BABY HALLE PICTURES!!

WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH BABY HALLE YESTERDAY, AND I HAVE PICTURES TO POST. SHE IS SO GOOD!! WE WERE THERE FOR 5 HOURS, AND SHE NEVER CRIED. SHE DIDN'T EVEN WAKE UP WHEN I VACUUMED IN HER ROOM. PRATT ENJOYED GETTING TO PLAY AND EVEN CAME HOME TO SPEND THE NIGHT. GUS INSISTS THAT HE IS VERY GENTLE WITH HALLE AND HAS LOTS OF EXPERIENCE FEEDING BOTTLES SO, WE LET HIM TRY. HE IS A GREAT COUSIN. SAGE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE "BABBY SITTER" THAT IS IN HER TUMMY. SHE INSISTS THAT IT IS SITTER NOT SISTER. WE ENJOYED UNCLE CLAY COMING TO SPEND THE NIGHT ON FRIDAY. SAGE EVEN LET HIM SIT AND WATCH CARTOONS WITH HER WHICH IS QUITE UNUSUAL. (SO I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE). I ALSO HAD A CUTE PICTURE FROM CHRISTMAS DAY WITH UNCLE STEVE AND SAGE. SHE IS FINALLY WARMING UP TO THE HAIRY FACED GAILLARD MEN!

More Snow

WE GOT MORE SNOW YESTERDAY (4"). IT WAS THE 3RD SNOW IN A WEEK. THE KIDS & I WENT TO THE BARN TO TRY OUT THEIR NEW OUTSIDE TOYS. THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN. GUS GOT HIS FIRST "BIG BOY BIKE" FROM SANTA. WHEN I ASKED IF HE KNEW HOW TO USE THE BRAKE (SINCE HE WAS CONTINUALLY RUNNING INTO SAGE & I) HE SAID "YOU JUST PUT YOUR FEET DOWN." AFTER WE HAD A LESSON ON THE HAND AND FOOT BRAKE HE WAS MUCH SAFER.

SAHALA

OOPS!!

AFTER I POSTED EARLIER, I REALIZED I HAD THE WRONG BABY PICTURE. THAT WAS SAGE AND NEW COUSIN JETT (WHO SAGE KEPT THINKING WAS BABY HALLE TOO). I TRIED TO SCAN A PICTURE, BUT COULD NOT GET THAT TO WORK, SO NEXT TIME I SEE HER WE WILL GET HER PICTURE POSTED. HERE IS A PIC OF PRATT WITH HIS MCQUEEN SHOES THAT HE WORE TO THE HOSPITAL AND DINNER AND EVERYWHERE AFTER YAYA LET HIM OPEN THEM. HOLLY SAID SHE HAD SEEN THEM AT THE STORE THE WEEK BEFORE AND DID NOT BUY THEM B/C HE WOULD WANT TO WEAR THEM EVERYWHERE. NICE AUNT HALA DIDN'T CARE WHAT HE WORE:) SORRY GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN PICTURES.

NEW COUSIN HALLE NICOLE

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT HEARD, WE HAVE A NEW COUSIN, HALLE NICOLE (AKA FANCY). WE HAVE CALLED HER FANCY SINCE WE FOUND OUT SHE WAS GOING TO BE A GIRL, BUT HER MOM REFUSED TO PUT THAT ON HER BIRTH CERT. SO IT IS TAKING SOME PRACTICE REMEBERING TO CALL HER HALLE. GUS AND SAGE THOUGHT SHE WAS WONDERFUL, AND HER BROTHER PRATT THOUGHT SHE WAS PRETTY COOL AFTER SHE POOPED! I AM TRYING TO TALK MY SISTER INTO BLOGGING TOO, BUT UNTIL SHE GETS SOME SLEEP AND HAS TIME TO DO IT, I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THERE EXCITEMENT. GUS IS DONE AT HIS COUSIN CONNER'S HOUSE EXCHANGING NEW "TOY STORIES." THEY ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE EACH OTHER SO CLOSE. SAGE ON THE OTHER HAND THINKS THAT SHE AND COUSIN EVA SHOULD PLAY LIKE CONNER AND GUS. EVA (WHO IS 17) IS A GOOD SPORT AND PLAYS DRESS UP WITH SAGE (SAGE IN HER PRINCESS DRESS AND EVA IN HER FORMAL) THEY DID THIS ONE TIME AND NOW SAGE WANTS TO DO IT EVERYTIME. I DO HAVE PICTURES ON THE NEW BABY THAT WILL HOPEFULLY GROW UP AND WANT TO BE A PRINCESS JUST LIKE SAGE.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!1

OK, HERE GOES. MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION IS TO START A BLOG ABOUT MY CHILDREN, GUS AND SAGE. THEY ARE ALMOST 5 & 3, AND SAY AND DO GREAT THINGS EVERYDAY; SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A JOURNAL OF THEIR CHILDHOOD. I CAN NEVER REMEMBER TO WRITE THESE THINGS DOWN AND CANNOT REMEMBER THEM FROM WEEK TO WEEK, SO MAYBE I CAN JUST BLOG AS OUR LIFE HAPPENS. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR GETTING AN EARLY START ( YOU KNOW IT IS STILL 2007). SAGE AND I WERE DRIVING IN THE CAR TODAY AND SHE SAID "MOMMY CAN I BE AN ANGEL WHEN I GROW UP?" CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE DOESN'T THINK THAT SHE ALREADY IS? ANY WAY THERE IS THE FIRST SAGE-ISM THAT I WANT TO NOT FORGET!! SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT FEW POSTS I CAN MANAGE TO ADD SOME CHRISTMAS PHOTOS AND REMEMBER SOME MORE OF THE PAST BUSY WEEKEND. UNITL NEXT TIME.
