my "New Love"...

Meet my new GREEN PEA COAT!!

I have a new love!!! And it was such a bargin too. $100 coat for less than $40! You just cant beat that. Thanks to a patient husband who drove me to the store twice to visit and try it on... and to Dru for the coupon...and to the store, for a last minute markdown on an already once marked down coat!!

Big Girl!

This was Jayla only a couple days old...Already guarding it with her life.

Last Sunday night we couldn't find the Binky when it was time for bed so little Miss Jayla was left to fall asleep without it. Poor girl cried for an hour before passing out. The next morning she asked for it all morning but it must have fallen out at one of our gas stops on the way back from Az. Because it was nowhere to be found. (Keep in mind her Binky's have been discontinued so if we ever needed more you have to search eBay and they are selling for $22 for a pack of only 2!) That's just crazy so we decided she needs to "grow up"... or out of a pacifier at least. lol

So the one remaining Binky i handed to her and asked to toss it in the trash and she did!!! We said our goodbyes to it and i suck it back out so if she searched for it it would be there! (and because i was thinking that was too easy and planning on a freak out later) Well, its been a whole week without it! yay! no more Binky at naps or at night! She isn't even asking for it anymore. Im really shocked it worked. My mom told me it would but i waited too long to try it. Jayla has been connected to them since she was only a day old! Literally! My momma went to the store and bought one of each kind and once she found her favorite... she never slept without it! Well Bye bye Binky. And I HOPE NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! :)

New Nativity

Grandma Dru got the girls a "Little people" nativity set. It is so adorable. It took way too long to get the thing out of the box,but Jayla loves it!!! I thought it was so sweet how we could ask her "where is baby Jesus?"...and frantically she would search and bring him to us. Its those moments that melt my heart and only for a split second make me want another baby. then reality set in. jayla flung Jesus across the room with a devious cackle and yelling "boom Jesus!" Oh yikes. i picked him up and showed her how to rock him and be sweet... that didn't last long though! All night she kept huking him across the room saying BOOM JESUS. Dru said she must have some Evangelist in her! Hahahah!! She is such a crack up.

sorry ...

Just wanted to share...

We're Alive!!

Even though my blogging has been dead... The Hall family is still very much alive. lol We have been very busy the last few months and in the hustle and bustle of everyday life this blog gets neglected. At the end of the day i am lucky to have have had the time to shampoo AND condition in the same shower...so you can see how blogging has gotten away from me.

I thought i would play catch up though and fill everyone in on Summer 2009!

(if you scroll to the bottom 1st it is in order...not sure how i did that, but it would be to much of a pain to start over!)

Wow... I cant believe she is a big sister! A good one too...she brings me the Binky whenever Chloe cries...and you have to watch her close because she loves to share her food and juice with Chloe!

Don't let the photo fool you she was being WILD!!! Out of 15 pics i think only 2 were her holding still!

Little Miss Jayla!

I think she looks just like her daddy!

Hall baby #2 ...also long feet...poor girl!
