Grocery Helper

6.11.2010

Hallie has hit that point where if Eric isn't around, we just don't go grocery shopping. Typically I leave both of them home, it's just easier that way. But Eric LOVES WINCO, and wanted Tillamook ice cream (WINCO is the only place in Utah to buy it), so we all went and did a fairly large shopping trip. Hallie got fidgety in the shopping cart and wanted me to carry her, and I told her no. After some major whining, and a long talk, Hallie and I came to an agreement, she could get out of the cart as long as she held onto the cart.

This is how she interpreted that...

She loved to push the cart, and was being such a big helper. It actually worked out quite well.

A Favorite...

This is one of my all time favorite quotes. I had been looking for on and off it in my stash of quotes, and I finally came across it today. Now I'll always be able to find it. :)

The whole talk can be found here.

Proof

Here is proof that we actually were at my high school reunion. Kind of not the cutest picture ever, but whatever. :) Hallie had been playing with bubbles and rubbed them into her eyes. We were headed to the bathroom to clean her up. Anyway, just thought I'd share. :)

Provo High School Class of 2005

6.5.2010

It seriously amazes me how quickly time flies. I can't believe it's been five years since I graduated from high school, but on the other hand, I can't believe it hasn't been longer than that. After some internal debate, we decided to go to my reunion. We had a great time, and had a lot of fun visiting with some old friends. It's always fun to see where people are, how they've changed, how they haven't changed, meet spouses, play with their cute kids, etc. I was glad we went. But did I take any pictures? Of course not, that would be silly. It totally slipped my mind, the camera was in our bag, but it never made it out. So we took some pictures at home after we got home. :)

How did she get to be so grown up?

Just us

Who knew that five years after high school that this is where I'd be? I couldn't ask for anything better!

Horseshoes

6.4.2010

Ever since I've known Eric he has loved to play horseshoes, and he has since talked Chad into playing with him. They have fun. So Eric and Chad wanted to go play horseshoes at the park, so Hallie and I decided to go along.

Unfortunately this is how Hallie felt about it

She was not a happy camper. I don't ever remember why, I think because I made her leave her shoes on or something insignificant. (I was informed it was because I wouldn't let her hold the bubbles) So we went back home and let the boys enjoy their horseshoes.

Finding Sanctuary

Such a great talk.

Hallie's First Cookie

6.1.2010

Before Eric came home Hallie and I made cookies. We happen to come across a allergy-free cookie mix, so I thought that would be something fun for Hallie. So she got her first taste of (semi-) homemade cookies.
