First Day of School July 2011

Brothers Having Fun

Warner loves the wild and crazy ride.

Summer 2011

Warner 10 month, Bo 5 1/2, Nash almost 3

Bo always impresses me. He is always nice to his siblings-all of them.

Warner 9 months

Warner is very curious and loves to explore. He is the first of the Hall kids to show a timid side. He is very unsure of strangers and unfamiliar places. It takes him only a few hours to warm up and then he becomes brave.

Big Utah Trip June 2011

This summer we created vacation memories in Utah. We drove half way and stayed in a small town in a hotel that Adam and I got a good laugh at. We found "Mater" and we visited Salt Lake Temple. The kids loved everything. We also spent one day in Park City, and rode roller coasters and jumped on the big trampoline. Bo loved the trampoline the most, while Anni and Hershal enjoyed speeding down the fastest roller coaster ever. I was terrified and lost my voice from screaming too loud! The biggest surprise of the trip was at the family "dance off" Hershal definitely won the contest for the most creative and intense. He was the last one to leave the dance floor. What a fun memory for me.......I will never forget his face while he was dancing!

Values Camp

Anni and a friend put together a mini-camp this summer. It was a great success. For 3 days kids came over and made crafts, played, and learned about 3 different values. I was proud of Anni for wanting to do such a great thing. And she earned money that was a great motivator. She charged 5 dollars per kids per week and we had 20 kids sign up! It was fun!

Hershal's Black Eye

This picture did not capture how bad Hersha'ls Eye looked after he ran into the baby car seat while trying to catch a football thrown by his much older cousin McKay. He was brave and had to get a few stitches, but luckily Uncle Jon was with us when it happened. We were all in Provo Canyon for our 2011 Jones Family Reunion. I think Hershal was the most proud, when Aunt Becki told him to save his "bloody" shirt and never wash it, so he can always remember his brave moment. We still have the shirt.......

Mothers Day

I had the most wonderful Mother's Day this year. My kids all surprised me with hand written notes that actually had a lot of thought behind it. Adam always treats me so great on Mother's Day. He cooks, babysits and cleans. I look forward to it all year. I especially love the flower corsage that I get to wear to church. Every time I have a first grader, I get the royal spa treatment. This year Hershal gave me a luxurious pedicure and a back rub that was to die for. ( He had been practicing his lotion skills and back rub skills for about one month before hand, which I thought was so cute). Anyway he did a great job, don't my toes look wonderful?

Warner at 7 months.

So we gave him another hair cut. I always miss his long locks, but I must say he looks pretty stink in cute with his hair all gelled up. He is so active and scoots around the house all day long. He has the one arm army crawl down right now. He loves to play with anything that is laying on the floor, he is very curious. More than Nash and Bo were. We are constantly picking up the house for things that might be dangerous for him

Easter 2011

Bo gets the most excited about any holiday. He made these cute little birds nest with peeps and handed them out to kids at Hershal's baseball game.

Justin Beiber Baby

Nash's favorite song is "Baby" by the one and only JB. He will sit at the computer for hours and watch the music video. (of course pre-approved by mom) He sings the whole song and know is word for word. Nash makes me laugh!

Warner at 5 months

Warner is so chill at 5 months. I love his hair and I hope I never forget how crazy it is. He is the easiest baby we have ever had! Anni was a close second though.

BO's Five

Bo Is Five! I can't believe it. Bo is such a good help to me at home. I will miss him so much when he goes to kindergarten. He always makes me laugh by the words he uses to describe his life, or should I say "his world" For some reason he says everything is my world? He has outgrown the girl phase and is onto looking cool and is very proud of his big muscles. Bo loves to ride his bike and he is very good at entertaining himself.

Hershal and Bo and Chinese Outfits

So my mom and dad went to China town and got all of the grand kids Chinese outfits. To my sup rise, Hershal and Bo wore them to school the next day! I wish I had a picture of Hershal getting on the bus with his Chinese outfit. But I did manage to snap one of Bo before he rushed off to preschool. I wondered what Hershal's teacher was thinking of the matter. When he got home from school I asked, "So Hershal, what did your teacher say about your clothes?" He said, Nothing, she just stared at me!" (I would have too, if I was Hershal's teacher!)

Nash and Nacho

All of my kids have had their "favorite" movies when they are 2 or 3 years old. Anni's was Snow White, Hershal's was Nemo, Bo's was Cars and Nash.........well.....Nacho Libre. I am amazed that he has watched it over 50 times and loves it still. He laughs at all of the funny parts and asks me to rewind it during his favorites. Among his favorite scenes is "get that corn out of my face" and he loves to say that line over and over. He walks around the back yard for hours as Nacho and calls it"Macho". Since we don't have the "real" Nacho Libre suit. Nash has figured out to wear the batman cape and spider man mask. I guess he is learning how to "make do" with what we've got around the house. Nash cracks Adam and I up all of the time. He talks very well, we constantly forget he is only 2.

CRAZY HAIR

Warner is definitely known for his Head of Hair. He takes after his dad, we try to comb it down or to the side, but it just wants to stick straight up. I guess he has stubborn hair, but I love it that way. He is always happy and smiling. I love him! (Warner feb, 2011 5 months)

Warner at 3 months

Warner started sleeping through the night at about 14 weeks! He is so fun. He loves all the noise that this house brings. He is the most smiley baby that I can remember. He always smiles!

Excited For Chirstmas 2010

Bo, who is almost 5, wins the "most excited for Christmas award" this year in the Hall Family. He told dad "Get the star on the tree right now" and it was funny because after we took this picture I took down all of the "kids"ornaments. (I know that is such a horrible thing to do) but I wanted a "pretty" tree this year. So Bo came home from preschool and noticed that I had taken down all of his ornaments. He asked me what happened to it, I was able to distract him but then that night I asked Bo to turn the Christmas tree lights on and he said grudgingly, "Fine, But that tree STINKS!" So I will need to buy 2 Christmas trees next year. One for me and one for the kids.

"Annie" with Grandma Whiting

Our Anni and Hershal got to go out on a special date with their favorite "Grandma Whiting". They took a trip to the Broadway Palm Theatre in East Mesa. The show was wonderful and they loved eating dinner there too. Grandma Whiting is the funnest ever! Thanks Grandma!
