First week of Utah

The last week of June we headed out to Utah. Jared was only able to stay for 2 weeks. We spent the first 10 days at his parents house. It was fun hanging out with family and friends. It was so nice to have Jared around all day! 

We celebrated Jared's birthday

Hallee and Aftynn meeting for the first time. Hallee couldn't get enough of her :)

Jared and Hallee swam everyday in the Roberts pool. She LOVES swimming.

Suzanne took us to the Gateway Discovery Museum. Hallee loved it!  

She definitely didn't like her picture to be taken that day. She was constantly scowling. 

We met up with Tams and had lunch and went to This is the Place Heritage Park. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them and see how big the boys had gotten!

Hallee riding her first horse she was a little nervous. This is when she became obsessed with horses or "neigh neighs" is what she calls them .

Riding the train

Swimming with the Ohrns

Feeding the ducks

We had our annual friend swim party and this is the only picture I got. It was a lot of fun to get to spend time with friends! 

Playing the piano with grandma.

June Happenings

 

We have some crazy storms here in Maryland. Sometimes they are pretty scary! After this storm I thought I would take Hallee outside and let her jump in the puddles. She loved it! She was soaked by the end! 

Of course Jared jumped in on the fun!

 Also in June Jared had his white coat ceremony. USUHS does the white coat ceremony after they finish their first year! It's crazy to think he is already done with his first year! It went by fast. 

Hallee just wanted to run around everywhere! It was definitely a very hot and humid day.

These three spent a lot of time together..studying, playing jokes, and an occasional argument:)

I definitely couldn't of made it through the first year without these two lovely ladies! I love the friendships that we have made out here!

We enjoyed Red Lobster after the ceremony! Hallee did surprisingly well.

Cooling off in the water after a long hot day!

Jared and Hallee on Father's Day

We took Hallee to feed the duck and she was in heaven. They would get super close to her and it didn't even scare her!

A couple of times we had to stop her from joining the ducks in the yucky water.

She was not a happy camper when we left :)


The day before we left for Utah was Jared's birthday. We went downtown to the Air and Space Museum. It was cool to see all the different airplanes. 

Anytime Jared would take a picture of Hallee she would get down on her knees..it was hilarious! 

She loved the Jets!
We had a great day of just the three of us before we headed to Utah! 

May Happenings

So I have a lot of catching up to do. I just got back from spending the summer in Utah. While Jared was away doing Military stuff. So I will post the exciting things we did in May and June and then go into detail about our summer in Utah! 

For Mothers day Jared got me a plane ticket to Missouri. Hallee and I flew down there for a week! It was so much fun! We did all sorts of crazy things. Hallee sure loves her Aunt Tara! Here are just a few pictures from that week..i'm pretty sure Tara took 300 pictures in a week:)

They have a fun petting zoo..Hallee loved seeing all the animals.

She was a little nervous feeding the baby goats:)

She is obsessed with their dog. They would look out the window all day! Jlo was so good with Hallee!

We had a blast! We ate out, shopped, made bows, Tara gave me a manicure and pedicure! It was such a fun week! I wish so badly we lived closer!

He did it again...

Back in January Jared broke his scaphoid- a small bone in his wrist..

playing basketball if anyone is surprised.. 

I told him he needs to take playing sports down a notch. 

So the beginning of February till June 2 he had his cast on. A little too long if you ask us. It's supposedly a slow bone to heal but after casting the entire thumb and a bone stimulator it finally healed! It seems that when I get pregnant Jared gets hurt :) With Hallee, was the knee blow out and now this one, his wrist. He will now be banned from playing sports when I get pregnant :)

1st day of his cast

for the 1st 2 weeks he had it all the way to his bicep 

Being in the military he decided for camo cast for 2 weeks

then a black one

then after that we stopped taking pictures. He had it switched every 2-3 weeks for those months he had it one.

 He was such a tropper.. he was still very helpful with Hallee! I only heard him complain a handful of times. He is now in a brace but can take it off throughout the day. We are hoping that he can play golf and basketball when we are in Utah.

Way Behind

 There have been many reasons why I haven't been blogging lately..We only have 1 computer and Jared has been super busy with school and I'm very tired by the time I get to use the computer.  I hope I can be better from now on out. So I'll combine some things into one post.

My mom came out the end of April for a week. It was SO nice to have her here. Hallee loved having her here and followed her everywhere. We had a blast..we went to Annapolis, shopping, out to lunch & dinner, she watched Hallee for us so we could go out, we just had a blast! It was so hard to have her 

leave. Hallee and I were both very sad! 

She took us to dinner for our anniversary at the Outback

Cuddle time with grammy

She was always playing with grammy's stuff

Playing in a fort Jared made

After church

After my mom left we went to the Airplane Park with the Farnsworths. The park is awesome! The take off strip for the Reagan Airport is right there.  We enjoyed a picnic and watching planes take off. Hallee loves airplanes and loves to point them out in the sky. She was a little nervous because it's really loud but she loved watching them take off. 

helping herself to the pasta salad :)

Hallee is also obsessed with baby Tolman. She loves to give him kisses. I'm hoping she likes her baby sister just as much.

I'm slow on updating because...

(this is how I told Jared...took him awhile to notice it)

We are very excited! So far I've been feeling ok.  I'm nauseous and exhausted, especially trying to keep up with little miss Hallee.

 Here I am at 12 weeks.

14 weeks

17 weeks...having a feeling it's gonna be a boy

19 weeks

and below, here I am now at 20 weeks.

 Today we found out that we are having.....

a baby girl! 

We are so shocked! We thought for sure it was a boy..but we are so excited for Hallee to have a little sister!

Our next little missy will be here October 9th! 

 

4 Year Anniversary

While his parents were here we celebrated our 4th year of being married. Wow does time fly! Jared had a full day of school so that night we went to the temple with his parents. Best way to spend our anniversary! We were able to do sealings, what a great reminder of what happened 4 years ago! 

The beautiful sunset as we came out of the temple!

Pretty sad to admit this but this was our first time to the DC temple together since we moved here!

This past year has been crazy with moving across country and Jared starting medical school. We have definitely grown closer and our relationship is stronger! 

We are hoping to get away for a night while we are in Utah this summer. I'm hoping my anxiety of leaving her will go away :)
