Picture Project

Brenna is in a choir directed by Jenny Phillips and she was given a project to get pictures of women holding babies, women attending the temple, women and youth at the temple, reading scriptures, praying, and things of that nature for a video that Jenny is trying to put together so we did a mini photo shoot with our kids. These are some of my favorites.

Pumpkin Patch

Eric and I took the girls to The Big Red Barn Pumpkin Patch in Santaquin. They had hay rides (well wagon rides) to the patch and Rylyn loved it. It was kinda chilly but Rylyn didn't seem to mind. Hallie slept the whole time on Eric's chest so it was a successful trip.

Daddy and Hallie all bundled up.
I love my girls! Ry makes things interesting but always something to look forward to.

Trying to decide which pumpkin she wants.

Got it!!!

Denney Girls

There are three of us now. Well three of Eric Denney's girls that is and here are some pictures of how we spend our time. Rylyn is too smart. I guess I can't have her watch me do makeup anymore cause she knows how to do hers now...

Sort of! It is a good thing I don't wear waterproof mascara or it would have been a pain to get off.

Going for walk is a favorite of both girls! I think they just like to be outside and moving.
We still spend a lot of time snuggling regardless of when or where. Rylyn says "ho- yoo" which means hold me and so whatever I am doing gets dropped and that is what I try to do.
Rylyn loves having a baby sister. She tries so hard to be gentle and snuggle her. Ry loves giving Hallie kisses too.

It has been a while since I posted anything and I missed a lot of summer fun but here are some pictures to catch up on.

We went to Lagoon with my parents, Brenna and her boys, and Tempy and her kids. Most of the day was spent at Lagoona Beach so there aren't many pictures.

My crazy girl in her "Hollywoods" (that is what we call her sunglasses) and even crazier hair.

Playing in the dirt at a wedding reception we went to in Nephi before we moved. Too cute to make her try to stay clean!
Playing in the pool in the back yard at our old apartment. It was too hot this summer to do much of anything else!
She is a water baby and I love it! I can't wait til next summer so we can really play in the water!

Hallie Mae Denney

Our precious little girl has arrived!!! Hallie Mae was born Thursday September 24, 2009 at 5:06pm. She weighed 8lbs and was 20in. She is absolutely wonderful! We had a pretty good labor and only had to push for a little over 3 minutes. It was actually great! I felt so good after she was born. I had the nurse turn off the epidural right after and had feeling back in my legs really quickly and was able to get up and walk around about 45 minutes after she was born. She had a kinda rough time though because the cord was wrapped around her neck twice. She came so quickly though that it really did not create any serious problems for her. She had a hard time breathing at first because she came so fast but recovered really well and rather quickly.

Rylyn ABSOLUTELY LOVES and ADORES her baby sister. When she got to the hospital she climbed up on my lap and motioned for daddy to give her the baby. She just sat and stared at her and would say "hi" and "wow" and "my baby". She was so soft and gentle with her, it just came so natural.

Two under 2 is going to be fun! There is definitely a cute bond between my girls! Hallie is so patient with her big sister and Rylyn just cannot get enough of HER baby. Kisses are a huge part of Hallie's life and they come from all sides.

Friday morning was a great experience. I woke up to my WONDERFUL husband holding my precious baby and we spent all day just staring at her and enjoying how content she is. I LOVE being a mommy!
