Last Vacation of the Summer...:(

We celebrated the last days of summer on a trip to the Oregon coast. If any of you have a chance - visit the Priceline site. It's awesome! You input a price you're willing to pay for a hotel and it lets you know if the hotel will accept it. We stayed in Astoria and the going rate was around $165-180 a night. I put in $125 and it was accepted (makes me wonder if I'd put a lower amount in would it have accepted it?). Pretty neat! We went to the Astoria Farmer's Market, Seaside and Cannon Beach. The weather was perfect!

Here they're throwing rocks - a favorite pass time in our family...

So I'm new to this blogging thing...

You all will laugh - I've completely done this wrong. It was supposed to start with her birth and work her way up to the present and it's doing the opposite. Makes sense I guess!!!! Stupid stupid stupid! (You've gotta love Chris Farley.) I'll try to fix this and finish it later - or maybe just keep it like this, either way I have a screaming baby downstairs right now!

Ahhhh, the joys of the holiday season





You've got to love posing your kids for pictures, right?


Me and my little chickie!

Halloween '07


Last Halloween the girls were all chickies. They're here with my sister Laura.

With Daddy - doesn't look like she's having all that much fun huh?

First time at the beach!


This is her Uncle Ben holding her - I think we were at the Tillamook Cheese factory - YUM!!! If you haven't tried the white licorice ice cream, you are missing out!!!!

Her first Father's Day


I'm sure Dave will love me posting this picture, but Hallie looks cute in it!

With her loving sisters!!!


18 months old!!!!!






I cannot believe my little Hallie Berry is 18 months on Sunday! I feel like I just had her - maybe because she won't give up nursing?! She was sure a cranky mama's girl as an infant but she has turned into my little ray of sunshine. I don't know what I'd do without hearing "what you doing mama?" or when she puts up her finger and says "be yight back!" She is hilarious! So this post is a little tribute to the last 18 months with my little snuggle bunny.
