Pre-school Graduation

We love Tiny Tot Tech! I can't believe the school year is almost done and she is a pre-school graduate! She graduated on May 11, 2010. It was raining and very cold, so her graduation was inside but still cute as ever! She was the loudest singer there and Ben, Steph and I knew all the songs too!





She loves her teacher Mrs. Hunter. She is so cute with the kids and teaches them a lot of things they need for kindergarten.

Here's Steph helping her with her hat . She had lots of support there from her grandma, grandpa and aunts and uncle.

She was a red crayon, although she wanted to be orange, but as Mrs. Hunter says, 'You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!'

Hallie's part was: And then came Christmas with all of it's fun, we were all excited for Santa to come! She did so good, we are so proud of her.

Here she is with her cute friend Hyrum. She made lots of good friends at pre-school and will miss them when she goes to kindergarten in the fall.

We had Mother's Day at Steph's house this year and I forgot to take any pictures until everyone had gone but Hallie, Gunner and I. Tony had gone to work and Hallie was over playing with some friends. I looked over and Steph had put Gunner's hair in a ponytail to prove to me it's cute and that I should not cut it. But he was super happy that afternoon so I had to snap a picture of his adorable grins.

Playin Farm

Just though I'd post these cute pics of the kiddies playin with Gunner's farm together. Hallie is such a good big sister so far! I love how Gunner loves her so much, his eyes follow her all over the room when she comes in. They're so cute together!

Love these babies!

Gunner's Blessing Day

Gunner was blessed on April 11, 2010 by his Grandpa Doug. He was given the name Gunner Jensen Meier. There were 4 babies blessed in our ward that day, so sacrament meeting was quite packed. We had a little brunch thing at our house afterward. We have a ledge that separates the kitchen from the living room and we (Steph and I) finally got it and the top of my cabinets in the kitchen decorated in time for the blessing. It turned out really cute and I really like it. I'm doing an Americana theme for the kitchen.




His cute little blessing suit was made by his Great Aunt Melanie, who is an amazing seamstress. She made Hallie's adorable blessing dress for her and many, many pairs of pajamas and blankets and burp rags over the years. This was just what I was looking for for him to be blessed in, and quite convenient because this way he didn't need a Easter outfit. :)


Here is our little family and a shot of Hallie's cute Easter dress from Grandma Cathy. She was excited to wear it to Gunner's special day since conference was on Easter this year.

I think sometimes Tony forgets he is not in the Army anymore and he CAN smile in pictures sometimes. :) It was a great day, thanks to all our friends and family who came!

Gunner's Greats

Had to post this adorable picture Steph grabbed on Easter. Here is Gunner Jensen Meier with his Great Grandparents, Boyd and Carolyn Jensen. I thought this was so sweet. Gunner is about 9 weeks old in the picutre.

I'll post about Easter and Gunner's 'very special day' aka his blessing day soon. Hopefully this week. 2 posts in one day is just too much for me :)

Disney on Ice

Yes, this happened over a month ago, but gotta get it down for the records. We had these tickets well before Gunner was born, so when March 10th rolled around we were kinda stumped at who was gonna take Hallie. I was out of the question cause baby boy was still so new he needed to eat all the time and if dad takes her alone it raises the question of what if she needs to go to the bathroom, yada, yada, yada. So anyway, Steph rose to the occasion, but secretly she really wanted to go :) They made a night out of it, went for dinner at Crown Burger and then headed over to the show. Steph talks a big talk but really has just as hard of time as I do saying 'no' to Hallie. After she had spent all the money we had sent with her, she got Steph to spend some too. She is a cutie and makes such a good argument when you ask her why she needs something! The girls had a good time and Hallie was super excited cause this Disney on Ice featured her favorite, Lightening McQueen and Cars! No princess's for this tomgirl! Steph said the whole second half was Tinkerbell and fairies and really Hallie could have cared less about that part. She loved Cars and Lion King the best. Thanks for stepping in, Steph! Hallie had a blast.

Here's the $12 cotton candy, but looks it comes with that sturdy hat that for sure didn't break before she even got home. It was a steal of a deal.



Here's the man of the hour.





And here she is waving bye to all of her new friends. This is one friendly little girl I tell you.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Late

Here are my three cuties on St. Patrick's Day, taking a nap. Hallie was tuckered after her party at school, and all the baby does is sleep! And dad will never pass up an opportunity to nap.





Gunner is two months old now! Time flies. Hallie is all registered for Kindergarten. I can't believe my babies are growing so fast. Here's some pictures from recently.






And here is Gunner meeting all his cousins...just didn't get a picture of Kaden.






And here is Gunner with his namesake, Great Grandpa Jensen. Grandpa gets very nervous to hold the tiny babies, so this picture is rare!
