Our Weekend at Brianhead

We had such a blast sledding! I think we only lasted maybe an hour, it was so cold. Ava was such a good sport and I seriously felt like a kid again. Kalab didnt really want to be cold so he held Halley and hung out with the rest of my family inside!

The cutest lil newphew ever! I think Ashton had to much fun in the snow!

This is Ava and I going backwards down the hill! He he! Thank you Jaycie for taking the pic then pushing us!

I wish I was this cool ;)

Do you like their matching shirts? I made them!





All the Hardy Grandkids! I like this pic, it looks like Halley is pushing baby Eric back!




Most of us just Hangin out, I think they were watching a movie.
Hello Justin, this was the cool loft!

We are thankful!

For Thanksgiving we went to Kalab's parents house! We enjoyed delicious turkey and mashed potatoes and pies. This was Halley's first Thanksgiving and of course I forgot to get a quick picture of her. We hardly saw Ava as she was running around playing with her cousins the whole time, I am not even sure she ate the whole time we were there, except the whipped cream off her pumpkin pie! Later that night Terri put on a great little show for us. She dresses up as Aunt Edna and does little skits. Its pretty fun! This time Ava and Kalab we in the band! Then we all had a turn to tell everyone what was going on with our little families! Friday we took the kids to the mall, and got a couple great deals and saw Santa! We had such a faboulous weekend, I didnt want it to end! Which got me thinking that we as a family, have so much to be thankful for. I would love to list everything, but maybe another time, as this family I love so much constanly needs my attention!

So 6 was hard, 7 was okay, but 8 is really depressing!

Today is Halley's 8th month birthday! She is such a sweet heart! She's so quiet and loving, she snuggles up to hugs and has a soft little voice and boy oh boy does she love food! Today she is cutting her first top tooth! She moves around so fast, she crawls and rolls and gets up on her hand and toes, like shes doing a push up, and she can lay and the ground and lift herself to sit up! She still has blue eyes that Kalab and I dont know where they came from, we both have dark brown so does Ava and so does Victoria. She is finally getting some hair and its blonde! I love Halley so much! I am so glad she came to our family, she is the perfect little addition. I haven't really made any changes to my normal routine, most importantly she sleeps! She has slept thru then night since we brought her home from the hospital. She just a Happy Halley!

These are just a couple pictures I snapped real fast!

Just a couple of pictures!

Matching Sweaters! Too cute!

The girls love when I do this! (its whipped cream from a can)

My studly Husband going to an interview for his practicum! He so so close to being done! I am so excited! I love my hubby and he is working so hard for us! I can't believe how smart he is! He has gotten all A's so far! Keep up the good work! We love you!

Halley Mae working on her crawling skills!

and eating skills, she loves speghetti! I wasn't actually planning on feeding her any, but she kept screaming and reaching for it, so I let her have a couple bites and she kept yelling for more, I couldn't keep it coming fast enough for her!

The Adventure of two little monsters and a witch!

Last Friday I went to Provo to spend Halloween with my sister. Friday we went to a kids gym to have a little party! Ava loved it! Then Jaycie and Ava made some delicious pumpkin pizza ( regular pizza dough with orange food coloring and shaped like a pumpkin). Then we enjoyed the trunk or treat and bbq at her church, then we trick or treated until Ava couldnt carry any more candy! I really wanted to blog about Halloween before it got to late, but for some reason I am not really in the mood.

Getting ready for Halloween!

Satuday we meet one of my high school friends, Kayla at a Halloween Carnival! Ava got to decorate a pumpkin, make a bird feeder, do a cup cake walk, get a pumpkin painted on her face and frost a cookie! Then we decided to go to the Boo at the Zoo. Yep it was kinda lame! We had more fun at the free carnival. I didnt even take any pictures at the zoo. Ava is a witch, but her hat doesnt stay on her head!

We came home for a little bit, then went to Kayla's house for some yummy soup and rolls. It was so nice to visit and catch up on old times! Sunday we tried to go to church but Halley was being so cranky, she fussed for an hour while we were trying to get ready, so we said forget it. Then we met up with some other friends visiting from Twin Falls.

This is how I found Ava later today on my bed. Cuddled up perfectly with angel wings! What a sweet heart! She was playing dress up and just got tired!

Feeling Crafty!

last weekend we had so much fun carving PUMPKINS!

Then I have been practicing making bows! Its my new hobby, I could and have spent hours making bows! Here are just a few of my favorites!

Last week a friend gave me a high chair, it is in really good condition, but I wanted to make it super girly and soft and comfy for Halley, so I added 4 layers of batting and flannel material, which I Scotch guarded, so hopefully it stays a little clean! this was definitely a practice round, hopefully soon I will sew another one and do a better job, I didn't have a pattern so it was kinda hard to figure out!

Just a close up of the fabric, its so cute!

and a Family picture that took at least 10 tries to get a decent one!

Halley Mae's Blessing

After trying to plan Halley's blessing weekend after weekend without success, we decided the the best thing to do was to bless her at our Home when both sides of our family could make it. Kalab's Dad gave the blessing and it was beautiful!

Ava's special 4th Birthday!

We started the partying Friday night! I took Ava and two of her little friends to Have pedicures and Manicures. Seriously it was so cute. They have this little boutique salon just for kids. She has been asking for a pedicure for her birthday since I got one in August! and of course she loved it!

Then we had a party with Family and a few close friends! Aunt Jaycie and Uncle Dallas and Ashton came from Provo Utah. My family came from Overton Neveda, (close to Las Vegas). And Kalabs Parents came from Idaho Falls! We had a bbq at the park, but the wind blew hard and it was cold so it was cut short! Kind of a bummer, but Ava didnt seem to mind, she was having a great time!

Then we went Bowling! We had two different lanes, I think Kalab won over all, and Jaycie came in 2nd, after that I cant remember, but it was fun!








Then to end the night we all went to Craigo's, Ava's favorite pizza and pasta buffet.
