All Grown Up and... Starting Kindergarten!!

It happened. something I never thought would (ok, I never never thought it would). My little Brecken is a grade schooler. Wow. I am the mom of a grade schooler. I don't feel responsible enough. Mature enough. Old enough. But here she is, first day of school!...

(just so you know I told her I would do her hair however she wanted. However she wanted!! and this is what she chose. A pony tail. sheesh)...

Little Miss Confident...

And of course little sis has to get in on the action...

and as a side note... Brecken loves school... I hate homework... and she is really learning a lot!

Hallie: One week

Oh my Hallie! Time has just flown by. I have to post these pictures. Now, I've taken my share of newborn pictures, and let's face it, they just don't turn out very cute. Maybe it's my camera, maybe it's me, (maybe it's that newborns are a little funny-looking). But Emily Menzie is amazing, because she has captured the cuteness I see in my little newborn Hallie:

Awe.

Here's My Excuse...

So. It has been a while. Let me make a confession. For a while we were... how do you say... borrowing our neighbors wi-fi connection. Well, they moved. Wi-fi: gone. And being the frugal family that we are, we decided to just live with it (or rather without it). But there is one spot in our house, if you stand in the corner of our office, with the computer just so... Voila! Connection! Sometimes. Due to the iffy-ness of it... I (as you may note) have become a total internet slacker. Again.

But here I am, standing in the corner of my office, crossing my fingers that the connection holds, Blogging! So excuses behind... Now I'll post some real stuff!! (and probably not chronologically... we'll see)

Hallie Ann Harrington

She's Here! Our little Hallie was born a week ago today; July 2, 2010 at 6:42 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long.

Having this sweet little baby in our home has been so neat. Little newborns have such a beautiful spirit with them, and I love being able to have that spirit in our home.

Little Hallie is an angel!!! So with no further ado, are some pictures of our little one...

Can you sense the excitement here? :)...

But still tender...

Waving goodbye to the hospital...

This one literally makes me chuckle every time I see it, so I had to throw it in...

So peaceful...

We love you Hallie!!!!

A Day in Zion

For those of you wondering (probably none, so for my own record) this is what we did over Memorial weekend. It was so much fun! We spent the day in Zion National Park!! We drove up, got on the shuttle, did a little hike, a little more shuttle riding, a picnic, some more shuttle riding, and then home again. Such a good family day!! And here are a few of the pics:

I'll start off with some of our shuttle pics...

hehe...

Ok here's a good one, no finger in the nose...

to keep her occupied...

And the mode of transportation for our little one when not on the shuttle...

Me and the hub (I just really love him too)...

Just one, big happy family :)...

Thanks for the wonderful day hon!!!!

Our Little Girl Turns 5!!

Well, it's true. Brecken Dee Harrington turned 5 years old. And I thought it deserved its own post (a little late, but its own post none the less).

Let me just say that I just love my little girl. She is so sweet and helpful. She often says to me "Mom, you're my best mom in the whole world!" And it just melts my heart :) She loves being a big sister, she loves being a big helper, she loves playing with her dolls, with her daddy, with her cousins, she just loves everything! She got her dad's excitement for life! And boy do I love this little girl! So here she is on her big day...
