How Halia gets around....

Our little Halia is still not walking, but she has no need she is so good at getting where ever she needs by scooting and she is getting so fast and gets her bottom so high in the air, especially when she is excited. It is really funny and entertaining. She even does it in the snow, hilarious!! It fits her SUPER HAPPY personality! To see how she gets around go here.

New Year!

I love Honeyville, it is such a beautiful place to live!
 We didn't do anything super spectacular for New Year's eve. Quincy LOVES pizza so we went to go get pizza but it was like a 45 minute wait and she was just soooooo hungry, so we went to Moores in Perry.  We really like going there, Quincy likes it because it is next to an old old falling apart house and she thinks a witch loves there....she likes to see it and say hi. :)  She also loves to count the coffee cremes and jams. Halia loves it just because it is where she can get some food, she loves food! So we went there and then we went home and watched Night at the Museum, Quincy was excited because it had a dinosaur in it, but then she was to scared.  So she had ice cream and went to bed.  Super exciting! It was fun to be with my little family!
 We are snow people.... Tony LOVES snow and I played in the snow for hours and hours at a time growing up, and the girls loves snow, too!  Halia even scoots in the snow as good as she does anywhere else!!!!!
 It is so nice that we have a perfect little sledding hill across the street at the church!
 Poor Halia went face first in the snow the first time she went down, but she only cried for a minute and then was ready to go again!


 Quincy got this chalk/white board for Christmas and they both love writing on it. They have been so good to share their things they got and it has been so cute to watch them really play together, no that Halia is growing she is more fun to play with, according to Quincy.
We had a pretty decent year and I am so grateful for the people around us and all our other blessings. Can't wait to see what the new year brings! Hopefully it doesn't go by as fast as 2012 did!

Christmas Day!!

Both girls were so excited, Halia seemed more into everything than Quincy did when she was that age. It was so fun to watch how excited she was, every time she ripped the wrapping paper she said uh-oh and then that immediately turned into a big wow!
 
 Quincy was super excited about getting a pop-gun!  Both girls, really enjoyed going through their stockings more than anything else I think.  Apparently they both love candy necklaces, they were both so shocked and excited about them it was so funny!
 Ready to go to Granny Marsha's in their outfits from Santa!
 We always go have breakfast and open gifts with most all of Tony's family, the kids love seeing each other and it is a fun time! Halia got a fun scoot car that makes grocery store noises, both girls love it! Quincy got a microphone, she LOVES singing, so she was super excited, but really shy about having everybody watch her.  At home though, that microphone doesn't get much rest.:)
The kids had to take a turn, they weren't as shy as Quincy at first.
 At my moms they each got their own jewelry box that has the ballerina inside and spins to music, just like what I had when I was little!
We also still went to my Grandpa's house Christmas day, he had already picked stuff out for all the kids.  They were pretty excited to get an outfit and stuffed animal!  Grandpa loved to find good deals and buy a bunch of it, He loved buying and giving stuffed animals, most of my kids' stuffed animals are from him. I love that fact.  Last Spring I took my mom to his house to visit and he gave my girls each a little blue stuffed bunny.  They love them and play them here and there, the other night Quincy climbed into bed and then started panicking because she didn't know where that blue bunny was, we quickly found it and she hugged it as tight as she could and said, "O it's ok, bunny, Grandpa Ralph is happy and still loves you...."  Everyday I am blown away by her sweet spirit and the things she says.:)

Fun Christmas Eve!

We always go to my parents for Christmas eve, it is always loud, chaotic, crazy and pretty fun!!
All the Grandchildren with Grandpa and Grandma!! Some of the best grandparents in the world!
The kids thought it was so fun to see how many could fit in the octogon table:)
My Aunt and Cousin and her family came to enjoy the night with us, they have lived in Nevada for a long time and live here now, it is so fun to get to see them more often!!!

The kids exchange gifts with each other and it is sooo fun to watch how much they love each other and what they get from one another, I made these fun hats for these two darlings!
