SOLD

We bought a house! We closed this past Monday, September 21 and got the keys on Wednesday. (Long story there.) It was a quick process, I was driving around one day with my mom and Hallie, we saw the house, grabbed an info sheet, made an appointment for the next day, saw it, loved it, offered on a Thursday and we were under contract on Monday! It is just our size, big enough to welcome one more baby and very nice. Hallie is very excited about her new room! It's right next to Woodruff Elementary, which will be good for us next year. Pictures to come! We are moving and everything is in a mess right now. :)

Four Year Old Pictures

Hallie had her 4 year old pictures taken last week! We went out to a farm in Paradise, since this year Hallie has been really into the cowgirl motif. She's got the boots, belt, belt buckle and of course, hat. We went to Vickie White's farm, she works with Steph, and I love love love how they turned out! They are so Hallie right now and now we can always remember what a cute little four year old cowgirl she was! Only problem is she has a very 'forced' smile right now. It's cute, but very obviously forced. Oh well. That's how she smiled at this age, and now we captured it. :)

This is the one Grandma Cathy wants for her 5X7. I'm not crazy about the red on red, but I do like that her smile is the most 'natural'.

Love the sepia color and that old wheel barrow looks so 'cowgirl'! Hallie didn't like walking through the weeds, she would tiptoe and say "Pokeys, no pokeys."


She's a sarcastic little thing! We asked her to show us how old she is and this is what she came up with. Little bugger.



She got a little sick of it near the end, and in this one was complaining that the sun was in her eyes. Problem solved! So cute.



This is the same one from up above, but in color. It's my favorite I think. Thanks so much for letting us use your farm, Vickie! I love how they turned out.

Here are the crazy cousins on Labor Day at Grandma Cathy's, for once all enjoying SHARING a turn on the trampoline. A bunch of cuties!

And for those of you who haven't heard via Facebook, ;) the little bun we have cookin is a BOY! We are so excited to meet him, and Hallie could not be more thrilled for a baby brother. We can't wait for Feb. 13, 2010!
