Halle's 8th Birthday Part 1

Halle wanting a big Birthday Party for her 8th Birthday. We had girls, giant bubbles, games, snow cones and pizza! Wow, that was exhausting.

Halle really wanted some flip flops!

Giant Bubbles

The girls loved the Bubble station. This post is in 2 parts. I couldn't download any more pictures.

Halle's 8th Birthday Part 2

The girls had to find a piece of gum in whipping cream.

Hunter and Lauren taking charge of the snow-cone station.

The girls loved the snow-cone station and Jason was a regular there too.

Halle's official Birthday was on Sunday. It seemed like we celebrated her Birthday for weeks.

Halle got a new pair of black cowgirl boots. She loves them!

Halle trying out her new scripture bag and scriptures.

WOW, it was early in the morning for a new 8 year old.

Last of all a new scooter. Now she can dump the Barbie scooter (how embarrassing).

Halle doesn't love cake or ice-cream, she prefers donuts, but it was Sunday and Mom loves Chocolate! Sorry Halle, maybe next year you can have a Texas Donut!

Call for these girls- they are awesome party planners.

4th of July 2011

This is the new way to watch parades. We were in an air conditioned building looking down on the common folk, watching the 4th of July parade. The best ever!

We went with our friends hiking after the parade. It was so much fun.

Check out the Poppy. I love poppies. I want this poppy in my yard. If you see me in jail for digging up flowers in the forest, bail me out.

Try and keep up with those two guys.

Here is the rest of the crew trying to keep up with Jason and Ryan.

We hiked 3/4 of the way up before we had to turn back because someone had fallen off the waterfall. So we turned around and had lunch at a little park on the side of the road.

We started up again and finally reached the top.

- The Speirs

Hunter had to find a bush to potty in, Jason was helping her.

-The Murdock Crew

What is Halle wearing? It was almost as bad as the polygamist in their jeans and dresses that were hiking too.

The weather was great on the way up but it was a little hot on the way down. Scotty was done. Cami is concerned about her hair.

On the way down the Murdock Crew had a few minor problems.
I got to help carry Lola down the mountain. She is the cutest thing on earth. If I could kidnap that baby with out going to jail, I just might do it.

We finally made it down. It was so much fun. I love hiking in the mountains. It was great. I hope that this will be our new 4th of July tradition.
I will be calling you, Cami and Summer so don't hide from me. Get excited!

The Farm

For FHE we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins Farm with the Barlow girls.
Jason is showing off his skills.

Halle and Hunter take horseback riding lessons so they were professionals.

Micaela

Lauren

Hunter loves riding.

These two girls are so goofy together, but I love it. You are only a kid once.

Halle loves the swing too.

Then we went to a neighbors house that has KANGAROOS! The girls were a little nervous but then they were super excited.

Cute baby kangaroo. We did a lot of petting and sneezing. The girls wont stop talking about it and asking when they can go back. I think the girls would like to live at The Farm.

Halle's Baptism

It was a great day for a baptism. Halle was beautiful and ready to become a member of the Church.

I have to say the day couldn't have gone better. Our family and friends were there supporting us. We have the best families and friends ever. Thank You for all of your support.

I always do things backwards- this is the "brunch" after Halle's Baptism.

Double Threat!!

Grandma Nan and Grandma Char both helped out at the baptism. Grandma Nan lead the songs, and Grandma Char played the piano. I guess the girls get their abilities from both sides of the family.
