Going Private

Hey, I have decided to go private. Send your e-mail address to me at wendyrussell@cableone.net if you would like to be invited. I will be going private the first of February. Thanks!

Cute pics

Trevor's sister took these pictures and we think they are pretty cute, so we decided to share with everyone else.

She likes her blankie.

Plus, she likes her thumb!

4 Months Old & 5 Months Old

Halle turned 4 months old on December 8th. I am way behind on posting, so here is a picture of her on December 1.

She will turn 5 months old on January 8th. Trevor's little sister has been babysitting Halle a few days of the week and she loves her cousins and they love her. They can make her giggle and giggle. It is one of her favorite things. We have also started her on rice cereal and baby foods and she likes most anything we give her to try. We are getting ready to start trying a sippy cup. Tara's little boy loves Halle several times everyday. Today as I was getting ready to leave he kept loving on her and she kept pinching his cheek. They both thought it was funny and they just talked to each other in their own little language. SO CUTE!

Halle, the cheek pincher, and being happy about it, but so was Max. He almost fell asleep with her pinching his cheek and his little butt up in the air.

Christmas Moments

We were super busy for Christmas running back and forth to family's houses. These pictures were taken at Trevor's parents house. Some on Christmas Eve and some on Christmas day. We had a great Christmas and it was so fun to have Halle for her first Christmas. She really liked alot of things she got and she loved the wrapping paper.

From Here to Eternity

This weekend Trevor and I were able to go through the temple Friday night for our endowments. We had a lot of support and were able to go out to dinner with most of our support at Sizzler. Then on Saturday morning we were able to be sealed to each other and then have Halle sealed into our eternal family. They were both sacred experiences so I don't want to put up any details, but I wanted to include our pictures from our sealing day.

Halle Blessing day

This Last Sunday Trevor blessed Halle. He did a great job on the blessing.

Two month old

One month old

Halle is a month old and she has been a joy to our family. I don't know what I would do with out her.

Halle first truck show

Trevor took Halle to her very first truck show. He even got pictures of her on this yellow truck. That just made his day.

Pediatric Center Fun Run

Trevor and I took Halle to the Pediatric Center Fun Run. It was a new experience, but fun. The pediatricians office does this every year and all of their patients are invited to participate whether they are in strollers or run or walk. Trevor pushed Halle in the stroller for the race. After the race every child gets a medal and a prize. This years prize consisted of: sun hat, granola bar, trail mix, water bottle, and sunglasses. Halle is small for all of the stuff, but she'll grow into her hat, glasses, and using the water bottle.

Me, Trevor, and Halle as we came across the finish line.

Halle Joanne Thomas

Halle Joanne Thomas joined our family Saturday, August 8, 2009.

She weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and is 21.5 inches long.

She is home and we are all doing well. She has had a touch of jaundice, but otherwise has been a joy to have in our home. She has lots of visitors and we are still getting used to each other, so this is all for now.

Welcome to the world Halle.

Her favorite position. A fist in the eye.

Happy Birthday Trevor!

Trevor's birthday was on the 12th of July, but we didn't celebrate it with his family until this weekend. We went to his sister's house for dinner and cake and ice cream. Trevor got to open presents from his family. He got jeans, a book, a bag for church, a new flavor of Oreo's, and a tie. We had lots of fun. I also had my baby showers this weekend. I don't have the pictures with me now, so I'll have to add them later. The baby got spoiled with lots of clothes, blankets, stroller, swing, car seat, toys, wipes, and bathing supplies. We had a great weekend!

Trevor's cool cake that his awesome little sister made. :-)

Trevor with his cake and presents. Can you tell he loves having his picture taken?

Another shot. He wouldn't even look at the camera.



These are some of the things I received at my baby shower, but I will be adding more pictures later. Sometimes Trevor's little sister helps update the blog and these are the only pictures she has because she made all of these things for our baby.

Heart rag blanket. One of a kind.
