Fun at the St. George Children's museum

For about the last month Halle has been ending up in our bed just about every night. We love snuggling with her, but you can see from this picture why many nights we don't get very good sleep! Somehow she often ends up horizontal. How does that happen?? But we love our girl so much we just keep letting her come back to sleep with us!

Planet cake bites

My sister Jamie is such an awesome aunt! She babysat for us yesterday and made "planet" cake bites decorated with colored chocolate (because Luke is really into the solar system lately) with the kids. So fun! And they are delicious too. Luke and Halle loved it. These kiddos are very loved!

Sweet girl

Halle drew this cute picture today of her and me together. I love how she got the hair color right, the eye color, such a good artist and smart girl. I asked her why my mouth was open and she said because I am saying thank you :). 

Halle is such a sweet girl and I love her to peices. She lights up my life and I am so grateful to have her. She is such a spunky, fun girl but also has a very sweet and tender side to her and I love that about her. I love being her mom. Love my girl!

Girly girl

I told the kids to go her ready and Halle came out like this. Ready to hit the town!

Sleeping Beauty

A few nights ago the kids got to bed late and were pretty tired getting up. Luke woke up before Halle and, as usual, was all excited to wake her up. So he ran into our room where she was sleeping (lately Halle ends in our room on our floor almost every night because she is scared at night). Luke ran in there and woke her up. A few minutes later she stomped out with her bed head and said, "Luke! You woke me up from my sleeping beauty!"

Luke started giggling and told her she meant her beauty sleep.

Tonight as I was putting her to bed and laying with her (I have to lay with her every night so she can fall asleep because she is terrified of witches) she had almost fallen asleep, and I coughed. She turned her head to me and said frustratedly, "Mom, don't cough! I was falling asleep and you woke me up from my beauty sleep!"

Looks like our sleeping beauty got it right this time. :)
