EASTER

So apparently it was to cold to carry on the tradition of having an easter egg hunt outside, but it's never to cold to ride the horses.... this is Noah's 1st time on a horse and he absolutely loved it!
This is Noah, patiently waiting to ride the horse with his Grandpa Doug!

Noah with his cousin Andrea. They love to hang out together!
Noah, ditching his easter egg hunting "partner"....he was so above needing any help finding the eggs.

What! Where's all the candy....as soon as Noah figured out there was candy, the hunt was over and he was all about eating his treats.

Pics of baby Halle!

I thought this was so cute...Halle loves to be swaddled! Even in her car seat.

You ask me if I think her head will EVER be the size of this flower!....the answer is, "no--but isn't she so cute."

She's such a peaceful and sweet little baby. Untill you give her a bath.
Halle's first bath at home. She hates to be cold, something that Noah never seemed to care about.

At the Hospital....

After 12 hours of a "semi-easy" labor, our sweet little Hallie was born.
It seemed to have taken forever to progress, untill I was dialated to a 6 1/2....then within a half hour I was a 10 and ready to push....5 minutes later, we had a beautiful baby girl!

Hallie was born Monday morning at 3:38. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 1/2 in.

I immediately felt a strong bond, and a sense of protection for Hallie. I guess because she's my little GIRL.


Hallie's proud grandparents. # 17 on the Atwood side and the Johnson's 11th grandchild.

Isn't she precious....It's amazing how much LOVE you can feel for somebody else. We are so happy to have her in our family. Noah's a little curious to what's going on, but he seems to be handling things just fine. He's spent lots of time with his grandparents--which he loves.

BABY HALLIE!

Hallie is such a good baby! She hardly cries...only when it's time to eat.

Daddy loves his little princess.

Just chillin...waiting to go home.

We had to wait a few hours before we were discharged because my blood pressure was high.
Dr. Dewey ordered some perscriptions, and after waiting an hour for the medication to kick in we were able to take Hallie home! We love our new baby...

BOYS in the Laundry room

This was at our time share in St. George...
Kelli and I walked in to find Ethan & Noah playing in between the washer and dryer!
They were having so much fun, playing with each other.

They could have been entertained for hours. (If we would have let them)...
