Some Hard Times...

My sweet Grandma who I've lived with since I was 10 passed away on July 5th. Hallie and I came and have been able to be here with family. It's been really hard and sad, but we know that it is such a good thing and that she is much happier now and in no more pain. Thanks to all who have given such love and support at such a difficult time. Here's just a few pics.

Fourth of July

Well, we actually got to celebrate this fourth of July. Last year we were in the hospital with our new babe, and the year before that we were coming back from Utah. So we had a fun time. We went to the softball game in the morning, went to the parade (which was Aaron's first because he said he would never go until he had kids. (hooray for Hallie)). Then we went to Dr. Hunter's house for a fun barbeque with all our friends and then the fireworks! It was a fun day. I think that Hallie's favorite part was all of the candy at the parade. This parade is quite different than the Utah parades. There's not really any floats or anything. Just candy, candy and more candy. We were so lucky that Aaron was able to have it off and not work!! Here's a few pics of a few friends from Iowa. (Grace, Luke, Tommy, Tucker and the Sparks!!)

"THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY"

Happy Birthday to our cute little Hallie. She turned 1 on July 3rd. We had such a fun day. We went swimming with some friends, had a little party, went to Aaron's softball game and opened presents. I can't believe she is already one. It goes by so fast. She is doing so many fun things and for sure keeping us busy as ever.
