Just some pics I caught of Hallie while going to see the ducks. She LOVES to see ducks. All day long we hear, "quack, quack" until we finally go see them. She gets so mad though that they don't want to get out of the water and just come chill right next to her. She constantly yells, "out!" at them as loud as she can hoping they will listen to her. Maybe if she yells loud enough, they will obey her.

Birthday, Friends and More..

Here's some pics from my birthday. What a fun day we had. I was spoiled rotten. I have such sweet family and great friends. I can't believe I'm 25! I remember when I met Aaron in class and he was turning 25. I thought that was SOOO old (I was 19). And now here I am at that same age. And I finally got some pictures of some of my friends. All the law students that are leaving had a little party and so I had my camera. It's sad that I've lived here for over 3 years and have like no pictures of my friends. Just Hallie and their kids. (Pictured is Tricia, Amie, Andrea, and Sarah and then Candice and Amie in the other.)
Hallie's been so lucky to get to play with lots of her friends lately. She LOVES to play with Rocco and Drew. When they came over she insisted on holding them. Still doesn't realize that they're a little too big but we humored her. As you can tell, she loves to give them kisses too. I should also mention too that Hallie wants to wear her "Rocco Roll" shirt from the March of Dimes every night (it has his picture on it). Abby lives below us and will be moving soon. We will be so sad. She loves to ride her bike with her and yell her name everyday as we walk up to our house.

We've just been hangin out lately. Enjoying the nice spring weather. I am just about 30 weeks now. Getting closer and can't wait! Here's a few more fun pictures:

Hallie loves to get her potty seat and sit on the toilet. Well, she got a little impatient waiting for me to come help her and tried to do it herself. This is what I found when I came into the bathroom. ooppps...! She had gotten the stool, forgotten to put her seat on top and forgot to take her pants and diaper off. Poor thing. It was pretty funny. I felt bad I was laughing so hard while she was crying and trying to figure out how to get out of the toilet.

Utah Trip

I seem to have gotten a little lazy in the blogging world. Life has just seemed to be so busy lately that I feel like I haven't had a second to myself. So...I've been home for awhile now, but here's some pics from our trip to Utah. It was so fun to just hung out with family and friends. Always so much fun. As usual, I took way too many pictures. It's super late and I'm tired but have to check this off my "to-do list". So I just sorta slapped them all on here. Nothing fancy! oh well.

If ever I couldn't find Hallie, I knew right where she was. She would sneak downstairs to my Grandps (he lives in the basement apartment), find the stool and manage to reach the tub of Red Vines on the counter and help herself. A few times she'd pull my grandpa's finger to come help her with the lid, and if he saw me he'd say, "oh a little licorice never hurt anybody".

It was so fun to see all the in-laws. It seems that I never whip out my camera though! And when I try, miss Audrey won't ever let me take a picture of her :0 You turd!

This was the first time that Hallie seemed old enough to enjoy playing and remember her cousins (my sister's kids). And oh my is she ever obsessed with them now! Avery is a year older than Hallie and they play so cute together. Hallie discovered Avery's "big girl" bed one day and we found them in it reading stories together. My personal favorite is that Avery has taught Hallie how to pretend to be a cat, a dog, and a duck. Hallie followed her and Carston around everywhere. Macy is a year younger than Hallie and the bottom picture says it all! She always insisted on holding her and didn't quite realize that she's not so much a little "baby" anymore. Poor Macy. Hallie is literally obsessed with babies. We hear "Maymee" (Macy) quite a bit at our house.

Hallie's other obsession besides babies...SHOES! She's quite talented to walk around in those suckers! She loves to try on everyone's shoes. Lately when I'm getting ready in the morning, she will go in my closet and try on just about every pair of shoes I own and walk around the house in them. It keeps her quite entertained!

My parents took the kids to the Children's Museum one day and they had a blast. Not to dis the museum here, but after going to this one well...it's pretty nice! Hallie had a blast. They had a huge water table that she could've spent all day playing at. She loved it.

Poor Hallie was so spoiled in Utah, it was hard for her to adjust back to only me all day. She was sure excited to see her daddy though. Cute Aaron made her a toy while we were gone though and she loves to play with it everyday! We also finally got rid of the binky when we got home (after some coaxing from my sister Natalie)! Hooray! I did it. And it was so much better than I thought it'd be. I had her throw it away in the big garbage can outside and explained that binkies were for babies and she's a big girl now. I took her to the store and let her pick out a toy and stuff. It's been really good. Everytime we walk past the garbage can though, she points to it and says "binky, baby". It's pretty funny.

Anyways..there's a lot of random post! I can check it off the list of things done!
