Hallie's Blessing Day

We finally found a weekend that worked with most of our families to bless little Hallie. So, my parents, my sister's family, and Kyle came. And Michael's parents drove down for it too. They hadn't seen Hallie yet, so we were excited for them to come visit. We had a fun weekend with family and lots of activity...and crying from Hallie. She was in her super fussy mode. Michael gave her half a blessing because she decided she wanted to sing right into the microphone. She is SOOOO fussy!!!!!! (Have i mentioned that before, not sure???) But she looked adorable.

Amanda and I. I think Hallie looks like an old fashion doll baby here, with the bonnet and the serious face. She looks like some old pictures of babies in my family.

Michael's parents and us

We went to do a kissy picture, but I remembered I had lip gloss on and didn't want to get it all over her dress!

Our first family picture since we have been a family of 6! Logan hates pictures!

Me and all the kids and cousins! I love Logan's face...he's a TURKEY!!

The baby was so done with pictures!!

We had a such a fun week. In 1 week we had Halloween, Michael's birthday, family come for the Blessing, and then the next day was Mallory's Birthday! I think I slept about 8 hours total for the whole week. I was wasted by the end!

Local Flavor

The weekend we blessed our little Hallie, we went to explore what our town has to offer....pretty much the London Bridge and the Lake! So that is where we took our families.

The Bridge is the actual London Bridge. If you google it, you can read all about it.

My parents

I guess it's a bit prettier than Yuma!

I think it is totally random that the McCulloch dude paid millions to bring this bridge over here!!!

My sisters kids and Mallory and Jillian. I was at the care with 2 very fussy babies.

The little teenie boppers!

Michael's parents came too!

So this is where it happened!!! While everyone was standing here looking at the peaceful lake, a party boat came under the bridge sharing the local flavor with everyone!!! I have warned people about the lake...we can't really go back. So, on this party boat were 3 or 4 topless girls with a lot of silicone bouncing all over the place. They were wearing pasties, which I am not proud that I even know what they are. I wouldn't google them either!! However, we still had a fun day and gave everyone great memories!

A's Game

We love to go to the firework A's game every summer. Unfortunately, Jillian was the only one that could go. Mallory was in the ER all night and so super sick, with a kidney infection and a nasty UTI...she couldn't even move for a few days. So, Jillian had tons of fun with Gramma and Papa, and Uncle Jeff and her favorite person ever...Auntie Megan!

She picked out an A's elephant puppet. Logan kinda took it over and loves it!

Jeff and Megan took her down on the field to see the firework show after the game.

I love purple fireworks!!

Fair Time

The girls got to go to the fair with Gramma and Papa. I didn't want to waddle around the fair chasing Logan who can't ride any of the dangerous rides! They had so much fun riding until they got sick...Mallory threw up all night, so badly! Don't think she can have nachos for a long time!!

They even enjoyed the sweet concert, Roy Clark! Jillian thought it was going to be a Taylor Swift concert....that would have been an awesome county fair concert!

Jillian saved her money to play all the little games to win stuffed animals. Her piggy is really cute!

I guess Mallory talked Gramma into letting her go on the crazy swings! Kinda scary, right?

Jeff and Megan showed up and played with the kids...made the girls night!

Silly kids! I sure missed out on all the fun!

Think this was the favorite ride of the night.

Mallory doesn't want ice cream for awhile either!!
