Photographic Evidence of a (Mostly) Good Weekend












We had a busy (but fun) weekend. The highlights included:


-Grandma was in town (my mom). On Saturday Hallie and I got to go to the little farm at Thanksgiving Point with her. We took a wagon ride, Hals gave the animals a lot of dirty looks, and she rode a pony on her own.


-We had a great big lunch at Kneaders. Between Dave, my mom, and me, we had four desserts. Don't worry, we were about to start fasting though so we deemed it necessary. Also, my mom and I had salads so that we could fool ourselves into thinking we could have more dessert. That's how it works, right?


-I went to IKEA for the first time with my mom. Oh. My. Gosh. Is all I have to say. I was a bit overwhelmed by the time we left.


-We then went swimming in the hotel pool. No pictures of this, because, well let's just say that my mom and I both had to keep our eyes on Hallie AT ALL TIMES. She was wearing arm floaties this time luckily, but that didn't stop her from jumping off the edge of the pool by herself whenever she felt like it or twisting her body into awkward positions just so that she could succeed in dunking her head under water. I tried to keep explaining that she couldn't do that until she learns to hold her breath, but she wasn't having any of it.


-Devin opted to go help his sister Mesha with her lawn. Driving big heavy machinery? Yes, please (for him). So he spent the day doing that.


-Sunday we had the baby blessing of baby Dallin. The only picture I have is the one of Devin holding Brelynn who is holding baby Brynlee. Keep that straight. They were also born on the same day, though Brelynn is 7 years older. Its a cute picture anyway. Hallie got to see the other set of Grandparents for that, plus lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. What a lucky girl. Grandparents to love and spoil her all weekend long.


-The un-highlight of the week is that Hallie is sick again. I think she has another UTI. Her symptoms are the same as last time, with the ridiculously high fevers. We are going to the doctor this afternoon to find out. A plus though is that I got her to go pee in her potty so that we can bring our own urine sample instead of waiting for hours at the office for her to produce. TMI? Sorry. The last three pictures are of her in her sick state. She wanted to cuddle, then she was done with that and wanted to sit in her own chair that Grandma bought for her this weekend. She then requested a blanket, then her baby. Then she was holding her baby and trying to feed it and cuddle with it and kiss it. I think she figured if she didn't feel well, neither did her baby.


That's all for now!

Oh no! Another UTI? That's sad. I hope she starts feeling better soon. By the way, I cannot believe how big she is getting... it's minimally ridiculous.

Poor lil' Hals! I hope she is feeling better! Those pictures are too cute! And yes... IKEA is AMAZING!!! We have several pieces of furniture from them! I only wish I had a store closer than 2 1/2 hours away!

Hope all is well Kimmie! Miss ya!

Sounds like a busy weekend! Too bad that Hallie was not feeling well though. Also, if she does get UTI's then how sad because those are so miserable! Hope you are doing well.
