Music to our ears

We were so proud of Berlynn,Luke, Dallen and Savanah. They have really worked so hard and it paid off! They were in Mrs. Wolfs music recital and all did a fabulous job! It was a memorable evening...even Alex showed off his talents as he ran and kicked the glass of lemonade right onto Isaballa sitting in her car seat! We have talented children, what can I say!

Baby Isabella

A couple of photos to remember how little Isabella is and too look back on these fleeting precious moments in her life! Welcome Baby Isabella, we already cant imagine life without you!

Dallen Turns 10

Dallen turned 10 on the 29th of May! He was very excited to open his gifts and and find his very own ipod! He had a great day and took a couple of friends to play minature golf and have dinner! Happy birthday Dallydoo!

Bath time

This is for the Grandmas and Aunties that couldnt be here for the mile stone!! After waiting anxiously for her umbilical cord to fall off..the day finally came and baby Isabella loved her first bath!

Baseball Seasons Highs and Lows

Dallen and Luke were on the Yankees team this year being coached by the worlds greatest dad and coach..none other than the our very own...Dad!! It was a tough season for the team but Luke and Dallen both had a great season and both got rewarded the game ball this year!
It has been so exciting to see how they are growing and improving!They are looking forward to Baseball camp at BYU this summer!! Watch out Babe Ruth!

Move over Mom!

Savannah Leigh was selected to be in her Schools Annual Art Show that was held at the High School. She did such a great job and I am so proud of her creative spirit and creations! Way to go Vannahlee

Isabella Mia arrives

Isabella Mia Hall came into our world, family and hearts on the 14th of May 2009. What a precious little angel directly from our Heavenly Father. She is healthy and beautiful and looks just like her sisters and brothers!

Spring is in the air

I love this time of the year! After a long, grey winter the sight of those first daffodils and tulips, always makes my heart leap with joy and gratitude! It really is so symbolic to me that at this time of year we also celebrate Easter and our Saviors Resurrection. I am so grateful for new life and also the opportunity to repent and start a fresh each day!



We were blessed this year to have my sister Theresa and her 2 children Elle and William come and spend Easterwith us! We had a great time together and were able to visit some of the sights in Philadelphia. Most of all we were able to just be together,catch up and let the cousins play! Baba also popped in for a quick visit in between his travels.. Alex was sure to take him out (hourly) and show him a thing or two about the golf swing!!
This was Alexs first real experience with finding " eggies". He was overwhelmed with excitement to think that there were treats in the garden..every day after that he gets his little bucket out and wants to go and find more..Easter Bunny please come again soon!!

Anthoney turns18:High School Graduate, Eagle Scout and soon to be College man!

Anthoney turned 18 on the 11th of April! He is such a blessing to our family. We are so proud of him. This is a big year for him and he has come through with flying colors. He just had his Eagle review and will have his Court of Honor in June when he will graduate from High School too. In August he will be heading to Provo Utah to UVU.
We are going to miss him incredibly! He is an example to each of how staying close to Heavenly Father, working hard and being focused on your goals and all that is good and true brings such great blessings! We love you Ants.. Happy Birthday!

Alex is hooked!

After watching Baba on TV, golf has become all that Alex eats, dreams and thinks about!! We are now on his second club and have to applaud every time he makes contact with the ball! Watch out Tiger Woods!

Baba says fairwell to the Masters

What an emotional week it has been for our family. My dad decided that after 52 years of playing at Augusta National and winning it 3 times, that this would be his last. Unfortunately we were not able to be there with him this year due to my pregnant condition!!
It was a very touching experience watching him come up the 18th hole for the last time and seeing him bend on one knee for a moment of gratitude to Our Heavenly Father and pause to take his ball out of the hole. He is truly a great man who we love and honor and feel so blessed to call Father. My mom said that he received a standing ovation at EVERY hole..I was in tears just watching it on TV and so I cant imagine being there!! Alex was just enthralled to see his Baba on TV and thought he was waving at him personally!!

Baseball Season Begins

The boys are on the same team again this year and we have the best coach in the league! MATT!! They are the Yankees! So far they are having a great season with both of them just shining in each of the games! So fun to watch them pitching and hitting! Both of them are so good..no bias from Mom at ALL!!

NCAA

BYU came to the Wachovia Center!! We were so excited we all filled out our brackets and headed for the game!! We had nose bleed tickets, but Matt managed to get us sitting almost court side for the BYU game! Even though they lost it was a really fun family outing! I picked BYU going pretty much going all the way on my bracket..but guess who got the most points at the end of the tournament,,mmmhumm..MOM!!
So much for all that studying and scrutinizing..I was going to scan in my bracket but I didn't want to rub it in ALL the way!!

Eternity!

Matt and I went down to the Washington DC temple for our Ward's Temple trip. I am so grateful for these precious moments in my life.
I am grateful for a incredible husband that I can share the sacred moments and experiences of my life with. We have been blessed with many amazing and miraculous experiences in the temple together.We are so excited for the new temple that is going to be built in Philadelphia!

Savannahs 7th Birthday Party!

If New York was not enough to remember, we had a party too!! A couple of Savannah's friends came over for pizza, cake, and games!!It is amazing how a couple of 7 year olds can really take it out of you!! Savannah had a ball and just was in top form!! Happy Birthday Savannah..please dont get too used to this kind of celebrating!!
