I can remember the joy I had in my heart and how I could hardly take my eyes off her. It was a love and joy that is so amazing (so much better felt than told), and if it can even be possible, a love and joy that only continues to grow more and more every day. She has brought so much joy to our home, and Kyle and I both feel so blessed that we can say she is ours. I know she will make many mistakes in her life as I do mine, but I always try to encourage her to be the best she can be, love with all her heart, be a friend to everyone, tell the truth no matter the consequences, respect your elders, and most importantly to always Love and Fear the Lord.
Happy Birthday Hallie Ann!!!!!! Dad, Mom, and Hannah Claire love you more than you will ever know. You are such a joy to be around, and I always look forward to your good morning kisses, funny personality, and your sweet bedtime prayers. Thank you so much for all the joy you have brought to our lives. We hope you had the best birthday ever!
This photo was taken this morning before she left to spend the day with Grandmother for "Hallie Day"...she was so excited!
Last Saturday we celebrated with a slippin and sliddin beach party. Many of her friends got to join us, and the kiddos seemed to really enjoy theirselves. Hallie had a ball and would love to have this kind of party every weekend.

Look at these handsome fellas...they all had a ball

Some of the parents in the shade watching the kids slide...We felt so priviledged to have such a great group of people at our home
Gathered around to watch Hallie open her presents...Thanks again to everyone for such sweet gifts! However, spending time with Hallie was what made her day so special...She loves her friends and I feel so fortunate that she has the best kids in the world to grow up with!
Reading her cards...Hallie is like me...she loves cards and loves to read every word
