FIRST PIGGY,SITTING UP,AND SHOTS...WOW!!!

SO, HOW SIMPLY CUTE IS THAT MINI PIGGY? I LOVE IT! I TOLD DADDY THAT I HAVE

WAITED FOR 6 1/2 MONTHS BEFORE I EVEN TRIED THIS AND I WILL MAKE A PIGGY

IF I HAVE TO STRETCH HER HAIR OUT....IT FIT AND "TADA" OUT CAME HER FIRST

MINI PIGGY EVER! I KNOW THIS CHILD DOESN'T HAVE A PRAYER WITH ME AS

HER MOM-I LOVE DOING HAIR, HAIR STUFF, ETC....SORRY, HALLE!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT FACE IS BUT ISN'T THE PIGGY CUTE. I THINK HALLE WAS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY I HAD TWISTED AND TANGLED HER HAIR SO MUCH...WHAT A SPORT!

THIS WAS THE ACTUAL FIRST PIGGY. DAD CAME HOME FROM WORK AND WE TRIED IT. DAD LOVED IT BUT WAS CONFUSED ABOUT THE TWO BOWS AND HALLE LOOKS PRETTY DARN HAPPY ABOUT IT TOO...NO SHE DOESN'T ALWAYS WEAR TWO BOWS-I LOVE THEM AND EVEN I THINK THAT MAY BE OVERKILL!

THIS IS HER SITTING IN BUMBO...HAPPY AS A FAT KID EATING CAKE AS DAD WOULD SAY!

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL GRIN AND THOSE CHEEKS....I KNOW, I WANT TO BITE THEM TOO!

SITTING IN THE TRIPOD POSITION-HOW THEY ALL START OUT~

I LET GO OF HER AND TO MY SURPRISE SEE SAT PRETTY GOOD BY HERSELF....

AND, SHE SAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE SHE BIT IT.....

SLEEPING AFTER SHOTS, SEE HER BANDAID. WE TOOK HER IN FOR HER 6 MONTH FOLLOW-UP ACTUALLY 6 1/2 DUE TO VACATION. SHE IS HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND STRONG. SHE DOESN'T SIT REAL GOOD YET, BUT ROLLS EVERYWHERE. SHE WEIGHED IN AT 17 LBS.(THAT'S UP 4.5 LBS SINCE HER 4 MONTH CHECK-UP!) AND SHE IS ALMOST 30 INCHES LONG.SLOW DOWN LITTLE ROOTS SHE IS A GIANT AND STILL THIN....HOWEVER, SHE WON'T STAND YET AND THE DR SAID BECAUSE HER LITTLE LEGS JUST CAN'T SUPPORT THAT LONG BODY YET, SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE WORK ON HER FITNESS...HAHA!

BEING A BIG GIRL AFTER SHOTS-OUCH!!

TUBBY TIME WITH PAPA!

HALLE JUST LOVES HER TUBBY TIME EVERY NIGHT WITH PAPA, AND HE LOVES TO GIVE HALLE HER TUBBY. IT IS A NICE LITTLE BREAK FOR ME AND ALSO JARED AND HALLE GET SOME TIME TOGETHER. SHE LOVES TO KICK HER FEET, SPLASH, EAT THE WASHCLOTH AND FLIRT WITH PAPA!

THIS IS HER FAVORITE THING TO DO WHEN PAPA IS DONE WASHING HER, SUCKING ON THE WASHCLOTH, PROBABLY DOES FEEL GOOD ON THE TEETH!

THIS PICTURE MAKES ME SAD, I HAVE ONE EXACTLY LIKE THIS FROM HER FIRST TUBBY, SHE HAS GROWN SO FAST. I HOPE IT SLOWS DOWN SOMETIME. SHE MAKES GETTING UP EVERYDAY WORTHWHILE FOR HER PAPA AND I. SHE IS OUR LIFE!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! HERE ARE SOME PIX OF THE BERNT'S THAT WE WENT AND SAW. JARED LOVED THESE GUYS AND EVERY YEAR WE GO AND PAY OUR RESPECTS HOWEVER, THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT SINCE WE GOT TO SHARE THIS TIME WITH HALLE. WE THEN WENT AND SAW MY GRANDMA'S GRAVE, HOWEVER THE CAMERA WAS DEAD. ALTHOUGH, IT WAS COLD AND RAINY WE HAD A GREAT DAY AS OUR LITTLE FAMILY PAYING RESPECTS TO THOSE WE LOVE!

FUNNY THING-JARED NOTICED HIS GRPA LEONARD DIED ON OUR WEDDING DATE ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED, HOW I WOULD OF LOVED TO MEET THAT MAN AND LOU, THEY MEANT THE WORLD TO JARED...WE HAD A GREAT TIME REMINISCING ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON!

GETTING THE TRUCK STUCK

THESE ARE A COUPLE OF PICKS THAT I TOOK FROM MY CELL PHONE, THE SHOULDERS WERE PRETTY MUDDY ON THE BACK ROAD UP TO THE CABIN, IN ALL WE HAD TO RIP OUT A TREE, GET A EXCAVATOR, PICK UP OUR BACK END AND SET IT ON SOMEWHAT DRY GROUND, AND THEN DRAG US OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN. WHAT A DAY!!

LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOT GOING UP TO THE CABIN THIS WEEKEND!!

THE BERNT MINI PUTT-PUTT TOURNAMENT

WELL, WELL,WELL! WE WERE PLANNING ON GOING CAMPING THIS WEEKEND IN ISLAND PARK, BUT DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER IN IDAHO, IT WAS CLOSED! NOT TO SURPRISING RIGHT? WHERE DO YOU GET 2 FT OF SNOW IN MID-MAY? IDAHO! WE DECIDED TO GO TO LAVA TO THE BERNT'S CABIN BUT JARED AND I TOOK HALLE UP TO CHECK OUT THE ROAD INTO THE CABIN ON FRIDAY TO SEE IF WE COULD EVEN GET INTO IT SINCE ALL OF THE RAIN. WE TOOK THE TRUCK UP AND IT WAS PRETTY DECENT, WE GOT UP TO THE CABIN AND DROPPED OFF THE SNOWMACHINES FOR THE SUMMER AND CHECKED THE CABIN AND WENT TO THE TRUCK TO HEAD HOME. WELL, ON THE WAY OUT JARED DECIDED WE SHOULD CALL AND SEE IF WE SHOULD PULL THE OTHER TRAILER HOME, YES WE SHOULD...SO WE WENT UP THE SIDE ROAD TO PICK IT UP-FYI DON'T EVER GO BACK FOR A TRAILER WHEN IT IS DOWNPOURING RAIN AND THE MUD IS SO GLOSSHY THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A PRAYER. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE GOT STUCK, CALLED KEN, THEY RIPPED OUT A TREE AND AFTER NO LUCK CALLED AN EXCAVATOR TO LIFT THE TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD...WHAT A DISASTER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO CAMPING...SO, WE WENT AND PLAYED MINI GOLF AND WENT TO THE NEW BAJIO RESTAURANT AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

RENAE MADE IT CLEAR, SHE GOT TWO HOLE-IN-ONE'S, MORE THAN

ANYBODY ELSE....

HALLE AND I JUST CHILLIN...

TREG'S HOLE-IN-ONE...

ALL DAY BRIDGETT RAN OFF TO PLAY BY HERSELF...WE DON'T KNOW IF SHE

EVER MADE A SHOT OR NOT....
