Thank you!

We really do have such AMAZING friends and family. Thank you for all of your help, phone calls, love and support, both known and unknown, it really means SO much! I think it's all under control now, just waiting for things to dry, and sorry for my little meltdown. :)

Really?

So Eric and I came home from church today, much like any other Sunday. We put Hallie down for a nap, changed our clothes, and I went to play on the computer for a bit, and was looking forward to take a nap. Eric went to pick up his pants that he was going to change into, only to find them sopping wet, then he realized the whole floor was soaking wet too. We've had problems with moisture coming through our wall, so we immediately started looking there. Eric happened to notice that our bed skirt was wet too, but from the top. So we immediately knew that our water bed had sprung a leak. The hunt for the hole came next, after much searching, we found it, a hole about the size of a thumbtack hole in the corner of the bladder of the bed. We tilted it up to stop the leak, took everything out of our bedroom, and I just sent Eric off to get a hose to empty our bed out, and a carpet extractor, so that we can clean under it. I mean, I know it really isn't that big of a deal. But really? I mean really? Finals start tomorrow, it's freezing outside, and snowing, and it'll be a couple days until the floor is dry, and our bed is dried out so that we can refill it. I'm trying very hard to see what I'm supposed to be learning from this, but I just can't see it yet. I just want to cry. But for now, I am just going to go get myself a bowl of soup from the crock-pot, snuggle up on the couch, and watch a movie, and pretend like this isn't happening for now. . . or at least til there is something I can do about it.

Bean Mustache

12.6.2009

Hallie LOVES black beans, why I'm not completely sure, but she LOVES them. But she is renowned at making a mess with them...

...as you can see. But she sure is happy!

Candy Necklace

After Erica's baby shower last Saturday Grandma gave Hallie a candy necklace. We all figured she'd just leave it be and wear it as a necklace. No, she figured out very quickly that she could eat it, and she LOVED it! We don't give her sweets very often, mostly because we don't think to, and partly because there is still so much to worry about with her allergies. But she thought it was quite the treat.

BYU Christmas Party with the Samuelson's

Every year, President and Sister Samuelson do a big Christmas party for all of the employees at BYU, they have entertainment, crafts, games, Cosmo, and Santa. We headed up on Saturday, thinking we could go see Santa there, but unfortunately we waited forever, and had to leave before Hallie could go sit on his lap. So we have a picture with him in the background. :) We had a good time overall though, it's always a fun time.

Daddy and Hallie with Santa (well sort of)

Tubby Time

This little girl still LOVES a bath!

Crazy hair!
I love her laugh!

Gross I know, but this picture totally cracks me up!

Where do kids learn these things, cause heaven knows

Eric & I don't walk around with our fingers up our noses all day.

Ouchy!

The other day (12/2/2009) Hallie went running out from her bedroom into the hallway, tripped over something, and fell into the door frame. It was a very loud crack sound, and I though it was for sure her head was split open. Luckily it wasn't but she got a pretty good goose-egg and bruise. But luckily she's fine, and after a good long cry, it didn't bother her again.

First walking ouchy!
