Ian

Ian is getting sooooo BIG! He was sooooo excited to go to school! I was soooo excited to find one still enrolling! He tells me every day that he likes his school a lot! He pointed out that he now has school clothes and play clothes like Elijah!

LOL Our sweet boy Ian had to go to Time Out! We told him he was done and to come down stairs...he came down but still did not want to talk to us so he went over to this corner...we were eating dinner and a couple of minutes went by and I thought, " Man, he is being quiet..." well this is what we found! Silly boy, runs himself ragged during the day, I can't get him to take a nap at a normal time...Oh well life is good!

Hey everyone! So far we have been pretty busy here in Boise. Robert had his 32nd Birthday on the 5th so we had family over to celebrate. Then the Bishop came over to visit! THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Aaron is now a missionary so Elijah wanted a picture with him...and Addy's hair is long enough to put in a little pony tail!!! ISN'T THAT CUTE!! We were given a raise already...because we are sooo good! LOL Anyway, we are doing well, BUT we still miss all our friends...(((HUGS))) all around!

Addy with her cute pigtail.

Kindergarten

Elijah is in Kindergarten can you believe it!!! His teacher's name is Mrs. Lyon and is great! Elijah missed the first week of school because of the move, but when we got there she had everything ready with his name on it which made it sooo great for Elijah. He loves Kindergarten and can't believe he goes EVERY DAY!!

Bye Bye Beaverton!

I know this should have been BEFORE the last post but I hadn't loaded pics yet....Thank you to all who helped us move! You are AWESOME! We are going to miss you and all you have done for our family....onto a new adventure!

***UPDATE***

Yes it is true. We are heading to Boise Idaho where Robert can finish...continue his college education at Boise State. We have excepted a apartment management position and will be co-managing a 168 unit complex, phew that's a big one so wish us luck! We will miss the great northwest, especially having grandma and grandpa so close....also now my sista is up here...=( We are looking forward to our new adventure and I am looking forward for Robert getting done with school! We will miss our friends and ward terribly. Don't worry, we will be back to torment you, or storm in on you with a plate of goodies!!

We love you guys!

WARNING...LOTS OF PICS

BIG TRUCK DAY!!
Even though it was one of the HOTTEST DAYS EVER we had a BLAST!! There were soooo many different trucks, the boys were in HEAVEN!

Even though Addy was HOT and had to ride in the stroller the whole time she was sooo good!










Elijah swished both his shots and everyone around him cheered! It was great!

Ian did a great job too! He ended up dunking it!

Daddy was at a 3 on 1 B-Ball dodad so he met up with us at the very end. We were glad he could make it!

Wilsonville Water Park

Thank you Jessica for taking us to this AWESOME Water Park!!! We had soooo much fun. My boys are already wanting to go back!

NILMDTS

For those of you who don't know I became a volunteer photographer for the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization. It is an organization that has only been around for 3 years and has around 6,000 members. We as infant remembrance photographers, volunteer our time and talents to taking pictures for the families that have lost an infant. It is AMAZING!!!!

I have had 4 calls and finally got to go and do a session with an amazing hispanic family. You could feel the love they had for one another for the sweet spirit that was no longer with them. She was a beautiful 38 week old that had a cord accident. On the way to the hospital I prayed for stregnth that I would be able to keep myself together to capture these presious memories that will help this family heal! The Lord blessed me with that stregnth and I had an unforgetable experience. I am so honored to be able to provide this service to those families in need.

Thank you to my family for your support in letting me be a part of this beautiful work!
This video tells about the organization. Once you watch it you will understand where I get the LOVE and DESIRE to do what I do! Enjoy!

A little taste of Girls Camp 2008

Little happenings with the Hallenberger's

My friend did this on her blog and I thought it was a great idea. These are just a few of the things we have been up to around here.
This is one of the things I love about Robert! When he play his guitar and the piano. The kids love it too! This was Addy's first time hearing it...she loves to listen to Daddy play.


We went to some water falls a few Sunday's back. Aren't they cute!

For being such a lady she does not eat like one!!


I burnt my babies.. =( We went to a birthday party that had swimming. I didn't have my sunscreen (that someone took out of the car) and no one else had sun screen either. I thought they would be ok because they had a base tan, mommy was wrong. They were good sports and LOVED the aloe on their backs!


This was Elijah's baseball team. Aren't they silly!
