Life is busy lately, and since the weather is finally warm here in Utah, we have been getting outside a lot with the girls. They run out the door any chance they get when the weather is good :)

We went up to Grama and Grampa's last Sunday for dinner, and the girls loved playing with their cousins!! We were so excited to have my brother, John's family move back to Utah!
Cute Becca and Tommy

The guys discussing something, probably how wild the girls are :)

Singing a primary song with cousin, Alli :)
This was so cute, I spotted Bailey reading a book to Hallie one day, had to get a picture of that one!
Hallie is such a happy little thing, we just love her!
First time ever with pigtails! It was a miracle I got them in!
Mother's Day (yes, these pictures are totally random, hehe)
Hallie is on the move lately! She is doing an army crawl and rolls and rolls. She is also putting everything in her mouth, which forces us to keep a perfectly clean floor now :)

It is amazing that Gavin and I can keep up with our busy girls; we try our best :) We're so thankful for our cute daughters.

Gavin is starting his last week of the law school courses this coming week, and then we'll drive out to Arizona to take his tests and check out the area for housing. This summer is flying by!

We were also excited to get family pictures done with our friend Stacy Thiot before they moved to SF. Hop over to her cute photography blog for a preview: click here :)

Our Life Lately..

I have been neglecting the blog lately! We are busy with our girls and Gavin has started his ample course classes for Phoenix School of Law, which he will finish in about 3 weeks. He is really busy studying everyday, and hopefully it all pays off! We will drive out to Arizona in about 3 weeks for his tests and to check out the area for housing. If everything works out, we will be moving out there in mid-August! So cross your fingers :)

The girls are busy as ever and keep us worn out :) Hallie is 7 1/2 months old now, which has gone by too fast! She is so sweet and has quite a loud little voice :) Also, at her 6 month checkup, she was 90th percentile for her height, which is so crazy! Usually, our girls have always been about average or shorter, so she might be our tall one!

Bailey is so cute and busy and is Abby's little buddy. They love to play and wrestle, but they have their little disputes over toys and Mom's attention :) Bailey is a sweetie and loves to follow me around and help with Hallie. She is still a cuddly little girl, which we love :)

Abby is really growing up lately. She is so smart and is really catching onto a lot of concepts lately. She loves doing crafts and playing outside and with her little friends. She loves being a big sister too and is really cute with Hallie :)

Anyway, life is great, busy, but great.

6 months!!

Hallie turned 6 months on April 16!!! (I'm a little behind on posting this :) She is such a sweet little girl, and is really starting to show her personality. She laughs a lot and smiles big and is starting to roll over! She also likes to grab hair and pinch us, which is inherited from her Daddy :) She has quite the loud little voice these days and has started to have a little temper scream when she wants something, little naughty! We love you Hallie!!

Easter!

We had such a nice Easter this year! We were able to go to my Grandma's house for church and dinner and for the Easter egg hunt. My Dad was also able to come. We got a lot of cute pictures of the girlies, so sorry for the millions of pictures, but I just wanted to share :) The girls were soooo excited for the Easter egg hunt and to get their baskets from the Easter bunny. We heard some wonderful talks at church as well, and it was so nice to remember our Savior.

Gavin's Graduation 2011

Gavin graduated from BYU today!!! He finished his Bachelors degree in Biology. He felt so relieved when he passed all his finals this week :) We are so proud of you Gavin!! And are getting excited for the next stage in our life, law school :)

Love these girls!

For fun

Hallie woke up one morning, and bam! HAIR! Of course this is a set up picture, our girls don't grow hair until they are about 1 1/2. But, we can always dream :)

Mother's Day/Spring Show

I'm going to be selling some of my products from my Etsy shops at this boutique show on April 15/16. If you're still in Utah, you should come by to see all the cute vendors! There should be a lot of fun things on display! It is in a model home near the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.

Update

I've been neglecting our blog lately, mostly because I am just soooo busy with life. But, life is good. Gavin is graduating from BYU in a few weeks, and we can't wait! He has worked so hard at BYU, and we're proud of him!

We are still waiting to hear back from two more law schools, and we are also on a waiting list for a law school in Texas. But, we also have an offer to a school in Arizona where Gavin will take two online courses (actual law school courses), over a 6 week period and then he'll head out to Arizona to take a test, which if he passes, we are automatically accepted into their law school! Anyway, kind of a crazy time, but we are really thinking on going for the school in Arizona. We will start in the Fall of this year if he passes the test/courses, so will be moving most likely at the end of August! It is an exciting time, we are so ready to move onto the next step in finishing school, which seems like it will NEVER end :)

I'm really busy lately with my Etsy shops, which has been a blessing, but also stressful :) The girls keep me busy and are really at fun ages right now. Life is busy, but so good!

I always love General Conference, especially now that we have little kids, because getting a full spiritual and learning experience during our church meetings is a challenge with our busy girlies. Gavin and I talked about how we just loved feeling the spirit and being so uplifted by all of the wonderful speakers. I'm so thankful we are members of the LDS church, we are so lucky and I know it is such a blessing.
