such a girl

It is so fun having a girl!  Hallie loves to play with make up brushes and uses all sorts of tubes and chap stick containers to pretend she is putting on lip gloss.  She also really enjoys getting her toenails painted.  While I do her nails she sits still and watches me so intently.  When they are all done she says WOW so proudly and loves to show them off to who ever she can.  She is still a well rounded girl though, with her regular growling, enjoying the roar of engines, and playing with all things monster.

   

In this very last picture you can see her molar.  It seems so huge to me every time I see it in her mouth.  The molar on the other side just started cutting through yesterday.

visiting oregon and washington

In July we got to go visit our families in Oregon and Washington.  On our trip we had fun geocaching, playing on the waterslide, picnicking at Battleground Lake, jumping on the trampoline, Hallie played with her cousins, went to Berret’s uncle’s concert in the Crystal Ballroom, jumped on the trampoline, picked blueberries, celebrated Jill’s and Gabi’s birthdays, eating at Truffle Hunter, shopping, and just enjoying our families.

Earlier this summer on Father’s day we got to go to Yellowstone with Scott and Erica for the day.  There was lots of driving but we all had a blast talking in the car.  We caravanned with some of Berret’s work friends.  It was actually the first time going for everyone in our car.  There was lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife.  We ended the day at Old Faithful and warming up in the lodge.
