Rest of Utah

While Jared was off doing stuff for the military Hallee and I stayed with my family. We were constantly doing something. We went swimming, ate lots of treats, made a couple trips to Bear Lake, and much much more. The time went by so fast! It was fun to be able to spend everyday with Tara. She was a huge help with Hallee. Hallee is obsessed with her aunt "tawa" 

we were shopping at target and hallee came out of the toy aisle pushing this. Thank goodness for grammy'

We had a wonderful time in Utah. I'm so glad we were able to spend time with family and friends. It went by way too fast! Hallee loved being around everyone and went threw serious withdraws once we got home! 

Utah week 2

After spending time with Jared's family we went up north to spend a few days with my family. The boys played plenty of golf, we played in the gateway fountains, and made a trip up to Park City. The nice thing about being with my family is that Tara has her camera out for everything. I think she took over 200 pictures in the 5 weeks I was at my parents house.

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!
