Guessing game

So, we go in on Wednesday morning to find out what gender baby #2 is!! We are super excited and wanted to throw out there for everyone to participate and guess what they think it is going to be!! Right now we are really unsure but have started leaning more towards it being a boy. A disclaimer though-we will be more than happy with either a girl or boy!! (More fun for me and the Grandma's for shopping if it is a boy though!!) Anyway- let us know what you think and come Wednesday we will let you all know!!!

Peek-A-Boo

Halle has learned how to clean out her cabinet in the kitchen and hide in it. It is super cute and I am still ever so happy that I made that cabinet for her. It is filled with her pots and pans, and all of my plastic mixing bowls. (Great things for her to play with!!) She has also just gotten into wearing all the clothing that Grammy lovingly provided too!! the 2T's are a perfect fit, and some of the shirts show off her great little curves!! (LOVE IT!)

New Hair Do!

So it has been what...6 months...so in Samye world that means it is time for a change! Well that, and I have been getting major headaches with long hair and it takes forever to do so- with the help of my wonderful stylist Holly we came up with this new do!! It is super cute little bob and I LOVE IT! I feel like I have lost 5 lbs off my head, and I also feel stylish!! I am super excited to work with it and think I might keep the shorter do for a while. I know a lot of my family likes my hair long but, they aren't the ones with the headaches so- here it is!!

Diaper Trouble!

Had to post these pics, because Dustin and I were having the HARDEST time with it!! We went to the park to play and Halle got icecream...so we had to strip her when we got home so I could work some laundry magic and look what we found!! Halle's diaper had some major issues! Not being able to stay on her body...that is an issue. Especially since we are in size 5's...one of the biggest sizes!! Looks like it might be getting close to potty training time due to not being able to fit into diapers!!

Mommy points

Halle and I made cookies the other day...she loved licking the mixer more than eating the cookies (although she is eating a cookie right now for snack)!She has become quite the helper, very eager to please. We also had a cute happening at lunch today- I made her a sandwich, put it in front of her at the table, then went to get mine-when all of a sudden a siren went off. (the Halle siren) "mom...mom mom mom... amen. amen amen..." We hadn't said the blessing on the food yet and she was letting me know that we hadn't. So she actually knows that prayers happen before each meal...another mommy point for me.

Daddy's little helper

Halle has become Dustin's official grill helper. As you can see even though it isn't warm here we just couldn't wait to fire up the grill...makes it feel more like spring (well at least that it is on its way)! She loves being outside helping...which of course means being inquisitive about everything and letting you know exactley what she is doing. From- "Daddy I'm coming", to checking out all the "diddies (kitties)" outside she is very much a part of everything! We are excited for the warm weather to come back...it is suppose to be mid to late 70's later this week...so cross our fingers that it will continue to look warm so we can go to the park and play!!

Louisville, KY

It was a great spring break, and ending spring break we decided it was time to caravan to the temple. Our nearest temple is in Louisville Kentucky which is 2 hours away. So, we got up at 5:30 Saturday morning and took off. We followed our friends the Sayers down and got there about 9:00. No, Dustin isn't a slow driver-we had to go meet our friends at their place, etc..etc.. We got there and they went first while we went across the street to a church and played with the kiddos. (They have two cute little boys, Matthias and Beckham). Then, when they were done they came over and switched with us and watched Halle. We got finished around 1:30 and took off to get back home. We were so exhausted by the time we got home-but of course Halle was wide awake!! It was a great trip, but we decided next time that we were just going to hire a babysitter to watch Halle, that way it would just be a 6 hour trip.
