New 4 wheeler

We got a 4 wheeler last week. We got a really good deal we just could not pass up. We paid 200 bucks for it. It needed a few things, but easy fixes. It is not the best looking ride, but it is a 1998 and it was cheap. Since our backyard is a big dirt mess we have spent a lot of time riding it in the backyard. Halie loves to 4 wheel (thanks to grandpa and his yellow 4 wheeler). We only have a bike helmet for her. She knows she can't ride without it though. She is always asking if we can go for a ride to her friend Shelby's house. They live up the street and have some 4 wheelers too.

Since Hunter can't ride he hangs out in the stroller and watches.

Halie and Mason

Halie and Mason have been friends for a long time. They are so cute together. We went to Fiesta Fun and they have a jungle gym area to play in. Halie was more into the school bus than the gym. Halie convinced Mason to ride with her. They were so cute together. They didn't even have any money to ride the bus. They looked like they were having the time of there lives.

Halie loves Mason.

Big Sister

Hunter looks up to Halie. Every time she is around him he can't take his eyes off her. No matter how much she is in his face and tickling him with her hair, he loves her. Anytime she is talking and she is not in the same room, he is looking for her.

This is what happens when I look away for 10 seconds. Halie thought she was so funny for putting the pink crown on Hunter. She told me he looks like a pretty princess.

Hunter is such a smiley little man. Whenever I am frustrated all I have to do is look and him and he will smile and I feel better. Halie gives big warm loving hugs and kisses too.

Sleeping

When I woke up yesterday morning this was how I found Hunter. I thought he looked so cute.


I swear all Hunter does is eat and sleep. I guess life is so hard when all he has to do is eat, sleep and poop.

4th of July

For the 4th my parents come down to visit. We had a nice BBQ with steaks and corn on the cob. Brett had to eat hot dogs, because of his braces hurting his teeth (sorry). We went to the park to partake in the activities. Pretty much the food. As you can see this was how much fun Hunter had. What a ruff life.

Yes Hunter loves to sleep. He spends alot of time sleeping. Yes he is a thumb sucker. I was really angry at first, then a friend told me that was good right now. She called him a self soother. When you have 2 out of control kids if he can soothe himself it is ok for now.

Halie was being a brat and this was the best picture I could get of her all day.

My mom and Hunter

While we were at the park they had a little train ride. Halie kept saying he wanted to ride on it. I told my dad she says she wants to, but when it comes down to it she will be a chicken to ride alone. My dad took her anyway (my dad has a really hard time saying no to her). She actually rode by herself and loved it. I was so proud of her.

Hunter 1st Swim

Halie loves to go swimming at the condo. Brett's parents have a condo on the other side of town. We go swimming there quite often, because it doesn't cost any money. Halie had been asking to go swimming, so we decided to go. On the way over she must have fallen asleep, because when we got there this is what she looked like.

This was Hunter's first trip to the pool. He loved it. He is our chill baby. He just goes with the flow of things. He never even cried, or made a peep even when Halie would splash him. Once we got out I changed his clothes and he fell asleep.

Friends

In the middle of town the city built this cool little water park. it is just a little stream with big rocks, and a billion kids. Halie asks everyday if we can go to main street park. We invited our good friends to go with us one day. They have a little girl named Shelby who is Halies same age. They are so cute together. They get along really well. They had such a blast at the park.

Shelby lives just up the street. Halie asks all the time can we walk to Shelby's I want to play. Yes there is the cheeser again.

As I have mentioned in the past Halie loves her tu tu. For some reason when any boys come over to our house they end up wearing the tu tu's and the dress up princess shoes. Most of the dads tell them to take it off and tell them boys don't wear that kind of stuff. It is so funny. I don't know if Halie tells them to wear it, or if they choose on their own. Here is Halie's good friend Cache wearing the dress ups. Halie thinks she is the princess and the boys are her princes.

Halie has really been into Little Rascals the movie lately. There is a part where these girls are in a ballerina concert. Every time that part is on she makes me pause it, so she can go her tu tu and her crown.

Soft

Lately Halie has been really ruff. No matter how many times I say be soft, calm, be nice she can't. Her niceness is few and far between. When I saw this I just about fell over. We have been telling her one day Hunter will be beating up on you. When that day comes we wont protect you, because of how mean you were to him. She tells us I am the big sister. What she doesn't realize is Hunter is getting big fast.

She really loves him she just can' t be soft. We realized she has been hanging out with a bunch of boys lately. We think that is why she has been little ruff. We are trying to play with more girls now.

Smiles

I think this is my new favorite picture of Hunter. He is such a happy baby as long as he is fed. Hunters favorite thing to do is eat. He is starting to roll to his sides. He is getting so strong he can hold his head up forever.

Hunter loves to fall asleep on Brett.

Cozy coupe

Some friends bought their little girl one of these cars a couple years ago. Every time we go to their house they fight over this car. We looked to buy Halie one, but they were pretty expensive. Last week we went to a yard sale. This car was the first thing Halie found and would not get out. The lady doing the sale told Brett it looks like you will be buying it. We got it for $10. I think it was worth it. What a cheeser.

Brett and I wash our cars weekly. I love to be outside and I love to have a clean car. So we are washing Brett's cop car, and here comes Halie with her car. She asked if we could wash hers next. She got the washcloth and soapy water and started cleaning. Anyone who knows Halie well knows she loves to clean. She didn't get that from Brett.

Brett totally got into it with her. I got left to finish both cars on my own.

Hunter wishing he was playing in the water too.

Petting Zoo

I know it has been awhile since I've posted, so today I have lots to show you.

A few weeks ago Brett had training in SLC. I took the kids and went to Orem to visit. While we were there Nanny Bart took us to the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo. It was so much fun. Halie is really into animals right now.

Halie loved feeding the goats. Since we went to Florida Halie loves goats she says the are her favorite animal. In Florida we visited the animal kingdom. They had goats and sheep's roaming around for people to pet. I thought she would be a big chicken, and she wasn't at all. She did not want to leave. While we were at the petting zoo she found the goats first and just wanted to feed them. Thanks Nanny Bart!!
