book called "Love and Logic". We certainly have our work cut out for us. Our Halle bug has an agenda of her own. Farewell to another summer of goodness!

What is wrong with this picture? oops-- returned this darling
suit... semi-scandalous

early morning poo-face is genetic

Hmm...

It has been awhile. Time to do a quick recap with some pictures. Life has been exciting. Christmas was an adventure with Halle loving every moment of it. Moved to a new house in February. Halle is growing like a weed. New cousin came into the world in April. New cousin expected in the world on 10/10/10. Cute Grandpa Bud passed away. Levi turned a year older. The zoo and being outside are on the list of Halle's favorite things. Obsession with water still happening. Vocabulary increasing at a dangerously rapid rate(Trying hard to watch what I say). My naughty, but oh so nice little lady is not so little anymore. Working hard to survive temper tantrums. Levi's been enjoying working in the yard, while I have enjoyed watching him work in the yard sipping diet coke's and pretending like I am far too busy during Halle's naps to ever be able to pull weeds. Yah for summer and for Halle stripping down in the front yard, running down the street yelling "no street!" Yah to permanent markers and beautiful body art. Yah to cool weather on the day the princess locked herself in the car and proceeded to put the keys in the ignition and color with pen all over the console. Oh my sweet Halle life would not be any fun without you.

Oh and almost forgot about the darling pictures Caroline took of Halle back in November...
