Kelli Baker Audition

I don't even know where to begin.

Watching this girl dance gives me chills. It's so beautiful when people are doing what they are alled to do and you can tell that this girl is meant to dance. I so bad wish that I took dance instead of gymnastics my whole life. I started dancing in highschool and fell in love with it but I could never do it as a career because I have no background and could never compete with girls like this but I have this crazy passion for it and love it tremendously. I'm calling it now...well...maybe not but I hope she wins because she inspires me.

she makes me smile.

**sorry about the nudity...but she's just too cute 

Hallie gave me her cold. So we're both sitting around here with stuffy noses and scratchy throats. wah wah. So to entertain ourselves we decided to watch the top 100 songs of the 90's on vh1. Here's the top 10:

10. Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
9. Losing My Religion - REM
8. Waterfalls - TLC
7. Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
6. Baby Got Back - Sir Mixalot
5. Vogue - Madonna
4. I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
3. I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys
2. One - U2
1. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana


good times.

Last night I couldn't get miss hallie to go to sleep, so for some odd reason I decided to take off her clothes and snuggle her in a blanket and put her in her swing and this is the result...sleeping, thumb-sucking, baby girl :) She's so stinkin' cute.

... and this is for my mom

Hallie has a cold :( I had that dang booger ball out all night trying to suck it all out but her head is just congested. It's kinda funny though because she sounds like an old man snooring when she sleeps {don't worry, she can still breathe...I check on her every 5 minutes} sooo I guess I have to put some saline drops in there and keep booger-ballin' her. I think they need to make a human booger ball for my husband. He is always sniffling. hmm maybe I should market that? or buy him a box of tissues.

I love this show and it starts TOMORROW.

Matt and I just had dinner and we came to a conclusion: our children are going to live in never neverland FOREVER! They are never going to grow up. I can't imagine when Hallie is older. I understand now why my mom always says "but you'll always be my baby girl" {i get it mom}


{to live, would be an awfully big adventure}

"In your presence God, I'm completely satisfied..."

I need more of this.

{birthday day}

Happy Birthday to ME! I love birthdays. My birthday started at 5AM with a hungry baby. {did i mention she's so beautiful?} Anyway we had to get up at 6 to get ready to go to crown point to Matt's great great uncle's funeral. I never got to meet unlce willie but I have heard many crazy war stories about him. Hallie was crying for the whole service so I had to go into the basement of the funeral home by myself in the dark--creeeeeepy--we survived. After the burial we ate lunch and took a much needed nap! Naps at grandma's house are always the best. After the nap we drove home and ordered pizza and had cookie cake and opened presents! My amazing husband got me a nifty little camera (see picture) and tickets to JOHN MAYER this summer. I'm SO excited. I love it when he gets me gifts that we can share...now who wants to babysit July 5th?
So the birthday was a grand success. Once again, everyone made me feel like a spoiled birthday princess. awesome!



now..sleep..

one.

Hello! So I gave in and decided to start a blog. I figured I should join the crowd. :) So here's the Hallie update: she has discovered her thumb. She has been sucking on her whole fists for the past couple weeks but yesterday and definately today she has been sucking her thumb. I can't stop it...she's going to be a thumb sucker. She is definately her father's daughter. Matt loves to take his socks of after he gets into bed, so everytime I change the sheets I always find a collection of socks. Well yesterday when Hallie was taking a nap, I went to check on her and she had kicked her socks off and was sucking her thumb. She is absolutely amazing. I love being a mommy.

Well I hope I can keep up with this and fill everyone in on the little, everyday happenings of our lives.
