So these pictures are from a few Sundays ago. We took Hallie to the park because I wanted to try and get some good pics of her. The little stinker, she would not crack one smile or look at me. Needless to say, this last picture of her says it all. "Mom...please stop! I just want to play!!!" Then we get home and she gives a smile!

Nauvoo

We went to Nauvoo over the weekend. It was so fun, but my favorite part was stopping to take a picture of the Viking. We drive by it every time we come here and I always bug Aaron about stopping to get a picture of it. He finally gave in! Isn't it so funny? It is the mascot of the school. Sad that the mascot is bigger than the actual school. And the funniest part is that the school changed their mascot to a Viking because someone donated this to them!! I'm a nerd, I know. But I think it's hilarious.

Camping

We went camping at Kent State Park. Hallie's getting her kissing practice in young!!

Trip to Utah

Here's a few pics from Utah. She had fun hangin with Grandpa and cousins Carston and Avery. She is also obsessed with waving at everyone and everything. The picture of her with the lime cracks me up. She loves EVERYTHING. We haven't found anything she doesn't like. Loves pickles, onions, limes.....

NewPort Beach, CA

These are at NewPort Beach in California. Hallie loved the beach (especially crawling around the sand and getting it everywhere)! She was pretty tired but it didn't stop her from following her cousins Carston and Avery everywhere!

Hi Family and Friends. We finally decided to start a family blog to keep in contact with everyone. We are currently living in Iowa City, IA. Aaron just finished his 2nd year of Medical School and will start his 3rd year of rotations in the hospitals tomorrow. We are so proud of him. He just took the Board Exam last Thursday and we are all so excited that it's over with!!! Hallie and I went to Utah and California to play while he studied and had way too much fun. Wish he could've come. Hallie is for sure missing all of the love and attention she got there. Anyways, we miss and love you guys!!
