beach details

During our visit to our families we got to spend the weekend at a beach house with my side of the family.  It was a nice little break to just relax a couple of days with family and visit the beach.  The weather was absolutely beautiful.  I was a little cold and windy, but that is to be expected, especially this time of year.  Hallie completely loved the beach.  She explored, enjoyed the sand, and even liked all the wind.  The first day at the beach she couldn’t get enough of the sand, she even crawled in it at one point.  The second day we let her get her feet wet.  She didn’t even seem to mind how cold the water was because she was so intrigued by it.  We all enjoyed watching her as Hallie discovered the beach.

These first pictures are from the first at the beach.  The pictures on the previous beach post are from the second day at the beach stepping in the water.

at the beach

Wow I have been a major slacker with the blog.  We went to Portland  a couple of weeks ago for a wedding and to visit our families.  We were very busy but had a blast.  Since we have been home we have been busy busy.  Hopefully I can get some more pics up and talk a bit more about our trip in another post soon.  Hallie is waking up though and I need to go.  For now enjoy seeing Hallie at the beach for the first time.  She loved every bit of it!

easter sunday

This weekend we got to enjoy staying home and listening to conference. It is awesome that this conference landed on Easter weekend, gives us a good opportunity to contemplate the real reason we celebrate. Conference was great.

Hallie has been sick since Tuesday and Berret and I have a little colds too. We are all getting better but since we are on the mend we were pretty low key this weekend. We had fun celebrating Easter with just our little family though. We had a little Easter bag for Hallie and spread plastic eggs all over. We didn’t fill up the eggs, no need for the extra junk for any of us. Hallie just loved tapping the eggs together and gathering them up in her bag. Then Berret and I had fun throwing them at each other. I made cinnamon rolls to snack on and Berret grilled salmon, asparagus, and pearl onions on the new BBQ. It was all really yummy and Berret did an awesome job with dinner. Enjoy Hallie’s Easter pictures!
